Pan con chicharrón was good. Arroz mixto not so much. Tres leches was hard as a brick. I’d still go back because my wife like her dish (lomo saltado)

The food was ok the meat was a bit overcooked. The server was more worried about hanging out with this one table than serving everyone there. I got charged double sales tax and I don’t know why.

This was a great lunch spot. And after dining I. I’m sure the night life here is amazing. Lots of big TV’s for futbol and great Peruvian food. Generous helpings and good price. I tried something other than chicken for once and was pleasently surprised. This fried pork was amazing. Can beat fat juicy pork bites fried up fresh. Yucca was a great side as well. Highly recommend the chicharones y yucca. Filled me up and had leftovers for dinner!

The food is very good but if I was to rate the service it would be zero stars. If you would like great service do not come here. Just lost one costumer.

Angelica Carrillo
The food, lomo saltado was not bad, but not great, the tallarines verdes was horrible. The service was absent from the beginning to the end. The ventilation system should be better, the whole place smells like soup and that’s not appealing when you open the door, the soup smells more than your own plate in front of you.

Ordered caldo de gallina and it was good. Make sure to see that tip/gratuity was already added to the check. Service was good. Not a fancy place but you get a lot of food.
