This was exactly what we needed. The food was quite good. Although there was only one server when we dined in, he was very nice and generally responsive. For the price point, this was excellent.

I had the fried red snapper and my husband had the chicken masala. We were both very happy with the food. The tiramisu was also solid for dessert. The current 4.5 rating is well-deserved.
Service was polite and atmosphere pleasant. Our pasta dishes were ok but rather bland for the price. There was an automatic 20% surcharge for parties of 3 or more, which I wasn’t aware of initially. I get it when there’s a large group requiring an unusual amount of work, but 3 or 4 people? On top of that they gently noted we could leave an extra tip too. Happy to tip but I prefer to determine the amount myself, and not be charged automatically, then nudged for more on top.
I grew up with Peruvian food and have been spoiled by Miami’s amazing options, so I was excited to try this place. But let’s start with the fact that charging $9 for one normal-sized papa rellena is crazy. I get that it’s made with minced steak, but honestly, they might as well just use ground beef because there were several pieces of fat in it. At most, it should be $5—there’s nothing special about it to justify that price.

We got the steak arroz...
