Truly a hidden gem. The chef and his wife go above and beyond to create a welcoming and memorable culinary experience for diners. I recently organized a work team lunch and arrived to the location as it was just opening. We had the establishment to ourselves and the attention and care paid to each dish was superb! The appetizers and main dishes were full of flavor and artistry. My only lament was that they were short on Agua de maracuya or ensalada de fruta to drink. Delicious...

Friendly owner/ chef. Calling ahead is advised. Variety of Peruvian dishes. Some items might not be available and you can call to see if your favorite dish is still available.

Location is in an industrial area so make sure you know the address and follow your gps.

Quaint with a cozy and comfortable vibe but surprisingly seats many! The chef is passionate about his food and this food of Peru - he will describe (per your interest) the details of each dish and ingredients and how they prepare it traditionally.
