I understand the strategy but that's the only reason I didn't give 5 stars. The food that we ordered was great. Appetizer pork chicharon was crispy and delicious. I had a goat stew with white rice. It was so good I had to look up the recipe and recreate it for my family that weekend.

My family and I had been to this restaurant many times and never had a problem but on Saturday when…read moremy family and I went things took a turn. Our food was not good the rice was hard like it had been in the pot for a while. I ask for a pork crackling and it tasted old. My husband ask for a beef stew and the meat was poor quality more fatty meat than meat and other things we asked for were just not right. The service was horrible no one came around to asked if we needed refills on drinks. My sons food was brought to him cold after everyone in the table had their food for almost 10 minutes. At the end none of us ate and the plates were still there full. The waitress asked how everything was, I explained to her everything that was wrong with the food and service and not even out of curtesy did she mentioned let me asked the owner if a discount can be given or I am sorry for what just happen absolutely nothing, all she said was do you need a to go plate which I replied no why would I take that home. I am the type of person that doesn't like to complain but this time around I just felt like they did not care and they just needed to make that money. We paid $87 dollars for food that stayed in the plates that were brought to us, and I feel that it is poor customer service. For each its own but I will not be going back. when it comes to ambience of the location yes, they do have music and entertainment because there was a man going around the tables asking what song we wanted to request which I found was the only good thing that day in my overall experience.

I ordered the LA VIEJITA and GUAVA-MATCHA COLD DRINK. My friend had the Cuban. 1) LA VIEJITA - Cuban-style shredded beef with Swiss cheese, sweet plantains, salsa verde and chimichurri sauce on a soft bun. Full of flavor! Savory, Sweet, Tender and delicious! 2) GUAVA-MATCHA Cold Drink - Refreshing milky cold drink with matcha and guava. Wonderful mix of semi-sweet flavors. My friend ate the other half of the Cuban since they couldn't wait for my photos. It seems like they enjoyed it! Overall, would definitely visit again and try the other menu items.

I enjoyed seeing Peruvian culture being repped on all the walls. I had to Google some of the geoglyphs like the monkey one because it was cause for a great debate at our table. The young lady server was very nice and took good care of us. The menu? Everything sounded really good and we had a semi-hard time deciding what to get. We did start off with a Pisco Sour and a Maracuya cocktail. Both were pretty light and tasty. One co-worker had a tooth removed so all he could eat was soup so he ordered the Sopa de Dia which was chicken. He said it was pretty good for the big bowl he was served. One co-worker got the Bistec Apanado (deep fried steak with sides of meduros and fries). He said the steak was tough and his meduros were either not fully cooked or overcooked. Another co-worker got the Bistec A Lo Pobre (flank steak, rice, fries, meduros, fried eggs). She said the steak was tough too. Same problem with the meduros. The other co-worker got the Arroz Con Mariscos (mixed seafood yellow rice). His came out first and it smelled amazing. He's not a fan of cilantro and it was topped with it. He's one of those weirdos that the gene that cilantro tastes like soap lol. He still liked his food and at most of it. He left the calamari rings behind stating that they were too chewy for him. We all tried it and we were pretty split on the statement. I ordered the Mixto Ceviche (raw fish, calamari, and shrimp) with added spiciness. Don't ask me why I chose spicy, I just knew that it was going to be spicy as in more spice and not like spicy hot. It was very good even though I felt as if I had too much liquid on my plate. Sopping it up was out of the question as it was very sea-salty. I'm not sure who's child it was but a young guy came up to me and asked what I was eating I told him and then he walked away. Our table was confused by the reaction but he came back later to take some of our dishes to the back. Slightly odd. I'd come back. I need to try their Chicha Morada (purple corn drink)

We shared the Bandeja Paisa and all of it was EXCEPTIONAL (we just don't care for the plain arepa lol)! Our favorite was definitely the chicharron.

It comes with Chaufa de Pollo, Ceviche Clásico, and Papa a la Huancaína, making it an easy way to sample a few Peruvian favorites in one order. The Ceviche Criollo ended up being my favorite dish. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the creamy yellow pepper sauce added just the right amount of richness without taking away from the bright citrus flavors. I also ordered the Tallarines Verdes con Churrasco, and the pesto pasta paired perfectly with the juicy, tender skirt steak. Beautiful presentation, generous portions, and friendly service made this an easy recommendation. Looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu.
