The food is good... the problem was this cashier woman who was disrespectful and so offensive... I went to buy 3 times in that day, spending a regular amount of money in my orders... and everytime she tried to look as if she is doing a favor to the customers... when we are the ones who make possible this business continue working... always saying inappropriate comments... I don't know her name... but there should be a manager or the owner who teach and train this person how to treat the customers... the only thing I remember it was the only woman who wear eyeglasses, so if you jave to I teach with this disgusting person, be prepared

The food was flavorful, fresh and sizable portions. From our drinks, appetizers and meal, everything was perfect. The drinks were so good. I went and stopped at the liquor store to recreate them. The service was good.

No longer good food or service don’t waste your time coming to this place
I have been to both to this location as well as other one. I went with Pollo a la Brasa, Lomo Saltado, Jalea Mixta, Maduros, and Arroz Amarillo and Frijoles. All were very good. Rosy was very nice and I would recommend this place to others for delicious Peruvian and Portuguese food.

I ordered the codfish with tomato sauce, and honestly, I didn’t like it the flavor was just off. My cousin had the shrimp al ajillo, and she really enjoyed hers, so maybe it just depends on what you order. The girls working there were absolutely lovely and super kind, but overall, my own dish wasn’t great, and I personally wouldn’t go back.

Service is hit or miss. The food here used to be good but has declined in quality over the years. The interior is drab and outdated. However the drinks are good.

Good food. Good service. Ample street parking. Wheelchair available. Good prices. Really gotta look good for this place from outside since name can't barely be seen due to color.

Food was top notch, coffee excellent. Service was a little slow and forgot my flan. Overall, I will be going back again.

I went to order on the phone a single dish, that if you order is 22 online, with a 2 dollar service charge and 1.76 in tax which is 25.76, I only know this because when I called in they said it was 27 and that seemed high so I checked as I was on the phone and even asked why the difference no reason was given but I was told they were too busy all of the sudden. I have eaten here many times and the food was great but this is super dishonest be careful.
Yesterday, July 4, 2025, is good. Customer service it ridiculous. You order shrimp cocktail, and they serve it with Mayo/Ketchup sauce, 🤣 really? And when you don't twant it because it should be served with Cocktain Sauce, they suggested i must take it home and pay for it when I didn't even touch it. Paid for the good Sangria the good stuff clams and walked out. Canceled my paella I had ordered. Will return when they buy cocktail sauce to be served with the shrimp cocktail as an appetizer.
