Here’s a polished review including your dishes: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing Peruvian food! I ordered the Aguadito de Pollo, Lomo Saltado, and the Ceviche plate — everything was bursting with authentic flavor. The aguadito was comforting and perfectly seasoned, the lomo saltado was tender and savory, and the ceviche was fresh, zesty, and full of vibrant taste. Great portions, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommend and will definitely be coming back! 🇵🇪✨

Where do I start?! The Arroz Con Mariscos and the ceviche were definitely my favorite! The ceviche was so flavorful and fresh. I love that it’s made fresh so that they can customize it to no cilantro. The lomo saltado was delicious too. The owner was so nice and friendly he even gave us this circular chicken with egg sauce on top dish to try! Idk what it’s called but definitely would come back again for it!

Came by a little after 11 and they weren't open quite yet so we walked around in the market for a bit then came back. I did a quick research on the word Chifa and learned that Chinese immigrants immigrated to Peru in the 19th century and brought their food and culture, thus forming Peruvian Chinese/Cantonese fusion. Chifa is probably derived from the word "chi fan" which Chinese means to eat. Anyway as for the food here, it was pretty good. Lomo sauce was tasty and for my dish I ordered chicken with it and it had the nice burnt wok flavor. The lomo saltado beef reminds me of broccoli beef.

I was craving for lomo saltado, and was searching for a place in the area. I found this place with great reviews, decided to come by. It is located on Garvey Ave in the same plaza of a grocery store. Parking was easy. The decoration gave me a little Asian vibes to it. The owner is a very kind man. He is very friendly and welcoming. He offered all the customers with free drinks or soda. He speaks English, Spanish, Cantonese, and mandarin. I am amazed by that. Salute. We ordered 2 lomo saltado, and it is the best lomo saltado I have had so far. He uses beef slices instead of steak chunk. However, no where I have been can beat the taste of it. The beef was tender and juice, and the fries were crispy! I will come back to support small business again!

No frills restaurant with very comfortable chairs. Pescado a lo macho is to die for!! Flavor is much like the oyster bar's pan roast in Vegas, but at half the price. Will visit again
