Definitely one of the best Peruvian places in the area! The saltados are so flavorful! And certainly a lot of food!
First, I like the food. I've only gotten the lomo saltado. The staff is courteous and helpful. However, I think they have issues with their online order system or they lose track of online orders, because this is the second time where I have had to wait for 6--more like 10--minutes for my order after asking where it is. Today I got my order at 4:13 and the ready time which was like 3:48, which was already 30-35 minutes after the order was placed online. The restaurant was not that crowded and there were no other orders on the pickup table so I doubt that they were that backed up. I would order from this place again, but I would probably place my order over the phone or at least confirm it by phone before heading out.
It was great! My husband is half Peruvian and was craving some Lomo Saltado and he said it was amazing. It's a little on the pricier side for Lomo Saltado, but the flavor is good. Service was great - the employees are very nice and I only had to wait about 5 minutes (more or less) for my food.
I have been here more than a dozen times over this pandemic. This food was delicious pre COVID and during COVID. If you want soft and sweet plantains, this is the spot. You want the juiciest chicken? This is the place. They don't cut corners, they cut deep into my food driven soul. Only reason I would give this place a negative review is because I didn't have enough space in my stomach to eat more.
Saw the sign from across the parking lot and knew it was going to be Peruvian. I walked in for a quick lunch with my dad and was surprised to see it was as self service after you order at the counter. There is several other patrons sitting there and they're a food looked amazing. We decided to try the ceviche mixto and seafood Saltado. The green sauce on the side was tasty and the maracuya juice was refreshing .we will be Returning to try the lunch specials
