Amazing food! I had the shredded chicken paired with the white wine sangria . Would definitely go back to try something else

Miriam Wolk

They only have one vegetarian entree, but it's a good one! Well seasoned chickpeas with rice . Lacto-ovo vegetarians can also enjoy the avocado and hearts of palm salad .

Tania Rion

Food is delicious, and the staff is amazing. It is a small place and it is crowded at lunch time, but it is completely worth it.

Allyson Neville-Morgan

Get the lomo saltado (the "especial" version if you can). My husband and I each get an order every time we go. It's too good to share!

Karl Berger

Excellent Peruvian food . Great service. Lomo saltado is the best I have ever had.

Hunter Miller

Go on Saturday. Carlos will serenade you with love songs while your date falls helplessly for you. Foolproof. Food bangs, too.

Excelente el cabrito norteño y el ceviche , los precios muy buenos para la zona. Volveré a probar el arroz con camarón y el arroz saltado que se veían buenísimos

Lomo salteado y pisco sour

Carlos Aguilar

Pésimo, pésimo servicio. No te ofrecen de beber cuando acabas tu bebida. No recogen los platos que ya no ocupas y tardan horas en servir tu orden ????
