food tends to be pretty good but we’ve had the same issue more than three times with their chicken as it’s not fresh and it tastes like it’s gone bad. We’ve addressed this issue more than we would like to and the two ladies working there didn’t even offer an apology over the phone and all they offered was to switch the dishes when we asked for a refund on our food, but at this point we don’t wanna risk eating there again. Eating there will get you sick.

Food is delicious, but unfortunately the staff was rude and made us pay 20$ for rachi y pancita. I’d normally be fine with this, but when they cover the entire plate with just potatoes and barely any meat? That is simply unacceptable.

These people cook with Quality ingredients, and are cooking them perfectly. Had a wonderful evening dining in. Very family friendly environment, great for birthdays and get togethes. This place, arguably, has the most authentic Peruvian cuisine on the Union Ave. strip!

This restaurant used to be good with one of the most flavorful Peruvian food around the area. I really don’t know what happened, but it is not the same as before. Shame on them for letting a place like this fall down. I know the pandemic hit hard all the business but I feel that they needed to pay more attention to this business. I know that they can get it back into place.

This Peruvian restaurant is r good in price and flavor . Everything is cooked right at the moment and there is always full of customers. There only have 6 tables bc the place is very small . . But the food is really good specially the meat and anticuchos .

I’ve been here before but it’s my first time in a while. It’s always great quality food. Even though it’s only open Thursday-Sunday it’s definitely worth saving this place for the weekend. The service is exceptional! They were prepared to help us quickly and make accommodations for my two year old nephew. The Churrasco (Sabana) was juicy and delicious. The papá a la huancaina had its own kick to it but enjoyed eating it. The green hot sauce is so good, definitely recommend to trying it. Also, they have diet Inca Kola which is a plus.

This place was good. Not any more the service is bad they take forever to bring your food the table are very small no enough space for 4 people to eat at the same time. Pricey for what you get. Like I said I eat here before and was a good experience but the las 2 time was very disappointed. the prices was the same but the fod wasn’t today we order the sabana that is a big stake the comes with salad and baked potatoes tha I have ordered before and a spaghetti in green sauce with a small steak the big stake was half the size it us to be. And the spaghetti did not look or taste good. We call and complain to the owner ho is always there and he did no care at all. I will post the picture I took of the food we bought is nothing like the picture they showed you online. Very disappointed they have lost me as a customer. One more thing is a only cash restaurant no credit cards .

WORST RESTAURANT EVER ! IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR PERUVIAN FOOD DONT COME HERE . My family ordered a tray of steaks that “supposedly comes with potatos” but I cannot believe the mess that they gave us today. They gave us one piece of steak and IT WAS MOSTLY MADE OF BONES AND NOT EVEN A INCH OF STEAK IN THIS TRAY WITH NO POTATOS never ordering again.
