Great Peruvian food. Especially the chicken. Decent amount of parking. Gets quite busy in the evenings. Love their deserts as well.

The chicken is good. If you want to order something other than pollo a la brasa, I wouldn’t go here. We usually get take out from here because the service sucks. Their signature move is to give us a pitcher of chicha and walk away. No cups. The floor is always slippery from fry grease, which makes me wonder what their kitchen looks like!!

The 5 stars are not for high-falutin' atmosphere (which is OK). They're for the food. This restaurant features authentic Peruvian dishes (according to my friend from Peru) served family style. And on a Sunday afternoon, the dining room was filled with families. We had the rotisserie chicken. It was among the most delicious chickens I've ever had - moist and juicy, too! The salad had a simple, but flavorful, dressing including lemon juice. Tasty frijoles, bean soup, and crisp fries were also on our table and tongues. The meal was topped off with delicious flan. All portions were generous. Maybe I'll see you there because I definitely want to return.

They have the best chicken and the best green hot sauce HANDS DOWN! Their chaufa is also very good and I frequent this place a lot. The service is slow and sometimes awful but I’m just there for the food, really.
The only thing is this place seems to rip you off with their prices for their hot sauce whenever you’re ordering take out. Usually a 8 oz container is 5$ and i think they used to be 3$. But if you eat-in then it will be free and unlimited.
If only I could figure out their recipe then I wouldn’t have to spend so much on their delicious hot sauce!

One of the best places by taste alone in this area! There are a lot of Peruvian restaurants nearby but all my family and family friends (all Peruvians born in Peru) come here because the taste is the closest to mimicking what you’d get in Peru! Miriam is a hard working woman and a great host!

We traveled an hour to come to this restaurant because the first time we came, the food was very good. However, this time it wasn’t the same. The Aji de Gallina was too salty, and the waiter gave me the wrong order and try telling me that I was wrong and that I had order that, when I had order something else. She also didn’t let us take the Aji Verde and Rocoto, that were already on the table, to go. The Arroz Chaufa was the only good thing of the whole experience, but now I don’t think is even worth the trip there with such a bad service and ok food.

Food was served fast good portions for price.
Only lack is the staff, 1 server for almost 20 tables. Was lucky place was near to empty.
Had to take food home due to size of portion.

I don't complaint about food in any restaurant but this time the food were a little bad. No flavor at all. My wife and I asked for a pariuela and what they serve was a mountain of onions. 3 Shrimp other few seafood and a lot of yuca(cassava).
