Recently got the mixed ceviche, lomo saltado, tamal, and the chicken dinner for delivery. While they weren’t the most affordable Peruvian food option in the area, they certainly had some great dishes worth trying. The mixed ceviche and lomo saltado were our favorites, and I especially liked the refreshing aftertaste of the ceviche. Tamal was also interesting, but a bit too heavy to be an appetizer. The roasted chicken was just okay, but fortunately, the sauces made them miles better. We also wanted to try the Inca kola and their specialty corn drink, but they were unfortunately stolen by our Grubhub driver. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable dinner overall.

This place is amazing! Love Peruvian barbecue and never thought I’d love it so much. Definitely need to get the mixed organ dish and the chicken dish. It was to die for and pretty good price. It is a bit slow in terms of waiting for the food especially when there are a lot of people waiting but the food is very much worth the wait!

Love coming here! I was recommended this restaurant a few years ago and haven’t stopped coming. I usually order a whole charcoal chicken for about $22. It’s like a combo meal and includes white rice and salad. I also order fried sweet plantain, fried casava (yuca) and fries for my girls. All for about $35. They also have 2 or 3 Peruvian beers and wines as well as different natural juices and shakes. Dessert is also good with creamy flan! The only con I can think of are the small tables that can barely fit all the plates but other than that, I highly recommend! MUST TRY THE GREEN SAUCE!!! LOVE IT!!!!

Highly recommended by a friend and always reluctant to go because it was such a hassle to find parking at Union Square. Finally had the opportunity to go and found a good parking spot. Highly recommend to go by public transportation or Lyft to save yourself some trouble.

The white chicken and large salad were a solid meal, and in total only about 12 bucks. The service was fast. The Peruvian salad dressings without cream were delicious and strongly flavored, out of which the green was pretty spicy.

Chicken was super juicy and flavorful and the fried yucca was crispy-outside-soft-inside perfection. Will definitely be back

We had dinner with a couple of friends on 9/21/2018. We ordered, empanadas, piqueo criollo, fried yuca, and charcoal marinated chicken with golden fries. The food was all great, specially the chicken: tender and flavourful. The problem was the bill… First of all, I simply don’t agree with the American tipping culture. Waiters should get paid what they deserve, which is way more than they get, without restaurant owners speculating on how much will they make out of tips. Well… I agree even less with the tip being included on the bill. And even worse, after tax is added. So basically I am forced not only to tip 18% of the bill to the waiter, but also pay him 18% of my tax on the food? Absolutely ridiculous. I was utterly disappointed with this. Even not agreeing with this culture, I know they don’t get fair wages, and the service was… average at least, so I would’ve left a tip, probably 15%. But being forced to do so, and over tax, is simply not acceptable for me. Unfortunately I will be searching for another good Peruvian restaurant.
