It honestly felt like I was back in Peru, sitting in my mamita's kitchen enjoying a homemade meal. The service was excellent and our server was so attentive and kind throughout our visit. My fiancée absolutely loved the food too and already said that whenever we are back in Boston, this is the place we have to come to. If you're looking for real, comforting Peruvian flavors and a great dining experience, I highly recommend this spot!!!

Don't let the place's exterior fool you: it's actually spacious and clean, has a backyard, and the…read morestaff is very friendly. The food portions are generous and--naturally--packed with diverse flavors, textures, and great seasoning (including the vegetarian dishes). In my opinion, the one thing I'd change is the way they "restrict" the salsas; at first, they only give you two small containers. Sure, you can ask for more, but it's still rationed, and eventually, asking for extra starts to feel like a hassle.

We were seated at the kitchen bar which was perfect for us, but we really only saw a few dishes being prepped and our server was not behind the counter. Our server, I believe named Ana, was excellent! Drinks were surprisingly delicious for a restaurant, probably the highlight for me. For the most part food was good but not great in my opinion. We had the pork belly bao, green beans, patatas bravas and duck paella. My bf loved the duck. The other items were just ok.

It had a good flavor. I then got the guacamole and salsa with the chicharrones on top, and yes, that was my meal. The presentation of the guacamole and chips was cute. It was in a cat bowl. I liked everything about the dish. The two side salsas both tasted great. The chicharrones and guacamole were a good pairing. I have not had them together before. It is now a favorite of mine. All I have to say is that the food was really good. Entering this restaurant was like stepping into a different place. The place was completely transformed into something, lol. The music playing was fun. It is a must-try place. I found the customer service good. The waitress was friendly. She checked on me. I enjoyed every minute I spent here. It was a cool restaurant.

Thank you, Muqueca, for warming me up…read more Fish with Shrimp Moqueca: Made in the Capixaba recipe, this version replaced red palm oil and coconut milkthem with tomatoes--which happened to be my favorite. The broth was warm, flavorful, and refreshing. The initial notes are the sweetness of onions and bell peppers, followed by the delicate aroma of cilantro, leaving a clean taste impression. The whitefish fillets are tender and flavorful, yet still retain a subtle chewiness. The Pirão sauce, made with the fish broth and tapioca starch, was rich and thick, enhancing both the saltiness and umami, even reminiscent of Cantonese style abalone sauce. The two flavors were distinct yet complementary, a true delight with rice--though fresh, higher-quality Thai jasmine rice would be better. The earthenware pot, bearing the marks of time, kept the food warm; the portion was also very generous, perfect for sharing. I ended up taking some home for a second meal. Flan: Although I was quite full, the deliciousness of the moqueca piqued my interest in trying dessert. The pudding had a smooth and delicate texture, unlike the often sticky flaky texture of supermarket flans. The egg flavor wasn't strong, while the caramel syrup was rich and smooth, with an irresistible initial bitterness followed by a delightful sweetness. Plus, the syrup was generous, making it wonderful to coat every slice of cake in it. No wonder it's their signature dessert. Hot Sauce: The homemade hot sauce was highly recommended by my server. It didn't look very spicy, but it was far beyond my tolerance. However, I must admit it was incredibly delicious, with a refreshing citrus flavor and a smooth, emulsified texture alongside the spiciness, creating a very rich flavor profile. Being unable to handle spice is a real shame in its presence. The server's movements were elegant, the service attentive, the pace comfortable, and he satisfied some of my curiosity as a cuisine lover.

That said, the service was extremely slow. There was a long wait for outdoor seating, and they seemed very slow to turn over tables once people left. We waited at least 40 minutes, 15-20 minutes of which there were 3-4 patio tables sitting empty. Even beyond the wait, service throughout the meal moved at a very slow pace. It was busy outside, but the restaurant definitely didn't seem at capacity overall. The food, fortunately, was much better than the service. The burger was especially good, and the panzanella salad had really fresh ingredients and great flavor. My only complaint there was that the tomato and cucumber pieces were chopped so small they were hard to pick up, and the vegetable portion felt a bit skimpy. We also tried the whipped honey iced coffee, which was just okay.

We sat for 20 minutes while every waiter looked at us and did nothing. One girl stared at us the whole time while she folded napkins. I asked a waiter for help and he walked off and never sent anyone. The same person who seated us kept looking over at us, and still nobody came. After 20 minutes we finally asked for help again, and another 5 minutes went by before anyone did anything. On top of that, we came a few weeks earlier while they were clearly open and were told they were closed, with more than two hours left until closing time. A whole staff of people who will stare at you and not offer one bit of help or send anyone to your table. Nobody tried to fix the wait or make it right. I will never come back to this place.
