"The atmosphere and food were amazing! The buffet had a lot of typical Peruvian dishes that were very fresh and savory. I truly enjoyed the picarones and the Tres Leches desserts for their authentic taste and texture. There was a live entertainer whose personable and entertaining personality made the atmosphere lively and engaging. He also sang a mix of Peruvian music that took you back to a time in Peru when you shared with family and friends. The staff were very friendly and diligent. I recommend this restaurant and will return with my family and friends."

"Everything was delicious. My girlfriend wanted the aji de gallina and they didn't have it. A bit unfortunate considering it's one of the classic Peruvian dishes. Good atmosphere though, and the service was good as well."

"Stopped in on a Saturday for brunch… No other customers at that time, but it started to get busier after noon time… wished they had pointed out the buffet, since I had never been… But I ordered off the menu and had a pork sandwich with two fried eggs… bun and ingredients were excellent. Big screens everywhere - maybe too much video advertising at this time of day - but it’s major business seems to be nightclub entertainment and special events.. I will be back for more explorations of the menu or buffet - everything was very good."

"Excellent food. Went there for the buffet for the first time on a Saturday. Everything was delicious. The ceviche was great. We ordered the picarones and churros a la carte. We liked them a lot too. Daniel was our server and he was super kind and courteous. My family and I will definitely be back."
