Great service except for an instance where we received one of the four dishes we ordered separately and after 30-40 minutes. We asked them to take it back as we were already done with our dinner and they took it out of our tab. The drinks were great and nicely decorated, but two out of the three tasted exactly the same (both mezcal based). The food was very average and very salty which is never a good sign. I had the beef tongue dish and it was chewy and didn't have the delicateness I expected.

Awesome Peruvian food. Started with a pitcher of Sangria for the table with the trio ceviche enough for 3-4 people and I loved trying the different dressing that goes with each type of ceviche. Their lyche sour and kycheemelon drinks were also fantastic For dinner I Had the half chicken and it was cooked to perfection and so tender. Nearly as good as the chicken I've had in Lima. Tried a bunch of the sides as well which were all delicious including the Mac and cheese, grilled veggies, and yuca fries. Also tried the lebgua and it was incredibly juicy and tender. Nothing like any other lengua ive had before. Service was very quick and the atmosphere of the place was also very up eat and fun. Definitely recommend for some good Peruvian food.

The ceviche is delicious. I ordered the trio and couldn’t choose a best one, they were all flavorful in their own way. I recommend getting the extra order of taro chips on the side because they don’t come with many in the order itself. If you are looking for a non-alcoholic refreshing drink, I highly recommend the chicha morada—it’s made with purple corn, fruit and spices. It kind of tastes like a lighter mulled wine, not too sweet and not too sour! The bar service was great, and the staff were very friendly. There are also electric outlets under the bar which was a lifesaver b/c my phone was about to die. When I’m in SF again, I will definitely go back.

Crowded and under staffed. Food took a long time to arrive but was not entirely disappointed. We had the Fiesta Platter with beef Empanadas, and the Chicharon de Pollo. The Mac n Cheese that came with it was obviously a filler. After reading their older menus, this used to be a Seafood Jalea. If they're trying to cut costs, I rather they not have it at all and focus more on the parts that actually taste good/matter. It was absolutely tasteless, bland, and overcooked. The pollo carried this dish; like a one man band. The Polli Papas just like the platter had filler food, but unlike the platter it was more than 1/3 of the dish. There's a mountain of french fries as photographed. Well if I wanted a dish of french fries, 🍟 I wouldn't be disappointed. But the selling point for this on the menu was the chicken which sadly, was under portioned, cast aside, forgotten about. It was tasteless, like an after thought. This was topped off with a sprinkle of processed desert like twigs labeled as cheese. Sorry, I'll pass. As for the 1/4 rotisserie chicken with Yuca fries and zucchini, they were nothing much to write home about. We were unsure if the sauces were meant for this dish, even so, everything on this plate was overcooked and under seasoned. If you've gotten this far down my review, I'm gonna level with you. The zucchini was a total waste of time, resources, and my money. Why was it labeled as "Chifa Vegetables" when all it was was sad mushy zucchinis. The Ceviche was the only redeeming dish for the entire experience. Fresh fish in a moat of zesty orange dressing. The citrus notes, and the spicy heat as an after taste gave it a mouth watering zing! The Mai Tai was hard and sweet. Decent, but as tall as the vessel was, ice was the majority. TLDR: The Ceviche de Pescado is the only dish I'd come back for.

It's a shame that I'm disappointed in this restaurant, a 1/4 chicken and an Inca cola, they charge me 27 dollars and they give you the potatoes counted, it's a pity that they can't upload photos to the page because I would gladly do it, it's a pity and ro

Cheap lemon is not and I have already mentioned that in previous reviews. But I think the menu is clear about prices. It's a good place but not so cheap
