Food wise, they made a very good first impression. It was plate licking good. Really enjoyed their lamb! Only minor issues was I think they were cleaning their kitchen or something because the smell of lysol was very strong. Think it was because I came towards the end of the night.

Food: this is my very first time trying Peruvian dishes. They are very delicious! The flavors they use make me feel like a mix of Asian and Mexican and Spanish ingredients. Very flavorful and tasty! I’d recommend order different types of protein and carbs to try all of them but my personal favorite is the seafood noodles.Service: the staff were super nice and warm to recommend some of their signature dishes. They are also very patient as well.Ambiance: the time we visit it was not too busy and I feel pity for people who don’t know here! It’s good for family and casual dating, and those who want to try new dishes!

Pretty simple location and vibe, but the food is really good and the sizes are pretty decent. The chef really seems to enjoy plating and bring presentation up a notch.The ceviche and grilled octopus are a must try, the chaufa is also really good!

Great example of the peruvian food.I ordered beef hearts (Anticuchos), ceviche mixto and chicha morada (Corn and cinnamon drink).Anticuchos (Beef Hearts) was a thinly sliced beef hearts with golden potatoes. The beef hearts were tender and cooked without being over cooked. The gravy they were covered in was very savory and flavored like most dark gravy.The star of the meal was the Ceviche Mixto. A large blend of seafood ceviche in white sauce with a brilliant accompaniment of vegetable. a quality ceviche with no fishy taste, or raw feel. It was absolutely everything you want from a ceviche. Light but filling.The chicha morara was an experience. I personally wasn't a huge fan of it as the mix of cinnamon and corn juice tasted like a poor mulled wine. However the waitress offered to mix the maracuya juice with it and it was absolutely saved.Would highly recommend for Peruvian, would definitely recommend for ceviche and raw foods.

Came for a lunch with a group and was greeted by the amicable owner and staff. Fantastic ambiance and space, quick service. All the food has great flavor, spices, authentic tastes of Peruvian cuisine (for example, yellow sauce). Lomo and rice were fantastic, well cooked and soft. Parking may be a bit hard to find but well worth it. The weekly ravioli special was also a good choice.

The food here is actually so good!! Highly recommend the arroz con mariscos which was my favorite. Good amount of seafood and deep flavor. Also a big portion. The lomo saltado was good too, the filet mignon was very tender and not dry. Love the combination with the onions. The ceviche trio was tasty as well if you like sour foods.Service was amazing, we enjoyed everything she recommended! Definitely come visit and get the arroz con mariscos!!! It's like a Peruvian paella, I was a huge fan.

We came to dinner as a group of 10 people, with a reservation. At first it was a bit frustrating to get the reservation, but having seen the space (there aren't a lot of tables), I understand the hesitation on the restaurant's end.We ordered ceviche as well as the food pictured in the photos, and everything was very good. I would 100% come here again, though maybe in a smaller group.

I had the most incredible experience at this restaurant! The anticuchos were packed with flavor! Tender, juicy, and perfectly seasoned. Every bite was hearty and easy to chew. The ceviche was equally fantastic, with fresh, tangy flavors that balanced beautifully with the creamy leche de tigre, crisp red onions, and soft choclo.To top it all off, they surprised us with a generous scoop of Lucuma ice cream for my grandma’s birthday. Their kindness and hospitality made the experience even more special. I truly appreciate how accommodating and thoughtful the staff was. Highly recommend this place for a delicious and heartwarming meal!Would definitely come back!
