    - Food was 10/10, amazing and seasoned to perfection! -…read moreService was friendly and fast, my entrée came out about 5 mins. after my app was brought out. - Ambiance is vibrant, indoor and outdoor seating offered with a big screen on the back patio.

    Stumbled upon the place in Park circle and we were intrigued by the menu…read more We came in with a group of 5 girls and it wasn't too busy. We had A LOT of questions but our server was very helpful in explaining some of the dishes but more importantly the pictures helped greatly. The passionfruit and spicy marg were both delicious. We all tried something different when it came to the food so we could share. The trio empanadas were banging! Crispy outside and filling inside was tasty accompanied by 2 dipping sauces. You got one cheese, chicken and beef unless specified. My friend and I shared the "Max dog" which was topped with fried potato sticks, mozzarella cheese, pulled chicken, pulled beef and corn mixed in their house made tártara sauce, smoked bacon, and house made pineapple sauce. It was an epic hotdog for sure, a bit hard to eat so we had to break it down a bit lol it had a lot of textures and flavors. The mozzarella kind of fell off since it got hard so I really didn't eat it with the hot dog and enjoyed it as is. We also got a chicharrona arepa which was a Colombian Arepa (corn flat bread), pulled beef, chicharron (fried pork belly), sweet plantain, mozzarella cheese house made tártara sauce. If you haven't had an arepa it's a must try! If you love corn and protein then you will enjoy the maiz Bonito which was a bed of corn, layered with grilled chicken, gilled steak, smoked bacon, potato sticks, colombian sausage, mozarella cheese, tártara sauce, pineapple sauce. The pineapple sauce is delicious and helps cut through all the savoriness that can be a bit overwhelming. Lastly my friend also had the chuleta which was a t bone steak grilled and topped with chimichurri. The only thing I will say with the service was that we didn't see our server after the entrees were dropped and had a hard time finding her when we were trying to get boxes and pay. Eventually someone else assisted us and found her but it was quite a delay towards the end. Overall we did enjoy our experience here with this cuisine and I actually came back not too long after with a different group of friends. I do think the pace of service can improve as a whole.

    Pollo Loko - North Charleston, SC…read more The wife and I stopped into Pollo Loko for a quick lunch, not expecting much... and wow, what a surprise this place turned out to be. First off, the customer service was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely made us feel appreciated from the moment we walked in. You don't always get that kind of attention these days, so it really stood out. The restaurant itself was spotless, well-kept, and had a great vibe. You can tell they take pride in the place. Now let's talk about the food -- because this is where they really shine. We started with the empanadas, which were absolutely delicious -- fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick things off. For our main, we ordered the Peruvian chicken, served with fries and rice, and it did not disappoint. The chicken was cooked perfectly, packed with flavor, and paired incredibly well with their signature sauces -- seriously, those sauces take everything to another level. Even the salad was fresh and tasty, which says a lot because that's usually an afterthought at most places. On top of that, they've got a great selection of sodas and other drinks, making it a perfect stop for a casual lunch. Bottom line: An unexpected gem with amazing food, top-tier service, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere. **Highly recommend -- 5 stars, 3 thumbs up from us.

    I visited here when I was in the area and on the way to the airport. I was hoping they would have…read moreLomo Saltado, but alas they didn't so I just settled on a Carne asada quesadilla and a Jamaica drink. This is a fast casual style restaurant and not a real fancy place. My picky colleague who's never had peruvian ordered the ribs. Quesadiladas - you get 2 in an order and these are different than Mexican ones since they have grilled bell peppers and onions. A bit pricy too...the rice and beans that come with this are just average. They only had 2 salsas for the table, a green ranch like one and a red spicy one similar to a spicy Mexican red sauce. I'm still looking for a peruvian restaurant that has the spicy green sauce that most all peruvian restaurants have in California.

    What a place! Walking in you really get the feel that you're transported to a tapas bar in Spain…read more Wife and I loved it so much that we came twice on our weekend trip, once for lunch, and once for dinner. Both experiences left us full and happy. Started with the potato dishes both times, papas and bombas, perfectly crispy and fluffy in the middle. I tried the cured tuna belly and have not had anything like it, melt in your mouth and thin as glass, with a great cured taste. Fried rabbit was wonderfully crispy and juicy, perfect with the sauce they provided. And the crab rice was amazing, like crab risotto with squid ink and an herby oil, danced in my mouth. Finally had churros and basque cheese cake, might've been the best of each that I've ever had. We had so much more than that but I struggle to find words to describe how good it all was, and everything was at a very approachable price. Will be back!

    Really enjoyed the versatility of options on the menu and felt like we had something to accomodate…read moreall of our dietary restrictions. The potato dishes were all well seasoned. The wrinkled potatoes did suprise us as we weren't expecting straight up potatoes, but that's probably more of an error on our part. The Setas a la Parilla was my personal favorite dish, and I thought the mushrooms were really well made, and would def recommend trying. The lamb in the Zorza de Cordero was a bit chewy for my liking. Overall, I will say we were a bit confused how this place is a Michelin star resturant. I think in terms of ambience, this place didn't fit our Michelin expectations as it was quite small. While the food was good, and homely, it wasn't really unique.
