Once we entered, we were seated at our table; there is a good amount of seating inside. I ordered from the lunch menu, which consists of an appetizer, main and dessert. I started off with the empanada de queso which was very cheesy and tasty. For my main, I got the half rotisserie chicken which comes with two sides, I got the rice and salad. The chicken was solid and the green sauce and hot sauce mixed together made for a nice dip for the chicken. Also got a pitcher of this purple drink, forgot what it was called but it was good. For dessert I got the tres leches cake, which was the right amount after the big meal. The portion size is very big and for the price ($14.75), you cannot beat that. They give you so much and def worth the trip. If you're in the mood for Peruvian food, I highly recommend place. * Street parking * Good service

Absolutely amazing!!! Hands down my new go to Peruvian restaurant yet!! First off, it's BYOB!! How…read moregreat is that?! They provide glasses so bring whatever drink you desire. The establishment is clean and well kept up, the service was excellent, my server was so lovely and kind. The food came out so unbelievably fresh too! I ordered Lomo Saltado and it came out piping hot and flavorful! The chaufa was so well made, fresh, very well seasoned too. Their food portion sizes are great for the value, and well presented. They also serve house made bread, and provide roasted corn with green sauce and salsa (both of which were delicious). From the ambiance, to the service, and the food, 5 stars all the way around. I had a great night, I will be a regular customer, and so should you. Thankyou for having me!

And you know, auntie knows how to cook The food portions are so big for the price that you're paying it's insane. I ordered one meal and it turned it into two! Forget meal prepping. I'm just gonna order two meals at a time and be fed all week. My favorite is probably the stirfry rice with chicken and bunch of delicious flavors. Aka chauffa de pollo. I finally came in on the weekend so I could try their ceviche Mixto and it did not disappoint. I didn't get it this time but last time I came, I got the Lomo Salgado, which is basically like a sir, fry of veggies, french fries, and steak and that really hit the spot . So basically any food porn you want just come over here. It's not necessarily a hole in the wall because it's on the main Avenue but definitely one of the best Peruvian hidden gems!

It is a cute little restaurant where the family who owns it manages the front and cooks. The chef is an older woman who comes out of the kitchen every so often to check on the customers. My dad comes in here often and is greeted as if he is family which is how I discovered this place and honestly it offers an at home feel from how I was greeted with a hug the first time I went with him. Now I recommend all my friends order, or order take out when I have company. My absolute favorites are the bistec a la pobre which consists of a skirt steak, rice, fried egg, French fries, and sweet fried plantains. My second favorite is the lomo salteado which is a Peruvian classic ! Pair it with an Inca cola or chicha morada and you can say you've dabbled in Peruvian cuisine.

Long-time fan, but very disappointed lately…read more I've been going to Parilladas Danny for 10 years and introduced many friends to the place -- most of whom kept coming back with their families. The food is great, no doubt about it. But on my last visit, my friend and I ordered two ceviches and a big Chicha Morada. We split the bill and each paid separately. A 15% tip had already been added, so we didn't leave anything extra. Later at home, I noticed they had charged the 15% tip twice -- once on each of our bills. That's $8.33 each, not shared. Super unprofessional and left a really bad taste after such a long history with this place. Just be careful and double-check your receipts.

The ceviche tasted fresh and great. The Bistec was dry. Everything else was delicious. The service…read morewas very slow, had to asked for stuff multiple times. This restaurant is definitely family friendly.

Finally I could come to try this restaurant and I was gladly surprised, the hype is not fake…read more From the beginning, the attention from the personnel was super polite and respectful. I made a reservation and they've respected my request to be seated inside. The atmosphere inside is very vivid, like the name of the restaurant... it feels like you are in a party. My only wish is that they would play Peruvian music so the experience would be more immersive with the food. The menu is big and one of the things that I've liked was to see a lot of dishes that are not common in a Peruvian Restaurant outside Perú... like Aji de Gallina, Anticuchos and Picarones. Now the most important, the food... the quality was very good, since the plates arrived to our table, the smell and the presentation was a temptation to go all the way in. The ingredients used felt fresh and made to order. Every plate had its own characteristic and flavour... good size too. The "choco lucuma" cake for dessert was a great finish... moisty and the intensity of the chocolate and lucuma flavor to a good ratio. If you have the chance to try it... go for it, you'll not regret.

We ordered 2 dishes, the Lomo Saltado and 1/2 Pollo - both ended up lasting 3-4 meals which is great value! The Lomo Saltado was tender, juicy, and the sauce was savory, slightly sweet, and had a lot of depth. I wish there was more meat compared to everything else. loved that the sauce soaked up into the rice adding even more flavor to the bite. The French fries got soggy so I would suggest eating this first or be prepared to re-heat them if you can. The 1/2 Pollo was also tender, well-seasoned, and flavorful. It was absolutely delicious with the green sauce which cannot be skipped in every single bite. The Chaufa is a Peruvian-style Chinese fried rice mixed with eggs, chives, soy sauce; it compliments the chicken so well and can literally be eaten by itself too. The tostones were good but I wish maduros was an option as a side. I don't know why you can't substitute for that. All in all, good value, good flavors, and very filling!

Service was okay, I asked to eat inside the restaurant and sit down and the lady at the counter said no because they would need to charge me to sit indoors which I had already paid $20 for the rice meal. The business was empty with only two tables being used so I thought it was not great customer service to not let me sit down and eat my food if the restaurant wasn't busy. Idk why the extra charge was needed, I am a paying customer so I left. I recommend the food but mixed opinions on the customer service experience I had here. The ambiance is family oriented in a Spanish neighborhood.
