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.
