The service here is spectacular. Never met a nicer set of servers. Super accommodating and friendly. Speak both Spanish and English. The food is delicious, and they have a $7 lunch special that includes everything you see in my first image: soup, entree, and drink. The restaurant makes you feel like you are at a Peruvian friend's home. Great experience. Coffee was also a good choice here. It's made fresh for you. Will definitely be visiting this restaurant again.

Their lunch specials are low cost and offer different varieties daily. Majority of their meals are worth the try, from the Arroz Chaufa, to the Seco de Res. Most lunch specials are big portions about $7 which includes a drink. Usually I get their Chicha which is made fresh daily and taste great. Worth the try if you're craving something new and refreshing in the area.

Sometimes I crave Peruvian food. It isn't quite like anything else but when it's good, it hits the spot. Got mixed seafood in sauce (hot, not ceviche). I don't know the name, just asked for it in English. The seafood was very good, my favorite was definitely the mussels. I think the one thing it could have used was maybe some hot sauce, so make sure to ask for it if you like the spice (I think prefer little spice, not too much). The price was very good. They treated me well. Will definitely want to come back.

This is a Peruvian restaurant so its not catergorized correctly. The place is great but know that you need to know Spanish to read the menu. The specials like the duck and beef stew are recommended. Also try the Papa ala Huanciana and wontons as they are typical starters and show you some of the diversity of the offerings.
