Biodegradable containers , yet even the beans was wrapped tightly. We did the family meal with whole chicken. Great value for money. The portion sizes were ample. The quinoa/ rice was so savory and the black beans was tasty. The steamed yucca was on point and a perfect pairing with the well seasoned chicken. The sauces were delightful especially the green sauce. Customer service was also spot on in response to feedback. We will try again and you should too.

I frequently pass by this establishment because I work in the area. I recently met a new coworker…read morefrom Peru who recommended this place, stating it offers authentic Peruvian cuisine close to home. I'm always interested in discovering restaurants that serve genuine dishes from different countries without Americanized alterations. When he mentioned the location, I recognized exactly where it was. He specifically recommended the Fried Rice, known as Chaufas. I also learned from him that Chinese influence is prevalent in Peruvian cuisine due to historical migration, which explains why these flavors are integrated. The restaurant operates as a takeout spot, with no seating available. Upon entering, I was greeted promptly. Initially, I planned to order the Fried Rice, but I decided to try the Lomo Salado with white rice and added chicken instead. The Fried Rice can wait for another visit. My order was ready in about fifteen minutes, and it was substantial enough to serve two people--really good value. The rice was delicious, cooked to perfection--fluffy and well-prepared, even if it lacked a bit of seasoning. They provided a side of Lomo Salado broth, which I could pour over the dish, but I found it unnecessary. The steak was flavorful, tender, and juicy. The chicken I added was decent; it was well seasoned but tasted somewhat cheap, so I wouldn't order it again. The French fries were good, though I prefer rice as a side. Overall, the meal was excellent, and the customer service was outstanding. I'm already looking forward to returning to try the Fried Rice.

The chicken was very dry, it had no seasoning at all, and on top of that it seemed like it was from the previous day.

Came here during happy hour because, I wanted to unwind with a drink after my TMJ physical therapy…read more My friend suggested this spot, she lives nearby. I appreciated the authentic Peruvian flavors. We sat at the bar, and I liked that the kitchen is open...it was nice being able to watch the food being prepared. The plating was attractive and made the dining experience feel a bit more upscale. Melba was our bartender/server, and she was attentive, friendly, welcoming, and provided great service. For appetizers, I ordered the Lomo Saltado Dumplings, which came with a ginger soy sauce. Each dumpling had one large chunk of beef inside. I wasn't a big fan of that...I think they would have been better with diced, more tender beef. They were fried perfectly with a nice crispy exterior. For drinks, I tried the $10 happy hr drinks, Menta Madre (pisco, fresh lime juice, passion fruit, and fresh mint), the Margarita Munay (silver tequila, orange liqueur, fresh lime juice, and rocoto pepper), and a $6 beer. These were some of the best happy hour drink prices I've seen. I also tried the El Capitán PG ($13), made with vodka, guava juice, fresh lime juice, and amaretto. Even at regular price, it was still a great value, and every drink was beautifully presented. For my entrée, I had the Seco de Carne, a beef cilantro stew served with beans, salsa criolla, and yuca. Since my iron has been low lately and I'm dealing with TMJ, the tender braised beef was much easier to chew than a steak would have been. I usually avoid going back to the same restaurants because I'd rather explore new places, but this is one of the few I'd gladly make an exception for. I'd definitely return for the bar!

