Their chicken is juicy and flavorful alone, and with the sauces, it’s the perfect combo of smoky char and creamy. Their rice was super flavorful and chewy. They definitely live up to their hype.

Someone’s grandma is cooking in the back. The best empanadas ever, the pollo brasado is absolute comfort food. The staff are always so nice and it really feels like you’re eating in someone’s home. I’ve been coming here for 7 years now and it’s alwayyyyyys been good. 100/10

The food was great while being affordable. I’ve never been to Peru or have tried other Peruvian restaurants, so I cannot say how authentic the food was, but everything we tried was amazing. I definitely need to go back and try some new dishes.

I fell in love with this place. The Empanada are out of this world! I eat here maybe once a week now. Arroz con Pollo and the green spaghetti are my favorite entrees SO far. I look forward to trying them all! Such a cute restraunt and everyone is so nice. This will be your new go to spot too!

We had a great experience overall at this Peruvian restaurant. The service was excellent, and once seated, the entire vibe was amazing—from the warm lighting to the music playing in the background.

I would recommend some improvement at the host stand, as we weren’t greeted properly or promptly when we arrived. It was a bit confusing at first until I noticed the sign instructing guests to wait to be seated.

Once we were seated, everything turned around. Our server, Franky, was attentive, welcoming, and patient, answering all of our questions since it was our first time dining here.

Now let’s talk about the food and drinks—delicious! We ordered Cusqueña Peruvian beer and a Maracuyá Margarita, both were refreshing and flavorful. For food, we had Papa a la Diabla, Tallarín Verde con Pollo a la Parrilla, the kids’ Salchipapas, and for our starter, the Ceviche de Pescado. All I can say is—we were not disappointed at all.

My chicken was slightly salty for my personal taste, but my partner really enjoyed it. The meat was cooked to perfection, medium, just the way it should be.

Overall, a great dining experience with excellent service and delicious food. We’ll definitely be back!

(Sorry for the one picture but I didn’t have enough storage to take more pictures! lol)

I wanted to try out the pollo a la brasa as it's a peruvian staple.

They took a total an hour and a half to finally complete my order but by that time I already canceled the order and got me something else.

So, if you are ordering delivery beware that your food may take awhile and possibly arrive cold.

This restaurant is known for the Peruvian Style Pollo a la Brasa, sadly every time I give it another try, it disappoints me more and more, I have been ordering pollo a la brasa to go during weekdays and hasn’t been fresh (cook the same day) 😖 last time I ordered a whole chicken the thighs were cold like it has been reheated 🤮 and the salad was so disgusting. I’m not ordering from this place anymore!

I really enjoyed the restaurant- good variety and excellent service. The only thing that bothered me was that they use styrofoam for the takeaway boxes.
