Reviews

We visited a Peruvian restaurant for the first time and received a warm welcome.
They could tell we were new, so they took extra care of us.
Since most of the staff spoke Spanish, we had someone who spoke English help us with our orders.
They recommended the Peruvian drink Chicha Morada, which we loved and ordered.
For starters, we tried Tamales and Choros a la chalaca (Mussels).
The tamales were cooked perfectly, and even though it was our first time trying mussels, we enjoyed them, they get all the taste from toppings of onion, tomato, and lemon.
Not easy for first timers to savor the raw taste and look of mussels.
After seeing good reviews, we decided to try the Ceviche De Pescado.
It turned out to be marinated seafood, not cooked, but surprisingly, we enjoyed its unique citrusy flavor.
It was well-prepared, and we were glad we tried something new that didn't disappoint.
Overall, we had a great experience and highly recommend trying Peruvian specialties.

I knew this place would be good when I saw the wait.
Sooo worth it.
We got the ceviche de pescado and lomo saltado and it was..
chefs kiss 😘🤌🏼 they did not disappoint.
The service was great.

There’s a reason this place is slow and has a 3.7.
The owner is rude.
No customers and is yelling at everyone they can’t park in the parking lot.
Eve though it may say parking for his restaurant still you have no customers, ever.
The restaurant looks shady and will never eat there now.
