It was wonderful. I told our waitress it was my daughter’s birthday, but my daughter didn’t want to walk around with her big cake. The waitress made things special by bringing out a slice with a candle and we were able to celebrate together. What a perfect moment!

One of the best Peruvian restaurants I've been to outside of Peru. Super fresh ingredients, great flavors, and superb presentation. The ceviche mixto was delicious and very fresh (they use mahi mahi rather than the"garbage of the sea" tilapia.) The chicha morada was not from a mix and was so fresh I could taste the maize. Appetizers and desserts (in particular the picarones) were fantastic. A little pricey, but you are paying for exceptional quality.
