Go here. I got the ceviche pescado, and it was amazing. The flavor was out of this world, a great portion as well. The fried yucca was crisp, and the whole table’s dishes were similarly fantastic. Just a great little spot in the heart of the neighborhood that could and should be considered a staple in anyone’s week.

Food was good but not the best.

Reasonable prices, service with a warm smile and low-key vibe! Perfect neighborhood spot for when you crave comfort food. El Gordo’s rotisserie chicken, just off the grill, ticks all the boxes. Ceviche mixto (I usually odrer “picante” version) is really tasty and fresh. Peruvian desserts (flan, fruit jello etc) with a cup of steaming hot coffee is surely a match made in heaven. OH SO GOOD!

This place is amazing! Went out on a date, and the staff was very attentive. The food came out pretty quickly. Not only that, but each dish was a big portion! It’s a small little restaurant that has so much quality! If you want to try Peruvian food, this is the place.

Food was absolutely DELICIOUS!! Their Ceviche Mixto was so fresh, definitely will be my new go-to Peruvian spot! The portions were great and filling and the price 100% justifies the quality and quantity, definitely getting the most out of your dollar. Would most definitely recommend if you’re craving some savory comfort food.

Chicha Morada drink is delicious. It’s perfect. I loved the breaded chicken but I did not care for the green pesto sauce in the spaghetti dish. The Pescado Saltado is delish. I had the shredded chicken entree and that was pretty good too. I love their onion salad. Service was always friendly and welcoming.

Too bad for me, they olny deliver within a 2 mile radius and I’m 2.3 miles away! Food was tasty… I would definitely recommend the chicken, but the beef dishes were not as tender as I’ve had at other peruvian joints.

Visited this spot because I saw it on a tiktok. I only had two simple dishes, caldo de gallina and anticuchos. Both in nice portions and very tasty. The service was great, Melvin was super nice and welcoming. The place was small but clean and organized. Definitely will come back.
