    Empanada.
    Jeanne W.

    I always enjoy Peruvian cuisine. This restaurant is small but has a nice, comfortable vibe for dining in. I ordered an Empanada to start and Pollo Saltado for my dinner. The Empanada was filled with seasoned beef, olives, and hard boiled eggs. The filling was flavorful although the crust was more tender than crisp. It could have used some additional time to attain a decent outer crust. Pollo Saltado consisted of a large portion of tender, boneless chicken, stir fried with French fries and onion and served with steamed rice. It was delicious accompanied by the rice but was very salty from the soy sauce by itself. (This is an extremely common occurrence with this particular dish due to the varying salinity level of different soy sauce brands.) Since the saltado had a good overall flavor, if I were to order this again, I would recommend requesting that the food be made with a little less soy sauce. A dinner roll and butter blend was also served with this meal. The Chicha Morada I ordered as a beverage was delightfully delicious and refreshing from the mix of various fruit juices. The waitstaff were polite and efficient. There were no problems for me as for the service. The restaurant is freeway close to the 10 and there are plenty of parking spaces in the lot. Most of their business seems to be take out but dining in is also a good option. The video stereo system, providing the background music, played some nice tracks which made for an enjoyable experience. I would definitely entertain a return visit soon.

    Chicken is way too salty!!!!!! Service is ok, although they can do better or be more friendly. Somehow the food is not as tasty as many Peruvian dishes i tasted. Ill definitely not go back to give it a second try. Unfortunately my family and 1 left percent unsatisfied.

    Food is always yummy as usual! Service was excellent! The server was so friendly and the cook is a doll! Everyone is always so attentive. Took a plate of ceviche home for my boyfriend and he said it's the best he's had.

    Tried this place while out shopping, glad we did. Found a place to sit quickly with the menus. I've never eaten Peruvian food per se, and I was not disappointed. Food came out hot and tasted great, loved the char on my steak. The noodles had a lot of flavor including the tomatoes and onions. My wife had a meal with steak, fries and rice and with the sauce, it was also wonderful. I would eat here again. Don't know why it has only 3+ stars, I found it a very good place to eat. Prices were within most places and the staff was very friendly.

    The food was really good, and the lady who was the server very nice, they change a lot the place , good ambiance and peruvian music. Recommend to eat the fried rice mix , with some lemon and mayonnaise delicious.

The Ensalada Duranguense and ribeye steak were the stars of the meal. The ribeye was excellent done perfectly and came with delicious extras definitely a five-star surprise. The drinks had great flavor, although, being Mexican, I prefer my drinks like my opinions: a little stiffer. They were good, but they could use a bit more alcohol. The tacos, however, were not a 5 for the price, at a fancy restaurant, I expected something special, but honestly, you're better off buying street tacos and saving your money. Don't order the tacos unless you enjoy paying premium prices for an experience that leaves you wishing you had gone to the taco truck. Overall, the service was great, the drinks were flavorful, and the Ensalada Duranguense and ribeye were fantastic. Just skip the tacos--and ask for Sarah if you visit!

Seriously? The food is mid, for sure. We've tried various items, from the steak nachos, guac, and more. The service is incredibly slow. To the point where each time I've had to literally seek out a server and ask if they've forgotten about our order. The servers are not familiar with the menu or common off-menu cocktails. I really wanted to live this place. It's down the street from my house, has awesome views, and has aspirations for being cool. But, the execution could not be any worse. I just don't get why they'd waste the opportunity they have when they've obviously invested so much.

    Food trucks have been around for quite some time, but finding a cluster of them in a single…read morelocation in Riverside is rather new to me. On a sparsely traveled side street that separates the Target parking lot from the 91 freeway, is an attraction that will have you slamming on your brakes and craning your neck to see what the fuss is all about. The day we came, a Sunday afternoon, there were about 10 different, brightly colored trucks lined up along the curb, lights flashing, music blaring, and lines starting to form. You can park your car in the adjacent parking lot, there's plenty of room! Yes, this a very successful food truck according to Yelp. And by far the most patronized truck I saw that day. Inside the tiny galley kitchen are 4 hustling adults, including sweet Isabelle, the food ambassador of a husband and wife duo. I loved her enthusiasm and bright smile. At this point, I want to mention that Columbian taste buds are more finicky than many of their Central and South American brothers. So do not expect hot chile anything. Their palates prefer milder, not spicy foods, even though one of the sauces served with the empanadas was a garlicky, bright, herbal, oily sauce, not unlike the Argentinian chimichurri sauce. They call it aji (ah hē). I find it very addictive. Bandera Paisa - this is a combo plate that features a fat, Columbian chorizo (a non spicy sausage), a pile of moist shredded beef, a large strip of pork belly, white rice, Columbian red beans, a fried egg, avocado, and several pieces of fried sweet plantain. There is also one Cheese Arepa included. This dish can easily be shared by two and is a phenomenal deal and interesting taste adventure. Beef Arepa. This is basically a fried masa pocket substantially filled with their signature shredded beef, then topped with guacamole and white cheese. This is very similar to their beef empanadas, so I would encourage ordering one or the other, not both. It's big. Beef Empanadas (3). This is not your usual empanada. The generous beef filling is made from their sensational slow-cooked, flavorful shredded beef with a hint of corn and vegetables. The pastry is actually made of a coarse grained masa, formed into the traditional moon-shape, then deep-fried. It is heavier and far more filling than what I am accustomed to, but it has a chewy, coarse textured mouth appeal and rich flavor. One order is 3 empanadas. They offer an interesting variety of drinks, the most notable being their iced Columbian coffee (intensely rich, creamy, and sweetened) and a Passion Fruit Slushy that is an exotic fruity perfection. Both are pre-made and served out of a dispenser. Columbiana soda, plus other sodas and juices, are available in bottles and cans. The only downside is the seating. A few wooden tv trays and canvas folding chairs are set up on the uneven dirt adjacent to the sidewalk. It appears that using the sidewalk is off limits for seating. I loved their cute, vibrant Cuban music, but oftentimes it became overwhelming as it competed with another truck's equally loud Mexican music right next to them. That, and the seating, effectively convinced me that eating my food elsewhere was probably a better idea, even though sweet Isabelle was frequently checking in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. Our bill was really reasonable, considering the amount of food we had. It was approx. $42, and there was plenty to bring home for another day.

We came late on a Friday night and it's great to find a bustling place that's open around 10pm.

We were too full to try more but everything looks delicious and we will definitely be back for more. Highly recommend.

We arrived at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, and the restaurant was pretty empty, with only about two other tables dining. When we ordered, we were told they only had two chicken breasts left. We had driven 45 minutes specifically for the chicken, so we settled for the chicken breasts. Unfortunately, the chicken was very dry and cold, as if it had been sitting under a heat lamp for quite some time. We also ordered the lomo saltado and specifically requested no tomatoes. When our server brought out the dish, I immediately noticed there were tomatoes on it, so I reminded her that I had asked for no tomatoes. She walked over to the wall that separates the dining room from the kitchen and loudly yelled to ask if the order had been made without tomatoes. About a minute later, she brought the same plate back and said there were no tomatoes. However, while eating, we found a large piece of tomato in the dish. Our server also never checked on our table. We constantly had to wave her down whenever we needed something. At one point, another table even had to tell her that we were trying to get her attention. We've never had this type of experience here before, and it's disappointing because we've always enjoyed coming here. Unfortunately, after today's experience, we will not be coming back.
