I am not the expert on Peruvian food given my limited experience and tastings but what I do know is…read morethat this was an awesome experience! I was invited by some relatives for late lunch and even at 2pm, the place was packed so I already knew it had to be good. It was also intimate with chic decor and vibrant accents pieces so very fun and Instagram worthy decor happening here. As far as food goes, the servers were friendly enough to help me navigate the menu and land on the seafood options. I had the Arroz con Mariscos and it was presented beautifully, was sizable, and most importantly had incredible flavor. The calamari was a highlight of the dish. It was cooked perfectly. My family enjoyed their food as well and cleared their plates. Though I can't recall what they ordered, I know it was delicious. I stole bites. The plantain side dish also stands out in my mind as a must! I don't live particularly close by and it was a hike coming out but I have it book marked for a future pop in!

Sweet: We ordered this 3 entree option combo. You get 3 different options - ceviche, jalea And a seafood rice dish. Great deal!! It's less than $55 for the whole meal. Everything was delicious and packed with so much flavor. They give you different dipping sauces that are so good. The service was excellent and very helpful. Sour: my only sour is that they don't have a location in SoCal. Kidding!

They were fried perfectly and the ceviche was amazing! The Lomo Saltado was cooked perfectly. You really need to try this place out. I can't wait to come back here and try their other menu items.

There were only a few other parties seated, but it could've been the early afternoon hour we chose. Sitting outside would definitely be nice, but this was a day where Florida had yet to acknowledge that fall is here. Our waitress was attentive and kind, especially considering my two coworkers both had severe allergies. I ordered the fettuccine with the peruvian style huancaina sauce and chicken. Absolutely delicious! My coworkers had the lomo saltado and a ceviche bowl, both of which I'm told were delightful. Will definitely be back! Unfortunately, it may be priced out of my frequent favorites, but it would be a great special occasion location.

Wow!!! This place was amazing!!…read more It was a first time visit for us, and this restaurant is located in a well-lit shopping strip on Narcoossee, just a few minutes from the 528. This place was a vibe, so much so that we are actually supposed to go to a neighboring restaurant last night; however after driving past this place, we had to change our plans. The food was exceptional. Between my wife and I, we split 1 entree and shared an appetizer. My wife isn't very adventurous when it comes to eating but for whatever reason caved in when the server suggested their octopus as an appetizer. That appetizer was super unique!! It was basically this extremely thin octopus swimming in this very delicate layer of ceviche, with an accompanying side of wantons. For our entree we ordered the Rissoto with braised beef. This was most excellent with a very flavorful 8-hour slow cooked beef with a sweet flavor, whose flavors were contrasted by the very amazing rissoto. I initially ordered a Coke, but ended up trying their Peruvian crème soda which was maybe the best crème soda I'd ever tried! My wife ordered a sweet rum that was red and had this awesome smoke bubble on it as it was presented to the table. Our server, Gabriela (Gabi) was very friendly and most assistive and patient as we asked a few more questions than normal as we'd never tried Peruvian food before. She was pretty attentive to our table and remained kind and professional. We were so happy last night after our dinner that we went ahead and booked our daughter's 18th birthday dinner here for early March when we'll bring 18 of our relatives from out of town back here to enjoy what we did last night. Great great find!! Cannot wait to go back!

Spectacular (I may be biased, I love salads & shrimp). Service is always attentive and friendly. A bit pricey, but always worth it.

As a Peruvian, this is one of my favorite Peruvian restaurant in Orlando!…read more The atmosphere is casual and staff are very friendly as well. If you want to start with an appetizer their papa la huancaina is pretty good. My only critique is that the sauce is more on the liquid side, but that's a personal preference. I still recommend trying it out. For an entree though, I highly recommend either going with the lomo saltado or ceviche as those dishes never disappoint! If you are ever craving Peruvian food, then look no further this is your place.

Came with great sauce in it and an over easy egg on top. Delicious!! Place inside is smaller but very nice. Cool art on the walls. Server didn't speak English at all (and I don't mean like they're still learning, it was clear no attempt has been made yet) which was a little awkward. When we had simple questions like "what kind of rice is in this dish?" he had to go get the manager lol. Small hiccup though, overall a good meal

What was brought to the table appeared to be sautéed onions with garlic. I politely explained that this wasn't what I was expecting and that I had anticipated a sauce with a thinner consistency. At that point, the server's tone became noticeably confrontational and he insisted that what had been served was the sauce I was describing. The interaction became uncomfortable, and the server continued to give us what felt like dirty looks for the remainder of our visit. The situation left us feeling unwelcome and ultimately made us want to leave. I've included a photo so others can decide for themselves whether what was served matches the description of a garlic/mojo sauce.

We got out table right away and we received chanchita chulpi immediately. It was really good because it tasted very fresh. The order took a bit longer than expected and I noticed that it happened to all the tables. I tried the makis acevichados. The taste was good, but they are not the peruvian makis I have tried for years in Peru. This was something different, but still good. The tacu tacu with lomo saltado, though. It was really good. I liked when it comes with a tick sauce instead of just water. The tacu tacu may have needed to get crispy a little bit, but the flavor was amazing. Finally, they only have option of glass of chicha morada. The taste was really good, I could feel the spices.
