Ceviche mixto delicious!! Thanks!!
Service and food did not disappoint! The grilled fish dinner was out of this world. Not expensive at all. And they have good quality wine by the glass, which is important with food.

Small restaurant. Friendly service. Spanish speaking. Música criolla. Food was very flavorful. Rated a 4 bc I've only been here once. Will be coming back.
Good ceviche here and a lot of sea food options
Food was good, don’t judge the place by it looks. Prices were reasonable as well.
Great food but $17 for a pisco sour? Really my? If that's not excessive I'll change to five stars.

It’s a hit and miss at times when the owner is not there but the prices have gone high for the amount of food . I come here because it’s basically the only Peruvian food that seems authentic in the neighborhood.
Good food .... staff was great really attentive. Make you want to come back
Small place, not much ambiance, but food was delicious.
I had a dish with almost rare potatoes. I sent the meal back.
waiter service wasn't good
I waited over an hour for my food to be ready
Tasty food. Too expensive for the portion and I can tell they cut corners (more papa fritas than pollo in my pollo saltado).
Food had no flavor. Definitely not the best Peruvian food around. My lomo saltado barely had any beef and a lot of fries. Not ordering from here again.
Nothing special. And service ? She didn't do anything but bring the food that it wasn't much! And i was charged 53$ dollars for a plate that i could have made at home for less and last me three days . I do think the lady made up the price or that was to much to pay. Go to a buffet instead

For the price was expecting bigger portions and more flavorful food. Service left much to be desired...it was is if they were annoyed they had to seat us.1 young lady was helpful the one who served the food.The other one was on her phone the whole time and definitely not wanting to be there. Clean establishment..enjoyed the music 🎶
Food was so so. What really made the experience worse was the waiter had the nerve to jot down at the bottom of our bill, in small print mind you, $10 for his tip!! He really added $10 more to our entire bill just for him🤨When he returned to pick up the bill and saw the card, he started asking us if we had cash, that we SHOULD pay in cash, because it’s better!! Better for him so he can pull $10 out and into his pocket. I’ve never been to a restaurant where a server will automatically add on their tips to your bill in their hand writing, with small print as if we’re blind- let alone tell you how you “should” be paying. We weren’t the only ones he did this too. There was a family behind us finishing up just before us and this server was also asking them to pay in cash instead and to leave $10 extra- WTH!?? I hope the owners become aware of what that guy is doing at service. He absolutely should not be working there!

Can't comment on the food because it never arrived. I waited for 2 HOURS! called them and they never picked up my call.
Good service. But chicken (pollo ala brasa) uncooked and untastful.
There was hair on my food and the papa a la huancaina was too watery. The prices are too expensive for such a small place.
Food was not good at all and over priced. Not coming back!!
bad food bad service not to clean, won't recommended
Terrible service and too much salt in the food and fatty
Got charged 33$ for a 19$ plate… who knows why
I get it sick after go there
IHOP pancake house.
As a Peruvian this was basic stuff my mom made at home for a quarter of the cost and time. It was VERY basic things for 20 bucks. No water given. No sauce. Wouldn’t recommend.
Horrible/Rude service and food was lousy. Many other options to go too with your business. Wouldn’t recommend at all.
Very disappointed.. the maracuya drink very expensive and has not flavor. And food not good at all.
Food was terrible and chicken was literally raw please do yourself the favor and don’t eat here. Server didn’t offer anything else and charged us even tho we didn’t eat any of it.
Broiled chicken was over seasoned and overcooked, dried My CC was for #89,93 but the charged my CC $109 . Now have to deal with the claim
Food was ok. 2.5/5 Chicha morada was way too sweet. Prices were very high for the quality and servings compared to other places. Tip is fixed 18%, and service was eh. Definitely first and last time coming here, would not recommend to dine in, you can find something better for the price.
The chicken was absolutely disgusting.I was hoping to eat a nice dinner with my son and to our surprise the food was horrible it was raw and my sons dish the fries where from a fast food place and stale don’t let the restaurant fool you, it looks good but it’s one of the worst foods I’ve ever tasted and I love Peruvian food.After all this to get salad and beans cost 3$ extra worst place ever
Food was ok, the place was messy, and they include 20% tip in the bill without even asking, no wonder why I was the only costumer on a Saturday. Not coming back
Food and service were horrible to say the least. They charge you 20% gratuity automatically with a horrible service. Portion was so small compared to similar businesses around. Save yourself a bad experience
Not that great ! i order a salteado was awful, they just send me bunch of french fries and just a little bit of chicken and beef was nothing and the price is so expensive. BAD quality of food and super expensive !!! there is better places!!!
The food is bad, the service from the waitresses is terrible, and when you pay, they give you a different price without a receipt and add their own tip.
I was excited to find a Peruvian place close to me, but everything disappointed. Ordered the tallarines verdes with steak and everything was overcooked, the steak was paper thin and half of it was grizzle. And to top it off, they immediately charged tip.
Stopped in for a quick lunch since I always drive by this spot and as soon as I entered I had a feeling that this place wasn’t going to be great. The place was empty, looked dirty and messy. To make matters worse the waitress seemed bored, uninterested and witnessed her picking at her face (which is very unhygienic if you work in the service industry). The waitress charged us an automatic gratuity, which she is entitled to, but I draw the line for shitty service. When asked about the automatic gratuity, it just so happened that a gentlemen was also paying at the same time and wasn’t charged. She continued to say that “He didn’t consume as much, so he wasn’t charged 20%”. First time I hear about this for a party of two, or for an amount consumed. Anyways, save yourself from this establishment because service and food is below average.
