I loved this place. Excellent food and good service.My only issue is that the atmosphere could be a little more cozy. I only went in because it was highly recommended, but perhaps if it hadn't been that way, I probably wouldn't have gone in.Parking: Parking is small but free.

Terrible, the chicken was terrible when heated in the microwave, it was dry out of politeness we paid for it but the truth is I don't recommend it

Visited this restaurant with my bf for Sunday lunch. We ordered and shared the fried whole red snapper which was huge and seasoned good. They apparently don't always have that on the menu so it was a special item for that day. We ordered salad rice and plantains for the sides . I really enjoyed the meal. The server spoke little English but it was enough to order and understand what we wanted to eat . My bf also ordered their homemade pineapple juice which was amazing and not too sweet.. The restaurant is very small but cozy with a very small parking lot . So it's suggested to park on the street around the corner from the restaurant.

As a longtime enthusiast of Peruvian cuisine, finding a local restaurant that serves it fills me with immense joy. Despite its modest size, this eatery stands out for its exceptional service and culinary delights. My friend chose the Lomo Saltado, a dish I've often found overly salty elsewhere. However, here, it was perfectly seasoned. I opted for the rotisserie chicken, accompanied by two sides and vegetables, all of which were satisfying. Moreover, the aji verde sauce was the perfect complement to our meal. Proving once again that it's a staple when enjoying Peruvian dishes.

Very good place to stop in for some Peruvian food. My two friends are Peruvian and they come here often . They finally invited me and I must say the food did bit disappoints the Seco Combinado was good m. Ceviche, and Passion fruit juice was very tasty and juicy. I would come back.
