★★★★☆ 4.0 Adam A · Oct 2025

The all great and mighty Al Carbon what has happened! You introduced me to Peruvian food and it was simply amazing! The store on 29 from the small take out operation to the train store. All gone now just this location and the food is wonderful but it’s just falling off. It’s lost the local charm but is still a nice gateway to your wonderful cuisine. I had the burrito and my wife had the tacos. The chicken and chorizo are wonderful.

Great spot for a family-style meal! The whole chicken with three sides was fantastic—juicy, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. The street corn is a must-try, full of flavor and perfectly seasoned. Don’t skip the hot salsa either—it pairs beautifully with the chicken and really rounds out the meal. If you’re looking for a protein-packed, delicious lunch, this is the place to go.

A must visit- the food was absolutely delicious: all the tacos, burritos, and roast chicken . The place gets very busy especially at lunch. Fantastic and friendly staff.

The food was good, we ordered a family meal, while chicken with yellow rice, yuca frita and Elote. The portion was small for almost $40, if you have a family of 4 it's now worth buying.

★★★★★ 5.0 Bella Carner · Jan 2026

I cannot explain how delicious and delectable your food is. Every time I come in I order the same thing just because it’s literally perfect. You guys have the best burritos I’ve ever had in my entire life, and I can honestly say no one else compares, and to top it off, every employee is so sweet and kind. I moved away for college and each time I come home I have someone take me here. Thank you guys for sharing your amazing food.
