We went back to try their seafood soup as I've been thinking about it ever since we tried it. The soup was delicious! It is served on a very large container that made it large enough for the 2 of us. We actually ended up splitting it and having leftover broth. I saw others bringing home leftover broth as well. I'll be adding some more seafood to my leftover broth for another meal. My partner ordered the trio and enjoyed it as well. The owner is a fantastic hostess. She is so sweet and accommodating to all her customers. At the end of our meal around 9 pm and after we were getting ready to leave, the owner approach us and asked us to stay around. She told us that they were having live music playing and that we might enjoy it. Unfortunately we had to leave but we might come back another time as they are open late a couple of night a week for live music and karaoke. This place is becoming one of my favorite local spots. Food is authentic and delicious and service is outstanding. read more

Came here for the 2nd time on a cold winter day. Parking was much easier to find than the first time, a hot summer day, and the weather is important to note. The restaurant is nicely decorated and laid out nicely with a small bar as you enter. However the place definitely retains the heat in the summer, I.e. it's hot, and the cold in the winter. People were wearing jackets and hats. The owner did recognize this and put out some space heaters to help with heating the space. Now for the important part, the food is worth it! I started with the Ceviche Mixto, one of the best I've had anywhere! Great spice and mix of fish and shrimp! HUGE portion so it's definitely a shareable appetizer. My main meal with Chaufa de Mariscos. This is mountain of rice if and seafood; shrimp, mussels, calamari. Another delicious well seasoned dish with more than enough to share and take some home! Another table had ordered the Caldera de Mariscos which was enormous and looked delicious. We were given a sample of the broth, OMG! On the list for my next visit! Overall the place is well run with the service being great and the food being served in large portions, even leftover it's great. read more

Best Peruvian food I've found in Northern Mass. Authentic homemade Peruvian comfort food. I'm Peruvian and it feels like you're back in Peru. Ignore the fact that it's not run like a corporate establishment (sometimes they run out of the yummiest menu items) and focus on the fact that you're getting authentic flavors, large portions, fresh ingredients and contributing to a small business. I drive 25 mins 1x month just to get my fix there. Try the leche tigre and get the Jalea to dip into the lime broth. So good! read more

Good food, good portions, will recommend the "Caldo de Gallina", big enough for two persons, well seasoned. They don't have everything that's listed in the menu, I will ask what they have available. Service was ok, on a weekday and with just 4 customers it took a little while to get service, they needed to hire a bartender or someone to tend the tables, don't make customers wait if you want to succeed. This place was closed for a year, don't know why, good music, not loud, you can have a conversation without having to be scream, like other restaurants in this area; well decorated and the server was friendly, if you're in the vicinity check out. read more

I highly recommend this place. It offers plenty of delicious Peruvian food, the best part is that is authentic and fresh. Waiters are so nice and helpful. Everything was delicious and tasty. The fish chicharrón was so crispy and flavorful. Ceviche was fresh and with perfect balance between the acidity of leche de Tigre and sweetness of the yam. We had a little sip of chicha morada and it was amazing. I can't wait to go back. read more

The place looks really good. I unfortunately couldn't order anything because I have a severe shellfish allergy and they couldn't accommodate that. It was my fault for not calling ahead for looking up the menu before going. But the staff was really nice and everyone there looked to be having fun. Live music is always good. read more

Gosh the food here is definitely sooooo good. Don't even think about it, just show up and enjoy watever they bring to your table. Service is upstanding, and the food is on point! Only thing is, I wish they would dim the lights for dinner to create more of an ambiance. You got the drinks, the food, the music, only thing missing... Ambiance. Dim the lights at night! read more

I grew up in Jackson Heights, NY with pretty authentic Peruvian food. Moving to Lawrence was wonderful but I missed all the different kinds of foods I had just down the block of my home in Jackson Heights. I was a little skeptical before my first time here because most New Yorkers are. I had a ceviche de camarón and lomo salteado. Both brought me right back to Queens. So happy this restaurant delivers every single time whether we eat in or take out. The lomo and the arroz chaufa are my favorites. Eat all the maíz tostado you can. You won't regret it. Today I stopped in to get lunch to go and was offered a complimentary drink- DELICIOUS. It's pisco mixed with pineapple juice infused with basil and lemongrass. read more

