We also loved the beets with garlic sauce, the potatoes, and the citrusy carrots, which added a refreshing balance to the meal. For dessert, the pavlova was good, though more tart and lemon-forward than we expected. The Punetazo cocktail was unique and worth trying. Service from Francesca was fantastic, attentive throughout the meal. Free on-site parking is available, and reservations are definitely recommended.

Bread service is available- served with butter (sorry vegans). The beet dish was beautiful and tasty; I was looking forward to this dish and it didn't disappoint. The leeks were good as well - topped with nuts (hazelnuts?). I did not enjoy the scallop dish. It had 5 teeny tiny scallops with bland black rice and dollops of strange tasting white cream; I was disappointed with this dish. My friend ordered the zucchini dish - it was too mint forward for my liking. Overall, nice place. Expensive, but unique dishes and good service.

When I saw the teasers that they were coming back I was excited for the opportunity and jumped on a reservation as soon as they were available. I'm happy to report the experience didn't disappoint! The atmosphere, food, and service were all awesome! Our server Anthony was warm, knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions we had regarding menu items. Their menu is meant to share and that's exactly what my friend and I did. My bestie is pescatarian so we went towards veggie and fish items. To start we got the chips and caviar. The house made chips were yummy and seasoned and somehow with the dip weren't too salty. I think having them with a cocktail is good choice. For mains we landed the red snapper, which was cooked to perfection, the skin was so crispy. We also had the squash rigatoni which was so good, amazing flavors and textures. We were pretty satisfied at that point and knew we wanted to dessert, so we stopped there and got the pistachio tres leches, which was also yummy. Jaja would make a great date night or just a cute meet up with friends. I look forward to visiting again.

I'd love to come back to try some steak but not at this location because I don't live close to Medina. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 106/150 total reviews in 2024 - 755 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 30 September 2024

I want to send a shout to management also. I managed to lose my wallet the night we visited. We had hopped around to multiple locations but I was semi-convinced I left it there. The manager called me well before they opened in response to my calls and emails. They went so far as to review their security cameras for me and were willing to let me view them in person. I ended up finding it later in a different location but I really appreciate the help they gave me and their patience with my likely annoying behavior.

I asked a friend what I should get and he recommended the chorizo empanada and guava dessert. Unfortunately, at around noon, most of the desserts were not in stock, including the guava dessert, but I was able to get a chorizo empanada as well as one Columbiana empanada. I got these to-go to eat later at home. There was a bit of a wait, as it was lunchtime and likely filled with busy medical professionals coming from Metro Health across the street. The inside kind of reminds me of a dive bar - messy, with very busy staff. So my empanadas were $3.50 each and were smaller than I would expect for that price. They were also VERY greasy! My to-go container was absolutely soaked with grease. I did enjoy the taste of the empanadas although I couldn't tell which one was which. One supposedly had cilantro and onions but I couldn't tell. If I am in the area again and hungry, I'll pick up an empanada, but what I really want to try is that guava dessert or one of their absolutely MASSIVE slices of cake!

I've been to Peru and had many of these dishes firsthand, so I came in with high expectations…read more While it doesn't quite compare to what I had there, I still find myself coming back regularly because there's really nothing else quite like it in Ann Arbor. The Culantro Bowl is a great deal, the ají de gallina is great comfort food, and I really love the lomo saltado. I also always get either the jugo de maracuyá or chicha morada to drink. The ceviche was good, though the texture wasn't my favorite personally. I also wasn't a fan of the empanadas since they were sweeter than I'm used to. However, the plantains starter was quite good. The atmosphere is modern, clean, and comfortable, and the service has always been excellent. One of the main servers even remembers my name because I've been coming for so long. Overall, it's not the best Peruvian food I've ever had, but it gives me a nostalgic taste of Peru in Ann Arbor and has definitely become a staple for me. I'd also love to see papa a la huancaína added to the menu someday.
