First time trying this restaurant about a week ago. I saw all of the great reviews and was truly excited to try. Service and atmosphere was 10/10. The food was not and the only reason for 2 stars. I'm not sure if we went on an off night for the chefs, but it was not what we expected it to be. The bandeja paisa was definitely under salted. The meat was cooked all the way, but in all honesty, we weren't sure if it was possibly boiled first. The beans were not tasty, the eggs had so much oil and again under salted. The only good thing were the plantains.The lomo could have been way better if it had salt and less fries. You can't really tell from my picture, but I promise it was alot of fries. I filled up the small appetizer dish of fries I couldn't eat. I did have an empanada that I enjoyed, though.Unfortunately, I don't think I can give it a second try. There were too many things that didn't taste good. I am happy that others feel the opposite!

The food is good, what I don't agree is when you order takeout they give you 1 small sauce and if you want 1 more you have to pay extra money, prices are not cheap enough to charge you for a sauce. In truth, of many, too many Latin restaurants that I have visited, this has only happened to me here !!

I have come here a couple times now and enjoyed all the experiences. When I came in the summer I tried a cocktail and appetizer and really enjoyed sitting outside. Now that it's colder, the bar and restaurant are beautifully designed and provide a warm, comfortable space for a drink or dinner. The mixed seafood ceviche was absolutely incredible. The spicy one had a nice spice level. Staff has always been kind and helpful.

Food is amazing here! Only bummer is communication is kinda difficult because of the language barrier but that doesn’t mean I’m going to knock off a star. They are still so amazing!

Definitely not my favorite spot for Peruvian food. I have had better. Ceviche mixto was below average and the parihuela soup was flavorless.
Location was right on the main road and parking was fine. Staff was so kind and the food was beyond amazing ! It came out so quick. So flavorful and fresh thank you! We will be back for sure.

Unfortunately I didnt have a good experience, being peruvian myself i was very disappointed, i order arroz chaufa and it look like it was old rice with big chunks of it, the chicken was over cook, very hard to eat and no flavor at all. The prices are also so high for what you get, and the gratuity for 2 people is also included!! When with my sister for a quick lunch from work and end up paying so much for food we didnt even enjoy. Is sad because the food was so much better in the past with reasonable prices, probably under new management.

My husband and I ordered from this restaurant for the first time since moving to CT. We got 2 lomo saltado and it was really good. The meat was soft and tasty. We also got salchipapa, that wasn't great. The hotdogs were undercooked and pale in color. The people were so friendly. Also, the menu doesn't have all the deserts they have. I had to ask over the phone what they had. It's a casual place to come with family.

Husband ordered a ceviche de camarón instead got ceviche de pescado. When I got home from work and called to see how they can rectify their error they basically told me I was making it up. Then offer to give me a credit for a Tuesday or Thursday and I need to call in advance. Also for anyone that goes there they automatically add 18% service fee.

Stopped in for lunch on our way north. The restaurant had a few people inside and outside. Located on the Main Street of downtown it was easy to find. Beautiful mural on the back wall with other interesting art on the side walls. The food was good and filling. Service was acceptable, water could have been refilled sooner. All the portions were filling and we left full.
Great first experience.
