The food! We all liked the lomo, one person loves this place and the green sauce. The aguitito and beans were good. The Inca Kola reminds me of fanta, was good. Got three Lomo Saltado(13.75), an Aguatito(9.99), small and medium beans($6 together), don't remember what the $4 was, Inca Gold Kolas 2 liters($5), and sauce 2.50. More than enough food for 4. There was a mix up in the order because I speak really low and the face masks make it harder to understand me but they were more than happy to accommodate the order(they seemed willing to replace items or refund them).

Though a small joint, it's food is my son's favorite. Order chaufa and save $$ as you can easily share it with someone. It a large portion of chicken and rice! The pollo a la brasa is tasty and a favorite of mine. Three stars for this place needs a bigger venue to fill more people! But it sales good food!

The food is very tasty, the Aguadito, Lomo Saltado and Pollo A las brasas was really good. We also tried the Ollocuito con carne and although it was good it lacked enough carne. The place is very tiny and it was busy for a Wednesday. As other reviews said, I would rather take out then eat there. It is pricey and the cashier could use a bit of customer service training. She wasn't rude but very short and not informative when asked about the menu.

Don’t understand how people expect service immediately when they want something fresh . Waited for my food but worth every penny . Food is great and great location. Other reviews that never tasted the food and gave it a bad review makes me think they might feel entitled to get full attention.
