“From the first course to the last our server was extremely attentive and helped us navigate the menu. We had the 8 course tasting menu and honestly, I couldn’t find a single dish to say anything but amazing things about. After dinner we got a brief tour of the private dining area and back of house, shook hands with the executive chef and got to thank him for helping curate such a special birthday dinner for my partner and myself. It truly was a journey through coastal Mexico with every bite and the staff was incredibly kind. If you have an opportunity to experience this place, you should absolutely book the reservation! The chef’s and staff here earned their star for great reason!“

“The best Peruvian restaurant in Encinitas.
Convenient location near the beach and library. Be sure to ask about daily specials. Indoor and outdoor seating. Great selection of cocktails and non alcoholic beverages. Remember Peruvian food is much more than Ceviche, this place represents it well. It says South American food, but it is 95% Peruvian. Don't miss it.“
