We’re always on a hunt for a good Peruvian restaurant. The service was a little slow at first since the place was full at 8 pm. After serving us our drinks, Willy our host and waiter extraordinaire, gave us banana chips and chanchas. The chips were thin and crispy like nachos and the odd shape of the corn nuts couldn’t belie the fact of its non-GMO origin indigenous from Peru. For appetizers, Willy suggested Papa rellena and Chaufa. The potato croquettes were like cloud pillows on your tongue accompanied by thinly sliced marinaded red onions, which is once again adding aromatic tartness to the dish. Alongside the chaufa were 2 amuse-bouche of mussel ceviche. The serving was so generous that...
For a new-ish place it was not bad. It definitely has potential. We went on mother’s day and it was not busy or crowded so we were surprised when The appetizers came out slowly. First my husband’s, the my mother’s, then mine. By slowly, I mean, my husband finished his and there was a wait before my mother’s came out, she finished hers and we waited more before mine came out. Food was OK. My husband’s appetizer (papa rellena) was very salty. He couldnt eat more then a bite of it, i None of us could handle more then a bite (4 adults), which was a little disappointing. As a person who grew up eating home made peruvian food (my background), the food was overall decent. My entree (tallarin verde)...
the flesh was great. that's all I can say, that was good for eating. very nice work on meat. we have a lot. the paella was terrible and bone dry. clams turned around and were fed. the one clam I ate was one of the worst things I ever tasted. the garnels were not fresh. so disappointing. we had already sent the empathes back because they were undercooked (we had not melted, these were clearly frozen) so that we did not want to be rude and wanted to send paella back, but it was terrible. we were the only table next to the waiter and barkeepers two friends, so they were more interested in hanging with their friends than giving us attention. it took ten minutes to get the first bottle wein, beca...
I am disappointed to have to give this restaurant only 1 star for food and value, as we did not receive any food so there was no value. We arrived at a mostly empty restaurant and had to wait 10 minutes to be seated, even though the server passed by us several times. After finally being shown to a table, we got menus and placed our order. However, after waiting for 50 minutes, I had to flag down another server to inquire about our food. Another 10 minutes passed before I flagged him down again, only to be told that the kitchen was backed up. In the hour that we sat there, only takeout orders were being served. When I pressed for an estimate on how much longer it would be for our food, the se... Book a table now
We love this restaurant!! The food is always fresh and delicious, and Mark the owner/chef is THE BEST!! We were a little disappointed with the service, which was fine, but our server seemed a bit inexperienced and not the most engaging. Also, there seems to have been some construction work being done in the main dining room, so we had to sit up front near the bar, which wasn't the coziest atmosphere. We love the mix of music which is piped in, but the tv by the bar was on, causing conflicting noise. This all in NO WAY should discourage you from going to this GREAT restaurant. The food quality and quantity well makes up for any slight misgivings we had this time :
My daughter and I had dinner at this restaurant and ended up running late, so we had to change our reservation. Despite it being a late Sunday night, the staff were very accommodating and waited for us. They were friendly and efficient. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it. It was our first time dining there, but both my daughter and I would definitely go back again. The atmosphere wasn't fancy, but the restaurant was clean and well-managed. I recommend giving it a try and forming your own opinion.
drive from long beach to dinner after reservations on open table for 9pm dinner. raised, found a parking space right in front and very unexpectedly found that they were closed! not cool at this point where we were hanging. it is in order if they are not opened in the middle of the week, but do not count that they are if they really are not! how can I recommend this place when that was my experience?
my wife and I love this place. we came from westchester county, and during our wedding location search on the li area we would be here after every venue to discuss and enjoy delicious food. excellent eating, chorizo and rock steak are amazing and chimi sauce is excellent. Book a table now
Long wait time for food. They admitted they had a large Uber order and were taking there of that instead. Food was good but I wouldn’t go back. Just too long to wait, especially with small children.
This restaurant is fantastic and I highly suggest it to anyone in the area.
