It’s a shame this place doesn’t have an online menu or more advertising. We found this hidden gem and were amazed. Amazing Ceviche, and huge portions. The staff was super nice, and gave us recommendations l. Brad was awesome and recommended us a few dishes.

Definitely coming back. I had the lomo salteado and my husband had parijuela. Delish. For dessert our waitress recommended majarete morado with rice pudding. It was served hot and creamy and also delish. We will be back. Peruvians make great Chinese food too.
