Good Service, Will Return
My experience at the restaurant was positive. The service was good and pleasant. I only ordered one dish and a sandwich, and it was fine. I will definitely return to try more of their menu.

Disappointing Service and Overpriced Food
It's sad when a place initially welcomes you "well" only to bid you farewell harshly at the end. You then realize something is off. What's even sadder is being charged so much for a service that doesn't meet expectations. Peruvian food is inherently difficult to replicate outside of Peru, which is understandable, but attempting to scam diners is simply unjustifiable.

Terrible Experience, Avoid This Place
My experience at this restaurant was overwhelmingly negative and sad. 1. They attempted to overcharge us $10 by adding a 25% tax to the bill. When I pointed out the error, they didn't apologize but quickly took my receipt to "correct" it. I'm sure they scam people this way; it wasn't the first time. 2. There's no fixed fee for paying by card; instead, it's a 3. 5% charge on your consumption, which is quite strange. 3. The food was not prepared by a Peruvian chef and clearly showed a lack of understanding of Peruvian cuisine. The anticuchos had a very strange, orange seasoning. The lomo saltado was like soup, and the tallarines verdes were flavorless. To make matters worse, not even a dubious milanesa could justify the $27 paid for those sad noodles. 4. I will never return.

Scam and Below Average Food
Do not come here. They scam customers by including a $10 tip under the “taxes” section, and they systematically do this. I confirmed this by their attitude when I exposed them. The food is BELOW average. Avoid them at all cost.

Horrible Food and Overcharging!
My experience at this restaurant was horrible. I ordered the tallarines verdes with "meat, " and they served me what looked like McDonald's-style meat. The food had absolutely no Peruvian taste. Furthermore, they WILL try to steal some money with tips or taxes. The lady at the front changed our price from $80 to $65 because we noticed they overcharged us. If you come to this place, you will waste your trip. No vengan!

Disappointing Peruvian Experience
As a family hoping to experience the culinary excellence of my home country, our dining experience at this Peruvian restaurant was unfortunately a letdown. The food lacked the authenticity, flavors, and freshness we expected, with several dishes being bland and underwhelming. To compound the issue, we encountered discrepancies in our bill, specifically a 25% charge on taxes, which felt like treachery, especially for regulars. While we value supporting Peruvian establishments, this visit was a straightforward disappointment. We sincerely hope for improvements in their ethics, quality, and billing practices.

Disappointing Food, Great Service
My experience at this restaurant was a mixed bag. The service was incredibly friendly and attentive, earning a perfect score. However, the food unfortunately didn’t live up to expectations. The ceviche wasn’t fresh, and overall, the dishes were disappointing and overpriced. Given the food quality, I'm not likely to return.

A Taste of Peruvian Tradition
My experience at this restaurant was a delightful trip down memory lane. It's one of the few remaining Peruvian local spots from back in the day. I'm so thankful for their continued presence!

Delicious Food, Welcoming Service
I'm so glad my coworker recommended this place and that we decided to give it a try during our visit to San Francisco. The experience did not disappoint! The workers were amazing and welcoming, and the restaurant itself was clean with nice decor. While parking was a bit difficult to find, we anticipated this for San Francisco. We started with delicious bread and sauce that I couldn't get enough of. The Lomo saltado could have used a bit more seasoning, but it was still good. The Pescado sudado was so very good that I finished it all. The portions were great, and I will definitely be coming back when in the area.
