- Behrad EatsJanuary 5, 2017The Causita Cebichera is fresh and bright, made with aji amarillo causa, Asian-style cebiche, avocado, & cancha powder.
Andrea FerreyrosFebruary 12, 2018Great modern twist on traditional Peruvian dishes. The ceviche Clasico is fresh and delish. They also have vegetarian options for a lot of their popular dishes which I definitely appreciated!
Michael KurdylaMarch 25, 2017Terrific cocktails (ginger mint chilcano, anyone?) and the wine selections pair divinely with the food. If you can't decide, go with Mochica ceviche, spare rib app, pulpo, and duck leg. Four thumbs up- Behrad EatsJanuary 5, 2017When you're at a Peruvian restaurant, you order a Pisco Sour for your drink!
JKAugust 16, 2021Try cebiches, causitas, chicken salad dressed in mild aji amarillo; tuna cebiche with cilantro shoots; and slivered roasted piquillo peppers
Bob NiemicDecember 23, 2015Tequenos appetizer is delicious, especially since I love cheese. The sauce is perfect with the great flavor of avocado & just the right touch of gentle spices.
Yong KwonFebruary 2, 2016Fancy. Open kitchen rocks except when the ventilation breaks and fills the joint with thick smoke #NotSoFancy
Edward WiseMarch 9, 2017Having the bbq sandwich- if your use to game flavor, you will know the lamb is fresh!
Anthony ZacharzewskiApril 12, 2016Excellent Peruvian food. Upstairs a bit quieter than down. Lamb main course is the pick.
Mollie BFebruary 15, 2017Portions are TINY. Not worth the high prices. Go to El Chalan for delicious, well-priced Peruvian food.
