I will make it short. Sat down to eat in, very empty place, a bit quiet not bad. Nice that the owner came around to say hello, but it’s very messed up he might know or not know how his business is doing business. First time here..
Bought three plates, first one very bland needed flavor, second plate bitter flavor at the end and dry, the third one, very salty ( like they dropped the salt shaker on it) and a fake tasting white meat. This Third plate Was put to the side with a ?. So we waited and looked around to see if server or somebody came around to let them know. At the end nothing. Finally the lady looked our way and we told her; she said if we would of told her sooner she could of done something about it. No sorry from her no other option..We just said, fine atleast let ur cooks know about the food. We are not rude people, We went to pay and walked out disappointedly. A very Dumb decision to eat there, a really bad “peruvian cuisine” experience. If people dont know how to cook or have good customer service , what are you doing in the restaurant business.
And still gave that inexperienced lady a $2 dollar tip. Paid like $68 +2 for three plates and one purple water. Should of gone across to the donut shop.

Extensive menu with lots of choices and appropriate prices. The food was very flavorful. Our waitress was very friendly and quick to bring our food on drinks. Their ice-cream for dessert had many unique flavors like lucuma, chirimoya and maracuya

Boom food and great service! 10/10 authentic Peruvian food and would come here again. We ordered and the food came out hot and the wait wasn’t long. This place also had a gelato bar inside and was an added treat.

Went here for the first time today, excited to try this lomo saltado. Ordered to go when i got home and open the tray there was a dam hair on my food. I immediately called the place explained the situation to the lady “susana” she said bring it back ( mind you i live about 15 min away) i wasnt going to drive back for just another plate i asked for my $ back she said ok but it would have been better to offer me a new or free plate on top on my money back for the inconvenience of driving back there. I wont be going back to this place

Having moved to SoCal from NYC I honestly feel like SoCal lacks Hispanic culinary variety, so I’m happy this place opened.
We came in for dinner. It seemed pretty busy, but we were still seated and attended quickly. Having had a variety of Peruvian dishes back in NYC I opted for the Tallarín Verde which is only my favorites while my wife went with the Lomo Saltado and Papa Rellena as an appetizer.
The papa rellena was delicious you could tell it was made fresh; beef was perfectly seasoned as was the potato. Wife absolutely loved the lomo saltado; she said the rice was very tasty as was the beef.
Lastly, the tallarín verde was a little shy of salt, not a problem as there’s salt on the table and frankly I rather receive an under salted dish than one that’s over salted. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the milanesa de res was spot on.
The service was also great and I believe a gentleman who may have been the owner was making rounds checking in on everyone’s food.
Overall it was a pleasant experience and I hope they’re able to stay in the neighborhood for a long time.
Next on my list is the arroz chaufa, I’ll be back soon.

Nice and relaxing atmosphere and the food was so delicious. The lady at the register was really nice and accommodating. I felt very well taken care of all the way from Florida. I would eat here again.

Clean atomosphere. They do not make any changes to their plates, served as is, despite allergies. Waitresses gossiping behind the registers instead of checking in on customers. There was a couple trying to get their attention but they seemed more interested in their gossip. Food is okay, I’ve had better Peruvia food. Inka Grill in Lake Forest and Inka Peruvian Cuisine in Palm Springs.

Delicious food! We had the Lomo Saltado and the Tallarin Verde, both were excellent, definitely comparable to the best Peruvian spots in LA. Service was great as well, very cute and comfortable little spot, it’s a nice casual vibe and very good for lunch or dinner!

My partner and I came for here dinner Sunday night after a long day. The owner and servers greeted us immediately and made us feel at home. We ordered the ceviche mixto and the tallarín verde with milanesa chicken and they were both fantastic. Great portion sizes, and fresh quality food! We will absolutely be back.
