This restaurant has terrible customer service. With all the competition of the other Peruvian restaurants in the area you'd think they'd try to stand out. I wouldn't bother going here unless you like bad customer service and being ignored.

The pallea was better than I had in Madrid! And the cebiche was very original. The lamb shank was excellent as well. I'd recommend this place for original ethnic Peruvian dishes.

Food is good and decent. A little pricey though. Someone actually changed the tip we left on the credit card to a way higher value. Luckly we were contacted by our credit card company. Not cool!!! Be aware!

The seafood was outstanding. We started with a tasty traditional Peruvian cebiche and the portion was very generous and two of us could almost not finish all of it. We also had a chicken empanada, which while the crust was nice and flakey, the creamy chicken mixture inside was somewhat tasteless and reminded me of Campbell's cream of chicken soup. The Pescadeo a lo Macho was absolutely divine, a lightly battered sea bass (not sure if the fish changes daily) that was light and delicate, smothered with a yummy sauce (not too spicy at all) and additional seafood such as mussels, clams & calamari, etc. I am in love with this dish. This was a huge plate of food and luckily I didn't touch the white rice as there wouldn't have had room for it. BTW, they do not have brown rice as a substitute. My companion had the paella and was a little disappointed in that while it too was a huge portion, it didn't seem to the right ratio of seafood, or maybe I didn't notice that he scarfed down the seafood and was left with a big plate of rice. We had a bottle of Peruvian Malbec which we enjoyed. Our server was exceptional, very observant, and there when we needed him but no hovering about. I liked this place and would go back.

Had the salmon plate for dinner which was really good especially with the passionfruit sauce. I originally wanted their Peruvian rice seafood dish but the dish is precooked with seafood mixed in already (same as the Spanish paella dish) and I'm allergic to crustaceans so I was disappointed with that.

Great authentic Peruvian food. First time here, and was pleasantly surprised on how big the place is and tech savvy! The staff is friendly and the food is good size. Even there are a few big parties (including ours), it didn't feel too loudspeaker as it is quiet spacious.

Don't judge a book by its cover as this place serves some really authentic and delicious Peruvian food. Cebiche, yuca, calamari, and more! A true delight and surprise. All priced right too!
