“True peruvian here! Atmosphere here is amazing. They really did well with decorating the place and making it feel like a very high top restaurant. I have a few things to say that they could work on though. First, my family and I ordered the "Jalea", it was okay but normally a "jalea" dish comes with a side sauce such as peruvian tartar sauce. All we had with the jalea was an onion salad on top. The onion salad was not drench with enough lime juice making our jalea appetizer very dry, thats why i'm stating there's usually a sauce that comes with it. Second, the ceviche needs flavor. Either add more salt or aji-no-moto, piementa, comino etc. The ceviche is prepared and looks great it just lacks FLAVOR. This is my second time ordering the ceviche so I know whoever is making it, is not putting enough seasoning. ALSO, it will be nice if they offer "rocoto sauce" because some people like their ceviche spicy. Third, first time our picarones were made to perfection (s/o to our waitress Aubrey? not sure if I spelled that correctly), second time idk if they make the waitresses cook the picarones... but the second time our picarones were not even a circle and were WAY over cook that it crunched when I bit into it.
Overall, the arroz chaufa, causas, lomo/huanciana spagehtti, seafood dip/chips, and pisco sour drinks were great!!! I will give this place an overall rating of 7.5/10!“
