“ This place is a blissful haven for seafood lovers. Everyone in my dinner party was impressed with the quality and quantity of the food. The seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked. The lomo saltado was savory, with juicy strips of sirloin. The Jalea is definitely a dish to share. The service was perfect. We ate indoors, but the garden area looked serene and beautiful. Next time. ”
“ Great little Restaurant/Bar with great food and service! The restaurant was very clean and the music was perfect. Juliana was fantastic! We will definitely be returning to something different from the menu. ”
“ This place defied my expectations! The food was honestly delicious and it has a great ambience/atmosphere. We got the ceviche mixto, seco de cabrito and arroz con mariscos. Highly recommend all of those dishes ”
“ Very generous portion sizes is the thing that stands out most. We got the fried seafood appetizer (first picture), it was a great combo with a nice tartar sauce and some onions/tomatoes to balance out the dish. I got the rice dish that came with beef, shrimp, and seafood and it was very flavorful and delicious. The meat had great flavor, and the spices in the rice were unique in a good way, and the veggies (snap peas, and green onion) mixed perfectly with the rice. The margarita was on the stronger/less sweet side. ”
“ Great, atmosphere and ambiance. Good music and spacious location. Has a seating area, a bar and a sushi station (not open at the moment). The food was great and authentic Peruvian food. We had fried calamari, grill seafood and Inca chaufa-delicious. Strong drinks, which si great, you get what you pay for. We had a sangria and a pisco sour flavor passion fruit-yum! Definitely recommend. ”
“ Delicious place Que rico.Pe the drinks and the food ... ”
“ So happy that they opened a Peruvian spot like this in the neighborhood. The food is amazing with classic dishes. The only thing I would say is that the drink was pretty watery and lacked flavor. But the food was amazing! Wish I had taken better pictures to do the food justice ”
“ Great food and atmosphere. They have an outdoor area that is really nicely decorated. Def recommend for apps the calamari & octopus, it was delicious, so good I forgot to take pics. They have veg &gf options available which is a plus, went with someone who is celiac and they ordered the lomo saltado without soy which was still tasty. They serve corn and some fried plantains to start which is always great. ”
