“Delicious food and great service We tried lomo saltado and ceviche mixto. For dessert we had arroz con leche and alfajor. Definitely recommended and be back again.”
“I thoroughly excited to find an AUTHENTIC Peruvian restaurant and enjoy my experience from the time I entered and left the establishment. When I entered, I can feel the nostalgic and history of Peru through the beautiful artwork and pictures. The place was crowded which is a good sign and atmosphere is extremely personable, and family orientated. I was greeted by the waitress offered excellent service throughout my experience and follow up by the owner who personally introduced himself. He was extremely personable and asked me if I knew what I wanted. I ordered a avocado salad and a chicken and cilantro rice for my entrees, and a Peru soda. He proceeded to educate me on the dishes, and relay the message verbatim to the waitress who was on her way to talk my order. I truly love how engage the owner is with the guest and working with the staff to assist in any possible way. This makes me feel appreciated and care for as if I was apart of the family dynamics. The avocado salad taste so good, fresh, and crisp. The chicken and cilantro rice came out stemming hot. The flavors were everything I needed and did not disappoint. I had enough food to bring left over home! Before I left, the waitress and owner made sure to personal greet me as I exited the establishment. I would come back here. The food was absolutely amazing, reasonable prices, clean establishment, exceptional customer service with a family oriented vibe. Love it!”
“I loved this place! The ceviche mixto was super fresh and full of flavor, and the chicha morada was so good — not too sweet, just perfect. The arroz chaufa de camarones was amazing, and the shrimp were cooked perfectly. I also tried the parihuela soup, and it was rich, tasty, and full of seafood. Great portions, friendly service, and cozy atmosphere. Totally recommend it! 🇵🇪”
