8 pm, Saturday night, place was packed!! Warmly greeted by the owner. Quickly seated, ordered, food came fast (Lomo Saltado, fried plantains - with a refreshing Mojito Passion fruit! (Yummy!!)) Warm and courteous wait staff - highly recommended will return!!

Been dining here off an on for a few years whenever I am in the area. Food never disappoints. The mussels and entrana (skirt steak) with sweet plantains are my go to appetizer and entree.

Fast service, large portions, and a steady stream of regulars even on a Tuesday night. All the makings of a good place. I went here with a friend and the ceviche (blue snapper) was super good, definitely easy to split as an app between 2-3 people or eat alone as an entree. I got the steak and my friend got a chicken dish. They were both good in different ways, I liked hers a lot more than mine but I think that's just because of the amount of tomato. The desserts were large and tasty, I'd recommend the ice cream (which almost seems more sorbet like).

Had a really fun evening here. Atmosphere was great - very cozy with fun music (which wasn’t too loud!) Had a tasty passion fruit mojito mocktail that was perfect for my dry January. Dinner was the Lomo Soltado. I’d recommend this place with friends or alone!

This place was recommended to me and ohh boy did this hit the spot. It tasted like my mother in law’s home cooked meals. I got the empanadas chicken and beef. Main course Tallerin verde con carné and pollo saltado. The chicha was homemade and tasty. Definitely need to try this again!

The seviche is amazing. Great price on pitcher of sangria. Fried calamari is a must. Service was fast. Family frienly. Less than 10 minute wait for table. Music was great, not too loud. Will go again!!

We had the mussels, anticucho with papas a la huancaína, ceviche and the paella. Very delicious! The sauce on the potatoes is good, but not as good as the other plates. The rest, definitely good. We got the sangria, which has pisco, good stuff if a bit surprising. The service is alright. Thursday’s aren’t super busy so we got a table without waiting. Definitely recommend it and don’t forget to get the lúcuma ice cream, it’s a delicacy.

One of my favorite restaurants that I’ve been to!!! We stumbled upon this place accidentally when it was raining and were looking to grab dinner at the closest restaurant—and we were so glad we did! Every dish we had was amazing and cooked to perfection. We got the plaintains, ceviche and lomo saltado—highly recommend them all. I can’t wait to go back!

I am Peruvian and have tried almost all the Peruvian places in Manhattan. This is my new go-to spot in NYC. Very attentive service, and excellent food. Portions are generous. Highly recommended.

A nice dinner. We were seated in the garden space in the back. I love sitting outdoors at restaurants. We enjoyed the ceviche mixto. I ordered tacu tacu skirt steak--the steak was a bit more cooked than the medium I ordered, but still good. The rice was yummy with the bit of crispy-cracked-ness. Friendly team working there. Thank you!

Great authentic Peruvian food! The only reason I am not giving this place 5 stars is because they are a bit unorganized in the seating since the place is so packed. Also, expect to wait 25+minutes for your food. However, it is well worth the wait!

We sat outside in the back because it had cute artwork and colored light bulbs. The sangria was amazing. The food did take a while to prepare but it was worth the wait. I would return.

Decent place to grab a bite to eat. Cute cozy atmosphere and friendly wait staff. Pricing is reasonable. They have many options when it comes to the menu. The drink menu is cute and has a wide variety. Due to covid a reservation would be a good idea. They have reasonable seat spacing in the restaurant. There is no outdoor dining available.

Tasty --Peruvian-- restaurant in Williamsburg. The food here is not particularly cheap but they serve big portions. Very busy in the weekends. The restaurant doesn't take reservations. Customer service is so-so due in part to the high volume of costumers. Ceviches are A+ here.

Great service. Below average Peruvian food. The ceviche was bland and overcooked, fish was of doubtful quality. No balance whatsoever between acidity and salt Arroz chaufa lacked flavor as well Lomo Saltado had too much vinegar, no complexity I hope this isn’t standard for Peruvian food in NYC

For starters the area is very difficult to find parking so I suggest using public transportation or get there with enough time to look for parking. It’s a very busy and fun looking area. The service at the restaurant was at most 2 stars. Our water never smiled and the food literally took an hour to come out. The ceviche was pretty good but the portion is more of an appetizer portion. The green spaghettis and steak were ok; the noodles were a little dry. We ordered cows heart and it was very rubbery and under cooked. I gave it 2 stars because of the ambiance. Beautiful outdoor dining and very small town homie feel. Will probably not go back.

Update - i went in yesterday and waited over 1 hour for my food and i was NOT happy at all with the quality or the service i received . The rice was beyond salty and the fish was super soggy . Last time was way better . Im not sure if they switched cooks but this is not the chimu i ate last month .
