The ceviche was a nice size portion. The food was fresh and very flavorful. It's a little whole in wall, but the food is excellent.
I am Peruvian.I know what Peruvian food is.Would I call this "traditional"? Absolutely not.Does that mean the food is bad though? No. It's good. It's just not traditional.Worth a visit if you're far from home, in terms of Peruvian cuisine, but if you desire some good Peruvian food, go to New York (or wherever there's a sizeable Peruvian community in California).
Solid and reliable. All I’ve tried has been excellent. (Try the pescado sudado)!!
Very decent food and prices. No air conditioning, so it was warm when I got there around 6 PM and only a few tables. Soon as I sat down, it got super busy and didn't let you until we left around 8:30, the two girls were running around and did their best. Other than a long-ish time to get the food, it was good. If you can, visit the Glendale location. Less crowded.
It seems like a hit or miss…My wife got some fish with seafood and a creamy sauce that was just perfect, very happy with the value for the price.I had some grilled fish “à la plancha” which was terrible: it is some bland “swai fish” that isn’t suitable for this kind of serving, but more importantly it was having a strong taste of burnt (it wasn’t overcooked though, so it was like if the grill was not cleaned and had burnt leftover). Also the menu says that it comes with some “sauce” but this is actually some salsa and onions: I asked the waitress after getting the plate and she said many people are surprised about this: what about they warn us when we order?The young waitress is nice but a bit “green” on this kind of things unfortunately: she brought me chicken first and when I asked her about it she said it was fish, I had to taste it to confirm that it wasn’t (really it does not look at all the same).In the end they comped the burnt fish that I didn’t eat, which is always appreciable.I put 4 stars because the ladies were nice and my wife enjoyed her plate, mine was likely a 1 star experience (wrong order and then “burnt” when redone)
We are visiting from Miami, and found this small Peruvian resturant online. What a Treasure! My wife is Peruvian and eating at this resturant was like having homemade food back home. The service was great, and the staff super friendly. Highly recommend it.
Food was good, clean place, good latin music on the restaurant,i just would recommend improve the service a little bit by checking more often on the tables, also be a little more friendly. I highly recommend this place, food was really good and also they serve you bread that was nice! Don’t forget to tip your servers!!!
For 3 people... we had 2 apps, 2 pastas and 1 entree. We shared it all with a $41 bottle of wine and had a lovely meal for $148. Add in a $35 tip for great service and great recommendations and it was a good evening out for about $200.I'd totally come back here again. I loved the neighborhoody feel, great menu and great service.
Wonderful staff, fantastic flavors. The fish was a little tougher this time but supply is so hard these days. The choices are plentiful and the flavors are outstanding.
Moved on to spaghetti with bottarga. Now, if you have never had bottarga, you absolutely have to try it! It is a Sardinian specialty that is made from dried fish eggs which are then grated like parmesan over pasta. The taste is absolutely incredible! Like they figured out how to preserve the ocean. And it is very hard to find in the States. This rendition was perfect, with a very nice al dente pasta, and just enough garlic and oil to complement the other flavors. I felt like I was back in Italy!The staff was terrific too, spoke with several of the waiters, all of whom were recent Italian immigrants, and all of whom were delightfully friendly. I will most definitely be back, and you should go too - but I would recommend reservations, as it is quite a small restaurant.
