Description
Seafood is king at this cozy, casual Peruvian spot, so start with the hefty mixed ceviche of fresh calamari rings, big shrimp, baby octopus and huge mussels (a value at $12) and move on to the family-size paella made with subtly flavored rice and studded with every creature from the sea. Meat-eaters will love the lomo saltado (tangy, tender, marinated beef strips sautéed with tomato and onion and topped with a heap of crispy fries to sop up the steak juice), and the rich Peruvian beef stew, fragrant with baking spices and generous with melt-in-your-mouth chunks of beef roast. End with sweet, crispy plantains and amazing dulce de leche cookies.

Not much for atmosphere but terrific food! The pictures on the menu/website do not do the food justice. It's delicious! The menu is very varied. I loved the Ceviche Mixto, and the Lomo Saltado is also a favorite.
Great food, Great price. Everyone is welcome. Dance to the live music {even if you dance like one of Charlie Brown's pals} Cesar will make you feel right at home. The portions are huge so it's the perfect place to share and try different things. Don't miss Taste Of Peru!!!
i don't know? i just saw the pictures of the dishes on their web site and is looks horrible!!!! it makes me not want to eat there. ???? I hope you are right on your description of the food, i do trust Time Magazine, but the picture are horrible!!!!! :(
Interesting. The reviews on menupages.com for this restaurant were very positive. Also, the reviewers were able to write with correct grammar and spelling. I just dont know who to believe.
this restaurant should not be in bussiness, we recently go here just because we were in the area, my child who is 13 years old order the soup called parihuela and got hair on the soup, i told the waiter to change this plate and all he did was to take out the hair( we made a few cuts on the seafood to make sure they will gave us a new plate) we refuse to eat it and at the end they will still charging us for it, the owner was very rude and didn't want to hear our pleat, we canceled the rest of the order and left this place, i contact my credit card company to fix this problem, i was not going to be there arguing with this man and his "cheap" restaurant. I could not recommend this place at all!!
