So far, this is the best Peruvian restaurant in San Francisco. Despite being Colombian, I love Peruvian food even more, and I’ve tried many places—this one is truly special and traditional. It might not be the fanciest spot, but if you want real, authentic, and amazing Peruvian food, it’s a must.
Huge portions of food, and the ceviche flavor was decent, but the yellow sauce on the mixed seafood dish was not very flavorful and all of the calimari and octopus was overcooked making everything annoyingly chewy and tough. The ambience inside the restaurant was very strange, like a strip club without strippers ..not a place I'd want to go back to unfortunately. Servers were very friendly and accommodating however.
The food is great! My wife was born and raised in Peru so is a tough critic on Peruvian food. She loved it so much. We went a second time the following day. We had the ceviche and loma saltado. Both work excellent. The maricua, lucuma and picaronea were authentic and delicious. I tried both the pisco sour and maricua sour. As everything else, top notch.
