Can't find a chain with good soup and lomo saltado like this place

Food was blah. Compared to other Peruvian restaurants, the food here falls short. For the price, I expected better tasting food. We came on a Friday evening and it was pretty dead. That should have been our first clue. The service was even worse. Our waiter was not pleasant and seemed to be annoyed that he had to serve us. Then when I asked him if they could sing happy birthday to my brother since it was his bday, he said “we used to do that but not anymore”. Spend your money elsewhere.

La comida en general bastante aceptable PERO los anticuchos re cocinados (pedimos medium well), además de estar sazonados solo con vinagre y ají colorado, extremadamente ácidos. El pisco sour, sin espuma, creo que no deberían ahorrar en ingredientes.

One of the best restaurants in the world. Loma saltado, soup, salad and so many more outstanding dishes. Must visit and several local are all good.

This is a great cozy low lit place with excellent soup for colds! I enjoy the food here, although the prices are on the medium ti higher end , a large soup will run you $16.00. It will feed two, so it's actually worth the price. It's made daily and like I mentioned, great for a cold. Share a plate, and it won't be too expensive, the portions are good sized. I ordered two large soups to go!

Well known local chain offering iconic Peruvian dishes. Our favorites: Tallarin Verde con Bistec Apanado (spaghetti in pesto sauce, topped with a breaded milanesa steak), Lomo Saltado (sautéed beef strips, stir fried with veggies and french fries), Chaufa De Pollo (fried rice with chicken) Of course, their yummy yummy yummy chicken cilantro soup - Aguadita de Pollo, freshly rolls, and delicious slightly spicy Peruvian green sauce, Aji Verde. I've been eating at their various locations for over 30 years and have loved it each time. Our teenager request it

Me gusto el Lomo salteado y el ají de gallina, la verdad muy recomendable el sabor además de que sirven una porción grande. Me desilusionó que el ceviche no lo hicieran con la leche de tigre, para mí servir el ceviche peruano con la leche de tigre es obligación, pero bueno, ni modo. Otra cosa secundaria es que el lugar me dio un olor raro, como húmedo o de madera vieja, después se me pasó o se me olvidó, no impidió que disfrutara después la comida.
