    This is the most fun authentic restaurant in the city, it’s not a chain and the owner is always there making sure everyone has a great time. Delicious food, drinks, and very friendly service. 10/10 recommend this restaurant for a fun birthday dinner! They had a live band and performers in the heated back patio, it’s always a party here!

    The experience was incredible. From the moment you come into the restaurant you fall in love with the ambiance it offers. The lighting, music and decorations makes it feel like a very cozy and appropriate place to have a date night or even a birthday celebration. If you really like Peruvian food and know about it, look no further for the best Ceviche in the city, it is perfectly balanced, fresh and flavorful. In addition to the Ceviche, we ordered some causas which the server explained that are part of their newest additions, and I can’t explain to you how amazing the blend of all the flavors tasted like, 10/10! For the mains we had the beef short ribs and the octopus Anticuchero and both are a must try! The beef short ribs practically melts in your mouth combined with a perfectly balanced sauce. The octopus was good size and so fresh and it really went well with the cauliflower puree, perfect blend of flavors! Service was attentive and very nice, they take their time explaining their concept and how they include fusion into their menu. Produce is freshly brought from Peru and they only use real vegetables and fruits for their recipes, which I was extremely impressed and would explain the freshness out of everything. Last but not least, the cocktails were 10/10. I find it hard to find a restaurant that truly cares about the preparation of drinks. All of the ingredients are made in house (syrups, shrubs, juices, chicha morada). Can’t miss out on their Pisco Sours nor their own creation of drinks. Their cocktail menu also wraps up a great dining experience.
