One of the better Peruvian food places in Northern VA. The owners are Peruvian so they stay true to the cuisine and flavors, which makes all the difference. It's always busy with Peruvian customers, which is a good indicator of the food quality. Lastly, the ambience gives you a taste of Peru as the music being played is typical to what you'd hear in restaurants in Lima, thus, enhancing the experience.

Everything was delicious. My twin sister came to visit from out of Texas, and this is one of our favorite restaurants. We have been coming here for the past 21 years, and we always enjoy the food, service, and atmosphere.

You may have overlooked this Peruvian food gem located next to an Alexandria super market like I have for so long. Yeah, you may be the only gringo in the place enjoying this superb Peruvian food and atmosphere. No worries! People are so busy enjoying the family-type meal prepared just for them that they won’t notice you. Charcoal grilled chicken, Aji de Gallina, stuffed potatoes, fried yuca (mandío shyryru), and more.
