Read moreSo this wasnt my first time trying Peruvian food, and my girlfriend and I were super excited that we got recommended this place as a “must try”. Once we got there we got greeted and welcomed from the staff and everyone seemed happy to be there.
Food wise: the food was AMAZING. I HIGHLY recommend the food. The ceviche was crazy, the QUALITY was definitely noticeable and they stuffed it with shrimp.
The pollo was really juicy and super flavorful. Just imaging your momma or poppa making this type quality.
The sauces… sheesh. I was mind blown to learn that they are all literally hand made every morning by the owners. You dont find that anywhere else.
The salad and dressing was so good. Super fresh.
And last but not least. The Lomo Saltado. This deserves a whole review on its own. This mixed with the green sauce is top foods in Pasadena easily. Highly highly recommend it. But, for the absolute best trio, get the ceviche, pollo, and lomo all together.
The drinks were really good as well and super fresh. Coming to this restaurant will definitely be that one choice you make that you will be glad you did. The owners are awesome and super caring as well. Lovely addition to Pasadena. Pa. Look at how fresh and perfect that...
Read moreJust 2 things you have to remember: CHICKEN & YUCCA FRIES This spot has its own parking lot so it's pretty convenient. It has a cute indoor and outdoor area where you can eat but not a lot of tables. I usually take it to-go.
First off, the service is GREAT. They always have the food ready with abundant sauces ready to go. The staff is always smiling and happy to greet customers and just laugh with them.
Next, the food: the chicken is very well seasoned and sometimes it can be a little on the salty side but nothing a little of their seasoned rice can't fix 😍 you can order combos with chicken and sides or just order the whole chicken by itself. The green sauce they give has a great kick to it but goes so well with the chicken. The rice definitely has a subtle but delicious flavor, which i love. It's almost a buttery kind of hint so why wouldn't I love it. Moving onto the sides!! Honestly I've only tried their yucca fries and.... I will always only get the yucca fries. They have to be eating right away to get the full experience of crispness on the outside and soft chewiness on the inside. Just pure deliciousness.
Definitely give this spot a try. It'll...
