Don’t have too much experience tasting Peruvian cuisine. But I gotta say this place is amazing, the service was excellent and the food so tasty! The skirt steak with the shrimps was a boom! Definitely coming back. Thanks Emily and her coworker for the attention. It was a nice experience.

We were pleasantly surprised with this restaurant… the portions were sizable and the skirt steak had tons of flavor— but not salty. The cheese and guava dough rolls were light and the dough had a hint of sweetness. I was happy they accommodated vegetarian food restrictions— replacing the beef with more plantains. Definitely coming back for more!

BEST PLACE EVER! 😻 literally I’ve been here thousands of times. Sometimes I order the same but everything here is sooo delicious, service is good, food sensational. I love chaulafan and chaufa de pollo . I’ve brought everyone I know here. Prices are reasonable and amount of food is good as well. GO THERE! 🫶🏻

Great food and excellent options. Overall the portions were rich and enjoyed the sauces and the authentic flavors. I will be going back, however one of the waitress clearly lacks empathy and i domt think she likes her job. Was sort and a bit rude

We had a solid experience but encountered a long wait time for our entrees (over an hour) on a Sunday afternoon. The drinks were delicious and refreshing but the food could use some minor improvements. For instance, the sauce on my carne marinada was on the salty side, the side salad had small pools of water, and my partner’s steak was unevenly cooked. This restaurant definitely has a few hits but needs time to figure out their staffing and flow.
