Came here last month with a coupon since it was a place I had been waiting to try for long after hearing that their ceviche was the real deal and I must say I'm not disappointed at all. The area is not the nicest and the place is not fancy at all but it is very clean and has a warm atmosphere. The staff is nice and welcoming and you'll find Milanese and Peruvuan families dining here. Since we had a coupon we had a fixed menu consisting of a shared potato-based starter (Causa, I think it was the name, tasty but not super special) and a main course of our choice, but everything in the menu seemed like something I want to try. However, we all went for the ceviche mixto which was a mix of super-fresh fish (octopus, shrimp, squid, etc.) soaked in lemon with onion, celery and spices; just perfect! Prices are not as cheap as you might expect, but remember you're having fresh seafood. Since I don't remember having many ceviches as good as this one, it is definitely something worth...
Read moreVery authentic Peruvian cevicheria! The place is very unassuming from the outside but a total lovely place inside with a lot of Peruvian people with friends and family. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. Their menu has a lot of sea food options that are very traditional Peruvian dishes. I took ciliantro rice with chicken and papa huancaina which was very very delicious. The classic ceviche is very fresh delicious and amazingly well done. Over all the portions of the food were quite big and accordingly the prices may seem a bit high. But given the quantity you get it is totally justified! I highly recommend this place for enjoy very authentic Peruvian dishes with a great ambience. The only shortcoming is that you cannot pay with the card and they accept only cash!
Also there are a lot of promotional events of Peruvian culture which are interesting! I highly...
Read moreSoy peruana y dejo esta mala reseña para que sea tomada de manera constructiva. El gran problema es que no hay un buen conocimiento del tema de alergias alimentarias. Yo soy celíaca y quise comer algo sin gluten y lamentablemente tuve que esperar larguísimo rato para tener una referencia de qué comidas tienen o no tienen gluten. La carta no está señalizada adecuadamente y los platos que elegí tenían gluten (esto lo averigüe tras preguntar intensamente) El personal me trató muy amablemente y fueron muy preocupados pero el tema es que no hay conocimiento ni entrenamiento en este tema. Yo se que celiacos son solo 1% de la población, pero para nosotros la única cura es una dieta estricta sin gluten. En otros restaurantes italianos no tuve este problema y me da pena que entre mis compatriotas tuve que pasar un suplicio. Si voy a un restaurante peruano es para comer comida peruana y no pollo a la plancha... si es esa mi única opción entonces me voy al restaurante italiano donde no me voy a enfermar y me queda comer mi comida peruana en casa porque mis compatriotas no se preocupan que sus visitantes puedan tener opciones que comer. Tuve que irme del restaurante y me fui a otro restaurante peruano donde (a pesar de que tampoco sabían del tema) me aseguraron que iban a preparar un ceviche en otro recipiente separado libre de contaminación cruzada de gluten. En verdad, por favor presten la seriedad a este tema, por más pequeño que sea el grupo de celíacos. No es un tema de moda ni de elección como ser vegano, es un tema de salud que la gastronomía también tiene que saber y tomar las medidas...
