Food used to be better when we first came here. The rachi was only flat strips usually it has those honeycomb bits on it. There was a rat that ran past the bathroom and honestly ruined the whole mood.

I've been to the Huntington location but it was closed so we went to this one. We are seated quickly and we were given ample time to order our food. The drinks and appetizer came out quick and the food was delicious. The anticucho con Rachi was flavorful, soft, and warm. Loved the smoke taste every time I take a bite. I ordered the tacu tacu with steak and it was a 10/10. The portion was huge. The steak covered the whole plate and the rice and beans were soft, nice lime taste, and seasoned well. My passion fruit juice was good as well, not too sweet, just right. We were a group of four and price was right for the amount of food we ordered. Definitely recommend. Delicious food and good vibes.

Como peruanos nacidos y criados en Perú. Nuestras expectativas cuando se refiere a la comida peruana son altas, especialmente cuando viene de un restaurante Peruano. El ambiente y el servicio estaba muy bien. Pero la comida estaba mala para ser honesto. Toda la comida no tenía sabor peruano. Lo siento pero es la verdad. Por favor mejor el sazón peruano.

Very average taste of food and service. First of all, their ambience of the restaurant was ok but the restroom was very clean. Menu was a little bit difficult for me to understand as it was my first time and I’m a non Latin/hispanic. So I had to check for the English translation, but the waitress was very impatient, came to me twice to ask if I’m ready to order. We ordered mixed ceviche, chicken fried rice, French fries, fish in garlic sauce, beef linguini pasta. Quantity is good, fried rice is good to share among 3/4 people. But fried rice and fish was way too salty. Pasta and ceviche was just ok, nothing extra ordinary. Then we ordered flan for dessert, which is a bit different than other places. Taste wise just ok. But they showed us the courtesy to offer the flan on the house as I complained them about the saltiness of the food.

Some of the best white fish ceviche I’ve had!We came in for a family birthday with a big group of people, so we were able to order a lot of things. Everything was so tasty but especially the ceviche!My only note is we wish they would have coursed out the food better. Everything was dropped on our table before we could finish our appetizers. Still, that ceviche was dope. We will return.

Made reservations for my business Christmas dinner where they sat us was not the greatest they had an extra room where they could have sat us guest of 26 ppl it was uncomfortable where they sat us . I didn’t want to be this close to their stage I also called for the 3 high chairs for my employees kids they didn’t have it set up. And they had the soccer playing on their screen should have kept more festive especially when I called setting up a reservation for a Christmas party for 26 ppl.

The food was great. Good taste. We were a very large party with about 4 children and 15 adults. Thinking they would have karaoke we decided to go that day but they had music videos playing in all the screens. The videos had explicit sexual content it disgusting having to eat and have that in your face, especially with small children there. I had to tell the DJ to change the music. The music was uncomfortably loud that it became unpleasant and we could not have conversations with each other. We were there early so no excuse for the nightclub vibes. Not family friendly. Would not eat there again.

The ambiance is comfortable and the service was great. Business lunch went without an issue. Everyone enjoyed the lunch and the food tasted great. I ordered the Chaufa chicken rice. Very tasteful and generous portion. I plan to visit this location for dinner these coming days. They are plenty of items in the menu. If you in the area, stop by.

I was there yesterday we order the plate Entraña is a special plate the problem is that plate used to be a nice big piece of meat and 2 potatos with chimichurri on and salad now they just give you a little piece of meat (literally half) and now it cost more from before very disappointed ?
