- foodMy experience at this restaurant for Sunday brunch was incredibly relaxing, complemented by excellent food, cocktails, and service. We had no problem getting seated on a sunny Sunday.
- cevicheThe food was flavourful and the service was friendly and expedient. I'm a sucker for ceviche and I was not disappointed. After many an overpriced SF meal, it was great to find a good meal at a decent price.
- sangriaThe prices were also ideal, especially with $6 mimosas. I highly recommend the sangria 😁.
- FoodWe had the empanada de Pollo, the aguadito de pollo, and the Lomo saltado. It was 5 stars across the board, and the service was impeccable. Ask for Brooke!
- Lomo SaltadoThe seafood stew and Lomo Saltado were very delicious
- MariscadaBrenda provided the best service, and we all absolutely loved our food. We enjoyed the Adobo de chancho, Mariscada, and Lomo salteado. I totally recommend this place.
- fish tacosfish tacos. And a half pitcher of Sangria. Everything was excellent!
- Peruvian foodI can’t say enough about how good Peruvian food is. The Saltado Vegetales is a gastronomical experience if you ask me.
- lomo saltadoEl lomo saltado y el adobo de chancho está muy rico.
- steakWe visited for lunch on a sunny Sunday and I couldn't resist ordering the Lomo Saltado. The ingredients were incredibly fresh, and the steak was so tender. It's great to see they even offer a kids menu for families with little ones.
Frequently criticized

- Gallina Hashsoupy hash, burnt old potatoes
- Lomo SaltadoLomo Saltado was overwhelming with soy sauce
- Peruvian foodI had an unpleasant experience. As a Peruvian, the Peruvian food prepared at this place does not represent our gastronomy at all. I would suggest ordering a different menu; you will leave disappointed if you order Peruvian food.
- Peruvian gastronomyHonestly, the WORST Peruvian gastronomy experience of my life. Look for another restaurant if you want to try Peruvian food.
- Pescado & PapasDemasiado empanizado en el pescado.
- Pollo La Brasanot serving Pollo La Brasa

Authentic Peruvian Gem with a Twist
I discovered a true hidden gem for amazing food. The cuisine is primarily Peruvian, but they also offer dishes from other South American countries. While the prices are slightly higher, the portion sizes are generous, which balances out the cost.
I highly recommend the Mariscada and the Baja fish tacos. If you haven't tried Chicmorada, this is a great place to experience it. The food here is very close to what I had in Peru.

Fun Menu with Great Service
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The service was impeccable, rated a 5 out of 5. The food was also a highlight, receiving a perfect 5 out of 5.
I enjoyed the fun menu with its great ceviches and an eclectic mix of Peruvian, Mexican, and other fun dishes. They even add a local touch by using dutch crunch on their sandwiches, and their fish and chips has a fun Latin American twist on a British classic. The atmosphere was rated a 4, and the noise level was quiet, making it easy to talk.
It was a great lunch experience with no wait time.

Excellent Starters and Mains, Pleasant Atmosphere
We made reservations for a party of seven and were immediately taken to our table. Our party included five adults and two children (ages 10 & 8). For starters, we ordered Mejillones, Ceviche Chino, and Ceviche Mixto.
Everyone, including the kids, enjoyed these excellent starters. The children ordered Adobo Sliders, Papa Fritas, and Tallarines Al Pisco, and they enjoyed their meals, giving their dinners 👍. The adults ordered the Mariscada Seafood Stew, which was excellent and delicious 👍, and the Arroz Con Mariscos, which was also excelente y delicioso 👍.
The Adobo de Chancho was bueno 🥲👌, and the Fish Tacos were excellent and delicious 👍. The Pescado & Papas had fish that was "demasiado empanizado" (too breaded), but the fries were delicious. 👌 The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was pleasant.
🤩 The serving sizes were generous. Everyone enjoyed themselves, and the kids were very happy with their meal.
