★★★☆☆ 3.0 Nuria El · Oct 2025

I ordered the codfish with tomato sauce, and honestly, I didn’t like it the flavor was just off. My cousin had the shrimp al ajillo, and she really enjoyed hers, so maybe it just depends on what you order. The girls working there were absolutely lovely and super kind, but overall, my own dish wasn’t great, and I personally wouldn’t go back.

★★★★★ 5.0 Tina Colon · Nov 2025

The food was flavorful, fresh and sizable portions. From our drinks, appetizers and meal, everything was perfect. The drinks were so good. I went and stopped at the liquor store to recreate them. The service was good.

★★★★★ 5.0 Adam O · Oct 2025

I have been to both to this location as well as other one. I went with Pollo a la Brasa, Lomo Saltado, Jalea Mixta, Maduros, and Arroz Amarillo and Frijoles. All were very good. Rosy was very nice and I would recommend this place to others for delicious Peruvian and Portuguese food.

★★★★☆ 4.0 Wayland Moran · Aug 2025

Food was top notch, coffee excellent. Service was a little slow and forgot my flan. Overall, I will be going back again.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jessica P · Jan 2026

Food was delicious when it finally came out about 1 hr later. The drinks took a while too but were good. It was a karaoke night... So, it was fun? But a little tooooo much karaoking for my personal liking
