Great food and flavor. Extensive drink menu and friendly service. It was a quiet evening. the appetizers are well worth it. If you are in the Cambridge/Somerville area worth a stop.
I’ve come here twice with friends (1x lunch and 1x dinner), and really enjoyed my food both times. The sauce with the lomo saltado is tasty and good for soaking the fries. I also tried the ceviche mixto (tilapia/halibut, calamari, shrimp) and liked the fish pieces the most since they soak up more of the flavor. Next time I want ceviche, I’ll get the ceviche de pescado instead.
The waitress was also great at noting which plates could be altered to account for my friend’s dairy allergen.

Delicious flavor and seasoning of the food. From the appetizers to the main course. The attention more than perfect. Of course I would return.

I was out for a walk and looked for a Peruvian restaurant
We ordered lomo saltado (onions, tomatoes, terrible, the meat looked like rubber), chicken water soup with noodles and a chicken wing) I would never go back

Although the service was very good and the space was quite nice, our meals were disappointing and overpriced. All four meals arrived at the table at room temperature, while the mussels that accompanied my husband’s and my rice and seafood dishes were cold. The rice was not fried, despite its description, had little flavor and the dish included very little seafood (3 small shrimp, 3 minuscule pieces of squid and the 2 mussels), making the price quite steep. In all, a disappointment.

Overall a great experience. The Appetizers: The Cancha (Andean Toasted Chulpe Corn) placed on the table at the beginning with a green sauce was a nice start. The Empanada was amazing. The Choclo (corn on the cob) had very little of) the aji amarillo sauce. The Entrees: The Bisteck a lo Pobre was tasty and could have used some type of sauce. The egg was a nice touch. The Ceviche Mixto was excellent. The server could have been a bit more attentive but there was other staff that we connected with to meet our needs. There was also great live music.
Great ambiance and quiet vibes on a Tuesday night. Salsa and bachata music playing in the background as my friends and I caught up with each other. We enjoyed the hot tea, appetizers, and especially the lomo saltado and arroz chaufa con mariscos. Our favorite was the passion fruit cheesecake. Will definitely return and would recommend to anyone visiting the Union Sq/ Somerville area.
Good food but expensive for what it was. Was over $50/person for 1 cocktail, 2 beers and 4 main course and 1 app. Portions were not large enough to justify cost

We had ceviche mixto, bisteck a lo pobre and rice pudding mixing both white and purple rice pudding. The rice pudding is quite sweet. The portions are good and ceviche is fresh. Taste of both dishes could have been better. We have had better Peruvian food. The atmosphere is good.

Good service and good food. I had a great dinner there.
The food was excellent! My friend suggested I try the Cerviche which I had never had before and it was so delicious. I will definitely be back to try all the other wonderful dishes!
Great experience here! The fried rice dish was particularly fantastic. Well worth a visit!
