“ I LOVE THEIR CHICKEN. Didn't mean to caps that but it works. Their chicken is the best. Their sauces are top-notch and they have dancing on the weekends! Try their heuvos rancheros for breffy! ”
“ Is this a typical by star restaurant? No. But it gets them nevertheless. Let's first start with the food. Choosing solely from the Peruvian side of the menu, we started with an absolutely delicious fish ceviche. We got the smaller size but it was still a ton of food. Paired with the toasted corn for some texture and yam for sweetness this was in amazing dish. On to the steak and plantains with fried eggs, this was a flavorful and hearty dish. I wish the potatoes had been actual fried potatoes instead of plain French Fries. But the beef was so savory good. Churros for dessert and two people left there stuffed beyond belief for 45 including a generous tip. Why the tip? Because service was impeccable. Good information, friendly (despite some language barriers) and just over all made you feel like you were the reason they work there. The owner even stopped by. Decor was a very dive bar-like and they had 21 TV's playing loud Spanish music videos. But who cares? The experience was fantastic! ”
“ It's a happy happy place - with great ambience, weekends post 12AM there are generally live music band performances which are amazing, food and beverages are very filling and yummy, and expect to see some very good moves on the dance floor by customers (surprisingly everyone seemed like an amazing dancer). ”
“ One of my favorites place to go. They are kind, good customer service. And food is so good!!!! Highly recommend this place ”
“ The food here is fantastic. The staff is awesome. The prices are great! My partner and I stop here when we work in the area and always order from the Mexican menu but next time I'm going Peruvian! Also, this is a spots bar which I'm not much interested, but if you are a soccer fan. Whooweee this is the place for you. ”
“ This place is so good!!! The food was delicious and the staff was so friendly! Highly recommend! ”
“ This place has absolutely delicious roasted chicken. They roast it over a charcoal grill and the flavor is exquisite. The next best thing are the salsas, the red and the green are unbelievable, especially the green. They are HOT! You can get a whole roast chicken with tortillas, rice and beans and it’s a big dinner for two. I truthfully have not tried anything else here. On the weekends the parking lot is packed and it’s a large parking lot. Update: -the taco truck out front is amazing! The ribs options are a little too fatty but the chicken and pastor tacos rule -When you go in to pick up your food, it looks like the weekends they host pretty happening night club events! ”
“ I love this place! The food is delicious and the service is fantastic. If you're a Mariners fan, the games are always on the TVs here. ”
