They have a Asian fusion menu but I ultimately went for the pollo saltado. It was cooked well and it is the only place where they have a really spicy green sauce. Without it can be a little bland. They also had a few chicken pieces with bone. My friend ordered the beef heart. He said it was delicious. The cheviche however was way too spicy for him. Despite him asking it to be mild. The star of the dinner was the chicha drink. It was sweet and refreshing. The service could have been quicker being that it was not that busy on the weeknight. Also the prices are alot more than other local Peruvian restaurants.

The pan con chicharron was incredibly packed, I could not even fit it in my mouth, so much flavor yet little fat. The tamal was good, not the best I've had but pretty solid. Both were "true" Peruvian servings. The jugo especial was very good!! It took me back to going to the mercado back home and getting one. The service is absolutely incredible. The owner is incredibly sweet and told us his story about his family's restaurant back home. They have plenty of seating and a nice bar area as well. I will most definitely be coming back to give their lunch and dinner dishes a try!

Their food is 10/10 with large portions, fair prices and most importantly, the food was flavorful and hit the spot! steak fried rice- lots of umami, generous portion and topped with scrambled egg. This is a must order! Bistek Ala pobre- a bowl of white rice, fried plantains, French fries and 2 pieces of steak seasoned very well. Breaded chicken with rice and plantains and fries- thinly breaded and crispy, a generous portion as well! Lime lemonade - a carafe we order- sweet and flavored just right! Base ceviche- a must order as well! Perfectly balanced and seasoned with lime and everything needed for a great ceviche. They have other kinds but I'd gladly order this again. Street parking, service is friendly, credit cards/ cash. Restrooms are clean.

THE DO NOT LIKE TO SERVE NON-HISPANICS. 12/11/2021 4:20 ish…read moreLets start this off by saying I am a Jamaican woman. For months I would come to this Spanish restaurant every single day because I Really enjoy their food. I have witnessed how they would treat non Hispanics and it's absolutely DISGUSTING. First incident I witnessed but I wasn't there for the full incident so I didn't really have a full understanding of what took place, however they refused to serve the woman because she didn't look very pleasant. The second incident they had a new worker and she was responsible for serving me let's start off by saying she wasn't happy to serve my food, I ordered stew chicken and Every single part of the chicken she put on my platter was the part with all bones so I had to ask her to please replace a few of them. Lastly today I had my final straw. I went there to get my usual stew chicken. There was another family ahead of me so I waited to be served next. Afterwards a couple came in after me while I was standing there waiting to be served. There is this old man, not sure if he is the owner but he has always been very unpleasant to people who weren't Hispanics. He came and served the couple that came in after me while I was still standing there without asking who was next. The gentleman looked and he continued anyway while I stood there and around in disbelieve as if I was invisible. They served that couple yes that came in after me. I was so furious at the discrimination. So I asked the lady working there if they do not serve non Hispanics and if there was anyone there that I could speak to that spoke proper English and they said no. No apology nothing whatsoever. It's so disgusting that we still have to deal with this in America. NEVER AGAIN I'm highly upset because I spent a lot of money there. Also I noticed I usually buy the same exact thing and most of the prices are different on my bank statement

The restaurant is BYOB, which we appreciate. We had some delicious Beef Empanadas for an appetizer. They were well filled and served with a tasty dipping sauce. My husband had the Picana Steak with Chimichurri Sauce and White Rice with Black Beans. I had the Sancocho. I absolutely loved this dish. Loved all the different textures and flavors. There is not a ton of meat, but it is very inexpensive. I was still full and satisfied after eating. My husband was very pleased with his dish as well. We shared the Coconut Flan and the Tres Leches Cake for dessert. Both were excellent! Good coffee as well We both enjoyed our meal and we will definitely return.

What is interesting about their menu is that they have something from the major regions of Ecuador, except for the bread. They have multiple kinds of pastries but no bread at the time we were there. The service was very good too. The only thing I will note is to stay alert on the bill regarding the gratuity if you are going to pay with a card. They just opened up about 3 months ago so they may still be working out the kinks of their system. We were accidentally charged for gratuity as we were looking to tip cash. Other than that, great small restaurant with great Ecuadorian food. We'll be back to try more!

The calamari was decent, but next time I'd ask for it extra crispy. The sauce on the side was delicious: sweet, savory, and had a little kick without being spicy. & now the ribeye? Absolutely marvelous. The Latin fried rice was chef's kiss, with veggies, shrimp, and a fried egg on top! so good. The tostones and maduros were cooked to perfection. The steak honestly didn't even need the chimichurri sauce, but I did dunk a tostone in it, and that sauce was full of flavor too. My waiter, William, was amazing from start to finish welcoming, attentive, polite, knowledgeable, & prompt. I finished with a cafecito for dessert, and it was flavorful and delicious. Next time I may add a little whipped cream. Thank you for a great visit. I'll definitely be back.

The restaurant is small, seating only about 25-30 people, creating an intimate atmosphere. However, the lighting is so dim that I had to take a second look just to read the menu. I'll start with the positive: our waiter was wonderful--friendly, attentive, and genuinely kind. My only criticism was that he couldn't really recommend a standout dish when we asked what the restaurant was known for. For appetizers, I ordered the octopus. Unfortunately, it was inconsistent. Half was perfectly tender, while the other half was so tough it was difficult to chew. It was served over an ajillo sauce that was good, but not enough to save the dish. My husband ordered empanadas. The steak filling was much better than the chicken. He asked if he could order one steak, one shrimp, and one chicken, but was told they don't allow mixing flavors. For my entrée, I ordered the ribeye with white rice and beans and added a lobster tail with butter sauce. The ribeye itself was cooked well, but the sides were disappointing. The beans had a strange flavor, and the rice was mushy and completely lacked seasoning. The lobster tail was fine, but nothing special. The ribeye was $58, and adding the lobster tail brought the plate to $72. At that price point, I expected an exceptional meal, not one where the sides were the weakest part of the plate. My husband ordered the skirt steak with peppers, French fries, and maduros. His steak was good, but we both agreed the side options felt like an odd combination. The menu could definitely use some more thoughtful pairings. We boxed up our leftovers, but unfortunately the food didn't even reheat well the next day. Our bill came to $233 for two people. On top of that, gratuity was automatically added, and there was a $10 fee for paying with a debit card. That was an unpleasant surprise and made an already expensive meal feel even more overpriced. For over $200, I expect to leave saying, "I can't wait to come back." Instead, I left feeling like I had paid Manhattan prices for a very average meal. Unfortunately, this wasn't the experience we were hoping for, and I don't think we'll be back. FYI: everything says M/P on it for Market Price. Which means they can charge you what they see fit which gives me an inconsistent vibe.
