    Ceviche

    Thank you, Warike! I was in the area looking for Peruvian food. I was a bit skeptical to try, but you guys nailed it! The ceviche was fresh, the papa rellena was delicious, the green sauce was perfect, and the lomo saltado was on point. As a Peruvian, I'm so happy to know you're keeping the real flavor alive!!!

    This place is known for having great Churrasco served with a delicious Chimichuri sauce. Food: No Churrasco, entree size calamari, (delicious but with red onions?) Chicken Milanese - deep fried dry/hard - almost impossible to eat. Mixed Cerviche - pretty good Service: Grabbed menus, sat ourselves, and waited 15 minutes before the server attended to us. Half an hour later we received our waters. Half an hour later we received entree #1 (mixed cerviche), 15 minutes later we received our appetizer., 30 mins later we received our 2nd entree. After being there almost two hours, we asked for the check, laid cash, and left. Ambiance: very small dining area, loud kids all around us on a late Sunday afternoon. TV playing Spanish soap operas, one girl who would rather not be there I'm sure serving the entire place. RIP

    Fish ceviche

    This place was close to the Airbnb we are currently staying at; I am pleased I have found this restaurant! From the outside it didn't look like much but THE FOOD!! The flavor of everything was so good; the portions were very decent, and I had some leftovers. We ordered a pitcher of sangria, which was refreshing and delicious. The service could use some work, not bad, but not the best; the lady attending the table didn't want to be there. The kitchen door was open, and we just had to thank the lady cooking because we were so happy! I want to come back for the aji gallina; it's my favorite Peruvian dish

    Terrific family-style hole-in-the-wall Peruvian restaurant. We came here because of the other good Yelp reviews... and we will be back again soon. 5 stars is a provisional rating; as we explore their menu, I will update this review. The food was very good. A good selection of meat and seafood dishes are available. My wife and I tried the paella (arroz con mariscos) and the ceviche mixto. My wife also shared a beef heart appetizer (not on the presented menu) with our friends. We've enjoyed several other Peruvian restaurants since moving to the Sarasota area, so we were hoping to order some of the new dishes (at least new to us) posted in the photos section of Yelp, but their menu has changed, or is a bit more limited in the off-season. The place is simple and clean. It may not be much to look at, but that is precisely why we call them hole-in-the-wall joints. :) The staff were very helpful and friendly.

    Jalea Mixta

    Small authentic simple clean restaurant. I am glad I found this on yelp and other yelpers reviews were helpful. We tried the friend rice, jalea mixta, Arroz Con Mariscos Dinner, Seco De Res and Pollo Saltado. They were all delicious. In fact I was only able to take a pic of only one dish because we dove right in as soon as the dish arrived on the table. There was only on server and perhaps one cook. It got busy after we came and the dishes came one by one versus all together.

    Ceviche was delicious, huge portion

    Delicious. I got the ceviche and it was a huge portion. Service was fast and friendly. I'll be back for dinner!

    Grilled tuna tacu tacu. Amazing.

    Wow. Bradenton lucked up getting this incredibly authentic Peruvian restaurant. Owned and operated by a Peruvian family, every dish we had tasted impressed the hell out of us. Youre gonna pull into this shady little strip mall and you are going to double check the address and not bc it is in an unsafe area but bc it is your webster's dictionary definition of hole in the wall. This is why you yelp though - you know this is going to be good. Once you step inside, it has a very inviting vibe. The owners very kindly welcomed eveyone inside. The decor is thrifty yet comfortable. Murals and pictures of scenes of Peru hang on the wall and while Peruvian fabrics hang from above. With spanish music playing lightly in the background, it created an environment that accentuated the south american cuisine without being overbearing. It was easy to carry on a conversation. The thoughtfulness and quantity of each dish really impressed us. Each dish was so IG worthy and i typically dont expect that with hole in the wall places. The portion size of each dish was generous to satisfy any appetite. Fish ceviche. Incredible. I ordered medium heat and it was perfect for me. The fish was tender and bursting with fresh citrus. I ordered the appetizer portion and was almost stuffed. Cilantro chicken soup. It was a sizeable bowl for an appetizer and My fiance loved it. It wasnt spicy just flavorful. Grilled Tuna Tacu Tacu. Just order it and send me flowers as a thank you for the recommendation. The last memorable seafood i ate was in NYC and nothing in all of Florida has come close to being that good. Burns - boring AF; Eddie V's - very good but not unique. The Char grilled ahi grade tuna eminated a smokey tones that would make any grill fan do a happy dance. The aji sauce made you want to break out your reusable straw and slurp it down. Sangria. It is quite large so we shared it. It isnt super boozy but it is very good. Get there before the word gets out.

    See all
