Reviews
All time favorite! I drive 40 minutes just to get takeout because my family loves it. The chaulafan is so good and let's not talk about the hot sauce they have! Call ahead though because most of the time weekends they get really busy
Shrimp Lomo delicious! My only complaint is that they are still putting the sauce in a baggie, that seems very cheap and unsanitary! I'm sure they make enough money that they can purchase lil containers to hold the sauce!
Great food for a fair price. We are new in town and we love our Peruvian food, we were very happy to find this place in our neighborhood.
Los Andes who? I believe this place has better food than Los Andes but people are sold on the ambiance of Los Andes. It is a lot prettier there but the food here is FAR better. I have never been disappointed by the flavor. I used to always order the bistec al pobre until one day I tried their arroz de mariscos and have never looked back since then. There is a piece of seafood in every bite, the flavors are amazing, and it's not a portion you finish in one sitting unless you're really hungry. The yellow sauce that comes with every meal is insanely delicious and creamy (but it sucks that extra bags cost $0.75). My only complaint is that it is tough to get a hold of them over the phone and they do not have mobile ordering to my knowledge. If they implement other forms of receiving orders, I think it would make many customers happy.
Seafood fried rice was ELITE! I found this restaurant on yelp and the address provided is a location that is closed/under renovations. As a result, I had to drive to their other location (Machupichu 2) which was 7mins away.
