markus g. • July 23, 2014Awesome food! Great atmosphere! Get the empanadas!!!!

Sally M. • October 29, 2013Love this place. The sandwiches are good, the salami omelette is yummy, and the morir soñando - while not as tasty as my mother's - is good. Plus, it's super affordable.

Eric L. • April 30, 2016ceviche mixto! have it in the backyard in the summer; go surf & turf and split it along with entraña

Josue E. • June 17, 2017Arepas, arepas, arepas!!! The ultimate Colombian comfort food. Happiness is a warm arepa. I'm in heaven!

Russell H. • August 27, 2016Tabla meat platter was terrific, you can tell it is authentic. Medium rare only! Empanadas, grilled octopus and provolone apps were delish. Red sangria to wash it down.

Lori L. • April 16, 2015Simple Venezuelan options, including patacons and arepas, come with a variety of proteins and fillings. Make your own, or opt for a signature dish, like the sizable Burger Patacon.

Judy C. • June 11, 2019Grab a quickie lunch and sit upstairs. Great to try are: mix ceviche, it’s really fresh, seafood rice and shrimp & potatoes. Don’t forget the spicy sauce.

Bibi M. • January 31, 2011Don't be fooled by campy theme and Glee wannabees downstairs in Lulu karaoke lounge. Fun & delicious! Great for groups! Much fresher/tastier than the infamous place next door.

IrmaZandl Z. • December 22, 2019The tuna ceviche and the duck nigiri are both amazing and the flaming creatures cocktail is divine. It’s a bit too reverential for my liking. It needs a little more of a fun factor.

Marco A. • November 26, 2022Amazing food and service. Real authentic Peruvian food with a sophisticated flare.

Ferit K. • June 16Join the local Ecuadorian crowd and check what the Ecuadorians are munching on before you order

Adrienne C. • January 7, 2016So delicious! I don't know if I'd had Ecuadorian before, but the balon de queso was amazing and their housemade orange salsa was the best!

Justin D. • March 31, 2016Fantastic pisco cocktails and Peruvian food pairings work a treat. But call ahead, it's been discovered.

Suzy T. • August 18, 2022Seafood coconut curry and the chicken wings were bomb

Ernesto G. • January 31, 2019You just cannot go wrong here. For the price, plates are 30% smaller than you’d expect but delicious nonetheless. Highlights: shrimp anticucho, aji de gallina, pisco sour. Skip the tres leches.

Sam G. • April 17, 2011Brunch is wonderful in the warmer months. Sit outside or by the window-and try the caprese empanadas