Recomiendo a quienes visiten este restaurante que revisen cuidadosamente tanto la calidad de la comida como el detalle de la cuenta antes de pagar. Basándome en mi experiencia, no puedo recomendar este lugar, lamentablemente mi experiencia fue muy decepcionante. La comida no parecía fresca y daba la impresión de haber sido recalentada. Empeze con la yuca a la huancaína, pero la salsa estaba demasiado espesa, no tenía el sabor ni los ingredientes característicos de una auténtica huancaína y no se parecía a la foto publicada en la página web del restaurante. Además, la yuca parecía congelada. Como plato principal pedi filete de pescado y corvina, un pescado tradicional peruano que además era uno de los platos más costosos del menú. El pesacdo llego frío, seco y sin sabor fresco. Los frijoles de acompañamiento estaba seco y sin buen sabor, y el plátano maduro estaba excesivamente maduro y muy grasoso. Llamé al mesero para mostrarle mi plato y expresarle mi inconformidad. Le indiqué que no quería comerlo y no pedí otro plato debido a mi decepción con la calidad de la comida. Cuando llegó la cuenta, me cobraron el plato que no consumí y además habían incluido automáticamente un 20 % de propina. Esto no fue claramente informado y solo lo noté al preguntar por un cargo adicional en la cuenta. Solicité hablar con el gerente y resultó ser la misma persona que me había atendido. Mi queja no fue tomada en consideración y terminé pagando la cuenta completa. In English: As a Peruvian, I know what authentic Peruvian food should taste like, and this experience fell far below expectations. I encourage diners to carefully review both their food and their bill before paying. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant and unfortunately my experience was very disappointing. The food did not taste fresh and seemed reheated. I started with the yuca a la huancaína, but the sauce was overly thick, lacked the authentic flavor and ingredients, and did not resemble the dish shown on the restaurant's website. The yuca itself tasted like frozen yuca. For main course, I ordered fish fillet and corvina, a traditional Peruvian fish that was also one of the more expensive menu items. The dish arrived cold, dry, and lacking freshness. The side of beans was dry and flavorless, and the sweet plantains were overly ripe and extremely greasy. I brought these concerns to the waiter's attention and showed him my plate, explaining that I did not want to eat the dish. I did not order a replacement because I was dissatisfied with the quality of the food. When the bill arrived, I was charged for the meal I did not eat, and a 20% gratuity had already been added. This was not clearly disclosed, and I only discovered it after questioning an additional charge on the bill. When I asked to speak with the manager, I learned it was the same person who had served us. My concerns were not addressed, and I was required to pay the full amount.

I want to start with the fact that our food was delicious. We weren't planning on coming here…read moretonight, but walking by, someone sitting in the window had a huge plate of calamari that looked delicious, so we decided to go in, sit at the bar and get some calamari. We walked in and sat at the bar. Andres was very attentive and friendly. we ordered a Pisco Sour and pisco punch and calamari. All good. then my husband decided he wanted ceviche and I ordered chaufa de pollo, and then Tallarines Verdes(to bring home). Our drinks were very good. It took a long time for our food to come because our food was given to someone else. They were apologetic and said they'd give us some special drink pricing. But it was interesting to hear them tell the people next to us that they didn't have to pay for the food that they were accidentally given, even though they sat there and ate the entire thing, while we were the ones waiting and it wasn't even their food! The calamari(although MUCH smaller portion that what we saw at other tables and other people at the bar) and ceviche. the chaufa de pollo were very good. We ate. bit of all and took a lot home. Except my husband ate all of the ceviche... The owner came over and apologized about the wait/error. We got the bill, it was the wrong bill, I told him and he gave us the right one, but no discount or drink special on it... we paid and left. Again food was good, but service from the kitchen was spotty.

Another day another Lomo Saltado. Yeah, this is my second day in a row having it. Last night I…read moredrove to Hartford to partake in the dish, and now I had it delivered to me from this Merritt 7 area restaurant. This time around I had some aji sauce to have the dish with, and fries on the side. An improvement was that the portions were actually good portions. Well, at least for the proteins. A meal could actually be visualized with this kind of portion as a whole, which is important because before I got to eat this I was getting quite a bit hangry (trust me, you do NOT want me getting hangry). I got my steak medium done, which they were. Rice was also cooked well, and the juice from the steak that got on the rice was flavorful. Onions were crisp too and a good cut. However, and this is a BIG however, even though I did get napkins in my bag as well as the Inca Cola I'd added in, there was nothing to eat anything with. No fork, no nothing. I'm sorry, is it illegal now to put eating utensils in with our delivery orders? Is assuming that they'd just give me a fork to eat my lunch with against the law now or something? Where I work doesn't always give me accessibility to be able to use eating utensils when we have lunch breaks, so I had to wait a while before even beginning to eat most of what I'd had. I was still able to eat the fries since that is usually a finger food anyway, but Lomo Saltado is definitely NOT a finger food! You need eating utensils for that, I don't care if it's delivery or not. That's like trying to eat Mac and cheese with my bare hands. See where I'm going with this? Maybe if I were to go in person things would be different for the better. As it is now though, I cannot overlook the lack of eating utensils. Ah well.
