    The mahi mahi ceviche and Peruvian guac were great as shared starters. The pulpo al josper, lomo soltado, arroz con erizos chiclayana, and chaufa putumayo were amazing, and the pisco sours are perfection!

    I have enjoyed numerous meals at RT’s and they are consistently of high-quality. RT’s has superior service, a wonderful ambience, soft music in the background so you don’t have to raise your voice and exhaust yourself speaking. The restaurant is always festively decorated for every season/holiday of the year. It’s clear that the managers/owners take extraordinary pride in and care of their restaurant. Last but not least, the food is exceptionally delicious and well-presented every time! And while you might just drive past this wonderful restaurant on Mount Vernon Ave. in Alexandria, without noticing, it is truly a gem. It deserves a few Michelin stars.
