It’s been so long since I’ve had Peruvian food so very happy that this place opened up in Montclair. As familiar as I am with Montclair, it was in an area I’ve never been to. In any case, the food was delicious and the service was attentive. It’s a a small place with 4 small tables and a barstools on one side. It seemed like a mostly takeout place but it was rather nice to stay there and enjoy our meal. The ceviche was wonderful with so much seafood along with corn and sweet potatoes. The moderate spiciness ended up a bit a tad spicier than I prefer so I’ll make sure to order it as mild next time. My partner had the breaded chicken that reminded me of Milanese chicken. It was tender and tasty. Plenty of rice and fried plantain. I had the steak and wow, so flavorful. No need for any condiments. I had the yellow rice which was delicious and the fried plantain, which was crispy on the outside. We had their freshly made juice (I can’t recall what it was) and also quite good. We plan to visit again!

Delicious! My husband and I were so excited to see this new little eatery pop up near us and it was delicious! It’s primarily a to-go/ pickup/delivery type place but there’s a counter top with stools incase you decide to eat there. We chose to eat there and the food was delicious. The price point was a great value for the amount of food. I ordered the cancha, 1/4 chicken with fries and he had the 1/2 chicken with rice. The chicken was sooo tender. The green sauce and garlic sauce added even more flavor. Staff was friendly and the space was super clean. Will definitely be back to try more!

A Hidden Gem with Heartfelt Service and Food!!! Amazing service, delicious food, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere! We truly felt loved and cared for—every dish tasted like it was made with love. This family-owned business has been around for 30 years, and it’s clear they take great pride in their customer service. Funny enough, we discovered this place after having a disappointing experience at Lena y Carbón. But we’re so grateful that God led us here—this spot is a true gem. We’ll definitely be back. Thank you again for the incredible food and hospitality!

Really yummy! Had my favorite dish Lomo Saltado and my fiancé had the chicharrón de pescado. It was the perfect amount of food, not too much or too little. I went during the week which made it easy to get a table but not sure how easy it is on the weekends. I hope to visit again soon

Is a small place only have three 3️⃣ tables. Is clean and has a nice decoration. The food is really good, the arroz chaufa was great and the pollo asado was very tasty and juicy. If you are looking for quick lunch time this is the place
