Awesome Peruvian food
Amazing food, great service. As Peruvians this is my families best spot to hit in town.
This place has a casual appearance upon entry, but once you get a warm welcome from their staff, the rest of the dining experience will be anything but casual.
We (3) tried out their Ceviche (with deep fried seafood on top), Beef heart and Seafood Paella.
The food was absolutely delicious and well presented.
Beef hearts were well marinated and cooked to be tender. Paella tasted delicious, but it was different from the traditional Spanish Paella.
The Ceviche was definitely the star of the show for us.
BTW, we really liked the glass mugs that they used for water.😋
Best peruvian food ive ever had, I come here at least twice a month for their Pescado a la Chevillana (yellow chili fried white fish) and love it every time.
Their lomo saldato and Pescado a la plancha are great and refreshing too, as is their paella

We walked in with no expectations and no experience in Peruvian food. We got ceviche and the chefs special and a tamale. We walked out with full tummies and a leftover box that got demolished later that night. The waiter was super kind and patient, our food came out hot fresh and spiced to heaven and back. We tried the cool juice flavors on the menu for fun they were nice. The ceviche is very different and such an experience, def get if you’re open to new experiences. The chef special pictured below was SOOO GOOD. Tasted and felt like a family member made it. Worth the tiny parking lot wait.

The food was tasteless. The green noodles were watery because the cream was half white. Milk was visible on the plate. Nothing happened with the lomo saltado. I wouldn't go again.

Terrible service, I called to order, I arrived at the restaurant and the order had not even been passed to the kitchen. The staff is not trained, lack of experience, I would have understood that they would have had customers eating in the restaurant but there were just 2 tables occupied.

These guys are from Chiclayo, the North of Peru, and the flavors are spot on! The ceviche was great in flavor, portion size and presentation. So good to have real Peruvian flavors in the Bay Area. Will return :)

Great value and good portion of food! The chef's special seafood paella was very delicious and flavorful, with lot of seafood and only $25. Deep fried fish, calamari, and cassava is the second dish I'd recommend, good portion and the onions were even also seasoned! Seafood soup was pretty good and the soup broth was not too salty. The lamb dish and the beef heart skewers were fine, but might have a bit of strong smell if you are sensitive to that. Ceviche was pretty standard. Overall very good value and nice flavor!

A place I didn't know! The food was very pleasant and had a Peruvian flavor quite close to the typical food of a traditional Peruvian house. The atmosphere at noon was great, the service was very fast, friendly and the food was at the right temperature. I liked it!
