I really wanted to love this place. I love Peruvian food, and I’ve even been to Peru, so I came in with high hopes. The restaurant is a small storefront, and street parking was easy. We were the first customers of the day. When we walked in, festive Spanish music was playing quite loudly. The dining room had red tables with vases of artificial red flowers—simple and colorful. I was starving, which always raises expectations.
I ordered the snapper with tostones for $30. The portion was generous, and the fish itself was well cooked. Unfortunately, everything was extremely salty. The rice was hard and undercooked, and the tostones were also heavily salted. Overall, the flavors were good, but the salt overwhelmed the dish.
I tried to explain this to the waitress as best I could. My Spanish is very basic, and she didn’t speak any English. She explained (in Spanish) that the person who speaks English wasn’t there that day. While I don’t expect people in Peru to speak English, it would be helpful in an English-speaking country—especially for things like food preferences or allergies. A little extra seasoning never hurt anyone, unless you do have food sensitivities.
For my husband, I pointed to a photo of a seafood stir fry, but what arrived was chicken and beef instead. He didn’t enjoy it and barely touched the plate. To their credit, she didn’t charge us for his meal.
The water was Dasani, which I personally don’t drink, but that’s just preference. We paid, left a generous tip, and headed out.
Despite the issues, the waitress was genuinely sweet, and the music added a fun energy. Once more customers arrived and conversations filled the room, the music volume felt more appropriate.
I would go back—with the plan to kindly ask for less salt if possible. I truly want mom-and-pop businesses like this to succeed. I’d encourage you to check it out for yourself and form your own opinion.

I got Pollada Peruana, Chicago Morada and Churrasco Peruano. I had an amazing dining experience at this restaurant! There was no wait time, which was a pleasant surprise. Andrea, my server, was exceptional—friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful throughout my visit. The environment was clean, inviting, and comfortable, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. The food portions were generous and well worth the price. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for great service, a welcoming atmosphere, and excellent value for their money!”

Great place. New to us. Parking on the street and behind the grocery store.
It’s nice to find Peruvian comfort food. For those trying to venture out but wanting to play it safe, take heart they have roasted chicken. Pretty tame, well spiced, and typically served with French fries.
However, if you want to try classic Peruvian comfort food, this place is pretty good.
They have a trio, not quite a pre fix menu, but a sampling of different dishes. You can pick from a variety of dishes from the menu.
We tried the following- papa renella, cau cau, carapulca, tamale, seco de res, and Lomo Saltado.
Mom’s cooking is always best, but man this was good. I can say that because mom was with me and agreed.
Would definitely go back to try the other offerings including their chicken. Service was attentive and efficient. Glad we tried this place.

I was in CT for 2 nights and I was happily surprised to find this restaurant. OMG los picarones were hot and delicious! All the right scents and sweet stickiness in the syrup. I also had chaufa mixto. Good food and friendly service. I bought to go.

We went for a quick lunch, and the food was terrific. The service was excellent, although the waiter struggled a little with the English language. However, she pushed through and went above and beyond to take our order and even gave us some valuable insights into the menu and their offerings. The only thing they need to improve is the volume of the music. It was way too loud for a lunch or even a dinner experience. After-hours party time is okay, but not during a meal, during which you would like to have a conversation at the table.
