I have tried Peruvian restaurants in many different countries and this one was definitely below average. The food lacked the usual flavor key in Peruvian cosine - aji amarillo - equivalent to not having basil and tomatoes in italian food. The causas didn't taste right, lomo saltado was bland, and the ceviche was terrible. I don't usually leave reviews, but I felt this one experience merits the extra effort. I leave two stars because people were nice. Wont be going back.

It's a small clean place with English speaking staff when I was there. The menu is in German so I had to guess what I got. The restaurant claims it is Columbian. I had the Bandeja Paisa which was a combo plate of rice, fried egg, fried plaintain, pork belly, sausage, pancake, avocado, beans and ground beef. It was lightly seasoned and enough for me, a good choice. This place is cash only.

And honestly I wonders in because it was close to my hotel. I was glad I did because I found some really friendly owners (two sisters) who have been in Germany for 26 years. One of the owners felt talkative and we practiced our communications skills in my terrible Spanish and her English to the amusement of us both. I learned all about the challenges the family faced in moving to Germany and learning to modify recipes so Germans would eat it. So the food, once they learned I knew what Latin food was supposed to taste like and more importantly that I actually liked real Latin foods they decided to give me something off the menu. She said I won't like what they have on the menu because it was all designed for German tastes apparently Germans don't like things very spicy and they don't the flavors that their traditional Latin foods have or at least they don't purchase them. so the meal they made me was something she would normally make for her family. It was a kind of marinated steak and Yucca plants and other vegetables. Then she brought out what she called a chili sauce that was very hot but also very flavorful, she said Germans would never eat it and she was surprised when she saw that I liked it. The owner said most customers don't like chilis or peppers here. we enjoyed the rest of the evening I ended up staying probably two hours. Everything that they brought out was very good. I got introduced to other members of the family, I got to go back to the kitchen and made friends with everybody there. I was invited to come back and made me swear that I would return before I leave to tell them goodbye. It was really good experience and fun to be close to the people who are serving you. Normally I would not like so much interaction but being alone it was perfect. If you go in ask to order off the menu if your adventitious.

This is a good thing as sound travels quite well within the confines of the space and all snippets of conversation were instantly heard. I was keen on ordering an empanada and the bistro carries both Colombian and Argentinian varieties. The owner mentioned what the fillings were to me in Spanish. Pollo, Carne, etc...-no problem. I wasn't sure what sort of empanadas I had had in the past, so I asked what the difference was between those from Colombia and those from Argentina. The owner then recited what the fillings were again, but, this time, in German, then he retreated from the table. Okay, thanks for the repeat. I decided to get up and take a peek at the display counter and I could see that the difference was contained in the pastry casing around the filling. Colombian=cornmeal pastry; Argentian=white flour pastry. Why the owner couldn't communicate that I don't know. An empanada was chosen, put on a panini grill to be warmed up and shortly delivered to my table. Unfortunately, my snack hadn't yet thawed out since it had been pulled from the freezer and was still frozen on its underside while being marginally warm on its top half. An unexpected bite into something frozen (crunch!) is pretty funky, but not a huge problem. I got up and asked if the empanada could be heated a bit more and mentioned that it was still partially frozen. After a decent wait of almost ten minutes the empanada was delivered back to the table replete with wee bite that I had spit out. Had it also been warmed up on the panini grill? Figuring that the darn thing would be now super hot, I took a cautious bite and burnt my mouth anyway. Ooopsie. After that, the whole thing tasted like 'hot', if that makes any sense. I'd chalk the experience up to an off day all around. However, would I be inclined to go back? Naw. From the looks of things, both the blended juices on offer and the home made cakes on display might be the way to go here.

We were very disappointed and honestly still very hungry even though we ordered the 8 tapa plates each. We were given 3 tiny pieces of chicken and 3 tiny shrimps for two of the plates.
