Peruvian food can be very very good, and D'Candela was fantastic. The Lomo Saltado was very good…read more We've had it a few places and D'Candela's is as good or better. The Aji de Gallina (from the menu: "Chicken in walnut sauce. Served with potato, boiled egg and white rice") was incredibly good, although it didn't taste like walnuts to me. Doesn't matter, I'd get it again. Service was great, our server was very nice and attentive. We went at a random time so we were the only people there. Music was not loud or non-existent (thank you). Hoping to go back again soon!

This is where I will be going whenever I get a craving for Peruvian…read more Papa à la huancaina - one of my fav Peruvian dishes. Creamy yellow pepper sauce smothering a freshly boiled potato. Excellent. The pollo saltado - chicken stir fried with onions and tomatoes. The sauce poured over French fries, so they soak in all the juices. A side of white rice makes for the perfect side. Rotisserie chicken - this was the reason we came, and damn did it deliver. Incredibly moist and full of flavor. The green pepper sauce it comes with pairs perfectly. It's got a little subtle kick to it. The staff was great and super friendly. Food came out quick and was so fresh. Prices are super reasonable, and portions are large. The dining room is large and comfortable but no frills - the focus is on the food, as it should be.

We split the Tacos Dorados De Pollo En Consomé as an app for the first time today and it was simply perfect. The lemonade is made super fresh. I have a feeling I may have to try everything on the menu. The energy is immaculate - maximalist mix of colorful tables and chairs, plants, original paintings, and a signed poster of Guy Fieri. The people who work here are so kind and helpful. The music is not so loud that you can't talk. There's an open-air indoor area and an outdoor section. If you get here before it gets too crowded, it's not a bad place to sit and read a book either.

The cocktails are thoughtfully crafted, and the ingredients work so well together to complement each other. I especially loved the pão de queijo and the empanada trio! Cesar, one of the bartenders, was incredibly friendly, funny, and welcoming, which made the experience even better. We'll definitely be coming back--especially on Mondays when they offer an industry discount!

This restaurant was absolutely amazing. I had the mango enchiladas, which came with rojo pozole…read more Everything is freshly made to order, and you can definitely taste the difference. The mango salsa was complemented perfectly by the goat cheese placed on top. The combination of flavors worked extremely well together. The rojo pozole isn't pictured, but it was just as good. The spices were perfectly balanced, there was a great amount of chicken, and it came out at the perfect temperature--hot enough to enjoy, but not so hot that you have to blow on it before every bite. Make sure you make a reservation because the restaurant is small and fills up quickly. Overall, this is a great spot, and I'd definitely come back.

The food specials were amazing, the owner was incredibly generous with special shots for the house, and the staff went above and beyond to make everyone feel welcome. In a city full of exceptional restaurants, Estrella Negra truly stands out as an adorable neighborhood gem. The vegetarian pozole was unforgettable, and the fish tacos--especially with the signature sauce--were fantastic. Beyond the great food, drinks, and service, it is the exceptional hospitality and warm "family vibe" that make it a special home away from home. We cannot wait to return.

They're perfect together. So much flavor. Very tasty. I had a NA piña colada that came in a fun flamingo glass. The papa bravas were so good as well. The Cuban oxtail is a pasta fish w oxtail inside. Very rich and delicious. Husband ordered the bone in rib eye, which took a bit too long to come out so we were stuffed by the time it came out. It was cooked really nicely though and was nice to take home to eat at another time. The inside is small and cozy. We will mos def be back! There's pay to park street parking outside.

We tried: - Biscuits and Gravy - Plato Paisa Everything was flavorful and to me, the beans in the Plato Paisa were standout. The chorizo in the biscuits and gravy was slightly sweet, but that didn't detract.
