The fiesta platter was a great way to sample a variety of items. The beef empanadas and chicken were good. I loved the plantains and the yuca fries were great too!The beef from the lomo saltado was tender and my husband was obsessed with the rice from this dish. The preparation was definitely elevated from plain rice.We arrived at opening on Sunday and were seated immediately. It was nice to sit by the window and on a nice day.I hear the ceviche is delicious and excited to try that next time!

Food is good, but a little overpriced. The restaurant is pretty loud,so you're almost yelling across the table. It's great to have a place to get Peruvian food.

Food is well prepared every time. Service is better than most. I have not had one thing on the menu that I have not thoroughly enjoyed. My favorite is the ceviche and the Lomo saltado and the pork belly ?

Always fun and delicious. I love their chicharrones and empanadas, but everything is good there, including the cocktails!

Service is really slow, but maybe it was just the Sunday and maybe understaffed.Ceviche is incredible!!! So delicious and cocktails are generous.

Really bad service. Rude waitress. Brought me food with allergens after I told her I had a severe wheat/gluten allergy. Awful timing bringing dishes out. Very expensive and small portions.Before I ordered I told our server I was allergic to gluten and she arrogantly told me gluten could not be in a sauce, that 'gluten is a food'. After I politely insisted she check with the chef anyway whether or not the soy sauce was gluten free, she begrudgingly talked to him, only to come back and tell me what I already knew- that gluten can in fact be in sauces and the thing she just told me was gluten free actually did have gluten in it. I could not believe how rude she was about it. Gluten free soy sauce is indeed a thing. And I shouldn't have to beg a server to check on a common allergen like that.After all of that she let me order a food item that said "crispy" in the description. I'm not sure how it is my fault that "crispy" did not translate to "battered and deep fried". And after having a very uncomfortable back/forth with her about my allergies she let me order it without mentioning it had wheat in it and was deep fried. I've never had a waiter fail to connect the dots and warn me about something with allergens in it after bringing it up.She acted like it was my fault for ordering it after I specifically told her I was allergic to wheat and gluten and rudely shoved a menu in my face to prove her point. At no point was I rude to her so I have no idea where she got off acting like that.Service was bad, all of this aside. They brought our appetizers out quickly, then almost immediately brought my partners entree out, which was beef. I ordered ceviche. It was almost comical watching the staff try to cram so many dishes on our small table when we hadn't even finished our salad. They did not give us enough time to make space at the table and it was nearly impossible to eat without bumping something.My *first* ceviche came out about 15 minutes after my partner's beef entree so my partner sat there letting her food get cold because she didn't want to be rude and eat without me. I've never eaten anywhere that served entrées so far apart. She had time to completely finish hers before mine came out. I insisted she do because I didn't want it to get cold.After sending the first ceviche back it took another 15-20 minutes to get the next one. So before I had a single bite of my entree, my partner had been done eating for 30~ minutes.Not to mention our server ignored us the entire night except when my partner had to flag her down as she raced past our table. She came to replace our cocktails once but made very little effort otherwise. She left the empty glasses on our table and a few minutes later a random busboy came and took them.She didn't even bring us the dessert menu and this was on my partner's birthday. We wanted to get cake but at that point we were both feeling like the server was either being homophobic or just otherwise rude to us so we paid and left.I only tipped because I didn't want to make a scene but for a $190 dinner they could do a LOT better. I would not go back after this experience. It's a shame because the food tasted good and I love the Walnut Creek location which is a completely different experience.Dietary restrictions: Server was rude and argumentative about food allergies. I had to beg her to check with the chef about common allergens. After all of that she let me order a plate that had the exact thing I told her I was allergic to and she held a menu to my face like a lunatic showing me I was wrong for ordering it. It was her responsibility to point that out in my opinion.If you have allergies avoid this place.

Came with a large group from work. Ordered a large assortment of appetizers and entrees. All of them were really good! They came out quickly, had lots of flavour and good portion sizes. Cocktails were stronger than expected but tasted great! Would definitely go back

Great Peruvian restaurant in the Mission. You can't go wrong with any of the ceviches, and the lomo saltado is delicious. In the cocktail section, I recommend the maracuyá sour!

Only had the ceviche but it was excellent. I will say though I disagree with the Economic Recovery Tax that they charge. Seems to be I am a contributer to your economic recovery by dining there. Hope that's enough for your establishment.

They engage in DRIP pricing and add a hidden fee (4% “economic recovery fee”) to their bill. They also start the tip machine at 20% and watch you like a hawk as you enter the amount on the terminal at the table.Terrible business practices, won’t be back.
