great quality food (ordered cow's heart appetizer , mixed seafood ceviche , and duck ) & good service (complimentary samples of ceviches wrapped in a wonton-like skin and fried)!
Give it a try. Inca Kola & Chicha Morada are two typical Peruvian drinks. If you don't like them you can always try a tropical juice , such as Mango Juice , Pineapple juice or the Passion Fruit Juice .
Are 2 people or more? Get the fried calamary , the palta , and the "anticuchos" and then share a wonderful lamb shank as a main course. Finish it with one of their delicious desserts !!! ;)
Save some room for a dessert . Get a couple of appetizers or just go for the main course, and then finish with any of our wonderful desserts . ;) Read more
This place is seriously absolutely AMAZING. Try their ceviche , yuccas con huancaina, calamarcitos, lomo saltado...and for desert the lucuma mousse and quinoa creme brûlée ...perfection!
Use any of the Rockville Town Square parking lots . We validate 2h. of your ticket. Furthermore, their parking-meters give an hour free, just press the button! ;) Read more
Did you know? We have a smaller plate of Ceviche . Try the Mini Ceviche version if you don't think you can with the regular one.

There's no real host gotta wait a little to be seated, other than that the food is amazing and pricey
Make a reservation - 30-45 minute waits on weeknights and Sunday. Good is delicious but the service slow.
Great place to go and grab some wine and share amazing appetizers . Had the Mariscos and it was great; Just like a paella , but not.
