Yelp Review
This is a warning to any vegans/vegetarians. This restaurant has virtually nothing to offer you unless you make a meal out of side dishes, and a salad. Not too diverse.
Which is a shame because this place is awesome. A meat-eater/seafood paradise. I've been here twice, the first time with my friend Fi, for her birthday. As she is Peruvian and stated that this is authentic, so much the better.
It is a small place but both times we didn't have too much trouble getting a table. The second time, the group was larger so we just waited by the bar area for about 15 minutes.
When you are seated, they give you these corn kernels with a spicy green sauce. It's quite tasty but hard on the teeth. For appetizers we ordered the Papa a la Huancaina, boiled potatoes in a spicy cheese sauce.
Their sangria and wines are quite good, but not really the star of the restaurant. The star is the Peruvian chicken. Poultry of legend. It is basically roasted chicken marinated in various spices. The 1st night they ran out chicken, so I ordered Arroz Chaufa Peruvian , which is steak fried rice. Which was so good, I couldn't help but order it again the second time. Also a plate of maduros, or fried sweet plantains. They gave a lot, and I never feel like sharing, they are so good.
From looking at other people's plates, the tostones, the steak and of course the chicken, are all excellent choices. I look forward to coming here again and tasting more dishes.
