“ The food is excellent! Service is great I would call this place a hole in the wall. Nothing fancy, located in a strip mall but the food is some of the best Peruvian I've ever had. Restaurant is clean food is excellent. If you like Peruvian I highly recommend. ”
“ Very delicious food. Lots of flavor and nice portions. Lomo was 19 bucks. Very reasonable priced. A must go, in my opinion. ”
“ EVERYONE!! I REPEAT EVERYONE!! Please do yourselves a favor and go here and have this delicious food. I recommend going here, after going around and around to different Peruvian restaurants. I’ll say that this place does come close to the top because the Lomo is awesome and the causa is also mucho delicious!! The only that they don’t have is the Ceviche which isn’t a big deal but ehh. But please try this area everyone!! ”
“ Oh my!! I love this place!! We came here to celebrate our friend's birthday and we had a great time. Deanna or Diana was so friendly and informative. Everything we ordered was scrumptious. And even though the place was small, it was clean and comfortable. We all agreed we will definitely be back. ”
“ Higo Chicken is awesome and so delicious!! Service was friendly and fantastic too. We ordered the following: • causa rellena • ceviche de pescado • tallarin verde con pollo a la brasa (1/2) • maracuya drink The causa rellena and tallarin verde con pollo a la brasa (1/2) were both cooked to perfection, and I would 10000% come back to order those again, as well as try other items on the menu next time. Looking forward to my return! ”
“ The lunch special, firewood chicken and spinach pasta is amazing. The skin is very crispy, the seasoning is perfect, and the meat is very tender. They have a unique potato with a traditional sauce, sorta like an appetizer, is very good. Very popular place, lunch rush might have a lot of people. Service is fast and servers are very kind. ”
“ Love this Peruvian restaurant. My family does too! We try to come here often. The food is very good and the service is great too. The chicken is excellent and flavorful. Also, try their alfajores. They don't always have them so try to grab a box when you see them. ”
“ Absolute authentic Peruvian cuisine gem. Some places have Lomo Saltado on the menu. But you have to come here to know what it's supposed to taste like first. If you haven't had it here first or in Peru, then you don't know what it's supposed to taste like. All their flavor profiles are on point. It's a small, sincere dining room. The wow in the atmosphere comes from the food, relaxed atmosphere, and service. The chef here can put to shame most high priced upscale restaurants. A true mystery of Peruvian food. ”
