Very good food. Excellent staff. Going there for dinner or just for drinks always satisfying.

I went back again to this place and the owner was not there. I had the lomo saltado and fries again. It was not nearly as good as it was the first time. The place also really feels much more bar like than a restaurant. Their tortilla chips are about as bad as I have had. It may be a while before I go back. I think they need to focus on being a bar vs a restaurant.

I’m Peruvian and I’ve had better. As a matter of fact, I usually have better. As a matter, I really can’t think of a time when I haven’t had better. Not to say the food was bad but every other Peruvian restaurant I can think of has been better. Go figure. Unfortunately just ok food was made worse by the terrible service. This was early on a Sunday evening so it was dead. Maybe a half dozen people nursing beers at the bar. Our waitress took our order fine(Arroz Chaufa and Fish Tacos). Twenty minutes later she came back and told me there was no chicken for my Arroz Chaufa. It took the kitchen 20 minutes to realize this? Twenty minutes after that the food came. I don’t make a big deal about food taking long but if we’re the only table in the restaurant 40 minutes is excessive. As I said, the food was ok and I had to put a lot of aji on it(come to think of it the aji was actually unusually bland). The tacos were a little dry too so we put aji on those too. So of course, I wanted to get a little more. Too bad. Our waitress was nowhere to be found. So we ate. And ate. And ate. Finally, with about three big bites left on my plate I spot our waitress sitting at the bar. I flag her down and make my request. Now, to this point our waitress has been surprisingly hard to talk to. We ask for the check and what does she do? She literally stands over us until I take out my wallet and give her my card. OK maybe she just assumed I wanted to pay immediately. When she came back, however, she stood over us while I signed the receipt and waited at the table for her tip. The only thing this place has going for it is that it’s cheaper than some of the better Peruvian restaurants in the area. That’s it.

So I have tried this place twice. First time I ordered the traditional lomo Saltado. Not great but not bad. Meat was tough and really oily. Second time I tried the chaufa and took it to go. It was around 12 dollars and I received such a small portion. Not to mention I called the order ahead of time and still had to wait 30 minutes once I got there. The place is spacious but it looks like they couldn’t decide if they wanted to make it a bar, restaurant or club. They have a pool table. Nice bar setup and then tables on the other side. They also have speakers they run music of their phones. Overall food was not bad but a bit pricey for the portions you get.

The food was okay but beware the new renovation smell! I guarantee it will ruin both your appetite and your mood! Seek elsewhere in the mean time 3÷3÷2014

Good location in the center. Pool table. Bar. Dance floor, and real good Peruvian food. A couple pretty bartenders and servers. Definitely a spot to chill with friends n eat some good food while drinking a corona

I’m a peruvian native and I’m not exagerating. The best«lomo saltado» I’ve ever tried! I was passing by and looking for restaurants with my Unilocal app. I found this one and decided to give it a try. so I ordered the Lomo saltado to taste at home since I was out of my regular driving area. when I got home, what a surprise, a nice and generous portion which I shared with my family and the taste coudn’t be better! Was simply delicious, juicy, tendere meat, great flavor! The green hot sauce was a plus and made my dish even yummier. I definetely plan to come back this weejkend. I can’t wait to try another dish. Highly recommended!
