  Some dishes better than others. Adrianna Aguilar, a caring and efficient server, made the whole experience much better. The place seemed outdated, but we figured that the food was going to tell the story.Anticuchos, $14: Anticuchos can be a very tasty treat when done just right, meaning the marinade that gives the meat it’s authentic flavor, and the meat that is usually the heart of the cow, have to be properly trimmed, and together meat and marinade are thrown into the fire for best results in skewers. The meat here had the right taste, but presumably cooked on a grill instead of live fire. No skewers here, just the pieces of meat on a plate accompanied by almost perfect grilled potatoes and a very inviting sauce served in a ridiculously small container but tasty otherwise. Meat was thin and overpriced, but easy to like. 3.5 Stars.Papa Rellena, $6+?: typical Peruvian appetizer done very well, served with a yellow creamy sauce, this one, even though it was wished it had a little more meat inside, was well received and extremely fast disposed of. 4 Stars.Ceviche Mixto, $15.95: a delicious seafood plate when done right, this version was definitely overpriced and the amount that arrived to the table very meager, not one to remember, or to be repeated, for that matter. 3 Stars.Chupe de Camarones, $15+?: a very traditional soup of Peru, kind of like a Bisque of Shrimp, that when properly prepared, is one delicious choice. Comes with several ingredients, one of the most important being the quality of the shrimp used, and of course the texture and flavor of the broth determines the overall excellence of the dish. This one was a notch above. 4 Stars.Chaufa de Mariscos, $13+?: Peruvian version of seafood fried rice. Very unlikely to find a decent one with enough ingredients and taste to make it a contender. This one was 85% rice and 15% seafood, a disappointing choice, way overpriced that truly showed the greedy side of the place. Nothing to get excited about. 2 Stars.Picarones, $5?: tasty Peruvian dessert supposedly made with pumpkin/squash deep fried in the form of a doughnut, and served with a typical and very tasty syrup. 4 Stars.Peruvian restaurants tend to overcharge, but if the food was outstanding, as it happens to be in Peru, no problema, but otherwise does not sit right to pay more for lesser quality. Total after gratuity came to $90, but as mentioned above, our server from Honduras did earn our respect. 3.5 Stars

  Restaurant gives lots to desire. Chicha Morada was diluted. Food too salty no flavor and mainly reheated. Price was high and staff ok.

  Peruvian food. This small restaurant is in a strip mall and has maybe a dozen tables. Clean. Pleasant. Good service. The food reminded us of being back at Machu Pichu. Owner was on site and helping work tables. He cares. We had a potato stuffed with beef as an appetizer. Excellent. Our chicken and beef dinners were both good. Loved the authentic peruvian drinks. We will go back even though it’s a drive for us. Near Genesee and Balboa.

  The anticuchos are delicious. Service is a bit slow but food is very good for a fair price.
