    Delicious food especially the aguadito soup. Very hearty and refreshing. Drinks were well made too. Service was extremely prompt and on point. Overall good value for money. The only negative is pre-adding 18% tip to the bill (especially if the party size is less than 6). Tip should be a customer prerogative. Took a bit away from the overall experience which was otherwise fantastic.

    I chose this restaurant as it was close to our airbnb and easy to get to on our arrival day. The restaurant was not full and there are 3 different sections to choose from; a quiet smaller room, the main dining area and another section to the right of main dining. We chose the quiet room so we could easily talk and visit. Service came promptly and our server explained the different dishes that we were not familiar with. One thing he didn't mention was that 3 of the 4 dishes we chose included the Peruvian corn. Had we known this we would not have gotten the corn on the cob appetizer! The food was very good; ceviche was some of the best I've eaten. Portions were generous as well. Unfortunately, at the end of the meal, my husband's credit card didn't come back with the bill and we didn't catch it, so he had to go back to the restaurant today to retrieve it. Fortunately they had kept it. Overall it was an enjoyable meal.

    Great food and flavor. Extensive drink menu and friendly service. It was a quiet evening. the appetizers are well worth it. If you are in the Cambridge/Somerville area worth a stop.

    Overall a great experience. The Appetizers: The Cancha (Andean Toasted Chulpe Corn) placed on the table at the beginning with a green sauce was a nice start. The Empanada was amazing. The Choclo (corn on the cob) had very little of) the aji amarillo sauce. The Entrees: The Bisteck a lo Pobre was tasty and could have used some type of sauce. The egg was a nice touch. The Ceviche Mixto was excellent. The server could have been a bit more attentive but there was other staff that we connected with to meet our needs. There was also great live music.
