They are clearly understaffed, we waited over 1 hour for our food, simple order. They barely pay attention to you.The food. The “Lomo Fino” we asked “MEDIUM” was well done. The “Churrasco a lo Pobre” was thin, and looked just sad.The worst one, the Lomo Saltado. Supposed to be good at a Peruvian Restauran, was simply not good at all. The vegetables look almost raw, the rice was undercooked, and there was a weird flavor that I could not tell what it was, maybe old oil?The papas a la haucaina had too much sauce. But it was ok.I’m not coming back, sorry but the quality is not there and the staff is not too attentive. They need more people, and cooks that know how to properly cook something as simple as a Lomo Saltado.

Food is amazing and reasonably priced. Portions are good and the amount of sauces to pair with the food were generous. read more Food is amazing and reasonably priced. Portions are good and the amount of sauces to pair with the food were generous.
