Excellent food, but pricey and noisy
My experience at the restaurant was marked by excellent food. While it's not an inexpensive option, the food was undeniably delicious. I was dining alone, and the only downside was that the television was showing football; I would have preferred music. The atmosphere was rated a 4, and the food a 5.

Amazing Latin American Gem!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The amazing Latin American authentic flavors were incredible. I loved the Karaoke 🎤 with music from all over the world, including Brasilero and Argentinian songs, plus all kinds of English playlists for a top tier experience. It's top class yet very affordable. I highly recommend treating yourself, even if you're on a budget, and impressing your people at this Gem of a place. You can thank me later 😉😎 #LGBTQ friendly 🌈🤸🎉

Insane Prices, Horrible Atmosphere
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly negative. The price for a bucket of beer was insane at 47 dollars. The seating was uncomfortable with small chairs, and the music was horrible. Overall, it was the worst place in San Francisco.

Horrible Experience with Vinegar Soup
My experience was horrible. I ordered a chicken soup, and while it's not prepared like in Peru, I thought I'd eat it as a normal soup. However, I tasted it and it was vinegary, so I didn't eat it and left it. I lost my money. I do not recommend it.

Disappointing Kanlu Wantan
I paid almost $30 for a Kanlu wantan and it was not what I expected. I do not recommend it. 👎🏻

Pleasant Dishes, Worth a Visit
While there's room for improvement, the dishes here are consistently pleasant. I truly love their chicken soup; I always order it when I visit. Whenever I'm in the area, I like to stop by. It's a place where you can enjoy their menu with the greatest pleasure in the world!

Authentic Peruvian Food Gem
As a Colombian, I've developed a deep love for Peruvian cuisine, even more than my own country's food. I've tried many places, but this restaurant is truly special and traditional. While it might not be the fanciest establishment, it's a must-visit if you're seeking real, authentic, and amazing Peruvian food. My experience was centered around the incredible food, which I rated a 5 out of 5, and the service, which was also very good at a 4 out of 4.

Mixed Experience with Large Portions
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The portions of food were huge, and the ceviche flavor was decent. However, the yellow sauce on the mixed seafood dish lacked flavor, and the calamari and octopus were overcooked, making them annoyingly chewy and tough. The ambience inside the restaurant was very strange, reminiscent of a strip club without the dancers, which is not a place I'd want to return to. On a positive note, the servers were very friendly and accommodating.

Authentic Peruvian Gem - Highly Recommended!
My experience at this restaurant was exceptional, largely due to the authentic Peruvian food. My wife, a tough critic from Peru, absolutely loved it, prompting us to return the very next day. We savored the ceviche and lomo saltado, both of which were excellent. The maricua, lucuma, and picaronea were also incredibly authentic and delicious. I also tried both the pisco sour and maricua sour, which were top-notch, just like everything else.
