Also, I ordered takeaway, and when I got home and opened the package, I found the portion to be tiny. Not even close to what they're serving people sitting in the restaurant, and not anywhere close to what's normal in Peru. I went back to ask them to prepare just a small amount of vegetables to add to it to fix the issue, but they refused. They wanted me to just order a whole additional dish and spend even more money to fix their own problem they obviously created by trying to cheat someone ordering takeaway.

To add insult to injury, I developed a stomach issue for the first time after being in Peru for weeks. It came after eating this takeaway, so it's probably a good thing I didn't get more vegetables from them.

Dry just like it should be and full of flavour. My friend had the noodles and they were less impressed as the smoky flavour was a bit too overpowering.

I noticed not one Asian works in the front or in the kitchen 😄. The sizes of the plates are generous.

Regardless after a week of non-Asian food this is...
