My family and I like Peruvian food and since we just arrived to Kentucky we are looking for it. This was our first visit to a Peruvian restaurant. We are happy to have found a place with good food and the service was great, Karen our waitress was very kind and performed a great service. We will definitely be back.

August 2025

We got the pescado a lo macho and the lomo saltado. Excellent texture and flavor! The fish was prepared with a variety of other seafood. The sauce was very smooth and rich . The fish was fried perfectly. It was cut so it was easy to pull apart. The beef was also perfectly seasoned and cooked. Both were prepared a lo pobre, so they were very satisfying meals!
We also got the sampler appetizer that came with fried plantains, fried yucca, and sweet potato fries. Forgot to...

July 2025

Excellent food! We ordered three dishes: ceviche, paella, and stir fry beef. We all shared and everyone thought each dish was delicious. We also shared an order of yuca fries which were also great. I can’t wait to go back! The only negative was the metal chairs are uncomfortable.
