We sat at the counter and were able to watch the dishes being prepared. Very impressive presentation. Our waiter was very attentive, suggesting wine selections and answering questions about the dishes. The food was delicious! The seating area inside is small and intimate.

“A Taste of Peru That Feels Like Home 🇵🇪✨ From the very first bite, this restaurant transports you straight to the heart of Peru. The flavors are bold, authentic, and crafted with love by Peruvian hands that know how to honor tradition. Start with the ceviche, fresh, zesty, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of heat. Then the iconic lomo saltado, where juicy strips of beef are sautéed to perfection with onions, tomatoes, and that unmistakable touch of soy sauce and spices. The arroz chaufa is a savory fusion masterpiece, while the tallarines saltado brings a mouthwatering twist on stir-fry pasta that’s packed with flavor. Don’t miss the anticuchos, tender skewers of marinated beef heart that melt in your mouth, or the golden picarones, a sweet finish made with squash and sweet potato, drizzled in chancaca syrup. Pure Peruvian joy! To wash it all down, sip on a cold Inka Kola, a tangy glass of maracuyá (passion fruit) juice, or the deep, spiced flavors of chicha morada. Each drink is a memory, a story, a sip of home. And for a truly special treat, they’re bringing out the Pachamanca (tres sabores) this Father’s Day, a traditional Andean feast slow-cooked underground with marinated meats, herbs, and native potatoes. It’s more than a meal, it’s a celebration of culture, family, and roots. You will also appreciate the warm, attentive service from the owners and chefs. Whether you’re Peruvian or just discovering its rich culinary heritage, this place will have you coming back for more. ¡Buen provecho!“
