Friendly little Peruvian restaurant in the heart of Cologne. Okay maybe it seems odd to go to a…read morePeruvian restaurant but I had just got into town after a very long two days of travel. And honestly I wonders in because it was close to my hotel. I was glad I did because I found some really friendly owners (two sisters) who have been in Germany for 26 years. One of the owners felt talkative and we practiced our communications skills in my terrible Spanish and her English to the amusement of us both. I learned all about the challenges the family faced in moving to Germany and learning to modify recipes so Germans would eat it. So the food, once they learned I knew what Latin food was supposed to taste like and more importantly that I actually liked real Latin foods they decided to give me something off the menu. She said I won't like what they have on the menu because it was all designed for German tastes apparently Germans don't like things very spicy and they don't the flavors that their traditional Latin foods have or at least they don't purchase them. so the meal they made me was something she would normally make for her family. It was a kind of marinated steak and Yucca plants and other vegetables. Then she brought out what she called a chili sauce that was very hot but also very flavorful, she said Germans would never eat it and she was surprised when she saw that I liked it. The owner said most customers don't like chilis or peppers here. we enjoyed the rest of the evening I ended up staying probably two hours. Everything that they brought out was very good. I got introduced to other members of the family, I got to go back to the kitchen and made friends with everybody there. I was invited to come back and made me swear that I would return before I leave to tell them goodbye. It was really good experience and fun to be close to the people who are serving you. Normally I would not like so much interaction but being alone it was perfect. If you go in ask to order off the menu if your adventitious.

It's very true....this little, easy to miss spot is a MUST NOT MISS!…read more Beef empanadas were so good that we fought over the last bite. Arroz y Mariscos - so flavorful, so fresh, and such an amazing depth of flavor and seasoning. The crispy Peruvian bread was fantastic. Ask for the HOT chili paste, mix it with the tasty sauce they bring out with the bread for a creamy and hot spread. Staff was charming. They were working on a mural of South America on the walls. Service is in Spanish or broken English/German. Point and smile - you'll be fine!! Enjoy!

The decorations were authentically Cuban. The service was also really good. My son had the nachos and my husband had the burrito. The only complaint from them was that the nachos made no mention on the menu of there being guacamole and the burrito didn't state that it had mushrooms in it.

Menu contains a very expensive item: Steak El Che. We decided to leave when we saw that. It and insult to the enslaved Cuban people that a restaurant puts the name of the Argentinian butcher on one of its plates. For the Germans to understand: it's the equivalent of opening a kosher restaurant and name a dish Hitler. Hope this review makes the owner change the unfortunate name that plate.
