I'm from Peru and I was craving Peruvian food while in California. I found this place based on the reviews and decided to give it a try.

I ordered the seco con fréjoles, and it was honestly amazing just like in Perú, 10/10.
The lomo saltado, though, didn’t really taste like a traditional lomo saltado. It lacked that classic flavor, so I'd give it a 4/10.
For dessert, I had the picarones, but they were way too sweet and covered...

Very good Peruvian food. Seems more like a gourmet chef's take on Peruvian food more than authentic Peruvian food, but nonetheless it is very good. I would definitely come back and recommend this place to ask if my friend that are looking for a good Peruvian spot. The Lomo Saltado was really good. The steak was cooked and flavored perfectly.

Great place for group meet ups or just a solo meal. We went for happy hour which was great for trying various things. Although I prefer the dinner portions for the ceviche. The staff has always been very nice and patient when deciding what to order. I would skip the slider. It was good but there are other things on the menu to try.
