hace una semanaThe service here was truly top notch and one of the highlights of our visit. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome, and the atmosphere was very casual and relaxed — exactly the kind of place where you can sit back, enjoy your meal, and not feel rushed. It made for a very enjoyable dining experience. The food was absolutely awesome. We ordered the Lomo Saltado, which was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The portion size was surprisingly generous — easily enough for two people to share, especially if you’re pairing it with other dishes. It had that classic combination of savory beef, onions, tomatoes, and fries that makes this dish such a favorite, and it was seasoned just right. We also tried the mixed salad, which ended up being much bigger than we expected. It was fresh, crisp, and nicely put together, making it a great side to balance out the richness of the main dish. A special shout-out to Nick, our server, who was excellent. He was attentive without being overbearing, checked on us often, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. Overall, this was a fantastic dining experience — great service, casual and welcoming ambiance, and excellent food that we would definitely come back for. Highly recommended if you’re looking for a relaxed spot with consistently good dishes and friendly staff.

Hace 2 semanasThis is a simple restaurant on a corner in Barranco, Lima. The food is amazing with incredible flavors. People told me this is one of the best restaurants in the world. I think that is too much, but it is definitely a very good choice. The food has excellent taste and very good seasoning. All dishes have explosion of flavors. I recommend this restaurant to everyone. Good option when visiting Lima. The flavors are really special and well prepared.

hace 2 mesesAmazing food! What else can I say?! Just real down Peruvian comfort food. Just make reservations ahead of time. Definitely one the best ones. Great location in Barranco to walk right after a great meal.

Hace 3 semanasHonestly, the food and service were good, but not quite good enough to justify the price. The portions are absolutely huge — which might work well for a casual lunch or if you’re sharing with a group, but for two people it felt excessive and not really worth the cost. Overall, it was okay for lunch, but I wouldn’t recommend it for dinner. The experience didn’t quite match the hype or the price point.

hace 3 mesesDisappointing experience from the start. There was a strong draft inside the restaurant, which made the food go cold quickly and created an uncomfortable atmosphere. The waiter wasn’t helpful at all — we asked about the difference between the small and large portions, and he just said the small one was for one person and the large one for sharing. However, the large portion was massive, and considering we had already ordered starters, he could have advised us better. Regarding the food, nothing impressive. Unfortunately, the overall service and ambiance didn’t meet our expectations.
