The best food in town. The service is great. I have been eating here at this gem for 15 years. I love it!

Shailin Diaz

Karen Benitez

My family has been coming here since I was a little girl, still a family staple 20+ years later. Love this place! The owner is so sweet & makes you feel at home.

Tremendous place...the food is delicious and fresh, the portions are gigantic, and the prices are very fair. The service was also good 👍 my son took me there for father's day and i love it!!!! Sincerely...Carlos, I like to add after reading some negative reviews , I can't believe that someone gave this restaurant a negative review over hot sauce..that's unbelievable!!!! The sense of entitlement of some people is outrageous, an Ecuadorian restaurant is not going to give you "Chinese hot SAUCE.." LOL 🤣.. UNREAL...

We were a group of 7. We went for lunch and only had 1 hour or less. They took our order really fast and the food came out quick also. The food was amazingggggggggg. I ordered the “arroz chaufa” with shrimp, beef, chicken, ham and egg. I think at least 3 people can eat from it because they serve so much. They have my favorite freshly squeezed orange juice and other variety. The food from my friends was also excellent and delicious. Pictures tell the story.

Gicell Reyes

Despite the many complaints regarding wait time on some of these reviews, we had no issues on a Sunday. The restaurant has parking which is a huge plus. We needed a table for two and were called within 5 minutes. We did not wait for our food very long, food was delicious and fresh. Our server was very attentive. Will definitely be back to try other dishes! Thank you

Tuffy Navarro

This food is always a plus, the lomo the ceviche everything on the menu is top notch...this particular picture is ceviche camarones Ecuadorian style and Peruvian style on the other plate...avocado salad was good and fried plaintans are great

I got the carne mixta parilla i think. But it has variety of meats. With 2 sides plate is about 30$. Also they serve beer and have a juke box. They are closed on Tuesday and usually have a 30 min wait.

Jaime Delgado

Next best thing to eating Ecuadorian food in Ecuador. Great fast friendly service and large portions at a great value! Will be returning again and again!

Danna Herrera

The food was pretty this time . I was there last year and I was not happy with the quality of the food . But I revisit this weekend and they have improved it a lot . The jalea was nice a hot /fresh and the cevivhe mixto was really good !!

Carolina M Medina Matos

Love the food. Best ceviche peruano I've ever had. BUT the wait times are insane. They should consider moving to a bigger location.

The food is moderate but you get a bang out of your buck. They put a large portion of seafood in the dishes compared to other restaurants in the area. You need to try their seafood soup which they are known for. People usually get the seafood soup as a hangover cure as I was told.

Elizabeth Lopez

This is an Ecuadorian/Peruvian Restaurant the place is not a fancy place , the bathroom is not that cleanest unfortunately. If you go there get ready to wait up to an hour and another half hour to get your food. The only thing is that they cook the food at the moment, and the food is absolutely delicious.

Gloria Vallejo

This place is not what it used to be. Now they use pollack fish for the Peruvian ceviche. The meat was hard, they don’t clean the soda cans, it had crusty stuff on it. So sad, it used to be one of my family’s favorite place.

Bridget Ansah

Very poor customer service, hang the phone up when i called to complain that ii am missing part of my order. And to add salt to injury the food was horrible.

Row Luxe

There was a hair cooked within the ceviche I was eating and I noticed after a few bites. I called the restaurant and they said they can only offer me another place of food instead of a refund 😭 unacceptable! I only ordered ceviche with white rice and tostones but after seeing the hair I couldn’t eat ANYTHING else

I haven't been to Venus since my mom passed away we used to always eat there and it was always good memories. However, I was about to pour my apple soda in my cup of ice and there was a dead cockroach 🪳 in my cup of ice. Just remembering this I am gagging and about to 🤢 vomit. Absolutely turned off !!!
