This place was recommended by a coworker and since we were in town we decided to give it a try. I am glad we decided to give it a try because it did not disappoint. The workers were amazing and welcoming. The restaurant was clean and the decor was nice. Parking was a bit difficult to find, but we expected this from San Francisco. The bread and sauce given at the beginning were delicious. I could not get enough and wanted more. The Lomo saltado needed a bit more seasoning, but it was still good. The pescado sudado was very good that I finished it all. The portions were great and I would be definitely be coming back when in the area.

The food was exquisite. I’m Peruvian, I’ve been in the US for more than 8 years and this is by far the best Peruvian place I’ve been to in the US. Really glad I ran into this place. The waiter was very attentive and kind too!

Excellent restaurant . I reserve 5 stars for the ultimate dining experience, but this place is close to that. The sangria is excellent and our dishes were fantastic. This place has a local feel and very friendly staff. I highly recommend this place and will go back. Most dinners are in the $18 range.

We have been coming here off and on for over 20 years. We were happy to take Muni bus line 29 then the 49 to have a nice lunch for our family of five on a day trip to the city. We were hungry after walking the morning being tourists in our own backyard. Three apetizers, four entrees, and 2-liter bottle of Inca Cola, with tip came out to $190. Big plates of good food. Sorry we don't have pictures of all the great food.

My family and I have been coming here for years and we love the food, especially the Lomo Saltado and Ceviche. The lomo is tasty with lots of sauce that I like to mix with the rice. The portion is generous and reasonably priced. The fish in the ceviche is fresh and the sauce perfectly complements the dish. The owner is friendly and the service is great. I highly recommend this restaurant for excellent Peruvian cuisine.

Incredible ceviche, probably the best I’ve had in the US, and with very generous portions. Make sure to ask for spicy sauce — really brings the food to the next level. This place is a rare find of delicious authentic cooking, large portions, and very reasonable prices. Will definitely be coming back soon to try the rest of the menu.
