From quality of food to the great selection of draft beers..I was more than contempt, I was satisfied with my selection..their $1/wing special and $6 draft beers on game days, I think this has to be one of the most underrated deals in the city. With an extensive menu of great food items I'm more than positive that each dish will exceed my expectations. Best place to catch a drink and watch a game while the mrs. goes shopping

    A friend of mine suggested we go and try this place. It is…read morelocated inside Fashion Valley right in fron of the covered parking which is convenient. We got there on a weekday around 12pm. At the entrance it said Wait to be Seated. We waited almost 10 minutes and no one came to us. When we saw it was only one person being the host/waiter/ bartender. He didn't even acknowledge us. We sat where we wanted. They had tables inside and outside. We opted for inside since it was very hot. Bad choice it was as hot inside as outside. I don't know if they had the a/c broken only fans. Very hot and uncomfortable. Tables needed cleaning. We ordered our drinks, I had a Watermelon Mojito and my friend a beer. They had a special of three tacos and a beer for $20. We choose the lunch special of tacos with short rib and fish. We also had the Monster Salad. Food is a mix of appetizers, burgers and a few salads. Service left a lot to desire since it was only one person running from table to table. Salad came first but we waited for the tacos. Food was average, nothing out of this world. At least the pricing was decent for the quality. It was not really an up to standard good place to eat in my opinion.

Three people, who came in after us and without a reservation, were led to a table before us. One star off. At the end of our meal, there were 2 rolls of garlic bread left in the basket. The waitress, without asking us, took the bread away. I preferred to take the bread home instead of throwing them away or put in for another customer. Another star off. Another star off for service. No one ever came to refill the water glasses or coffee. We had to constantly ask. We saw other tables got extra paper napkins without asking but we were not given the same treatment. One star for service. Food overall was good and deserved a 4 star. Crispy buffalo cauliflower although small but had a good texture. Baby back rib was tender with meat falling the bone easily. Caesar salad was crisp with a good dressing, felt refreshing. Food quality good but services need improvement.

Our server was very attentive and I heard him explain all the plates to a table next to us. He was even wearing a Peruvian NT jersey! We weren't that hungry so we shared the fish ceviche and the lomo sandwich! The ceviche was very tasty and the leche the tigre tasted just right! All the authentic ingredients...next time I'd order it a bit more spicy. The fish did not taste that fresh so I wonder what they were using buy overall I'd say this is the best Peruvian ceviche I've had in SD....taste wise. The lomo sandwich was huge! My girlfriend and I split it and she couldn't finish her half. All the dishes looked very generously portioned which is very good for the price point. The sauce on the sandwich gave it a unique taste. 4 stars for now but because I didnt try the lomo saltado and the freshness of the fish in the ceviche. Will definitely return!
