5/5 stars and a little slice of Peru in the neighborhood. Friendly staff, beautiful set-up and delicious food. I got the arroz chaufa and a smoothie. Ingredients were fresh and so tasty! I will be coming back to try the lomo saltado and more. Viva Peru! ??Dietary restrictions: I asked the smoothie be dairy free

Please read this review. This is a very small family run restaurant. I am not saying it's a five star luxurious restaurant. What I'm saying is that the food is superb. Every dish is full of unique flavors. The ceviche gets a 10 or of 10. The best I've had done I was in Peru. If you want to have an extremely flavorful meal at great prices, please go here. You will not regret it and try the lucuma ice cream.

I passed by the Restaurant many times and they were always willing to listen to my orders to take home the very good service. I know that there is always something to improve but that is what it is about to acquire excellence, it is my simple experience and personal opinion.

I am Peruvian, the chicken broth is not the chicken broth, they give you shredded chicken and the ceviche is not the ceviche of Peru, I'm sorry, Peruvian food is delicious and here they don't do it like in my Peru. Sorry but they should change the cook, they would have to hire a

I Travel a lot and always look for my native Peruvian cuisine. This trip I ended up close to patterson, nj aka lil peru. Maybe my taste buds were spoiled all week from the great flavors. On my way back to southern VA, I stopped here due to the reviews and rating. The atmosphere give the total peruvian vibe. It is a smaller location intimate location. The staff was very friendly and attentive. I order a papa rellena and a ceviche. The papa rellena was a hit soft and flavorful. The ceviche de pescado on the other hand was a bit off. The leche de tigre had a weird taste i couldnt pinpoint. The server was so generous to allow me to switch my plate free of charge. I ended up choosing the lomo saltado. It did not crack my top ten but the dish was put together well and it had flavor. This is great place to bring a small family and have a good time. They do have an extensive menu that covers most of the popular peruvian dishes. The staff makes this place a solid 4.5 the food preparation brings the score down slightly.

Very nice restaurant with a touch of “home made” Peruvian flavor. It’s always good to eat there, the staff are really friendly and attentive. The food is delicious and tastes fresh. I normally go on hours that they serve “lunch specials” and it comes with soup ( I think there like 2 or 3 options, but I always get the beef soup because it’s out of this world !!! ), a soft drink which I never choose, I like to order Peruvian beer, normally cusqueña but now they serve Pilsen callao, and then the main dish which has options like: mondonguito a la italiana, aji de gallina, seco de res, Guiso de pollo con pallares, and others.They normally are very accommodating if you request to watch a soccer game, or anything in particular I guess. All the times I’ve been there they gladly help to look for the channel and stream it for you, very cool touch of customer service.The place is clean and well organized, the waiting time to get seated when I go is less than a minute, it’s not a big place but they have a couple of tables outside for outdoor seating if weather is nice. The bathroom are always clean and always stocked with the supplies.They have an old school video game there for kids, my kids like to play there when we go.There are 3 flat screen TV’s, they are a good size for the place, not too big not too small.They also sell Peruvian empanadas, alfajores, dulce de leche and some goodies like chocolate from Peru or candies.In the front you will see merchandise like Peruvian jersey, very delicious bottles of wine, and Peruvian things to decorate your house.There’s always parking in front of the restaurant, that is not a problem, always open spaces near the entrance.The cons I would say is the drinks, chicha morada doesn’t really have the natural taste and we don’t really like it, the maracuyá has also a non natural taste that for us is not very of our like. But maybe you might like it, it depend.Overall, is a great place to eat and buy some goodies for the family. I would recommend this place to anyone that likes Peruvian food.

I had a very nice lunch here, the dishes and flavors are very authentic, and the atmosphere is friendly. I never would’ve found this place without Google because their sign on the shopping center marquee just says ’Hot and Cold.’ I had a Ceviche Mixto, and a Lomo Saltado; and some house-made Chicha Morada to drink. I recommend all three of these dishes, because they were well balanced and authentic in flavor. The server was very nice, bubbly and friendly. She told me that they have over 70 Peruvian dishes available on the menu. The only thing I would change about the place would be perhaps adding to the name, to make it more clear what type of restaurant they are.
Really good ceviche mixto and lomo saltado. The food took forever to come out but it was worth it

Stopped in for a late lunch after a morning/afternoon in DC. Great little restaurant with delicious food across a range of styles. Plenty of standard deli fare like clubs and Philly steaks but also some wonderful Peruvian dishes. A great compromise stop for groups with both picky eaters and folks who want to try something new.I had the Aji de Gallina and it was fantastic. A tasty cream and chili sauce (lots of flavor but not much heat) served over shredded chicken and potato. A very satisfying lunch at a reasonable price. Be sure to go check them out!

The food and everything was decent, BUT when the check came, we saw this “automatic gratuity” thing. This is my first and last visit. The food wasn’t anything special and they charging 15% tip automatically.

This was my first and last visit.I wanted Peruvian, similiar to a place I discovered in Stafford, but could find any pIace like it. After desparately looking for something decent to eat, I settled for this place.I chose something simple. I will not be spending $20 or more for a meal anymore not knowing whether or not I will like it as I have done recently and did not like the food. Unfortunately, I was terribly disappointed. The food did not even look appetizing. ?The yuca fries smelled greasy, left grease all over my fingers and taste greasy. Just because something is fried does not mean that it should smell or taste greasy. ?The Philly chicken sandwich was also very disappointing. Not only was the bread hard from being overcooked, it was burnt, which I did not notice until I turned the sandwich toward me. ? I do not understand how you burn the bread. ☹
