“Peruvian tv is on while amazing smells hit your senses. Suddenly a plate of lomo saltado hits your table. Its literally peak the fries are crispy and soft, the meat tender and flavorful. I had to break this part up because the fried rice actually made me ascend I dont know what they put in there, but I would believe the chef if he told me he had found gods personal seasoning cabinet. This mixed with their aji verde might as well have killed me and brought me to the gates of whatever afterlife exists. 10/5 stars”
“La comida, exquisita, muy rico, especialmente el arroz, chufa con pollo, el ceviche, magnífico y el anticuchos ni quiere hablar”

“Auténtico pollo a la brasa peruano, ricas cremas!! Las papas podrían estar mejor pero sin duda el mejor pollo de Chicago!! Volveré”
“I felt like I was back in Peru! Very authentic and delicious food!”
“¡Que Rico! Let me preface this by saying I lived in Peru for 2 years and I missed the food! I was so happy to be seated immediately and see the menu full of my favorites. You even get canchita (salted roasted corn kernels) to snack on before you order! The 1/4 chicken was perfect for me and filled the missing spot where Peruvian food should be in my life. The Lomo Saltado was a little different than what I’m used to and had a little less meat but still tasty. Definitely had to take some home! Fair prices too. PS: español is preferred here! 🙂”