Stopped in for lunch using a special offer from Nift. A gentleman seated us and welcomed us with menus. Appears to be only one menu for both lunch and dinner. When he returned to offer drinks, we opted for ice water we asked him for recommendations as neither my friend nor I are well versed in Peruvian cuisine. He asked if we had a particular food in mind and my friend said beef and for me, seafood. He recommended the lomo Saltado for her and the arroz con camaron for me. As we waited for our meals, he brought over a complimentary appetizer of toasted corn with some mild cheese crumbles. The corn was a bit dry and I think an acquired taste. It didn't take long for the entrees to arrive. My friend received hers about 5 minutes before mine arrived so I picked at hers awaiting mine. The beef was a little over cooked and not of high quality beef, sauce was predominantly a soy taste, the large slightly cooked fresh tomato slices were refreshing and the red onions a nice contrast. My friend enjoyed the consistency of the rice but we weren't fond of having the fries covered in the sauce which made them mushy. Would have preferred the fries on hen side. I was happy with my arroz. There was a good amount of calamari, shrimp and mussels all cooked perfectly and I enjoyed the mushy rice and red sauce. The side slaw/salsa was very vinegary and I felt it didn't compliment the taste of the seafood and rice. The waters were Kirkland brand water bottles brought to the table along with a glass of ice at $2 each. Tap would have been fine. Friendly and welcoming service so a 4 for that. Pricey for lunch so a 3 and a 3.5 for the food. Nicely decorated and clean. We would consider returning to try other selections maybe for dinner. read more

So we tried this spot after reading the reviews. Food was good. I had the rice with seafood and Peruvian ceviche which was delish. The sauce you could drink on it's own lol. No wait last Friday which was nice but it go busy while we waited for our food. My husband tried had beef which was tender with rice and white beans which were different and tasty. We want to go back to try other things on the menu. They have a bar but had no coffee or dessert yet. The waitress said it's coming soon as they have only opened for several weeks. Street parking and only open Thursday to Sunday read more

Absolutely loved this place. Not only was the food really delicious, the servers and the entire staff were very accommodating and friendly. My boyfriend and I wandered into this restaurant after we had just helped a friend move into an apartment in Lawrence. We were starving and this was one of the few places open at 10pm. We are both huge fans of Peruvian cuisine, so when I came across this place on Yelp it was a no-brainer that we'd give it a try. At first when we came in, we were told that the kitchen was about to close, so we turned to leave. However, the staff was really kind and told us that they'd be able to make a few items on the menu for us, so we stayed, and we were so happy we did. The ceviche we had was tender and juicy. It almost melted in my mouth - it was THAT good! We also had a beef dish and the meat was really tender and tasty. I will definitely come back to this place to try more things on their menu. We are so grateful to the staff for being so nice and welcoming to us, even though we were those people who came almost at closing time. I highly recommend giving this restaurant a try, you will not regret it! read more

We were so happy to stumble upon this new gem while visiting Lawrence. The restaurant has a very clean and modern design. The service staff was so friendly and sweet. Although the menus are only in Spanish, she was so enthusiastic about helping us make a selection that fit our cravings. My cousin's dish (steak sautéed with onions) was delicious! The steak was well seasoned. I had the bistec (skirt steak) with fried egg on top which lacked in salt, but I still enjoyed it and left satisfied. I would return to try the other items on the menu...but I'm hoping they can create a lunch menu that is easier on the pockets. Spending $50 for 2 at lunch just felt a little steep. Definitely check this out for dinner...it's a family and kid-friendly place with a warm and welcoming vibe. I love the service! read more

A little slice of Peruvian heaven in Massachusetts. We love Peruvian food and have visited Lima many times. With a longing for ceviche and aji de gallina, we set out for this new little place in Lawrence and will definitely be back. While the atmosphere is small, simple, clean and welcoming; the food is authentic and delicious. I definitely recommend the ceviche, papas en salsa de huancaina, lomo saltado, and ají de gallina. Ask for Claudia if your Spanish is limited and she will take excellent care of you. Try out this new and hidden gem for a fun and flavorful taste of Peru! read more

Great place to go after work, lunch time, date night or anytime you want to meet up with friends. read more

Great way to remember Peru after living there for three months! The manager came right over and explained the menu to us as it was all in Spanish and was overall very friendly. I ordered a bunch of different appetizers for my friends to try. Leche de Tigre and Causa de Pollo. The Leche de Tigre was to die for and my friends loved it as was the causa. I ordered Aji de Gallina as an entree. It was good but I've had better Aji de Gallina. I was a little disappointed that they didn't have Chicha Morada in stock as I had been raving about that to my friends, but I'll have to come back another time to enjoy some of that. Overall a very positive culinary experience and a great introduction to Lawrence as someone who had never set foot in the city before! read more

My first time coming to this restaurant. Every single plate was delicious. We tried a variety of dishes. We got a seafood, lamb, beef Asian style noodle and a traditional staple which consist of cavasa French fries and chicken where tons of ketchup. The kids love the staple dish! The lamb was out of this world. I enjoyed the lamb with the rice and pickled minutes. My husband's dish which was a seafood dish had a mixture of Scallops, oysters, Filette a fish And shrimp. It was in a red sauce and a king with rice, very good! Staff and owner were very friendly. The restaurant is very clean. Only downside is parking. Also menu should have more detail pictures to allow you to get more familiar with the culture. I would add specials every week Just to let people try different dishes. Over all great experience, will come back again. read more
