Outstanding food! Fish n chips were so good! Manager was so helpful navigating me through the menu. My first time eating here and trying this type of cuisine. If you haven’t tried it I highly recommend you do. They have native cola too, if you like cream soda, you will love it.

Prices online are off, you do have to order at the counter but they bring your food to the table. The lady that helped us on the register was very kind and polite and very helpful. We didnt have to wait to long for the food. When we went it looks like there is 1 cook. It smelled delicious inside the restaurant!!! I ordered bistek a la poured. And when I got my plate I was blown of the quality of good that was given. Everything was so damn delicious. I loved the plantains!!!! The steak was seasond well and yummy. The rice, the was was excellent in flavor for being white rice. My BF got the ceviche mixto and he was a little bummed out that it was an appetizer. But when that plate came out it was a good amount for it being an appetizer. When he finished it he was content, he wasnt trying to be in a good coma. It doesnt come with chips or tostadas, but us being Mexican thats what we are used to. I did ask for chips and the cook explained that thats how they eat it (which is reasonable, different culture different ways of eatjng foods). They took some for him. I told my parents about the place and now they are going to check it out. The green salsa that they handed out, it reminds me of creamy cilantro dressing (which I love) but it had a different texture and it had a kick to it. I had to take the left over home. It was soon good. Im loosing weight and on a diet and I think Im going to have to sneak over there to get some of the food.I believe the older gentleman is the owner and he would come to the table here and there to ask how the food was. I did see him help and serve food.Great service and exceptionally great food. Definitely get your moneys worth and taste buds tickled.

Read the reviews and the Lomo saltado seemed like their most popular dish. I figured I would make a trip over to try this out.Eating out nowadays seems to average around 15 to 20 dollars for one. I feel like this is outrageous but it has become the norm. So the thing that sets different places apart is the quality and portion. That being said, I feel like the quality could have been better. Everything was fresh, no doubt, but for me, it was just very plain and basic. I didnt see what made it Peruvian. Im not really familiar with Peruvian cuisine which is why I was curious and wanted to try but it was just rough cut potatoes with onions and peppers and meat (which was actually decent quality) and a dollup of rice. I was hoping for a new combination of spices or a sauce that made me say to myself, oh THATS Peruvian. But, sadly, I didnt. Unless it was the rough cut potatoes but this really wasnt something that seemed important to the dish.It was basic but admiringly it was wholesome and healthy. I was just hoping for something new.They did include a side sauce but I think it was just cilantro and oil blended.If it was more affordable, I might find this place appealing but if Im paying 20 bucks for a dish, I want my stomach screaming to my brain that its happy.

Their food is great and very polite. The only thing is that they need to update their pricing on the menu. For the two dishes I got, the math doesnt adds up with the pricing they have online in their menu. Overall very good.

Hidden gem tucked away in the back kf the shopping center. Great food and even better customer service. First time there (and not the last), and they were very nice and welcoming.

First time here. Tried 2 separate dishes the arroz chaufa mixto de mariscos and lomo saltado. Both were very good with a homestyle flavor... not too familiar with Peruvian cuisine so it took a little bit to figure out what some of the wording was...dont be shy and ask..also everything is made fresh as you order so make sure you plan accordingly. Some dishes take 20 to 30 minutes to come out. Definitely worth it if you have the time!

Bomb 💣 I would describe how delicious this torta Cubana is. All fresh ingredients, customer service 10+. I have stopped here before covid and to know that after a year and a half later. Food quality is still amazing, customer service has not changed one bit, parking is descent and inside dinning is great, nice and cool on this day thats 105+ degrees. I give this place a 10+

Recommend the seafood fried rice plate. Has shrimp, squid, and scallops. Big plate so be ready to eat or share it. Tried the huacaina potatoes but didnt like how it tasted. The plate is served cold and I was told thats how its supposed to be but eating cold potato slices just didnt taste great. The owners are nice and accommodating.
