Food is tasty and fresh. The menu is confusing, you never know what to choose. Ask your waiter for advice. I recommend the raw marinated tuna, like poke, and the stuffed avocado.

Food was good and fresh but the choices on the day when we came were limited. We mainly had appetizers and salads. The service was alright but the chef does not allow for mix and match when it comes to empanadas. Our family does not eat beef and we would have like to have the the other 3 for variety. So we requested to replace the beef one by chicken or a corn empanada. And they said the chef does not allow that which to me in Bay Area is very restrictive given that people have dietary restrictions and cultural preferences. The food arrived very quickly as soon and our table quickly got cluttered with so many serving dishes that there was barely any opportunity for us to even keep our small plates and the server did not offer to help out with the logistics even though all the nearby tables were empty. In any case, the taste of all the things was good especially our salads and empanadas. The fried chicken and prawns were fairly bland inside but the batter was crispy and nice . The restaurant was fairly empty on a Sunday evening and yet the service felt a bit rushed. Polite but rushed.

Delicious food. Strongly recommend the Pulpo (octopus). It’s outstanding.

Short ribs were delicious! The octopus was good. Pisco Sours were good but very small. I was in Peru recently and it was nice to have some of our faves. Just expensive.

Showed up for a late lunch and though they were at that 4-5 time when they'd usually close, they kept it open and served us a wonderful Peruvian meal!
