Low value to price. Food quality no to my standard. Carretillero traviseo needs work. Pulpo a la parrilla soft but tastless. Pollo a las brasas not flavor. Lomo saltado tasteless. Coudn’t find a taste at all. The lack of flavor on your dishes. the only think i coud taste was the salt on my kids fries.

Had an excellent business lunch with my business partner – prefect spot for me bc I tend to talk super loud when I’m having a great time and you can here without the place being too noisy. My partner has a nut and gluten allergy and I was so happy to see the waitress took note and had another staff come to the table to discuss with her. I had the Saltado de pollo – soy sauce and ginger sauce over stir fried chicken with tomatoes and red onions over white jasmine rice , and a salad. The lunch was bomb ! Also , had the chicha Moraga sour – semi sweet and citrusy drink with Angostura bitters – came out beautifully – see pic, parking was easy peasy !

My saltado de pollo was delicious! I tasted the (dirty) rice from the arroz con pollo and it was hella good! The non-alcoholic chicha morada tasted authentic although I don’t have a point of reference. They have outdoor patio seating, shaded by tall buildings in the late afternoon. Will return!

The Best Restaurant in Oakland. I’ve been coming back and back again to this place. Anytime I want to impress my Friends, Business associates and my girlfriend I don’t even think just bring them here. Everything on this menu is uniquely delicious with flavors you won’t get anywhere else and it all looks amazing too for the gram photos if your into that! Haha the staff is Fantastic with great service and very open parties and dogs. You can just head in and get a Michelin star quality food experience.
