I was graced into this establishment with the utmost comfort feeling. I am not Peruvian in any way but I am a Connoisseur when it come down to it. We were brought chips and dip, when I tell you this is the best chip and dip that has ever graced my tastebuds with such a strong presence. Now the beautiful waiter her name is started with a d, she is an absolute Angel, she explained everything to us and made sure we were comfortable. Now for the start of the show THE RICE, the rice will… I don’t even have words, it will kill you because it that good send you to heaven and come back down to take another bite. I thank god a luck for finding this hidden gem. I will be back that for sure. If you want to try something new I strongly urge you TRY THISSSSSS it will not disappoint. May god bless this restaurant and it’s workers-Trinny M

I have been eating here for years, it is a good reminder of my 6 years in Peru. Food is not like what I used to eat in Peru but it is an excellent “approximation”. I had fish with carpers, always very good. And my Peruvian friend had a ceviche, very fresh and tasteful according to him. I will always return…

Delicious hidden gem. We had seafood dishes and asked if we could buy the salsa they serve with chips because it is outstanding . Everything was great. Service was excelling, portion sizes are large and desserts are also fabulous.

What an amazing experience! The food was absolutely delicious. It was authentic Peruvian. I had never had such an amazing ceviche in my life! We also had the fried calamari and it was out of this world. The plates are very generous and the service was outstanding. Out waitress was extremely kind and took great care of us.

Visited yesterday for lunch. We ordered an espresso that was cold. The two dishes we ordered, Pescado a lo Macho and Pollo Saltado, both were tasteless, the chicken was rubbery and the whole meal tasted straight from the microwave. The seafood smelled like sewer. I do not recommend this restaurant.

I’ve been here several times and never had a complaint. Food is very good as well as service. Parking could be a challenge but it worth the wait.
