The truth is that the food is very delicious, I love it but no, I like one thing and that is that when I want an address they tell me that it has to cost more than 100 dollars, which is unfair, the truth is that this time they lost a client and on top of that they charge 10 dollars more for the delivery and being close how

Delicious, authentic Peruvian food and beverage and it's right here in the capital region! Nice variety of items on the menu - meals made to order - comes to the table hot and fresh, bursting with flavor in a generously sized portion. Do yourself a favor and order the Chicha Morada (drink). If you haven't tried Mi Bandera yet, I highly recommend them!

My daughter and I opted to try a cuisine we weren't familiar with and we weren't disappointed!Since neither of us had ever had Peruvian food nor do we speak Spanish to understand the menu, we asked the waitress for help us order. She asked us what type of meats we liked (chicken, pork, beef, seafood, etc) and how much heat/spice we wanted. Ultimately, she recommended the Jalea Mixta for my daughter and Trio Marino for me - both seafood dishes. Neither was spicy.Even though we were the only two customers in the restaurant, it did take a while for our food to come, but we weren't in any rush.My entrée was arranged on a three compartment plate and consisted of ceviche (a fabulous white fish "cooked" in lime juice with red onions - think pickled fish), small rounds of white fish perfectly fried in a light batter, and a seafood yellow rice dish with squid, shrimp, crawfish, and mussels. It was all amazing, but I think the ceviche was my favorite.My daughter's plate was a tower of fried mix seafood and potatoes topped with fresh tomatoes and pickled red onion. She made a big dent in the mound of food and although she took some home she indicated she could have eaten the entire thing.Both the waitress and the gentleman working in the kitchen seemed very pleased how much we enjoyed our meal. The total cost for our meal was $66 before tip, including the limeade my daughter ordered.If you're feeling adventurous and want to try something new - I highly recommend.

We decided to try out a new place since we were in the area for the weekend. This is an authentic Peruvian restaurant. I am so glad we did. We had the Ceviche as an appetizer, it was amazing, they give you a really nice sized portion, not the tiny ones that come in a martini glass like a lot of places. I could have had this alone as an entree, it was so big. Lots of varieties of fish including shrimp, fish, octopus, and squid. I also had the steamed fish filet soup, OH MY Goodness, this is hands down one of the best, and most flavorful dishes I have ever had. I'm not sure what type of fish that was in it, but it was super easy to eat, and the flavor of the fish was exquisite, very buttery. The meat literally just fell off the bone. We will definitely be back again when we are in the area. I look forward to trying more of their dishes. Also the Peruvian music they were playing over the television made it that much better of an experience. I highly suggest you go here!
