Dirty company. Have multiple different prices through out the place for the same item and then in the end they round up your total to charge you more. This company should be shut down and put out of business.

Great locally owned business. They were super friendly and patient with us (I had three little kids with me), and the food was awesome. Highly recommend.

Traveling through town, decided to stop and try Peruvian food. The two gentlemen who took my order and helped package it to go, were very nice and super helpful. The food was fantastic, including the Lomo Saltado, which was my introduction to Peruvian food. Definitely going to stop by again, next time I'm in Provo.

The best pupusas I've had in utah

I think the name is now Aji Peru. We went there on a whim for lunch after driving by it. The owner was super sweet and came and talked to us a few times and his staff was so nice as well. The food is AMAZING!!! They have food from Mexico, Peru, and El Salvador. Since we were just there for lunch, I got a tamale and pupusa, my husband got the Carne Asada tacos, and we shared a sweet tamale which we had never had before. It was all so delicious and I am upset that I didn’t take pictures of the food. You can tell it is made fresh with fresh ingredients. We’ll definitely come back to try the other food. They were people that were eating some of the Peruvian food and it looked delicious, but it was a lot of food and more than I could’ve eaten for lunch.

Best tamales in Provo. Fresh and made to order when I'm in Provo and in the mood, this is a go to. The sweet corn is fantastic

Just stopped at this place on my way back to salt lake. And the guy up front was really nice. Explaining some things. Even came out and showed me the difference in the hot sauce. I haven’t had one tamale this year and I was excited to finally get some. Really nice place. Delicious food. And nice people. Definitely give it a try (:

Small restaurant with legit Central American decor and feel. The pupusas with slaw were delightful and the horchata was good too. Staff was friendly and helpful. My only complaint was the pricing wasn't clear so we ended up spending a lot more on our meal than I had anticipated.

I have the breakfast meal, and my wife taquitos dorados.Let me just say that it was wonderful, delicius they take a little bit of time preparing your meals but believe me it was worth it and they do that because is fresh cook from scratch. So thank you very much it was great.

Wow. Easily some of the best and most authentic tamales I've ever had. The pupusas looked absolutely amazing too! I'm mexican and the food looked, smelled, and tasted exactly like it came out of my family's kitchen. The prices are reasonable and the flavors are absolutely perfect. The menu is also pretty big! They have Mexican, Salvadorian, and even Peruvian food! I'm looking forward to trying more! I'll probably get an order of tamales and just keep them in my fridge. I tried the red salsa pork and the green salsa chicken and both were great. I preferred the pork but its totally up to personal preference.Our waitress was very sweet and helpful and the owner came out and chatted with us for a little while. He was very friendly! Overall, the atmosphere is extremely casual and quaint. Its the perfect place to get a real taste of authentic latino cuisine. I cannot recommend this place enough. I would advise that service does take a little bit. Its about restaurant wait time, maybe 30 minutes. Food was fresh and totally worth it. Just be sure to make time and not be too in a rush.

The worst place to eat pupusas, the worst customer service in Provo. I left with no regrets! They dont deserve not even one star!
