Cebiche was incredible, transported me back to Peru. The Chicharrones dish was also rich in flavor and we were fighting over the last bite. Finally we enjoyed the Lomo Saltado, a harmonious finish to the meal with a sauce I must bribe Chef Carlos for. Smiles all around, my daughters was slightly tinted purple from the outstanding Chicha Morado. This is exactly what the small restaurant experience should be, warm, friendly and downright delicious

All the food is delicious. A step up from most Peruvian restaurants. Just keep in mind that the food is slowing coming out of the kitchen but well worth the wait. Our server was great.
