THE WORST PERUVIAN FOOD!!!! This restaurant is the proof why America is called the Land of opportunity!!! You can just open any Restaurant, claim a Country's food and make money!! Most Americans are not familiar with authentic food from around the world. Therefore you get Restaurants like this open up and serve dried up salty chicken or their horrible salads. The potato salad was like pineapple yogurt!! This Restaurant should be banned for serving this horrible food! It's a disgrace to Peruvian Food, culture and history!!!

First time here and I have to say the rotisserie chicken had great flavor ! A bit over priced, but it's the area so I get it. Great service and with a smile ! Looking forward to trying the other dishes !

We ordered 1/2 chicken with the vegetables, garlic rice, and fries. The chicken had too much pepper for my taste but the other person I had it with enjoyed it. The vegetables tasted like the frozen vegetables that you get from the store and microwave... The fries were good. The garlic white rice is was the real star of the show. It was so freakin good! Everything else was subpar to me.

I don't know what went wrong with what I ordered but I do not feel great about my experience. I ordered the shack sandwich which on the menu was labeled "(spicy)" in parenthesis but had not only no kick but lacked spices whatsoever. The sauce was bland. The bread was dry. Overall was perfectly serviceable as food and that's it.I ordered my food with a side of steamed veggies instead of fries. The veggies were $5.49 when the fries are $1.99. Did not know the charge was that much when ordering and was not told it was nearly twice as much. Additionally, the steamed veggies had ZERO flavor. Take any bag of frozen veggies from the store (green beans, carrots, corn, etc) and throw them in a pot and that's what I received.Overall I feel cheated with the experience I had. The reviews all look so good but the service and meal that I received was worth $10, not the nearly $25 I was charged for this experience.

We used to come here more often, and it has been a year or so since ordering from this establishment. Bought the chicken fried rice, one of our 'usual' items from here, and was a bit disappointed. It was tasty as always, but, there is noticeably less chicken in the dish, even with the higher pricing. Not happy. Also, they add a 3.99% fee for using a credit card. Seriously? What merchant pays this much? According to NerdWallet, "...Credit card processing fees typically cost a business 1.5% to 3.5% of each transaction's total...". To say that we are disappointed is an understatement.

$1.32 charge for credit card even though I was paying cash. And they don’t even tell you or give you a receipt unless you ask them.

The lomo saltado was previously amazing and something I looked forward to for my cheat meals at least twice a month. However, the last 5 times I've ordered takeout the quality has diminished. Way smaller portion of beef, less sauce, seasoning nonexistent. The chicken soup and rice have stayed the same, but I don't think I'll give this spot another chance for a long time ): I'm leaving 4 stars because I'd hate to bring down the average rating of a small business, but I am pretty disappointed.

Best peruvian food in the area. I have tried most of them! Still can taste peruvian flavors. My favorite is lomo saltado and pollo a la brasa. I always dine in!! Specially now that they open until late in the evening. Worth every penny!

The pork tacos, wow the pork tacos...I've been here before, and was impressed with the pesto pasta w/chicken plate. But just had those pork tacos with pinto beans and FF. Thoroughly satisfied. The sauces they offer with all their dishes really enhance the experience.Parking: Its a small one, but theres street parking as well.
