I took my friends there for the first time we ordered the pernil, shrimp, and garlic, Churrasco, empanadas, and the deconstructive nachos. Everything was excellent. It's a BYOB and it's reasonably priced. I will go again.

The food was good. The pork chops were not tender and a beef dish was more Asian than Peruvian/Mexican. A Peruvian member of our party told them it was not authentic and they replied “This is how we make it.” Fair enough. It was still tasty, just not the dish we expected. Our server was efficient and polite but not warm.

Very good food! Mine was a bit on the salty side but still very good. Really liked the braised ox tail. A bit pricy but understandable. Would like to return.

We were a party of 6. Everyone was happy with their dishes they ordered. I loved my trifongo with garlic shrimp. It was heavenly.

What an incredible meal!!! We came here for my daughter's 16th birthday dinner. We live in NY, and were in the area, and chose this restaurant based on reviews I had seen. The reviews were more than correct. The food was absolutely delicious. All 6 of us were beyond impressed and everyone loved their dishes. They did some really personal and nice extras for the birthday girl which were so appreciated. We know we will come back-even from Long Island- because the food was just that good!!! We can't imagine not coming back to eat there again. Excellent service, great value, incredible food. What more is there to say!!!

Empanadas were delicious and the varieties were great! Pernil was probably the best I've ever had. Will definitely be back!

Don’t waste your time, we made a reservation a day before, we arrived on time and they told us that the table was occupied. The place didn’t look clean

Went here for mother's day for the first time...place is small but had a real good time. Salsa music was playing and the food was great with amazing flavors. We were a party of 5 so made reservations and got seated quick. The empanadas were also on point. The spot is BYOB so bring a bottle to enjoy.
