### A Culinary Experience with Highlights and Hiccups Nestled in an inviting location, this restaurant boasts exceptional cuisine that delights many patrons. Diners rave about the rich flavors, with standout dishes including plantains, empanadas, and unique beverages that elevate the experience. However, the restaurant's outdoor seating arrangement has drawn some criticism, as guests have found themselves placed at awkward, chilly tables without heating, leading to discomfort. Service inconsistencies have also marred the experience, with reports of slow service and mix-ups in orders. Despite these setbacks, the general consensus is that the remarkable food and welcoming atmosphere warrant a return visit, albeit with tempered expectations.

Let's begin with the food: it was simply extraordinary. The freshness was remarkable, with delightful flavors and enticing aromas that made the experience incredibly satisfying. I must say, Peruvian cuisine ranks among my top three favorite foods in South America.

I walked in alone and asked to be seated, but the busboy needed to check first before allowing me to sit at an empty table. I was dressed in comfortable attire...

1. This is one of the top spots in all of San Diego. 2. The staff went above and beyond. 3. It's rare to come across a place like this. 4. Some might say the prices are a bit steep...

I was happy to find an authentic place and different variety of foot on the main Encinitas street, we went on a Sunday evening around 3. No reservation. We enjoyed a table outside around a peruvian ceviche with their special sauce, beans and cheeseEmpanadas l took a Chicha drink to try. A delicious culinary experience and very faaast service???? money wise between and . l will come again to try more things

I am Peruvian and this restaurant has a very bad Peruvian seasoning. I ate the worst lomo saltado I've ever eaten in my life, seasoned in such a strange and DIFFERENT way. So if you expect to eat Peruvian, this is definitely the place you SHOULD NOT go.It was disappointing. In the same way, aji de gallina, chicha morada, all not very tasty :
