"My cousin and I visited this establishment last night because we were craving some Authentic Peruvian food! This place did not fail our anticipation for hearty food. The 1/2 roast chicken with the shrimp fried rice was AMAZING & DELICIOUS ! We literally visited this restaurant 1 hr prior to them closing and it was wonderfully made fresh to order and super flavorful. The hostess/server was so pleasant, attentive, and accommodating (didn’t catch her name). The place was very clean and had bright lighting. The place provided some entertainment with music playing and a movie playing on the television. The staff all appeared to be welcoming and professional. The prices overall were super reasonable for the portion size and so worth it. Thank you for a wonderful experience, we will most definitely return for more meals!!!"

"The food is amazing here. We were recommended by Lena, whom I work with. From the moment I tried this place I have told everyone that I know. Friends, family and myself have continued to order from this place for months now! Food is authentic, portions are generous and the flavor is amazing. Please don’t change anything. Everything is delicious and the service from the ladies who always answer the phone are on point. They are patient and sweet! Delivery can take a while, BUT it’s worth It!!!!"
