Excellent food, excellent service. I see a variety of ratings but was very pleased. My husband is Peruvian and can make most of dishes on menu. He was very pleased with flavor too. We had papa rellena, ceviche, lomo saltado, pisco sour, alfajor. All yum. I would have taken pics but was too excited to eat! 4/8 - Excited to go back and had Arroz con mariscos and ceviche with fish and picarones (doughnuts). Service was great. All tasted great. I am lowering my rating by one star. There was a service charge at 18% added to our bill. Not cool.

Peruvian food is just amazing and this is a great place to get it! The wait staff is very knowledgeable about the menu and can recommend something you're sure to love. A nice break from the regular corporate restaurant experience.

Delish authentic Peruvian food! I had to try the "leche de tigre" the bomb! Also had a "tamal" and wow superb! Seafood fried rice was similar to Asian fried rice which I was ok with, but a little disappointed with hunting for the baby seafood. So next time I'm getting the "lomo" . Our server was friendly and so patient with our questions about the dishes. She knew them all! Dbl check your recite cause for 2 of us they automatically added 18%gratuity. O well, I would of left 20%.

Food is a let down, service is just not there, Do not put servers on the floor without any type of training, she didn't even know the menu and then later had to ask us what we had ordered, lol. The amateur service reflected the taste of the food. We got mixed chaufa and it literally tasted like nothing, just greasy. To top it off we had a table that moved and wasn't level, we were told that the manager would come to fix it and then after a few minutes we were told that the manager could not come fix our table because they were too busy taking pictures. You should probably worry about the word of mouth your customers will give for a poor expiration instead of taking pictures on Saturday dinner service. To be honest that's just amateur management.

I enjoyed the Causa de Pollo and Arroz Chaufa, and I look forward to trying more Peruvian dishes at this restaurant in the future. I'm definitely coming back.

(7/10) It had been a few years since I last visited this restaurant, and Id heard it had undergone some changes and improvements so I was eager to see how it stacked up now. Service: Overall, the service was solid. Our waitress was friendly and generally attentive, even with the busy atmosphere. She made an effort to check in and respond to requests, though the noise level made communication a bit tricky at times. Atmosphere: The live band playing added energy to the place, and they were quite good but unfortunately, the volume was way too loud. It made it hard to hear our server (she had to repeat herself several times) and almost impossible to carry on a conversation at our table. If you're looking for a lively scene, this might suit you but if you're hoping to catch up with friends, the noise may be a drawback. Food: I ordered the Desayuno Lurn, and it was mostly a hit. The pork (chicharrn) was outstanding tender, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. Easily the highlight of the meal. However, the tamal was a letdown dry and completely crumbled apart. The menu also said it came with pan francs, but none was brought out initially. When I asked, they brought over a few pieces of flatbread instead. The chicharrn honestly carried the plate it was that good but the rest could use some refinement. Overall: 7/10. Some clear high points and a few areas that need polishing. Ill definitely come back and give it another try especially for that pork.

I visited this location for the first time recently and it did not disappoint! Dont let the outside fool you. Amazing food and service - huge portions for leftovers :) Will be back!!

Change my 5 stars to 3 overall. Not sure whats going on but last experience was not great. Small portions and lack of flavor. Too expensive for the experience. See the pics. 45 bucks for those 2 little plates. And they keep the bad practice of add 18% tip and ask for a tip again after paid. Not sure Im coming back. Sorry.

I must admit that I was extremely hesitant about visiting this restaurant, after all, i did read the reviews. While they are mixed, mostly every-single negative review describes a consistent pattern of "bad service" and instances when a waiter automatically added a service fee. We took a leap of *faith*, Saturday at 4.30pm. We ordered 2 apetizers and 2 main dishes to share - to an extent paranoid about any mishap or a MIA waiter. Long story short: a very good dining experience with attentive service and very flavourful dishes. Solid food. Everything was fresh. Portions are generous and above all, no surprise on the bill (automated service charges). Will definitely go back, and cross my fingers behind my back once again on the way in. Very good food, but I think I already said that.

Absolutely not worth the trip. If you are looking for great Peruvian food, please go to another restaurant in the area. First off, they use freshwater fish in the catfish family (Swai) for their ceviche. They are trash fish just like tilapia, eating waste and byproduct of farming other more expensive fish! It is a super cheap, heavily fished, and dangerous species to eat raw or partially cooked since parasites are more common in freshwater fish. Farmers/processors of swai treat the meat sodium tripolyphosphate to retain moisture, which increases its weight and lowers the price. The prices of this place are ridiculous! I thought it was all in Peruvian Soles until I remember I wasn't in Peru anymore! 3 people to eat one appetizer, 3 dishes and two chicha morada (purple corn drink, non alcoholic) and 2 waters. This costs $120 before tip! You are out of your minds!!!! Chicha in Lima for a half gallon is like $3!!!! The seafood rice (arroz con mariscos ) was way too salty. The fried seafood (Jalea mixta) was okay but portions were tiny. In conclusion, take your hard earned money elsewhere. What a rip-off. The wait staff was super nice at least. Still, not $120 nice.
