They recently did renovations which I think definitely made the place look better. You also can't beat the prices here. If you're looking to try some authentic Peruvian snacks this place is fully stocked. I go here because it is convenient, quick and I'm in and out. Whether I dine in or do take out. Give it a shot if you're in the area! ps. Love the chicken and green sauce here

I always order to go from this restaurant. However, I realized they constantly overcharge me and…read moreI'm beginning to think it's because I speak English and there seems to be a communication barrier. When I order a 1/4 of the chicken and fries and salad (the combo that they advertise to be $14-18), it runs me about 20-25$ including them adding extra sauces. However, I tested this theory. I let my Spanish-speaking friend order pick up over the phone and asked the lady on the other end what the price was. She says to me it'll be $15. Here I am thinking I'm gonna pay $15 when I get to the restaurant. I go in and tell the lady (in English) I ordered the chicken with the rice and beans. I end up paying $20-22 for my meal.. beware!

The trio of protein is an off menu item because the menu offers a choice of only one protein. Boy, was I disappointed in my order! The seafood tasted like it had been defrosted before cooking. It did not taste fresh. I had the Passionfruit Pisco, which was too sweet, and it tasted like it barely had any liquor in it. For dessert, I had the tres leches, which had a skimpy amount of sweetened condensed sauce (about three tablespoons), and when I asked him for more, Cristian responded that there was no extra sauce available. I have been to way better Peruvian restaurants than this--especially in Queens. The decor is nice though. I will not be back. This is one and done.

The grilled steak was very well done and I had to use a knife and fork to cut it in pieces. The chicken tastes smoky and kind of stiff. You need to use a knife to cut it into pieces. The rice was very good with the beans. Very seasoned and somewhat salty rice. Everything is overly well done and steak and chicken are very thin and wide pieces. The whole interior reminds you of living in South America with the floor square tiles in orange like a bathroom. There are many red gated fences all over the restaurant. Seems like I'm in eating in Colombia. I did not feel like I was in America and the sky was very cloudy that day like in Colombia where it is gloomy and cloudy fogginess type of vibe. There is a lot of parking spots though.

The menu clearly states that prices do not include tax, which is perfectly fine. My issue is not…read morewith paying tax, it's with how I was charged. The owner, who was working the register, charged me more than the menu prices plus tax. It appeared that she rounded up the total and added extra charges that didn't match the posted prices. When I asked the employees about the pricing, every one of them said they didn't know because only the owner handles the pricing. I asked for an itemized receipt because the total didn't seem right. Once the receipt was handwritten by her, it showed I had been overcharged, and the owner immediately had to issue me a refund. What was most frustrating was how casually the situation was handled, as if overcharging a customer was no big deal. If your costs have increased, update your menu prices. Don't charge one price on the menu and something different at the register, she claims she's charging you tax but she's rounding up amounts to the nearest dollar and even more on some items like the rotisserie chicken. She's stealing from her customers and then became upset and raised her tone of voice when she got caught. She's also not nice to the employees, you can tell they are afraid of her. My advice to anyone eating here: always ask for an itemized receipt and check your bill before you pay. Don't assume the total is correct just because the owner is ringing you up. There were also flies on the food served at the buffet so we asked for take out. The food was good but she ruined everything for us because she's very rude and unprofessional.

