Cooking with Yeya
Great Peruivan spot! Tasted good and a lot of it lol we ordered for take out. They made sure we had utensils and napkins. They also gave us a spicy green sauce w our order! Super happy with this place.

He abused his worker Oscar. He never paid one cent for his cremation. I believe he had something to do with his death because the owner was extremely jealous of Oscar. He was a Mexican who worked over 40 hours. The owner should of paid for his cremation. I suppose he feels guilty but God will punish him one day. He wife washes her feet in the pail where they put the chicken before they need to cook it.

Ive been going to this place for years! I have to say there food was good. I usually always got lomo but this time my lomo came with hard rice, no flavor and chewy chicken. I would give it a 0 but im feeling generous, there pollo la brasa and aji are okay.

Great food! Especially the beef & chicken chauffa mix and you can also get it with shrimp. The green sauce that comes with it excellent very delicious and don’t forget salad on the side with that dish

Love the food always fresh and tasty. Price is reasonable and the chicha morada is the best. 4 stars because they do not offer direct delivery I believe they do doordash and stuff like that.

Been going here for years food used to be great. Not sure what happened, new chef???? Ordered Jalea to go and half of the container had fried greasy crumbs at the bottom, yuck. Yuca had a funky taste to it like it went bad or something. Never ever experienced that after decades of eating Peruvian food. Never going there again unfortunately

If I can would give it a zero star beside the food not having no flavor we found hair in three of our orders after spending $100 on food thier we had to order from a different restaurant will definitely not be going back i do not mind prices but they are over priced for the quality of food they serve. I had the fried mixed seafood and all I got was fried dried hard not enabled calamari only.This place gives a bad representation to Peruvian Food.
