Came to enjoy some authentic Peruvian cuisine. Left disappointed. For starters the chicha morrada is not house made, packaged and pre bottled. The food looked appetizing but when it came down to taste, it lacked freshness and flavor. In the past pre pandemic food was really good, but quality has gone down. We dined in and weren’t that wowed by the food. There are other fresher and tastier Peruvian food options in the area. Service was okay. Food lacked soul, and honestly were let down this time.

The food was fine. If you are not with in walking distance, the parking and traffic are really bad. If you are give it a go.

Ordered a chaufa plate and an order of chicken with fries and salad and they didn’t even give me plates or utensils and also they really cheap with the sauce

Bland food no flavor whatsoever. The table next to us was also complaining about the chicken being undercooked and the aji being very mild.

I placed an order for take out and when I got home, I noticed the salad was placed under the chicken and fries causing it to be hot and soggy! I spent $100 on my order, I expect things to be packaged appropriately. Unacceptable

The food is great, but they just had 1 server by the time we arrive, sunday afternoon. We wait quite a long

The chicken is small and has no flavor, the aji is embarrassing for a peruvian restaurant. Avoid going to the bathroom because the sink doesnt work. AVOID!!

Absolutely unacceptable. We ordered two orders of white quarter chicken (breast part) with white rice and extra sauce for pick up. We received dark meat. Now this isn’t the first time this occurred. Last time we received one dark and one white quarter chicken which we just let it go. Now this time around we received two dark meat quarters chicken which we specifically indicated on the phone we wanted white meat. I called to request them to exchange it to the correct order. The guy said he didn’t speak English and when they finally understood they said they can’t switch it.How is it that it’s ok for the restaurant to make a mistake and they couldn’t correct it. Unacceptable. I don’t recommend this place.
