★★★★★ 5.0 Ivonne Magdaleno · Oct 2025

Fabulously delicious. An explosion of flavors are found here; as expected from seasoned Peruvian restauranteur, Chef Marcos. If you ever had the pleasure of dining at either of his previous restaurants (El Carbonazo and Inca's Empire), you'd know of the great selection of fine ingredients that form part of his native cuisine. He takes great pride in the preparation of his dishes. Everything we tried was tasty and authentic. The staff is friendly and the place is filled with natural light and clean decor. Items recommended are pictured in Photos. We look forward to our next visit. Until then, I leave you with Seafood Jalea, Ceviche, Seafood Causa, Grilled Octopus, and Baked Chicken. The Soft Opening was last Sunday, and the Grand Opening is scheduled for Sunday, October 26th, 2025. Come, ea

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Delicious! I stopped by Uncle Marco’s Express and tried their chicharrón sandwich, and wow—it did not disappoint! The pork was incredibly moist, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned, with just the right amount of crisp on the outside. The sweet potato crisps added a nice crunch and a touch of sweetness that balanced everything beautifully. On top of that, the service was phenomenal—friendly, fast, and welcoming from the moment I walked in. You can tell they really care about their food and their customers. If you’re in the area, definitely stop by and try this spot. The food tastes homemade, and you’ll leave completely satisfied. Highly recommend!

Our first time visiting the restaurant. Mr. Marcos food is delicious. I am happy that he open his new restaurant. Food was on point I tried the soup from Paraguay , which was delicious. It reminded me of the soup that grandma used to make. My family were satisfied with all the food that we ordered. Definitely we will come back.
