    This was truly lovely. I have intolerances to gluten and dairy, and the staff were easily able to help me navigate them! This was such a hearty and healthful meal - warm spices and bold, yet simple flavours. Would absolutely recommend!

    We celebrated my mom’s 82nd birthday and she’s always been fond of Peruvian cuisine so what a better moment to celebrate her with amazing and authentic Peruvian food. We ordered the Paella, ceviche trio, chicken croquettes, jalea de marisco and grilled octopus and was a feast of flavors as well as music for our palate. As for drinks my mom had the passion fruit margarita, my hubs had the pizco mule, I had the Pizco Lychee (which I enjoyed a lot), my dad had the coconut lemonade and my daughter’s ordered o e a natural passion fruit juice and the other one fresh lemonade. The portion sizes are huge and we ended up taking home. Definitely going back again for more carretilleto ceviche and grilled octopus. 10/10

    This is a very cute place to eat. It is VERY cozy so we recommend having a reservation. Staff is very friendly. They can sometimes take a bit to come back to the table but otherwise very nice. Food is pricey but it's delicious, good quality, and portions are more than enough. My only major complaint is they are located in a mini Plaza and parking is near non existent. There are no signs for alternate parking options, and we almost had to leave because not everyone in our party could find space. I would love if they moved to a new location with better parking options and space.
