The food was amazing! We got a #1, #32, a noodle dish and fried rice.They give you some dipping sauce, green sauce is not spicy at all, the yellow sauce was supposed to be a lil spicy (it wasn't, more like tangy), the red sauce is spicy. Our favorite was the yellow sauce. All of them were flavorful and bangin'.My dish had a lemon sauce that honestly was the best and paired lovely with the seafood. The side that wasn't fried in the 3 sectioned dish was lightly cooked in a lemon sauce that was to die for but I can't handle the texture, it was too close to raw for my liking on the fish. But it WAS delicious.The steak tips was in a soy sauce situation that was sweet and really really good. The fried rice was probably the best I've ever had, including Chinese restaurants. The pasta with that flat pancake looking thing is actually a HUGE piece of chicken. It's a pesto pasta situation and I loved that it tastes like pesto. Not just a suggestion of flavor and oil.Honestly the amount of food for the price was insane, we got so much food for a decent price.This was the first time any of us had Peruvian food. The waitress was really kind in giving us a recommendation on what we might like (and she was right, it was the steak, rice, and fries) and she was really kind in answering all my questions about what it was exactly we were eating. Lovely lady.The food was so good, 1000/10 recommend eating here. They only have street parking but when we went, there was plenty of side parking.Parking: Plenty of street Parking

I would like to bring to your attention an issue with the Parihuelas and Pisco Sours that were ordered. The Parihuelas lacked the expected flavor, and the Pisco Sours had an excessive amount of foam.

Some of the best Peruvian food I have tried. My party of 5 had a late lunch here after attending an event in the area. We had a variety of dishes- started off with causa and anticuchos to start followed by chaufa piolin, tacu tacu mariscos, lomo saltado, ceviche piolin (pescado, mariscos, and calamari), and pollo a la brasa 1/2. Everything was delicious and the portions were generous. I'm already planning my next visit here. The only thing is, you better make sure you have time because the service is pretty slow!

La comida es más o menos, Pero el servicio es de lo peor , muchas veces llamo y ordeno y cuando llego a recoger " no tienen mi orden" y también me a pasado que cobran mal. Y hoy pedí por Uber eats para evitar incovenientes de nuevo con las inutiles de Las meseras. Y no me ponen mi salsa verde con el pollo a la brasa , ni ketchup al menos. nos les doy menos estrellas porque el cocinero no tiene la culpa.

Love this place, whenever I'm working in the area I get the fried rice with green sauce!

Lately they sell chicken with little potatoes, they serve fewer and fewer potatoes and they only put one or two small containers of chili... They should improve the potato and chili

Muy buena comida. Lamentablemente ayer me negaron una piña colada y vi como después de mi llegaba gente y eran atendidos antes que yo. Y pensar que cada vez que me visita mi familia vamos ahí a comer. Desilusionada

I just wanna point out, I am Peruvian. So my standards for Peruvian food is a bit higher. This place just wasn’t it. The food was definitely edible but it’s not somewhere I’d recommend if I wanted someone to try Peruvian for the first time.The lomo was alright, the fries were pale. Felt like they needed another 2-3 min in the fryer. Tallarines de pollo were bland, needed more meat too. Bistek was cooked more than we usually like but the flavor was still there. The ceviche had a really good taste to it. The fish was cut a bit too thin but that was prob the best plate we had. The ají was really good.Again, it’s an alright spot but I wouldn’t say this is the best Peruvian food. The server was super nice, atmosphere wasn’t great. I hate dark walls, just gives off unwelcoming vibes. I’m not familiar with the area so maybe they convert to a club at night? Not sure.

The food is good here. Try the green sauce they offer with your rice it's amazing. I come here sometimes just to get the green sauce to bring home.

It’s disappointing that this restaurant management doesn’t pay attention to their hours posted online. I just called at 9:20 pm to order but I been told they were closed, although it clearly stated online the closing time at 10 pm. They can operate at whatever hours are convenient to them, but they should respect the information they provide to the customer. Informal and very sad.
