Coming back again after I moved out of the area to this Peruvian restaurant and let me tell you the food is still delicious!!! The ceviche the lomo pap rellena pollo a la brasa etc outstanding!!!! Jocelyn my waitress was very nice beautiful smile and very friendly even though she doesn't speak English that much she was able to help us! Thanks to my friends that speak Spanish i Will definitely come back again and again and again
Been here since I was a kid. The lomo saltado is so good. I stay in Sacramento now so every time I come to San Jose I tend to come for that. So good I would recommend.
We visited a Peruvian restaurant for the first time and received a warm welcome. They could tell we were new, so they took extra care of us. Since most of the staff spoke Spanish, we had someone who spoke English help us with our orders. They recommended the Peruvian drink Chicha Morada, which we loved and ordered. For starters, we tried Tamales and Choros a la chalaca (Mussels). The tamales were cooked perfectly, and even though it was our first time trying mussels, we enjoyed them, they get all the taste from toppings of onion, tomato, and lemon. Not easy for first timers to savor the raw taste and look of mussels. After seeing good reviews, we decided to try the Ceviche De Pescado. It turned out to be marinated seafood, not cooked, but surprisingly, we enjoyed its unique citrusy flavor. It was well-prepared, and we were glad we tried something new that didn't disappoint. Overall, we had a great experience and highly recommend trying Peruvian specialties.
Great food !! Generous portion and prices are reasonable. Area is a bit sketchy and premises need more decor attention but in general Fair rating
I recommend this place for the food, the service is Okay and the environment not very good. There is a "bar / night club" next to the restaurant which is pretty weird. Anyways, the food is good. Most of the time I order Pollo a la Brasa, arroz Chaufa de Pescado, Ceviche, Jalea. Food is good! Price is good but location not so good.
