Reviews
This is the place for a great Peruvian food. The owner was nice and accommodating. I got the 1/2 Rotisserie chicken with house salad and I requested for the cilantro rice instead of white rice. He charged extra $ for it. The chicken was perfect. Moist and you can taste all the spices it was marinated in. The salad dressing is also delicious same with the cilantro rice. It's a small restaurant and it's clean. For sure, will be coming back to try the rest in their menu.
Delicious food and very inviting staff. The lomo was so good and the food came out pretty quick.
Hole in the wall restaurants always have the best food. Been coming here for 20 years and have not been disappointed. My family and I oftenly order aji de gallina, lomo saltado, tallarines verde con bistec, jalea, arroz con mariscos and seafood picante.
I spotted this gem of a restaurant a while back and, despite its "hole-in-a-wall" appearance, I found it to be an excellent venue, especially since I had an itch for Ahi de Gallina, which another Peruvian restaurant up the street does not serve. Don't be off-put by it's location either; your taste buds will never regret what they'll never know/taste.... Even though we arrived here about half an hour before closing, the staff welcomed us with a smile! The service was friendly and quick! I found the Ahi de Gallina to be delicious, although the yellow sauce seemed a bit too salty. I also tried my wife's Lomo Saltado, which I found to be very flavorful! The only problem I have with this restaurant is what to order the next time I visit: will it be the Lomo Saltado, Chaufas, Pan con Chicharones, or the Lomo Saltacos? You can bet I'll be back for more!
I've been dying to try this place. heard so much about them the beef empanadas ...best empanada I've ever had in my life. Will definitely be back soon.
