    Some part of the food must be premade…Ordered Anticuchos de Cameron, says head-on shrimp on menu but it came withe headless shrimp and the potatoes under the shrimp was cold though the shrimps are hot. The Chinese style fried rice was overly salty. The Chicha Morada Cheesecake was delicious! Service was very good!

    We love Peruvian food, and this place was a top experience for us. Everything was delicious and the service was super friendly and attentive. Our server was very helpful in letting us know what was especially good. We had the Classic and Mixto Ceviche that were both delicious, as well as the Lomo Saltado. The Duo Inca was also really good, never had the Aji De Gallina Croquettes but I'm glad we tried it here. And the Pescado a Lo Macho was amazing, I would normally not order something "breaded" but this was really good. It was quite noisy, primarily from one table. But the servers were able to move us away to another part of the restaurant which was a bit better. This was good because the people who were now next to us were very friendly and we had a nice conversation with them.

    Delicious food, friendly and prompt service. We had one of the ceviche and octopus as appetizers. We had the salmon with passion fruit reduction, a couple of rice dishes and a pasta dish with Peruvian style pesto. All distinctive and super tasty. We will be back!
