Aksel YavalarMarch 30, 2013140 beers on the shelf. Amazing tapas. Not a big fan of the 12% Belgium beer, it actually pretty bad. But at the end of the day, the owners are truly appreciative of you biz. Thanks Kyle!
Ms HeleneMarch 26, 2014Peruvian ceviche was best but Ecuadorian comes with plantain chips. Caucas mushroom were only ok. Finish with chocolate truffles to end on a high! Extensive beer list also.
shaina fainglasApril 17, 2012Everything is amazing! My favs are the lobster guacamole ( actual big chunks of lobster), braised beef short ribs, skirt steak (big portion) and their ceviches!!! Also try the vanilla coffee beer!
Laura Soto-TorresApril 1, 2016the atmosphere here is so cool. The yucca fries with the sauces were amazing but so was everything we ordered. you can't go wrong with this place
The Corcoran GroupSeptember 20, 2013When we're craving tapas, we flock to the joint for their awesome lobster guacamole, skirt steak skewers, fish tacos, and shrimp causas.
Amanda SchneiderAugust 25, 2014Love the brussel sprouts and Peruvian style ceviche. Goat cheese fritters are good but sweet. Heads up - they just serve wine, beer and sparkling (no liquor).
Ina LiJune 26, 2016Love their tropical ceviche and arugula salad. Lovely outdoor seating and good selection of beer

Katya BelakovskayaApril 23, 2014Lobster guac, ceviche, and skirt steak were absolutely amazing!!! Great atmosphere and even better wait staff! Would highly recommend coming here.
Jen KeeganDecember 11, 2012Must try the lobster guac, braised short ribs, Mexican style ceviche and the fish tacos!!! Can't lose with this place! Sangria pitchers are great too!!!
Caytha JentisDecember 13, 2014Tapas was as fabulous as the Service! Of note: the tuna tartare, the lobster guacamole, the steak skewers and all the empanadas.
Shannon CoulsonSeptember 23, 2014Absolutely delicious. Kind of a weird combo between Mexican, South American and Spanish, but it works! Warning though - the waiter splashed my friend's LV purse with Sangria and didn't apologize.
Jimmy YOctober 7, 2016The lobster guacamole, tacos and empanadas are awesome! Don't come with a date cause the music decibel level is a bit high!
Joe RunnerMay 7, 2013The lobster guacamole is awesome! Service is excellent! Portions are smaller then what most of us maybe used to buy they so the trick. I would come again.
Sofia PapastamelosMay 29, 2017Very friendly owner and staff. They can accommodate large parties and offer fixed priced meals with unlimited sangria.
Angela MauroAugust 25, 2016Everything was amazing! Lobster guac, short ribs, Peruvian ceviche, fried cauliflower, chocolate truffles

ConBonJanuary 27, 2013We recommend the skirt steak, mushroom Peruvian potatoes, mexican ceviche, empanadas. But they charge you a cake fee. It was well worth it.

Cedric GianniJanuary 22, 2012Very nice place. Food is good quality. But how strange that in a supposedly Peruvian place, they don't serve pisco sour!!
Patricia Diaz SwedinJune 9, 2013Wyerbacher's Blithering Idiot. Seafood Causa. Panna Cotta. Well-reviewed by my Peruvian grandmother.
Travis S.M.August 4, 2013Lobster guacamole was really good, just don't expect them to pile it on. The brunch was mediocre... I hope the rest of their food is actually better, I found it to be boring. Staff was inattentive.

"Adorable atmosphere. Great place to go for a glass of wine and a cheese plate. Communal tables so might not be the best first date spot"

"Call your order in first if possible or be prepared to wait 10 mins at least to even order. Either way it's worth it. Yummy!!!"
