I discovered this spot after seeing it on Samantha Brown’s show and knew I had to try it, especially since she raved about the octopus. I’m a huge octopus fan myself, and it did not disappoint! I also ordered the Mar y Tierra, which was a delightful journey of different flavors. If you’re looking to discover new dishes with a sophisticated gourmet touch, this is absolutely the place to be.

Excellent service. Interesting layered flavors. Nice representation of dishes from Perú. I appreciate that it seems they got that very good red pepper Aji Limo for the ceviche. Good detail.

Went here for a date night and we were both blown away. I had the lamb shank special and my lady had the grouper. We wore socks, but they were quickly knocked off. 5 out of 5 stars. We will absolutely return!

Absolutely incredible experience here. We booked here on a whim as we were visiting and it didn’t disappoint to say the least. Our server was amazing and came here for an anniversary and they absolutely killed it. They helped out with all small requests and made the night so much better than imagined. Food was exquisite also to say the very least, 100% recommend. Every bite was phenomenal. seriously not one negative comment I can think of about the experience… would recommend to literally everyone.

A must-go if you are visiting (or even live close).
The mushroom appetizer was one of the best I’ve had.
The surf and turf entree offered some of the best steak flavor I’ve ever had.
I know I said best ever a few times but this was a superb meal.
If we lived in the area, we’d be back for frequently.

My husband and I love trying new food so when I found a Peruvian restaurant I was so excited to get a reservation!!
The restaurant is clean and intimate. We were sat right away when we arrived. Kendall was our server and she took the time to answer all our questions and provided great recommendations. I’m 7 months pregnant and making a decision about food is almost impossible lol we started off with the Pulpo and Hongos Bachiche. Amazing for both! As someone who always orders the octopus I was blown away by the flavor and texture. The thinly sliced octopus melted in your mouth! And for the mushrooms my husband has now requested I learn how to make that exact dish because he can’t live without it!
We then split a small salad. The vegetables were so fresh and paired well with the dressing. For our mains my husband got the Arroz Con Mariscos and I got Mar y Tierra. My husband’s dish was wonderful and fresh but so not miss out on the surf and turf!!! The flavor of the steak was amazing and paired so well with the onions, tomatoes and pasta. And the shrimp were cooked to perfection. The only thing I’m sad about is that we didn’t order 3 dishes because I would love to try the Patarashca. (I guess we’ll need to come back!!)
We didn’t get dessert because the baby wanted a milkshake and I’m really regretting that decision!!
This restaurant is a must visit!! I will be recommending it to everyone and anyone! Thank you for great service, atmosphere and food on our baby moon!

Awesome meal, period! Visited twice now, and the food quality is consistent and exceptional. Pricey meal, but I don’t mind so much when the care and quality shows in the meal. Would recommend to anyone who wants to splurge. Oh, and they are a gluten-free friendly restaurant, knowledgeable and willing to accommodate.
Amazing Peruvian experience. The flavors are incredible.

Wonderful evening of unique and delicious food. Quaint restaurant with attention to detail. The Mar Y Tierra hanger steak was tender and delicious. I usually stay away from hanger steak because it can be tough, but that was not the case here. The tagliatelle pasta was so delicate. Husband had the lamb chops which both the presentation and flavor were spectacular. We had a mushroom appetizer which was so good I could have eaten it all night long. A great night and a must stop.

If you are looking for delightful Peruvian cuisine, this is definitely the spot to visit in St. Augustine. As a foodie who has dined in over 55 countries, this restaurant has truly elevated Peruvian cuisine. It was a delight to meet the chef during our encounter. Unfortunately, the hostess was off-putting upon our arrival to the restaurant and was not at all accommodating or welcoming. Please be mindful that they will not adjust your reservation even if there are available tables inside. You will eat at exactly the time of your reservation and not a second earlier. Also, our waiter never introduced himself but this was offset by how frequently he checked on our group during our meal. Overall, because of the high quality of the food, our group was able to overlook the poor service. The lamb was excellently prepared and the ceviche was fresh with delightful spicy notes. We appreciated the complimentary palette cleansers in the tiny bronze mugs: these fine touches really curated our experience. I look forward to dining here again: with the hopes that the service will improve and shine as greatly as the food being served.
