    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.

    Yucca fries, beans, rice, salad to go with

    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!

One of my favorite things about it is that it hasn't changed much over the years, but in the best way. It's family-run, the vibe is comfortable and familiar, and the staff has always been amazing. We've had countless dinners here with big groups (10+ people), and they deliver every single time. That kind of consistency is rare. What I order every single visit: Salad with house dressing, it's honestly one of my favorite dressings anywhere. Loaded Buckskins - You have to get these. Think a cross between a steak fry and a potato wedge, loaded with cheese and bacon, addictively good. Petite strip steak - Perfect portion, cooked and seasoned just right every time. Simple, consistent, and exactly what you want. They also bring out warm brown bread with your meal that just hits, and a side of applesauce that I've come to think of as the perfect little palate cleanser, such a simple touch, but it makes the experience feel even more classic. This is one of those places that feels like home. No frills, no trends, just really good food, great people, and decades of consistency. This will absolutely be a staple for me as long as I live in Sanford.

The outside of the building isn't much to look at. Some might pass by, we didn't. I rated the Cattle Ranch 4 stars but if 3.5 was allowed, it would be my choice. We were greeted right away and was seated. The inside of the building needs a refresh even more than the outside. However, the restaurant was busy, families eating, people laughing, sometimes the locals know, it's one of the locally owned restaurants, not a chain. This is a good sign. I'm all in on the local, hole in the wall places. Our Server and our service was excellent. Good menu, plenty of choices and the eight of us had just about everything, Porterhouse, Ribeyes, fillets, burgers, salads. Food was very good, no complaints, ample amounts on sides. Rest rooms were also in need of a refresh but the were working. All in all and after our experience we would return.

The restaurant has been beautifully redone and feels elevated without being overly stuffy. We made reservations through OpenTable and the service was spectacular.

The short rib was rich and fall apart tender, and the filet was cooked beautifully. Finished with the olive oil cake and crème brûlée cheesecake. The cheesecake was my favorite of the two! They also have happy hour from 4-6 PM, which is definitely worth knowing. Beautiful atmosphere, fantastic service, good cocktails and really well executed food.

    We have been here many times but this was our first time for magical dining. We were informed that…read morethey do not allow magical dining for parties more than 6, but our waitress persuaded the management to allow us. I thought that was weird. Besides- not all of us were doing it anyways and we always order a ton of stuff. Some lady came over and informed my friend that she could take her baby outside because it was crying. I was annoyed by that because the kid wasn't being terrible and was consolable AND it's Sunday night- not Friday date night or whatever. The audacity of that woman. Kids need to learn to behave at the table, yes, and the kid is one and he was doing pretty well. He deserved more of a chance. I don't have kids nor do I like them but I was not on board with that lady basically telling my friend to take a walk with her kid. Besides that- our server was great although she seemed a bit rushed. When we needed like a second to think she was immediately like - would you like more time? Do you need more time? Like ok lady. Go do whatever you need to do and come back. Stop making us feel rushed. Cocktails and drinks came out slow. I was glad to see a change in their cocktail menu. I feel like that is a weak spot for them, historically. I had a killer bee, which was awesome. My husband had the nutty old fashioned. We had two orders of the milk bread which comes w that citrus butter- yum. We also had their fabulous deviled eggs. One person had the French onion soup- looked good. For magical dining app, I did the magical dining w the tuna crudo, one gal got the beet salad, and her husband got the house salad. For magical dining dinner, all three of us got the Bakkafrost Scottish salmon. It came w roasted tomatoes and a piece of grilled fennel and lemon beurre blanc on the side. Yum. The rest of the table had the regular menu- an order of pork chop, the seabass, an 8 oz filet, New York strip and a ribeye. We ordered family style sides- French fries, broccolini, lobster Mac and cheese. For dessert, we had key lime pie x2, cheesecake x3, and brownie x1. The key lime has a whipped consistency- not traditional. The flavor is good but the texture was not my fave. Everything else was standard. All in all we had a nice dinner and good conversation. Service was great and attentive- coming back to refill water and get the next round of drinks and clear plates. She even boxed our food for us. I just think management needs a reality check. Don't deny large tables the magical dining. Only 3 out of 8 of us actually did it. And don't encourage your staff to tell customers with kids to take a walk.

We started with three empanadas -- Classic Argentinian, Mediterranean Beef, and Corn -- with the option of fried or baked. We went with fried for both texture and flavor, and that proved to be the right call. Each empanada was thoughtfully labeled on the crust for easy identification, a small detail that was appreciated at the table. All were generously filled and well executed, but the corn empanada was the standout for me, offering a slightly sweet, comforting balance that kept me going back for another bite. The house chimichurri, packed with garlic and fresh herbs, was an excellent addition and elevated both the empanadas and later the steak with bright, punchy flavor. For the main course, I ordered the house steak with fries. The cut is an outside skirt steak, typically known for having more flavor than an inside skirt, and it arrived cooked to a perfect medium rare. The steak had a nice beefy flavor, though it leaned a bit tough in texture and, in my opinion, could benefit from an overnight marinade to help tenderize the meat further. The fries were fresh, crisp, and paired nicely with both the steak and chimichurri. Service was friendly and the overall experience felt relaxed and welcoming. A solid first visit with flavorful offerings and a few standout items -- I'd gladly return to explore more of the menu, especially the empanadas.

The food: we were a group of 6 ladies and we ordered the Georgia peach salad, the tomato bisque (soup of the day) homemade bread (supposed to be focaccia but was actually French bread), salmon, cheese wheel pasta with shrimp, lobster linguine (I believe), filet and the cheese wheel with filet. For dessert: some molten chocolate (which burned my finger to no one's fault by my own as they did warn me) and the apple pie. The standouts: Georgia peach salad and tomato bisque, salmon & the cheese wheel pasta. As well as both desserts. Additional note: the service was great. The attention to detail to accommodate our coats and purses was thoughtful The cons: who charges $3 for a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese ? The chef is Italian and didn't think that the lobster one should have cheese on it. That's strange. Was it worth the hefty price tag - probably not Would I go again? Maybe for their happy hour but probably not for dinner.

    I have been there twice. The first time the food was fair at best. Overpriced but we made the best…read moreof it as it was a rare date night for my husband and I. The server seemed new. He was nice but appeared to need more training to be up to par for the price point. The decor was nice inside but the location does not give a good first impression and cheapens the experience. It is located in an older shopping plaza and is unkept. I think they are trying for a speakeasy vibe but it isn't being pulled off. The second time we went, we made a reservation to listen to their live music with some appetizers and a cocktail. It was spontaneous as we found ourselves child-free for the night at the last minute. Upon arrival we were told that 'we have a dress code and shorts are not allowed.' Mind you, the dress code says 'no gym shorts' and we didn't have on gym shorts or athletic wear. We weren't dressed up but were wearing decent outfits and nice shoes (no sandals of any kind). Needless to say, there will not be a third visit. Do not recommend.
