"The food was really good and they let us watch and take pictures of the chef cooking. The waitress was perfect - friendly, prompt and took great care of us. We went for a small birthday group and talked about coming back to try other items on the menu only to find out it was the last night the restaurant would be open. Our waitress suggested another Peruvian restaurant in downtown San Jose called Nazca."

"The ceviche mixto was off-the-hook great! The tacu tacu was good but I would've liked a little more richness of the flavors that were in the disk....and a little heat, too! But is was very good and the service was excellent!"

"While the outside is nothing to recall, this restaurant was wonderful. It was pretty quiet, so our table of 8 was ready to go when we arrived. Most things were fairly ordinary about the restaurant, but the food was fabulous! We enjoyed every dish (all sampling a bit of each other's) and will definitely be going back."

"Really delicious food. I wasn't planning on a big meal, but everything was so delicious I just kept eating! Only drawback is strip-mall location (although parking was easy), but great for evening or casual dinners."

"Went in for Valentine's Day and it was busy but owner didnt think of adding extra help. Took a while to ge the food and felt bad for the server; he was so busy.
Food was okay. Ordered the dish with the steak and egg (sorry forgot the name). My girlfriend got the chicken fried rice. We also had the Tamal as an appetizer. Couldn't really distinguish tastes and therefore the food was kind of boring.
Overall this is a good place to go to for lunch or dinner if you're just dining casually."
