I love this place, the food is authentic and they're not stingy with the portions. Dani and manny are awesome. You must try their chicken causa and their aguadito to start, their entrees are all so good I don't know which one to recommend, I could point at one with my eyes closed and know I will not be disappointed.

I absolutely love the food here. It is definitely in my top 5 favorite restaurants in the Bay Area. I cannot wait to try other dishes here. The Lomo Saltado is sooo good and delish. The vegetables were fresh as well. The plantains are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Got the Pollito con Camote (Kids) and Pollito con Papas (Kids) forthe kids seemed to be a good sized portion given the price.
I had the Peruvian Cobb Salad. Was flavorful with a light somewhat fruity taste but not sweet. Was fresh and as per usual I appreciate the portions. Gives a respectful amount of meat too. Has become my go to Cobb Salad in a pinch and would order again.

The only thing better than the service is the food. I'd ordered delivery from her as well as dine in and I'm always more than satisfied. I ordered food and drinks delivered for my birthday and WOW even the drinks were delicious and perfectly balanced. 10/10 would recommend

You will want to finish the whole thing solo it is just that good! Rich, creamy, but not too heavy. The addition of olive and walnut add notes to the aji de gallina that bring it to the top. The chicken is tender, and it is always always made consistently. The eggs are also never overboiled and always delicious too. The rice has a garlic flavor in it. Delicious delicious delicious. 10/10 well worth the wait and price.
