    We love this hidden gem in Norman for their excellent drink selection and Mexican dishes - it's close to everything but tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the 24th Street businesses north of Robinson and the best place to stop before the hitting up the nearby bowling alley! Recommendations: beergarita, sangria swirl, fajita enchiladas, spicy salsa.

    Papa a la huancaina. Bland, too little aji, too thin, too few potatoes, overpriced. Bad all around. 1/5
    Carla S.

    They served us a weak attempt at a Peruvian staple for our first stop in. Papa a la huancaina had too little potato, the sauce was thinned out and lacked color, lacked flavor, with no aji heat whatsoever. Also no included hardboiled egg, no olive. My guess is they're simpling it down way too much for the American pallet. That or they're cutting corners doing it too cheaply. Either way it was pretty pathetic, and at nearly $9 also overpriced, especially for what you're given. They did stay open a few extra minutes so we could make it for takeout, so I added back a star. I'm not sure if all of their Peruvian dishes are being done as cheaply as this. But this was an easy one to get right, and they missed pretty badly. If you go maybe stick with their Mexican dishes.

    Beef Burrito Dinner

    This place opened up near us recently. We went for lunch on a Thursday. Pretty busy for a weekday lunch. We ordered the burrito dinner and enchiladas plate. It came with unlimited chips, salsa, and queso dip. The service was quick and friendly. They refilled our chips and dips without asking. Food was great. It came out fast and hot. Definitely going back.

    First, the service is awesome. Friendly, efficient and timely. The food is all delicious. From the salsa and Blanca Queso, to every dish I've had. I try to have a different selection each time and I'm never disappointed. Clean and relaxed atmosphere. They have kept the plexiglass separators between booths which I'm very happy about.

Drinks we started with Inca Kola (lemonade) and Maracuya (Mango Juice). These were a great starter, not tarts but not overly sweet. As an appetizer we got Patacones con ceviche de camaron. These are fried plantains like chips, topped with shrimp and an amazing sauce that will make your mother water. It's served warm and best to be picked up and eaten. This will get you ready for your entree. For a fish entree we had Ceviche de pescado. This is a dish with fish and corn in lemon juice and hot peppers. It's served cold on a bed of lettuce with sweet potato slices. It's very easy on the eyes, flavorful, good mix between the fish and red onions. The sweet potatoes gave it a good contracting flavor. Best eaten with the hot peppers and lemon juice. Our final entree was Lomo Saltado. This is a beef dish served over beans and tomatoes with rice, red onions and cilantro sauce. I put a bed of rice down, covered with onion, then beans, then the beef (which had the most amazing tenderness) and topped with the cilantro sauce. The sauce pulls the whole meal together, and all the flavors works amazingly with each other. Finally we finished with Flan Lucuma. Picture traditional flan but instead of a caramel type topping it was covered in a Peruvian fruit juice that gave it some amazing flavor and not an overpowering sweet. We will definitely be back for more. The staff were so sweet and kind. Very helpful and helped us pick out some great choices. You won't be disappointed.

So first they tried to sit us at a round booth with a rectangle table that didn't fit so that was poor planning. We asked for a different table and they obliged, no biggie. The oldest young man told us we could scan the QR code for the menu and then left. The menu site had big ads that made it hard to be visible sometimes but we worked through it. He immediately came back and started asking if we knew what we wanted. He didn't even offer drinks, we had to ask and tell him we were figuring it out. We ordered appetizers and food eventually. The empanadas came out, the description said there was meat in them, I saw none. He asked us if we wanted plates, we said yes please and silverware. He brought plates, my husband had to get up and get silverware. Then almost immediately our food came so the timing was poor. The food came out a little at a time. Like our sides and then our mains with some space in between. As they left from the first round of drop off, one of the boys farted really loud right next to our table and just walked off. No excuse me. No I'm sorry. The food was fine and okay, the experience with the wait staff made it just not enjoyable. Also, the carne asada doesn't seem to be actually carne asada so it felt like a lot of things were not as promised. We watched them lock the door a half hour early so be aware they don't honor their posted hours.

Got three things - their pastelitos maiz, which are like corn based empanadas filled with rice and beef. We LOVED it - so good with the little slaw and pickled onions they served it with. And great portions too! Also got parrillada la fonda - which was their meat sampler served with some slaw, beans, and fried green plantains. Pros - literally everyrhing. Meats were seasoned and grilled great, and we loved the sauce that it was served with. Seemed like some kind of hot sauce + sour cream? Whatever it was, it was DELICIOUS. We looooved it. I also got one order of the catrachas to try - the menu doesn't say what it was so we were totally gambling on what it was, but it's a fried corn tortilla, topped with beans, pickled onions, and some cheese. Tortilla was a little soggy by the time it got to us but I bet it'd be delicious in store. All in all, loved the food. We'll go back in person one day so we can see the ambience and comment a little on the service, but for now - the food will keep us coming back for sure!

They just threw it together in one box squeezed all together but no doubt the sauce that was on the chicken was sweet and sour and just perfectly delicious for the chicken.

That dough was a little too salty but the beef on the inside was just sooo good.
