Description

This Peruvian restaurant garners a spectrum of reactions. While some rave about the exceptional service, including attentive staff and quick delivery, others express disappointment in certain dishes, notably the alfajor and chicken soup, which some found overpriced and lacking in quality. However, favorites like jalea, arroz chaufa, and lomo saltado receive praise for their flavor and affordability. Several diners highlight the vibrant taste of the food and its generous portions, particularly the juicy Peruvian chicken complemented by various sauces. Despite some flaws, the overall experience seems to appeal to those seeking genuine Peruvian cuisine.

Amazing service and attention. Food was just right and great temperature to eat. 10/10 Update: They're still an excellent restaurant. One time, even the chef came to ask how we were doing. Great service, I'm impressed. Even during deliveries, theyare very quick and have a perfect handoff. Well done! ????

I had a very random craving for chaufa, which was odd because I'd never actually had chaufa before. But, I'd seen a photo of the dish earlier in the week, and was reminded of it not too long after I'd consumed an edible; one thing led to another and here we are. True story! In any case, I ordered a mixed chaufa and a slice of tres leches. I've always considered fried rice a side dish, but THIS fried rice eats like a meal. The beef, chicken and shrimp were all tender and the meal as a whole was so flavorful! The tres leches was delicious as well. Unfortunately all the leche had spilled out of the container. Room for improvement in the packaging here: a tres leches without the leches is just tres and that's nada. My edible was in full effect as I wrote this. Also, a true story. Fin!

I really enjoyed eating here, but it seems they hired a new waitress, a Colombian girl, who lacks the right attitude. The food was not great, and my companion's order took 18 minutes to arrive. To make matters worse, she was singing loudly and sweeping right in front of the customers, which I found very disrespectful. I won’t be returning to this restaurant. They've lost a customer and should definitely pay more attention to their staff!

The food is enjoyable, but at times the chicken can be overly salty. Additionally, the girl at the counter was quite unfriendly; when I asked her if the chicken was cut into eight pieces, she just rolled her eyes and responded with an attitude.
