    Ceviche de Poscado & Ceviche Especial are both amazing. Ensalada de Palta is refreshing. Arroz con Mariscos y Langosta & Pollo Saltado are excellent, great flavors! Laid back, live music some nights.

    Off the beaten track, small family run restaurant worth going! Delicious seafood-ceviche, seafood rice dish (similar to paella) delicious home made sauces. Can't wait to go back try the other dishes!

    If you like french fries and rice, you have to try them together. They serve food that is uncommonly well presented and great tasting. A caution - beware of the green sauce - HOT - and I like HOT.

    Had the chicga morada. It's just a touch sweet to knock out the corn taste. It was really interesting to taste! Aji de Gallina was delicious. Mmmm

    So much flavor and spice; delicious. Haven't tasted anything like it before. Main course is pricey but definitely shareable. Will visit again!

    Seco de carne like moms best pot roast. Aji de Gallina manages to be creamy & comforting but not too heavily spiced. Delicioso tamale.

    Crevice & Arroz con Maricos was on point. Green sauce was super addictive.

    Papa a la huancaina best we've had...even better than my Peruvian girlfriend's mom's. She was also amazed by the tamales. Anticuchos could use some work though.

    Definitely authentic Peruvian foods. If you ever been to Peru, especially Cusco, everything is either super salty or bland. Try seafoods fried rice, or cilantro fried-rice, and lot of water.

    Great little authentic Peruvian restaurant. Can be busy, but that's a good sign of quality.

    This is one of those hidden gem restaurants. Small and somewhat inconspicuous, this restaurant offers great food and even better service. The owners are so friendly!

    Tuesday is live music night; authentic pan flute and guitar playing such authentic tunes as "Hello" by Lionel Richie!

    If you like large portions of rice and french fries - with spicy foods and music - this is a place you should know.

    From the amazing ceviche to the aji de gallina with a walnut cream sauce, this spartan place is intriguing. - Inspector
