My boyfriend got lomo And it was a very big portion size and was very tasty as well. Service : very nice and welcoming people Atmosphere : I was a little hot while eating. They don’t have the best AC. I took a star away because I feel like the restaurant itself can be a little more updated and also I kept seeing ants on the floor (anyone seen the same thing?) Other than that, the food is top-tier and very much worth the visit."

At first they didn’t know what it was but just a couple minutes later they brought tartar sauce I was about to cry since there are no many Peruvian restaurants that offer this sauce. 100% recommend and I will come back"

Definitely spacious for a party... the birthday party had their own cooked food so we didn't try the restaurants food nor experience the service. I'm not sure how much they'd rent it out but it's a decent size."
