Delicious food and good service, not your typical Mexican restaurant, many different things from Peru. Still going there and enjoying the food several times a year 2025.

Stopped in for lunch and a quick drink. Had a michelada and an empanada. I have been all over Mexico and had many empanadas throughout the Yucatan. This version is Peruvian style and was a slight different variation from what I was used to. It was fun to try a different cultures food for a different experience. The service was outstanding and made a a great experience.

Great food and great service! The salsa you receive with the chips when you sit down is a tad spicy for me but it didn’t stop me from eating it. I had an empanada appetizer and flautas with rice and beans for the main course.

Absolutely fantastic. I got to meet the owner as well. She was super sweet and we talked about Birmingham. If you’re looking for Latin food not just Tex-Mex or American Mexican this is the place. They have some dishes for those unfamiliar with Latin cuisine as well. Tasting the Plátanos reminded me of my time in Miami. Very authentic. Very affordable. Very delicious.

THIS IS NOT A MEXICAN RESTAURANT— it is South American. If you are coming here for a generic American style Mexican restaurant you will be disappointed. The cuisine here is AMAZING! The waitress recommended a soup that wasn’t on the menu and let me tell you that soup was a perfect compliment to the cold day outside! I’ve been coming here for over 5 years and I have never been disappointed. The Paella is amazing as well and the portions are GENEROUS 💗💗💗💗💗

I've eaten 3 times now here, and I've order the Milanesa de Pollo, Lomo Saltado and Tallarines a la Huancaína, and I just have to say that the dishes at this place are amazing, their Peruvian cuisine is delicious and I'd recommend it to anyone hands down. The staff is also very friendly and a pro tip: try their passion fruit juice, it goes well with any of their dishes. A must visit when coming to Birmingham for me from now on.

May 30, 2021 - 4:30pm First time for me - Husband works on this side of town and eats here regularly. The restaurant is very clean and staff wears face masks for CoViD. We were shown to our table and received a basket of chips and salsa when we ordered our drinks. The menu is large, with many Peruvian/Latin inspired dishes. We chose to split the Papa Rellena con Polla, a mashed potato patty stuffed with seasoned chopped chicken and then deep fried - ($5). Absolutely delicious. Hot, crispy and not overly greasy. Will definitely order again. For the entree, we chose Parrillada Latina, grilled steak, chicken, sausage, seasoned grilled vegetables, fried yuca, plantains, rice, & salad for 2 - ($24). It was served sizzling hot on a cast iron skillet. Wonderful presentation and plenty of food for the both of us. I highly recommend you give this a try.

Overcrowded Not enough staff to accommodate crowd and provide the best service from drink orders to margarita refills to bringing out food on time to not be cold Margarita sometimes too watered down Remake of food was delicious 😋

I quite enjoyed this place, but just had one issue. The staff were nice but there was only 2 for the entire restaurant, which was quite empty on a Thursday night. You are served a thing of tortilla chips and a spicy salsa. I had a steak with white rice, over easy egg and guacamole. I loved the guacamole, it was seasoned perfectly and creamy. The over easy egg was done perfectly and the white rice was great! The steak could have been really good but I asked for medium and it was well done, so it was tough, the flavors were good though. The paella valanceaga was pretty good! It's not a typical paella but a rice made and then added in meat like shrimp, squid, octopus, green mussels, and sausage. The rice had some spiciness to it that reminded me of a seafood seasoning, overall it was quite delicious! As for the drinks I had the lime frozen margarita and it was delicous! I definitely recommend trying this place out if you want to try some more of the authentic Latino and Peruvian dishes.

My wife and I were staying in a hotel nearby and decided to try this place for something different. The staff are friendly and be warned, the salsa they serve with chips is very spicy compared to most restaurants, but it's delicious. My wife had a tamale and something like quesadilla triangles. I ordered the fajita steak quesadilla. Both were very good.

The food didn’t meet our expectations in terms of flavor. We ordered a variety of dishes since we were a large group, but unfortunately, nothing really tasted like authentic Peruvian cuisine. No one in our group was fully satisfied with their meal. However The service was very friendly and attentive, which we appreciated!
