    Lomo Saltado

    This place offers fast service delicious Peruvian food. I tried the lunch special stir fry dish Lomo Saltado with Causa de Pollo. So good. I ordered 2 orders of Peruvian chicken to go for my friends. Stay tuned how the like it. The hostess was very kind and offered additional sauce.

    The food is delicious, fresh and good size portions for the cost. The service was a little slow but it was a busy Friday night and only 3 people were working. The decor is simple and clean and the ambiance is casual.

    A surprise visit here with my son and his family. Service was great. We had the fried snapper which was excellent. I would recommend the whole snapper.

    The decor was up to standard for a smaller restaurant but didn't feel too crowded or tight. The food was pretty good, and the portions were adequate for the price. I was very satisfied with my meal and had plenty, so I wasn't left wanting more. Our server was very professional and courteous considering the large group we had. I would recommend this place if you're in the area and looking for latin cuisine.

    This is a little gem in Longwood. Chicken was so good. I haven't had good Peruvian style chicken in a while. We ordered a whole chicken that came with 2 generous side portions. We decided for Yuca Fries and Fried Plaintains. Both really good. I also ordered the Garlic Potatoes. The only item I did not like. Staff was friendly and didn't have to wait too long to get the food. Can't wait to go back. We finished that chicken in record time.. it was that good.

    Yummy quick lunch spot for some good Peruvian food. Perfect spot to do a pick up order. The restaurant is nothing fancy, but the service was excellent! Food came out fast and it was all delicious. Fair pricing!

    Chicken plate with fries and a salad

    Had an excellent dinner here tonight. All of the food was really tasty. Highly recommend the chicken plate. The chicken was really well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The side salad was fabulous! We will be back for sure. Great mom and pop place. Comfortable and clean inside, nice music and the waitress was super sweet.

    Being in the area I decided to give this Pervian cuisine small place a try. I am typically skeptical of Spanish food these days as I prefer not to bother if I can make it better to my liking at home. I was wrong though, I got the rice and beans and salad with yucca fries all to give a try. The rice used seemed like jasmine rice and it was freshly made (as I don't put it past these days to get stale food - pet peeve). The beans/frijoles had flavor and paired well with it. The yucca fries also piping hot and fresh - not overly oily either, my other pet peeve.. The side salad and side dressing was a nice touch to have with the lunch. I read in the past reviews they have good dips/sauces so I made sure to ask. She offered garlic sauce, a hot green sauce, and salad dressing I went with all 3 and it did a great job of enhancing it all. Service was busy but still welcoming - I forgot to order my typical mango smoothie and despite someone waiting in line she was still nice about having to ring me up twice. The mango smoothie half milk half water is my thing and it didn't disappoint here. The lighting was lacking a bit inside and it was busy so I decided to take it out and eat outside. Also, not sure if service is always quick there but my food came out in about 5-10 minutes while still fresh! Il def be back for another dish.

    Absolutely exceptional experience. The service was fast and helpful. The food was hot, perfectly cooked, and delivered quickly. The restaurant was spotlessly clean. I will absolutely be back.

    Recommended by a Peruvian friend and it did not disappoint! Went for Sunday lunch and it was not very crowded but it did begin to fill up later (still early afternoon). The food was amazing, the atmosphere very pleasant, and the service beyond friendly. Either intend to go there or be drawn in by the amazing smells from the kitchen. Either way, you won't be disappointed!

    Excellent food. Tried for the first time. Went to a beer and plant event and then decided to try this place. Did not disappoint. I ordered basically the house fried rice and it was so flavourful, I'm not a big calamari fan but in that fried rice it was cooked perfectly!! Will go

    A little bit salty for my taste but I told the waitress and they made it fresh all over again so I was surprised !! It was delicious and really well cooked with fresh ingredients. The pollo taste was so good... the portions were huge and the 3 of us had more than enough for sure. The drinks were ok. It is about 30 mins drive for us but We will come back again for sure.

    Their logo. Nice, small place.

    I have only now just found out about this place? We found it on a lark because my son was hungry- but for something we never had. So I threw out the idea of Peruvian food?! And with that; we came across this wonderful restaurant. It is a little hidden, right next to a bar and in a shopping center. Very subtle, but it's there! It isn't a huge steakhouse by any means, but big enough for a couple of families and a few couples/duos in search of a great meal. I got a chicken and rice dish with onions atop and mixed veggies within. My son got a fish dish which looked delicious, and had what seemed like a full salad as a side - with rice. Both meals were tremendous! So much food! And seasoned just right. The rice was cooked perfectly- just dry enough so that it made you drink to wash it down as opposed to drying out your mouth. Furthermore, the place is clean and staff friendly. The woman who took our order sensed my son didn't know what he was getting with his first choice (raw fish) , so she guided him to something more his liking. Service was quick and prices are sensible. Great food and service. Will be back!

They were very nice and I did have everything I needed in the bag by the time I brought it out to my car. The fries were so beyond soggy. The "ventilated" lid did nothing except trap water in. When I took off the lid to the fry trays, the water from the steam of the fries dripped all over the table, my leg, and shoes...that's how soggy they were. All in all, my coworkers still love Raising Cane's and demolished 3 trays of chicken tenders, two trays of bread, and one tray of fries.

I have heard so…read moremany good things about the food here so figured I'd try for a quick lunch while I was out and about. Service was fast and friendly and it looked like a good spot. I ordered the chicken fingers, fries and a drink. Just the standard experience of a chicken shop. It came with some coleslaw and a piece of Texas toast so that was a nice addition. The food was all good. The crinkle cut fries are a favorite of mine so that earns points with me. The chicken was good. Better than some of the other fast food spots but wasn't overly flavorful. The sauce was good. Couldn't put my finger on it but it had a good flavor that complimented the chicken. Coleslaw and toast were both great sides. Overall, I'd give them another shot if I was craving chicken. It wasn't the greatest meal I'd ever had but it was definitely good. I think there was a lot of hype from people I talked to before trying it but in the end, it was a good meal.

    To start off, we walked in and the atmosphere was absolutely beautiful. We were instantly greeted…read moreand walked to our booth right away. My husband and I had never been there before so as a first timer the scene was just relaxing and spa/modern feel and our server Abbey was top notch. Since we had never been there before she recommended us to try the Tiradito Hamachi and it was to die for! She was on top of her service while we were there which was about an hour. We were loving the food, drinks and Abbey that we had to just stay a little past our meal to take it all in. We thought about desserts but the portions were a great size that I might have to save room next time we go in for some. I highly suggest this restaurant to anyone who wants to try a new place. Thank you again Abbey, you KILLED IT!

Very jovial people served us all night long, the drinks were plentiful and quick. And the pacing of the dinner was good, even though we were doing Magical Dining, we didn't feel rushed. The food was insane. Huge portions, huge flavors, and little ingredient choices that had a big impact on the overall dish. Really great food. Cons: Not a single con. There are so many ingredients in each dish, maybe just make sure they're all present on the plate when the food comes out. Tips: As a cost analysis, pay the $5 more for the beef heart app. It was very very good. Everything else was good as it was, though.
