“ I was in the mood for Peruvian food so I ordered take out for my family. Restaurant has a nice warm inviting atmosphere. Pick up was quick and easy. Friendly staff. I ordered the whole chicken pollo a la brasa with arroz chaufa. I also ordered additional sides of French fries and plantains. The whole meal was tasty and plentiful. The pollo a la brasa was seasoned well. I also had the plain arroz chaufa (fried rice) and it was great. You do have the option to have protein added onto to your rice. The portions were more than filling for our family dinner. The green sauce, ají verde, was delicious, great pairing with the chicken. ”

“ Parking can be difficult but not impossible. This specific location is also BYOB. Small inside so depending on the time of day you may not be able to sit and eat. It is self seating and the wait staff is great. The food was absolutely delicious living up to the Peruvian food high standards I have haha. Hubby had the lobster which he said tasted fresh and he loved the sauce. I had the traditional pollo a la brasa with chaufa and fries and it was so good. I shared it with my son. I love that they give a whole bottle of green sauce instead of having to ask for more every few minutes. They provided cups for our wine and we also ordered an Inka Cola for our son. So good and would def recommend. If you happen not to find seating you can cross the street and check out their other location. ”

“ Absolutely fantastic. My parents, who both grew up in Peru, thought it was the best Peruvian restaurant they had experienced in a while. Three adults and three children under 10 ate here in May 2022, arriving shortly before the dinner rush. We ordered ceviche, pollo a la brasa and anticuchos, with the little ones sharing chicken and an order of salchipapa, as well as Inca Kola and chica morada to wash it all down. Most of the food arrived quickly and piping hot -- well, except for the ceviche, which is supposed to be cool (duh!). The chicken was absolutely delicious, with a smoky overtone that persuaded me it was actually cooked with leña (wood) and/or carbon (charcoal). The anticuchos were nicely seasoned and generously portioned. Likewise, the ceviche was decently portioned, too, and the fish was of good quality. Surprisingly, there was a dearth of hot sauces brought out, but as everything was so tasty, none of the food needed it. The service needed a little prodding, but that sort of thing isn't so unusual even in the finest Andean establishments, regardless of what hemisphere it's located in. The decor made an effort to stand out, with neat Edison (bare-filament) lightbulbs attached to light fixtures made of plumbing pipe. It entertained the kids at least as much as the two large TVs showing a European soccer match and what appeared to be a Peruvian tourism channel. From our vantage point on the corner-situated restaurant, we could see what appeared to be the previous location, right across the street. I imagined that the restaurant had enjoyed enough success from its top-notch food to open a new location, and it was definitely worth it! ”
