Really wish I would've got a picture because the tamales here instead of being in cornhusk are in banana leafs. All of which was very good. Our waiter was very responsive came in took stuff off of our table when needed. Like the banana leafs or the plates later in the dinner when we were done because we did sit there and talk for a while and they were very polite about that. I will come back.

The guy…read morewas not able to understand anyone who ordered in english and it resulted in a few incorrect orders. Food: I had the ceviche both times. The first time it was good, the second time it needed help and I ordered salt and limes to fix it. Venue: this place is pretty and looks upscale and probably a decent looking place to take a date to. Parking: they have their own lot and parking is not an issue. Overall: it's not a cheap place but it seems like they use quality ingredients. However, the service and the food now have been hit or miss for me. I know a lot of people that really love this place. So i'm hoping the second time that I went here was just a fluke.

Honestly, the food was just okay. I had pretty high expectations for this Peruvian restaurant…read morebecause it was highly recommended to me, but unfortunately, none of the dishes I tried really stood out. Everything was lacking in flavor, and I don't feel like this was a great representation of the authentic flavors of Peru. I ordered the Causa Rellena, Lomo Saltado a la Pobre, Arroz Chaufa, and Ají de Gallina. While none of the dishes were necessarily bad, they were all pretty underwhelming and didn't have the depth of flavor I was expecting. My other complaint was the service. It was fairly slow, and we weren't offered refills or asked if we wanted any additional drinks throughout the meal. Overall, I really wanted to enjoy this place, but unfortunately, the food and service didn't live up to my expectations.

Peruvian cuisine in the Home Style: The owner is our chef tonight, Chef Gladys…read more These roasted kernels of (not corn) but something similar. like a cross between spanish peanuts and roasted corn. Yum, and free. Stained concrete floors. At first blush, common walk-in diner style seating, small and deli atmosphere, but, like a good chile it slowly creeps up on you. Little touches, like the posters that let you dream into Lima, wall adornments that feature rich carving, stitched alpaca rug... The chairs are surprisingly high quality wood backed diner's chairs, solid and all impeccably clean. Walls dripping with decorations, wall papers, Peruvian flags, woodcraft and some "tacky" decoration tinsel curtains from Valentines Day (probably on clearance at Party City), cleanly painted and bright walls. But, my wife, having been to Peru on a few mission trips verified, "this is Peru!". So, full marks on authenticity, atmospheric flavor, and the dishes she couldn't wait to dig into State-side. Lomo Saltado: Rich soft medallions of beef, with large sautéed red onion slices and herbs resting in the pan sauce with a pyramid of white rice and a pile of timber plank style potato fries. Both my wife and daughter order this. And it looks like we are homeless, because they both clean the plates so thoroughly, they might be mistaken for clean dishes when Jasmine returns them to the kitchen. I choose the Alitas Inka Brasas, but don't be dismayed by the fancy name, this is simply 6 buffalo wings with French Fries, see pic. But it feels festive to call it something foreign. They are delicious by the way, and the sauce has a good punch. You know when a pizza joint tries to offer chicken wings and they are the absolute worst things that exist in the fast food world...these are nothing like that! Jasmine brought us some green sauce that is Jalapeño verde and some red that is a native Peruvian Rocoto pepper blend that brings just enough heat to add it to every bite of french fry. different and fun. Videos running on several monitors are actually full of the owner cooking the dishes in the menu!! How cool and original is that!?! Loo Review: This is a little Best for Last bit, aside from the wonderful food...This bathroom is so nice! I did not see this coming...OK, it's not the most extravagant materials, but it looks like they gave Martha Stewart a small budget and said "do your best!" It looks like something out of the Hamptons or a resort in Lima. Bright crisp, cozy and calm...yeah, all of those, and it works. On theme with the color palate from the dining area, but so cozy and utterly free of the Latin party feel the main room emits. I really enjoyed this place and rank it in the top tier of themed loos I have ever reviewed. A bit pricey, but truly original and authentic to its claims, and all personally chef inspired. Definitely worth the visit and the experience! Thanks Gladys and Jasmine!

Food was amazing, the service was even better…read more I was craving some empanadas and I saw this place was highly rated so I thought I would give it a try. Just my bad luck, the time I came in there was a kids soccer team and their parents in front of me. I placed my order behind them and waited patiently. 5 mins later my name was already called. The gentleman behind the counter ( I assume was the owner) made food for me on the house because he told me it would be a while. 10 mins later my food was ready! Both the baked and fried empanadas were delicious. if i could only pick only one I would choose the fried one. but if youre looking for something lighter defiantly go for the bake one. Amazing food and service. Will back again

The portion was much larger than what you typically get at other restaurants, and it was very filling. I also tried some of their desserts, and they were great as well. I especially enjoyed the bread pudding with ice cream. Overall, everything was delicious, the portions were generous, and the service was great. I'd definitely come back!

Authentic Dominican/Caribbean food in Willowbrook. Who knew?…read more I remember this place from a birthday party decades ago. The space was a bit bigger (they've since redesigned it smaller), but the crowds were smaller. Success hasn't tarnished their food. It was a very rainy and soggy afternoons and the place was packed. We managed a table and ordered. Can't go wrong with the delicious shrimp mofongo. I honestly think the sauce is the icing on that cake, made all the more delicious with a squeeze of lemon. Whew! Service was fast and dinner came out at a reasonable pace. The owner is so friendly and stopped by our table to make sure things were good. Better than good! If you're in the Willowbrook area do yourself a favor and stop in for lunch or dinner. Prices are a little steep, but what's isn't these days?

I ordered the pollo guisado and moro, both were good and we have a little left over. My partner ordered the pica pollo and the fried chicken was decent. The food does take some time, and servers did not check in too often so I would recommend ordering ahead of time (unless you have a long lunch break), There are plenty of tables, but it is a little dark inside, 2 bathrooms inside. The juice was on the sweet side so just watered it down (wish they have smoothies), but they get 5 stars overall for the flavor and the price point. Plenty of parking as it's in located along other stores.

It fills the space in the best way possible and immediately pulls you in for the full experience. One thing that really stood out to me was the customer service. The staff was genuinely friendly and welcoming, which, unfortunately, hasn't always been my experience at other Colombian restaurants. Many places I've visited primarily speak Spanish, which can sometimes make ordering a challenge. Here, I felt completely at ease and well taken care of. We started with the beef empanadas, and I highly recommend them. The crust was perfectly crispy, while the filling was soft, flavorful, and comforting. Paired with their salsa, which had just the right kick of spice, it was an excellent combination that made for a strong start to the meal. I ordered my go-to favorite, the Bandejita. The presentation was beautiful and appetizing, but sadly, the bold flavors I'm used to just weren't quite there for me. The flat steak tasted under-seasoned, and I actually found myself adding salt, which I've never had to do before at other restaurants. The pork sausage also seemed a bit dry inside, but my husband said that's how it should be, so perhaps that was just my preference. The beans had a different flavor than what I'm accustomed to as well, not bad by any means, just noticeably different. On a positive note, the pork belly was perfectly crispy, exactly how it should be, and the plantains were sweet and cooked to perfection. Overall, the menu looks incredibly tempting, and there are still plenty of dishes I'd love to come back and try. While I may skip the Bandejita next time, I definitely plan on returning to explore more of what they have to offer.
