    We had an amazing dining experience at Secreto de Rosita! We ordered La Cevichería with Corvina in Leche de Tigre aji amarillo—so fresh and flavorful. The Jalea Mixta, Lomo Saltado, and Arroz con Mariscos did not disappoint either. The arroz came out sizzling and had a rich, cheesy twist we weren’t expecting but loved. The lomo had bell peppers—something different for us—but the seasoning was on point. To drink, we had a virgin Atardecer and a virgin Chicha Morada—both refreshing and delicious. The service was quick, and everything came out promptly. The interior is a whole vibe—floral, and colorful, with hints of Victorian charm that made the experience even more unique. A spot worth checking out if you’re in the mood for vibrant flavors and a beautiful atmosphere!

    It was amazing! Wonderful. Delicious! Fun! A real treat. I wouldn’t say this is a good value because it’s not intended to be. We did the tasting menu and shared the pairing. We were delighted by each and every dish! We loved it so much.
