This place had some potential. I ordered a plate of Lolo Saltado and was enjoying it when suddenly I realized the piece of stake I was chewing ended up being wrapped around a two-inch piece of tough plastic bag. I informed the waitress and she apologized and said the bag was used to measure the right portion for the beef. She offered a 20% discount when I paid the bill and although it wasn't necessary, I was not happy with the experience. The tough plastic scratched the roof of my mouth and I still feel unpleasant many hours later. I personally won't return to this restaurant due to the experience but I doubt (or at least hope) this was a very isolated case. Aside from that, the rest of the food had a good flavor. Not the best, but certainly not the worst. The place was at about 50% capacity with half of those dining outside under a tent and the other half in the restaurant. We dined inside. If it were not for the bad experience I would rated this 3 stars (or "I liked it"). The priced were also a bit high. The plate was $19.99 and the portion was decent but not large enough to qualify the price. For that amount If love to have a few bites left over to take home. In the end the dish consists of steamed rice, french fries, purple onion, and a few pieces of beef in a sweetened soy-sauce type dressing. In my opinion not worth the $20. If you are a foodie that likes Peruvian cuisine it may be worth s shot. If it's your first time trying Peruvian cuisine I'd recommend searching for alternative restaurants first.

Pretty decent spot for good Peruvian food! I called ahead for pick-up, but still had to wait about 15-20 min to get my food after arrival. That was the only bummer. But the lady working was really sweet, the food was delicious, and the place looked like it was fairly busy on a Sunday evening. The restaurant itself is cutely decorated and had a nice feel to it. Parking lot is a tad small, considering the other establishments it shares the lot with. Overall, great spot that I'd go to again.
