I love the Hugo's Classico that comes with fried seafood and ceviche along with leche de Tigre that's very sour but in the best of ways The lomo saltado is delicious And so is they're arroz chaufa which you can choose the protein type (shrimp, chicken, beef or mix))

This was our second time eating here. The first time, we dined in the storefront section, which is…read morevery bare-bones with just a few tables. Even so, the food and service were great. Recently, we discovered that there's a much larger part of the restaurant in the back, accessible through the alley off the main street via the rear parking lot. The space is decorated with Peruvian art and vibrant colors. To start, we ordered anticuchos (grilled beef heart skewers). The marinade is packed with delicious. I honestly thought I was eating steak. I ordered the chupe de camarones (shrimp chowder soup). I cannot stress enough how big this bowl of soup is. They do not skimp on the shrimp! It's probably one of the best chupes I've ever had. I ended up taking a large container of it home. Likewise, my partner ordered the chaufa mixto (Peruvian fried rice with chicken, steak, and shrimp). Always ask for the green sauce, absolutely delicious! Just like with my soup, he also had plenty of leftovers. To wash it all down, we ordered chicha (a purple corn drink), which was so good. This place is known for its rotisserie chicken, so we ordered a half chicken to go for the following day. I understand why it's everyone's go-to here, juicy and flavorful. We don't live nearby, but the food, friendly service, and generous portions of delicious dishes make it well worth the trip.

The ambience is cool and appealing, the music was a little loud, especially during the DJ party. The furnishing is warm. The place has been redone by new ownership (2026). The service was inconsistent at best. Be prepared, they don't serve tap water, just expensive fancy bottled water. The food came out to us with deffering amonts of delay, and they entirely forgot about one of the people's order twice, even after reminding them. On the 3rd time the waiter completely washed their hands of it and claimed ignorance about the placed order, then informed us they did not have the ordered item. When we wanted to replace the order they told us the kitchen was now closed. The person remained hungry since they couldn't eat any of the other foods people ordered. Normally I would give a place the benefit of the doubt, and write it of to being busy, but this was not good!

Grabbed lunch here with a friend. My 1st time here. Large venue with more of an old school…read morerestaurant vibe, than a "Cuban" theme/vibe. It has a separate restaurant and bar area. We sat at the bar. Service was friendly & attentive, food wait times were respectable. Metered street parking on a street that can be tricky to get parking. We had the Cubano Cuban, Beef empanadas, & Coconut shrimp. I also had the 'Renegade' drink. The renegade was really good, I enjoyed the empanadas and their sauce. I wasn't a fan of the coconut shrimps sauce, it was too runny, not solid consistency at all. The shrimp itself didn't contribute much, so the sauce was what needed to bring it home. The Cuban was flavorful, but we both agreed that the pork was dry. I'd give them another shot if invited, but I wouldn't go back on my own.

Ordered dinner from La Fagota last night for my wife and my in-laws. When we got home, we realized…read morean entire meal was missing (the skirt steak). We called immediately and they kept hanging up on us. So we drove back. After waiting about 10 minutes, someone finally spoke to us and tried to argue and "explain the receipt" instead of actually listening. I told him we were missing the skirt steak and he said he "guarantees" it was in the bag. We showed pictures proving it wasn't, and he responded that they "have cameras." We asked him to check the cameras then -- because the mistake clearly wasn't ours and the rest of our food at home was already getting cold. After wasting even more time, he finally came back and said he'd remake the meal, and then admitted they made a mistake. We then had to wait another 20 minutes for the missing meal. The food here is usually great, which makes this even more disappointing. But the customer service tonight was unacceptable -- and they didn't even offer a discount, credit, or anything to make up for the inconvenience.

The green sauce is perfect for all their dishes. I wish they would sell it in jars because I want to buy it. My colleagues also love all types of their fried rice. I have been going here since 2020. Last time I forgot my sunglasses at the table -- I blame the delicious sangria. Anyway, they were not particularly expensive but were of sentimental value. I was headed to the airport by the time I realized. I called them and they packed it nicely and shipped it to my home. Ten thumbs up!

I was treated very, very well in helping me choose today's lunch special selection.

While shopping at the nearby Animal Crackers I saw Mana across the street and decided to drop in to…read moregrab lunch to go. Mana is a nice space with a huge mural painted on one wall with several tables spread out in the restaurant with a comfortable distance between them. To the right is the counter where you order and pay. The restaurant is clean and welcoming and I would have been happy to dine in had I not been running errands. The food is mostly laid out on a steam table behind the counter. I saw different kinds of chicken, pernil, potato salad, green salad, empenadas and more. I wound up ordering yellow rice with black beans and a baked chicken leg. I also ordered a side of Maduros and a chicken empanada. Here's how I found everything (keeping in mind I took it home to reheat before I ate it): Chicken Empanada Unlike most empanadas I get nowadays, this one seemed to have been fried, with a crispy, yellow outer shell. The crunch was fantastic and I really liked the flavor. The chicken inside was super tasty and I immediately wished I had ordered another of these. Maduros I LOVE a good plantain but they are surprisingly hard to find. I would say if I go to five restaurants with them perhaps only two will have really good ones. Maduros should have a nice chewiness, maybe even a bit of caramelization on the outside with a wonderfully sweet flavor. I am happy to report that Mana has exactly this and it was great! Chicken & Rice with Beans The rice with beans were good and had some veggies mixed in. I've had better and I've had worse, so this falls straight in "B" territory. The chicken was the same - tasty, well cooked, moist but the flavor was average. Flavor-wise this is a good dish (not amazing). That said, the *serving size* was tremendous and there was enough rice for me to have over two meals and for that it deserves high marks! I really enjoyed the food from Mana. Sure it's not the best ever, but it was good and priced reasonably. I'd definitely go again.

The $2.00 with cheese and beans were even worse. Paid $48 for $24 bad pupusas! The tomato sauce was watery and the cabbage was flavorless. I called and spoke to owner to let her know she messed up the order and that they were lacking ingredients. She said she could've sworn she did them right but none the less i could pick up my money. I was looking for an apology and maybe a do over. Didn't get that. I said no I don't want my money just want you know for your future clients. Hopefully she's a little more generous with ingredients. Otherwise you'll be having an expensive tortilla.
