We wanted to come and try a new restaurant and came out super disappointed.
To start off with, My wife ordered birria tacos and asked if it came with cheese, and was told by Segundo that the gringa al pastor was similar.. I had ordered tacos too - menu item "from the house". What I received was smaller than the palm of our hands for 28 sol and 26 sol. The portion sizes maybe would feed a toddler if you are lucky.
Our biggest disappointment was when they realized that we are foreigners (they take advantage of you immediately).. My wife asked for a pisco sour and was given a sour catedral. Segundo said they did have pisco sours right off the get go and comes back after saying they didn't. The sour catedral coming in at 75 sol. The drunk wasn't even on the menu after looking tirelessly.
Side note - surprise, surprise - our hotel we stayed at has 4 drinks for that price plus spicy peanuts o O.
When we confronted the server, Segundo said that they don’t serve pisco sours as it’s a Mexican restaurant but the female manager Chiara told us that the pisco sour is 38 sols. How is this possible?
We tried locating the drink on the menu (maybe we misread it) and it’s nowhere to be found (probably in the ocean being brought up the fishing line to treat foreigners like trash). 75 sol for what? That’s almost 30$ Canadian.
Here's the kick in the chest - I don’t drink and I asked for mineral water with gas, only to be provided the most expensive drink that again is not even on the menu (Evian) whereas San Pellegrino is on the menu at 16 sols. Maybe I was responsible for a re-stocking fee? Who knows or the customs fee collected by the French when they export.
When the bill totaled up we were charged at $86.87 CAD. Thankfully Chiara came to our aid and helped us get refunded 70 sol.
Foreigners don't bother here, they will charge you over charge you significant non existent prices.
We paid 75 CAD at Edo sushi down the road the night before and received 4 times the food with absolutely reasonable drink prices. Respect.
I'm still surprised Segundo thought it was an ideal resolution that would be two extra two coronitas 200 ML and another Evian water.
Chiara, we appreciate you...
Read moreCame here to eat based on hotel recommendations and super disappointed. To start off, I ordered birria tacos and asked if it came with cheese, was told that gringa al pastor was similar.. I had two tacos and my husband had two tacos smaller than the palm of our hands for 28.00 soles and 26 soles. The portion sizes are extremely small and the minute they realize that you’re foreigners they take advantage. I asked for a pisco sour and was given a sour catedral. The sour catedral coming in at 75.00 sole.

When we got the bill we were charged at $86.87 CAD. Foreigners beware, they will charge you exorbitant prices because they feel they can take advantage of you. Spending 90$ cad is to fine dine in Canada and we weren’t even served remotely close to the portions nor the quantity of drinks. The resolution is an extra two coronas 20 ML and another Evian water. Thank you to Chiara for refunding us the extra sole that we were charged for...
Read moreAwesome place in the rooftop of a business center in San Isidro. My wife brought me here for a quick lunch and I was in awe with the restaurant’s decoration and views of the city. I think most people will come here for the ambiance during their lunch break or for drinks since it’s a very casual place. Some of their middle tables have swings as chairs which I thought it was pretty cool. They only serve Corona’s so be prepared for that if you wish to try other types of beers. Now let’s talk about the food which is why we are all here for. I wish they could have delivered at least one of the two dishes I had ordered, but to our surprise both of the dishes we ordered weren’t available, so we had to go through the menu again and pick other items. We went in very early when there were only 2 tables with guests, so I don’t think they ran out of ingredients. But anyways, the food was good but not great. Will I come back again? Most likely yes, to try their others dishes and for...