BEWARE!!! My family…read moreof four went to Las Delicias de mi Tierra (1262 Suffolk Ave, Brentwood) because my mom spoke highly of the food. Keep in mind--we were a group of four. The menu states in fine print: "We charge $5 + service tips when the party is 5 or more." My mother ordered a soup but found it tasted old. When we informed the waiter, he was attentive, and my mother even praised his excellent service. However, when the manager got involved, he told us that if we didn't accept the soup, the cost would be taken out of the waiter's pay. This is not only unethical but illegal--an employer cannot deduct an employee's wages over customer dissatisfaction. That should have been our cue to leave. Unfortunately, we stayed--and soon regretted it. When the bill arrived, we noticed they had wrongly applied the automatic gratuity to our group of four. My mother went to the register to respectfully point this out, holding the menu as reference. In response, the owner grabbed the menu from her hands and dramatically ripped it into pieces while declaring that all the prices were wrong. She assumed we were arguing about food prices when, in reality, we were only trying to correct the mistaken automatic gratuity charge. At no point did the restaurant have signage stating the menu prices were outdated, nor were we informed of any price changes. Still, the owner escalated the situation, became irate, and showed clear disgust when we questioned the automatic gratuity charge. As I tried to de-escalate, simply asking to be rung up so we could leave, she dismissively told me, "You are in a Spanish restaurant, speak Spanish." The microaggression was completely unwarranted. She then falsely accused us of harassing the waiter--despite our repeated praise of his service. When my mother reiterated how great he was, the owner sarcastically snapped, "If he's so good, why don't you take him home with you?" This restaurant may have "good" food, but the owner's hostility ruins the experience for anyone who dares to speak up. What should have been a simple correction of an incorrect automatic gratuity charge turned into an unnecessary escalation. After leaving, I checked Google reviews and found many others who had similar experiences with the owner's attitude. One of the co-owners, Christopher Goicochea, provides his personal number for complaints. When we called, his only response was, "What do you want me to do about it?" This lack of accountability is reflected in how the owners aggressively respond to negative reviews rather than addressing their behavior. If the restaurant wishes to dispute this review, I offer them to release the unedited restaurant footage and audio. Otherwise, I suggest they: - Clearly post signage if menu prices are outdated - Print updated menus - Encourage the owner/s to improve how they interact with customers and handle concerns more professionally If you value being treated with respect, AVOID THIS PLACE. For the record: After the automatic gratuity was corrected, we paid our bill in full and even left a cash tip for our wonderful waiter, who truly deserved it.

I sat here one Friday evening at the bar…read more The bartender gave me a side of Peruvian roasted corn with a side of spicy yellow and spicy green sauce. This was my first time tasting spicy yellow sauce (salsa a la huancaína), and I could not get enough of it! It was so good that I will make it at home to flavor poultry and fish. I ordered the Seafood Arroz Chaufa. The seafood was unbelievably fresh, and the portion was big enough for two people to share, but the rice needed more seasoning. The bartender made the Passionfruit Pisco Sour "strong with just a hint of sweetness", and it came out perfect! The interior looks perfect for date night and a meal with friends or family, and the table place settings are chic (see photo below). A shout out goes to the bartender and chef for giving me a wonderful Peruvian dining experience! I will return to try other things on the menu.

The food was excellent, i had their salmon tar tar and grilled octopus (entre) it was delicious…read more other orders in my group included the picaña, salmon and some other apps that were being raved about! The customer service is great from the girl making reservations over the phone to the ones at the table. Live music is always a plus for me! there was a 1 man show on Saturday night. Why i didn't give more stars: the drinks took very long, i would say 10 minutes for the sangrias and 15 minutes for mojitos/ martinis which is a long time just to get drinks (first thing we ordered) although they took long, the drinks were good. The other reason was due to feeling rushed out of the restaurant a few mins after 10pm although i made reservations at 8 because maps showed me that they close at 11pm on Saturdays. Check was brought to the table without asking if we wanted anything before closing out which i thought was odd. i would encourage them to follow the times listed for closing, totally understand an early night for everyone but they could give guest more time without giving off a rushing feeling, i would never stay past closing time and i believe we were out of there before 10:30. WiFi is available almost everywhere these days but it was not here, just something to keep in mind (we asked for it to connect my daughters iPad) All in all, i would return to try more of their food items, seems like that have a great chef!

They provided a small coffee cup of the red sauce and a ziplock bag full of their cabbage and carrots (kinda looks like Cole slaw). As soon as I arrived home, my family and I devoured them. I have to admit, this was some of the best pupusas I have tasted in a long time. Definitely will be going back for more!
