What a disgusting place. I will never spend my hard earn money here ever again. Aside from making reservations 3 weeks prior they never called me back to verify the reservations and I had to call them and double check just so they can say they don't have any reservations due to it being mother's day. Well I made the reservations 3 weeks ago for this same exact reason. And the booked it and now they didn't want to honor it. I made plans and had a party of 12. They are so irresponsible and they didn't even apologize. They lied and said to give them my phone number and info and they would see what they could do and return my call in 5 mins. Well those 5 mins turned into an hour and no phone call. So I had to call multiple times just to speak to manager and didn't apologize or acknowledge the huge mistake they did. Now here I was with 12 people meeting us here and no other reservations to go to. What a disappointing day all because of these irresponsible people at this establishment. I will never come back here or ever recommend this place to any friends, colleagues or family.

Good food, nice music.

I had the Saltado de pollo. The spicy sauce is good, but I was expecting clean chicken breast meat, not different parts of the chicken. Then, the french fries were straight from a frozen bag. The service was good along with the live music during lunch, but I will never have their meals with chicken and french fries again.

We had Ceviche Mixto 10/10Yuca a la Huancaina 6/10Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos 10/10Peruvian aji (hot sauce) is great.At first the Place looks shady, but when you walk in the restaurant is clean and the staff is welcoming. Good experience I will definitely go back again.

Walked in for a late lunch with a friend and waited at door to be seated. It took over 5 minutes for anyone to notice us. All the tables were dirty had to wait for it to get cleaned and dry up. The only waitress was taking her time to get to us. Finally ordered and food was okay. Ordered lomo saltado and the beef was a little tough. Portion was decent but pricey, more than other know Peruvian places. And they didn't serve the soup that other places give you before the main course. Wasn't pleased with service and food is just okay. Won't be returning here in a good while.

Been here once before and enjoyed their food. This second time around was even better. We decided to come here for my wifey's Birthday dinner.I got the Loma Saltado, wifey got the Pollo Saltado, and together we shared their awesome fried calamari with pickled red onion salad.Service was very good and their restaurant is clean.Everything was so delicious and we definitely will be back for more!

Nice quiet little place. Food was good. With good portions

Brought my mom today and she ordered the pescado sudado. They brought her tilapia instead of filete de pescado. The waiter agreed and insisted that it was not tilapia. I told her we didn’t want the plate and they tried to make a big deal about it. I think she needs to know that the customer is always right and should not argue with the customer. Never eating here again.

super rico, servicio rápido y muy amables

Love this place my family is Peruvian and we have been coming here since we were little kids. Their ceviche de pescado is one of my family's favorite. Definitely recommend and big portions you will not be disappointed
