Friendly family restaurant with delicious food, and friendly staff. We ordered the recommended meals by other reviews - the steak with rice+fries, the chicken skewer with 2 sides (the green beans and fried plantains were amazing), and the Canastas burger.

Everything was delicious and the portion is good for 4 people. It makes me want to try everything else that we didn’t order. We highly recommend this place and we will definitely go back for more.

A fast food type of operation. The chicken is roasted and seasoned to perfection. You have a choice of various sides. My friend and I had the fried Plantains and fried rice. The Plantains were fried nicely, and the rice was cooked well. My friend chose a Mango drink for her beverage and she really enjoyed it. This will be a regular in our rotation.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible parking is not by the door but several door downs.

Was expecting food to be way better
Celery chicken was worst then KFC
Over salted flooding in mayo sauce and was hard .beef was better but nothing to be 5 stars and seafood soup was large but locking imagination not to Peruvian standards for 20$.
3 guys were working hard but had to wait 40 min for mine appetizers.
Meanwhile about 7 people got their food to go that didn't order it prior.
I have to honest there maybe other orders...
