I like Peruvian food because they have great flavors. Found Kausa between my meeting place and hotel, and noticed they have a nice collection of Ceviches.
Staffs are very friendly and the decor is nice. I ordered the seafood mix ceviche for appetizer and the shrimp on rice for entree. The ceviche was very refreshing, packed with flavor, citrus and some heat. Seafoods were nicely prepared, not chewy or mooshy. The shrimp over rice was packed with flavors, kind like a coconut curry, nicely done.

We stumbled across Kausa while in the neighborhood and were very happy we did! The service was friendly and efficient, the atmosphere, energy and overall vibe was great and the food was delicious! We split the Lomo Saltado, Ceviche and a side of Tostones. The cocktails were just the cherry on top. Overall this was excellent, but also was a really good value for what you get.

My friend recommended this restaurant for their happy hour frozen margaritas. The group enjoyed the frozen margaritas, I enjoyed my passion fruit mocktail.
We decided to have dinner here and we were not disappointed. I was determined to try the Kausa lamiña dish. I have celiac disease and Ricardo was very helpful with letting me know which dishes are gluten free. I asked for extra green sauce, which tastes great with everything.
Ricardo let us try a shot of Dominican pisco shot, very strong!
Ricardo then gave us an ice cream. I forgot which fruit, I’ll ask my friend, but it was surprising with favor. It was more vanilla, chocolate and sort of coffee tasting.
Overall the food and drinks were good, Ricardo was great!
Highly recommend! Would go again!

Let me start off by saying it was just pure excellence from the moment we got there. The hostess had greeted us with pure kindness. Our bartender Ricardo took care off us from the moment we got there. Amazing service and great recommendation on the pulpo à la parrilla. The pisco sours were the best I ever had. Highly recommend trying this place!

This place is amazing. I continue to fall more and more in love with it. I bumped into this place randomly while waiting for a friend and went in for their happy hour frozen margarita that extends till 9 PM and loved it from the beginning. The margaritas are only seven dollars till 9 PM and they are made deliciously with a tequila that does not give you a hangover the next day or bartender Ricardo, both times that I visit was extremely helpful and and such a good time. He described to us the dishes in detail and the drinks as well. He introduce us to pisco, the traditional Peruvian spirit. The food was incredible extremely tasteful and complex. Although the servers and host and other workers were polite, friendly, and very welcoming, the place is beautifully decorated the Mariscos are delicious. I’m looking forward to my next visit can’t wait to have many more dishes from the menu. Can’t wait to come over with more friends and enjoy the incredible happy hour margaritas

Michael was great—super attentive, made excellent drinks, and provided outstanding service throughout the night. The Papa a la Huancaína sauce was absolutely amazing. I had a traditional Pisco and La Diva, and both were fantastic. Overall, an amazing experience—I’ll definitely be back
