Recomiendo a quienes visiten este restaurante que revisen cuidadosamente tanto la calidad de la comida como el detalle de la cuenta antes de pagar. Basándome en mi experiencia, no puedo recomendar este lugar, lamentablemente mi experiencia fue muy decepcionante. La comida no parecía fresca y daba la impresión de haber sido recalentada. Empeze con la yuca a la huancaína, pero la salsa estaba demasiado espesa, no tenía el sabor ni los ingredientes característicos de una auténtica huancaína y no se parecía a la foto publicada en la página web del restaurante. Además, la yuca parecía congelada. Como plato principal pedi filete de pescado y corvina, un pescado tradicional peruano que además era uno de los platos más costosos del menú. El pesacdo llego frío, seco y sin sabor fresco. Los frijoles de acompañamiento estaba seco y sin buen sabor, y el plátano maduro estaba excesivamente maduro y muy grasoso. Llamé al mesero para mostrarle mi plato y expresarle mi inconformidad. Le indiqué que no quería comerlo y no pedí otro plato debido a mi decepción con la calidad de la comida. Cuando llegó la cuenta, me cobraron el plato que no consumí y además habían incluido automáticamente un 20 % de propina. Esto no fue claramente informado y solo lo noté al preguntar por un cargo adicional en la cuenta. Solicité hablar con el gerente y resultó ser la misma persona que me había atendido. Mi queja no fue tomada en consideración y terminé pagando la cuenta completa. In English: As a Peruvian, I know what authentic Peruvian food should taste like, and this experience fell far below expectations. I encourage diners to carefully review both their food and their bill before paying. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant and unfortunately my experience was very disappointing. The food did not taste fresh and seemed reheated. I started with the yuca a la huancaína, but the sauce was overly thick, lacked the authentic flavor and ingredients, and did not resemble the dish shown on the restaurant's website. The yuca itself tasted like frozen yuca. For main course, I ordered fish fillet and corvina, a traditional Peruvian fish that was also one of the more expensive menu items. The dish arrived cold, dry, and lacking freshness. The side of beans was dry and flavorless, and the sweet plantains were overly ripe and extremely greasy. I brought these concerns to the waiter's attention and showed him my plate, explaining that I did not want to eat the dish. I did not order a replacement because I was dissatisfied with the quality of the food. When the bill arrived, I was charged for the meal I did not eat, and a 20% gratuity had already been added. This was not clearly disclosed, and I only discovered it after questioning an additional charge on the bill. When I asked to speak with the manager, I learned it was the same person who had served us. My concerns were not addressed, and I was required to pay the full amount.

It was so tasty and they gave a great pour! For my entree, I ordered the Peito de frango mocombique - which is chicken breast served in a spicy sauce. The sides were rice and French fries. The chicken was not spicy at all, but it was moist and very flavorful. The ff and rice were really good, too. Would definitely order this dish again. My friend ordered the bacalhau a bras - which is COD fish Braz style. It was chopped up and served with egg and sautéed onions. It was tasty! Could have used more seasoning or salt. But she did enjoy it! The restaurant itself is beautiful and calm. The server was great! We really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely be back.

This is a must try place. We took a chance because there are not many reviews, however we were in…read morethe area and were hungry so we tried it. My wife had the shrimp mofongo and it was fairly thin sauce that had a lot of flavor and she loved it. The owner asked us at the end if she liked it because many people like thicker sauce and he usually asked for preference of thickness. It was very evident that this man truly cares about his food. I got beef Flautas (Costa Rican version) and they were handmade and as good as I have ever had, the beef was juicy and flavorful and fried perfect. I also got a lychee fresh juice and it was delicious. Give this place a try because the owner cares, it is all fresh and it show in the taste of the food.

For the guarana soda, I was instantly addicted. If I ever come here again I would try a whole different meal and avoid their rice.

I was very surprised to find a Latin style eatery in a food court. This is similar to the cafeteria style of ordering. And most of available options are right in front of you in the steam table. Typical offerings with the standard white and yellow rice and bean, bbq ribs,chicken roasted and fried, beef stew,pork and yucca soup,salad,roasted pork shoulder,empanadas There are a few items that can be made to order as well, such as the tostones. It was about 1:30 and the food was pretty fresh and tasty. Only wish they add some juices to the pork which tends to be a bit dry. Takes them all of 5mins to put you order together once you make up your mind.

I had the pleasure of visiting Ritrovo for the first time today with my business partner while…read morepicking up lunch for one of our physician offices, and I can't say enough about our experience. From the moment we walked in, Jaime, who was working behind the bar, made us feel genuinely welcome. He was kind, personable, and attentive in a way that's becoming increasingly rare. He even brewed fresh iced tea from scratch with tea bags and hot water while we waited. It's the little things that leave a lasting impression. And somehow, even the club soda tasted exceptional; maybe because everything about the atmosphere felt intentional and welcoming. I ordered the burger, and although they were out of gluten-free buns, they happily served it over their gluten-free penne pasta instead. It was such a thoughtful accommodation. Ironically, because my day in pharmaceutical sales became so busy, I never had a chance to eat my lunch. I brought it home, reheated it that evening, and that's when something unexpected happened. The very first bite of their homemade sauce stopped me in my tracks. Instantly, I was transported back to my grandfather's kitchen. I haven't tasted a sauce that reminded me of his in over 15 years. For a moment, I wasn't sitting at my own table; I was back with him. I found myself slowing down, savoring every bite, grateful for a memory I didn't know a meal could bring back. Great restaurants don't just serve food. They create experiences, care for people, and sometimes awaken memories you thought were gone forever. Thank you, Jaime, and thank you to everyone at Ritrovo. You turned an ordinary workday into something I'll remember for a very long time. I'll absolutely be back.

I finally visited around 3:15 on a recent Saturday afternoon. The space is very nice and includes high ceilings, cool light fixtures, light colored woods and white chairs. Service is helpful, efficient and friendly. I asked for a recommendation because I like ramen, pho, curry noodles and the other soups on the menu. The server recommended Curry Crispy Chicken Noodles, but she warned I might think they're spicy. I loved these noodles. The curry broth was flavorful, but not too spicy. The noodles had great texture. The crispy chicken was very satisfying. The potatoes and carrots were well executed. The punches of cilantro were very fresh. It was a great bowl of noodles. If I lived nearby, I'd be back soon to explore more of the menu. In any event, I'll make sure I come back. 5 Stars

I tried their tequenos which has like a pillsbury croissant dough taste with cheese in the inside and they were delicious! I wish they warmed up a bit more but that's okay. I also tried their chicken empanadas and I love the cornmeal (i think?) dough they use to make them! The chicken could have been a little bit more tender and moist. I also had an arepa with their shredded beef and loaded it with toppings and just wow. it was seriously delectable, i was so impressed! and i did also get their cachapa and the cachapa alone had such a good taste, the sweet flavor blew me away. I got it with their pork carnitas which were just okay but with everything paired together, i enjoyed it. would definitely come back!

Definitely not entirely authentic Venezuelan arepas but still decent quality food. The best part…read moreabout authentic arepas is they are served very hot and are slightly crispy on the outside from grilling, but fluffy on the inside. These were served slightly warmed and dry on the inside. Still a good introduction to Venezuelan cuisine but it felt americanized. It felt like the food had been sitting a little too long too. I would have liked to see signature arepas alongside the full "make your own" such as pabellón or reina pepiada. I cannot speak on the authenticity of the other dishes they offered, but if you are looking for true authentic arepas this is not exactly the place. Although it was not a bad experience either. It was very clean inside the restaurant and the worker was pleasant.
