Tries for first time after meeting friends for a pool game close by and this was a very nice, cozy and small Peruvian place. Loved the food and atmosphere. Ok we got various dishes, sweet plantains were great and my limo saltado excellent.

Passed the restaurant so many times. Finally decided to try and was pleasantly surprised. The vibe was casual, modern and comfortable. No loud music. Service was good. Staff offer sample of juice to try. Had the seafood ceviche and it was delicious with a little hot sauce on the side. The Tacu- Tacu came with pan fried rice and beans. It was delicious! Bistec had nice grilled flavor and wasn’t dry. Maduros were cooked to perfection- sweet, plump and not dry.
Overall, good food and good value. Highly recommend. I Enjoy supporting local businesses.

Ordered pollo a la brasa, but the chicken had no flavor at all and was quite small. They also don’t serve the pollo either the classic green or yellow sauce that they usually do. The salad was good, and so was the jugo de piña.

Chicken is good. But this place can never get my order right. We always have to check it in the parking lot before we leave and always have to go back in to get our missing items.

Incredibly good food. Very kind staff. Chill atmosphere. Been a neighborhood staple for my husband and I for 3 years now. Just be sure to double check your order if you ever get takeout here. Sometimes they forget a thing or two, but the food is so good they can almost do no wrong in my eyes.

I did a catering order for 10/11/25 , and they were on time and super nice during the delivery. The food and the portion were amazing. everyone at the party complimented the food and barely had any food left. I am also peruvian and I am picky w/ my food but I would for sure order again from here!!

We recently had the pleasure of having our event catered, and the food was nothing short of outstanding. Every dish was packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and exceeded our expectations. The staff was incredibly professional and attentive. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how delicious everything was. We’ll definitely be dining with them again very soon!

This is one of the best Peruvian restaurants I’ve been to. The food is very good. We had the seco combinado and the parihuela. It tasted like it was homemade. They have a home made hot sauce which we bought a bottle of as it was delicious. The service was very friendly and the ambience was nice and relaxing. I don’t usually write reviews but I felt this place really deserves one. The only downside is that it is a bit pricey but worth it.

Ordered chicken chaufa and it was more of a vegetarian one it had a very very very limited chicken and the chicken was cut into small pencil size eraser shapes never ordering from here again, this place has fallen off tremendously. Sauce was watery lacked substance. Shame.
