    Tacos are very juicy and flavorful. Their restaurant is in the same plaza as the truck.

    Some of the best tacos I've ever had! The staff inside are friendly! Definitely recommend their asada and chicken tacos!

    Very good place to get your Peruvian food fix. The menu is pretty diverse. We got the classic lomo…read moresaltado and tried the ceviche de pescado. They first gave us bread that was garlic bread surprisingly with the aji sauce. It was delicious and spicy and garlicky. The ceviche de pescado was excellent. It had that tangy citrus orange marinade with lime and with the nuts and corn nuts. The white fish was soft and cooked thoroughly and delicious. The lomo came out in huge portions that surprised me (basically two meals). The sauce and fries went well together with the onions rice and tomatoes. The meat was decent and it all went together well. The table came in a lazy Susan style for family style sharing which is convenient. The waiter was very nice but not very attentive as we had to ask for water and check & boxes by intentionally getting their attention and walking to them for assistance. The decor is very chill and homely with a variety of music in the background. The whole place is very red and decorated with various Peruvian cultural references. Prices are fairly reasonable for the portions you get.

    Staff was very friendly and helpful; they speak Spanish of course. Inside the restaurant, they had…read moreabout 5-6 large tables that fit probably 8 people a table. They're located on the outskirts of a plaza that is a little run down. Food is fantastic and authentic. I had some things that I love (like tallarín con carne and maracuyá) and tried some new items (like chupe de camarón and sudado pescado). Sad to say that the desserts (flan and lucuma) ran out, so maybe call in advance if that's something you're coming specifically for.

    Limited parking in the back and street parking…read more I came here years ago but I remembered one item I ordered. Til this day I still remember the taste. I took my husband here and we both ordered the FISH N CHIPS. I really enjoyed it! The batter is panko and not that nasty beer batter. The fish they use is bass and not the cheap fish. Also! It has flavor! One thing though! This time it was cooked a bit long for it being a fish. The panko turns a bit dark. Overall! I can say this is one of the best place for fish n chips!

    We came here because it's one of the only "sushi" restaurants within a reasonable distance for us…read moreon the InKind App. We think they're going for Asian Mexican fusion? The food isn't bad but for the price, we probably wouldn't come back. Here's what we got: 1) Creamy mushroom chicken: I got this because I thought it was à la carte but it comes with rice, salad, and bread (which I do not want). The cream and the chicken are actually pretty good but it could use more chicken and mushrooms. 2) Dodger roll: I didn't try this but my wife said she wouldn't get this again for the price. 3) Fresas con crema: this was whatever. It's just strawberries and cream cheese (with some banana I think?) with a chocolate coating and blueberry on top. 4) Bone marrow tacos: this is probably the best thing on the menu. It's a little misleading but it's actually bone marrow plus meat (I think it's short rib). A little pricey but this one is probably worth it in my opinion. Overall, we wouldn't come here again because of the price but staff are really nice and food isn't bad.

    Not bad, not bad!! Truly was a surprise tbh. We were in the SGV area so wanted to eat something…read moretasty and found this on Yelp. A great find indeed! Couldn't find the spot at first in the plaza but it is located near a McDonald's. Looked big from outside but was a decent size inside with a good amount of tables and seating space. Service was really fast, got seated quick and they were fast to take our orders which was crazy at first but they were on it with service so I appreciated that. Even the food came out pretty fast. Saw that the Beef Noodle Soup was good so I had to try it, the beef broth was delicious and I love bok choy so they had me at bok choy! Beef was nicely cooked too, I liked it! Dan Dan noodles were okay and it felt like it was spicy peanut butter but still good, just not my favorite. But the pork dumplings (xiao long bao) was YUMMY. It really hit the spot when we grabbed one each and the warmth and taste was delicious. Definitely my favorite! Pork and crab dumplings were good too! I was just too full at that point to have more of it all. I'd say this place satisfied my hunger and I left there super full so I'll comeback again :)

The beef noodle soup was absolutely the highlight! I honestly wish we ordered three of these. We will absolutely be coming back. The service was really good. They had folks sweeping and cleaning the entire time, and whenever we needed somebody to help, they immediately came over. We also had a lot of questions about the menu, and they were super helpful there too.
