The Ceviche Mixta was beautifully presented with tender seafood in a bright leche de tigre, choclo, red onion and crispy cancha on the side. Clean, citrusy and really well done. The Chaufa de Pollo was flavorful, the combination of tender chicken, egg, scallions and seasoned rice all came together to create this really rich, satisfying depth that made every bite better than the last. The Ensalada de Aguacate was simple but perfectly executed and balanced alongside the meal. The Pisco Sour was beautifully foamy with that perfect balance of citrus and sweetness.

Ambiance, service, cocktails, and food were all on point. Kevin was our server, he was very professional and accommodating. For cocktails, I had a mojito which was very refreshing and my friend had the pisco which was strong for me, but she thought it was perfect. For appetizers, we had the baked clams and the mixed seafood ceviche, both were really good, one of the best ceviches I've had. For our entrees, my friend and I shared the spaghetti pesto which is a must have. It was paired with a NY sirloin steak, the combination of both was literally to die for. We also had the lomo saltado which is one of the popular dishes. This was very flavorful, highly recommend ordering this as well. For dessert, we had the mango cheesecake and ice cream which was very delicious and perfect to end our evening. Overall great spot and will definitely return.

Their food is a little pricey but so worth it! My parents ordered trays for food to feed about 15. A tray of lomo saltado, that came with a tray of white rice and a separate tray of French fries, a tray of rotisserie chicken and a tray of arroz chaufa (fried rice with eggs). The food was scheduled to be here at 3PM and by 315 we were serving the food and it was so hot, it didn't even need to be warmed up. They also provided us with a container of the famous green sauce. Everyone was raving about the food! You have to be Peruvian to understand that we are very picky and if someone says they like it you know their food is good. Honestly the massive trays of food ended ho feeding about 25 and we still had leftovers. The owner catered to my parents needs and we are so thankful everything came out as planned. Thank you for the delicious food, we will Be back on Mother's Day!

This time we went on a Friday night and it was pretty packed inside, including two tables for a large celebration.

We order Chicha Morada to drink and a chicken soup and Chaufa De Pollo chicken fried rice. If you are in the area and looking for a nice restaurant I would say give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

I thought it would be great to try something different. Anyways, foodwise we had cerviche mixto which is seafood marinated in lime juice. I had no idea it was raw seafood. That was recommended. Also, the waitress suggested that we get the pescado a lot macho and said it isn't fried fish but baked tilapia fish and cooked seafood which comes with rice. They did give us a complimentary cookie that reminded me of a macaroon. The service could be improved upon as when my friend and I walked inside no one bothered to even greet us. We had to wait awhile for us to even be noticed. Even our food took awhile as well. Something to note is that if you pay in cash you get a discount versus card.

Wearing light clothing is a good idea. * On a more positive note, the food was genuinely impressive. The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. I'd definitely recommend stopping by to try it, especially if you're a fan of seafood. * Unfortunately, several menu items were unavailable, and cleanliness was an issue as few flies landed on one of our dishes. We told the server (who responded quickly), but the owner didn't offer to remake it, even though the place wasn't busy. Eventually, the owner came over after 20 minutes and blamed the server, which felt unfair. * We weren't charged for the dish, and we still tipped the server for her effort. Overall, great food and solid service, but the experience was hurt by hygiene and management. * Will come back again in the near future, so I will update on any improvements.

What was really disappointing were the spring rolls and sweet and sour chicken and even their vegetable fried rice .

Service and the environment would get passing grades however .

The savory beef paired with the cheese and fresh arepa just works perfectly. W queso and chorizo - Definitely worth trying. It leans a bit on the dry side for my taste, but I can see it pairing really well with an alcoholic drink. W queso and chicharron - Also slightly dry, but the chicharrón itself is absolutely phenomenal in flavor. W queso and sirloin steak - OMG, this one is a hit too. Super satisfying and packed with flavor. I've also tried their leche flan, and as a flan girl myself, I have to say--it does not disappoint. The caramel sauce they add is especially good and really brings the dessert together. Overall, this place deserves a solid 5 stars. The arepas are incredibly fresh, and the customer service is top-notch. Few seating options and spacious. The attendant took the time to walk us through the menu, which made the experience even better. Honestly, with this level of passion and quality, who needs to go to Manhattan?

We were actually surprised it wasn't busier for a Saturday, but that worked out great for us since our party of four (2 adults and 2 kids) was seated right away. The menu was available on an iPad, which made browsing easy. I ordered the grilled chicken with rice, beans, and sweet plantains. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. My husband ordered the chicken with a white sauce and really enjoyed his meal as well. My older daughter loved her grilled steak so much that she had to take some home for later! My youngest kept it simple with chicken fingers, which she happily finished. They also offer fresh juices. The girls ordered mango and strawberry juices, and both were delicious. One thing we thought was really cool was that the TVs played the music videos for the songs that were playing throughout the restaurant, which added a fun atmosphere. Before leaving, we checked out the bakery section and picked up a Nutella croissant and a chocolate loaf. The girls absolutely loved both treats! The staff was attentive and friendly throughout our visit, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a great meal and will definitely be coming back.
