Since I am not from Peru, I didn't really understand the menu but all was absolutely delicious. Large portions. The seviche and chicken soup were really wonderful. I can't wait to return.
We went with some Peruvian friends, who recommended dishes from their country. I knew Peru was well-known worldwide for its gastronomy, but this restaurant pleasantly surprised me; it has a homey flavor. The dish I ordered reminded me of the purslane my grandmother made when she lived in Mexico. I highly recommend the chicha morada, and I can't say enough about the desserts, especially the alfajores. The prices aren't cheap, but it's worth the trip, although I'm not sure I'd return soon.
Cozy little place that is definitely worth a try! I got the Beef Chaufa (fried rice), yuca con huancaina, and the chicha morada! The yuca con huancaina was tasty! The yuca itself was fried to perfection. A note though, there was no seasonings or salt at all, they left it up to you to sprinkle whatever you wanted. The huancaina was a very interesting dip! Google for more info but it’s a creamy yellow sauce that has cheese and other flavors/seasonings blended into it. The beef chaufa was $17.95 and had strips of beef that were from a very regular cut of beef lol, but at least the portions were giant! Definitely enough to fill up two adults. I’m no expert on Peruvian cuisine but I thought their chicha morada was DELICIOUS and by far my favorite thing I ordered. Perfectly balanced citrus notes and sweetness. I could not stop sipping it. In terms of service, as soon as all our food was served, our server never came back out to ask us if we needed anything so… that’s that. Definitely coming back to try more dishes!
The place is beautiful but the food is just ok. Ordered papa a la huancaina first, which was pretty nice and simple, but then came the queso con choclo which was literally just the corn cobs next to a block of feta cheese. I was at least expecting it to be off the cob and in a bowl, especially for $8! My entree was the aji de gallina, which was also nice. The others at our table got a giant jalea order, a fish dish, and ceviche. The ceviche was definitely the best and had a nice spicy flavor to it. I also had the chicha morada, which wasn’t bad, but very sweet. For dessert we shared an alfajor. Overall the food is nothing special and not as good as Peruvian food would be. Based on the quality and the portion sizes, the prices seemed expensive. I would go to a few other restaurants before coming here for good Peruvian food.
This place is so GOOD!! It’s a small family owned restaurant and the chef knows what he is doing! The Lomo Saltado, Chaufa, Tallarines Saltado and huancaina was delicious! They also have Lucina ice cream and picarones! We will definitely return when we come back into town!
Had a great experience here tonight. Started with their featured soda and appetizer. Forgetting the names but check out the pics! Then ordered two dishes and tried them both. Both were good but preferred the yellow one. Finished with the fried donuts! Yum from start to finish!
The food here is delicious, definitely must try. It’s fresh and prices are reasonable. The service was great too. I told the young lady I love their hot sauce and she gave me extra sauce to go my lunch. This might just be my new go to lunch place :)
It was my first time trying food from Peru ! And I think I liked it , it was good and tasty and the staff were super friendly. We ordered: - Ceviche - Arroz con Mariscos - Jalea mixta And they provide us FREE Cancha as much as we like! But I don’t know if the price was ok or little expensive but I considered that the Mexican restaurants are cheaper with more quantities or food anyhow my experience was good and I might try another food from Peru again either this restaurant or another one.
