Great food, friendly service and good value. The ceviche in the picture was super fresh and delicious. I had read some of the reviews before coming and didn’t notice any issues with service.

Nice，It's delicious. The deep-fried fish coated in powder is a little salty otherwise it would be very good. I was too busy talking to eat and forgot to shoot the huge plate of meat .

I finally got to try out this local spot after years of driving by. My entire party was very happy with the food. The portions are crazy big. Food was very tasty and well prepared. The wait staff was extremely helpful with my questions and very nice as well. Sometimes it was a bit difficult to flag someone down for help. The atmosphere and decor is lacking. The place is clean but dated. But aside from that I would definitely return here. The food and portions are worth it.

Insane value for the money. The 11 dollar weekday lunch special is a better portion of food than I’ve seen anywhere outside of select shops in Chinatown, and it comes with ceviche or soup, a rice and beans plate with steak or chicken or pork, and a drink. Crazy! The lomo saltado was fantastic too, and was enough food to feed 4 people easily (and was only 18 bucks). Some of the best Peruvian food I’ve had outside of Peru.

This place had excellent food, went for lunch and they had a great lunch special for $10.00. The food was all good but the parking situation is not very good. Definitely will go back
