The Best Mexican Restaurant Experience in the City!
From the moment I walked in, I felt like I was on vacation in Mexico. The ambience was vibrant & authentic, with music, decor, & a welcoming atmosphere that instantly set the mood. But what truly made the experience unforgettable was the food - fresh, flavorful, & perfectly seasoned. Every bite transported me to the heart of Mexico.
The staff were just as impressive - warm, friendly, & genuinely passionate about what they do. Their hospitality added a personal touch that made the entire experience feel special. If you're looking for a true Mexican dining experience, this place is a must-visit!
Food was good, but waiter was pushy trying to sell more drinks. It was a quiet wednesday night. The music was a little too loud on the terrasse. The waiter made me uncomfortable. Oh & the duct tape reparation on the table…sketchy.

Absolutely delicious! The food was tasty & flavorful, but pricey for the appetizers. The staff was caring. They have music, tv screens & nice decor. Next time we'll try the drinks!
TL:DR, it's okay but try it for yourself. I have read several reviews before dinning-in twice & they are accurate: this is N0T & Authentic Peruvian cuisine! For an authentic plate from Perú there's are several others establishments on the same street & nearby. However the rest is better, for the most; staff is very friendly, the Causa cón Pulpo is a must try, the Squid Fettuccini is also a delice (despite it not being traditional Peruvian dish) the Papa à la Huancaina sauce is on top, but there is no Aji de Gallina on the menu (a very popular Peruvian dish!) the Lomo Saltado is stirred on a Wok as opposed to the traditional large pan stir fry (salteado), the waiting time is very long (about 30min even for a starter & we were not served at the same time bit times I went), we received the exact same plates but another table was complaining that within their three Squid Causa: one was missing the Peruvian corn, & another had double the Squid seafood which warrant the uneven quantity of food served or omissions in others reviews thereof. Around 9h38 pm the kitchen did not take any new orders because after 10pm it is drinking only & Latino Hip Hop music too loud for the small restaurant. Free tap water also stops after 10pm I returned during the Final of COPA America 2024, the ambiance was great, the Causa & Papas were great, the Pisco Sour was a disaster: it was colorless & tasted like water, felt like a rob for $14+tax & tips. I was not allowed for an alfajores dessert after 10pm because the kitchen closed, even if it is stashed in a cookie jar. Watching a sports over there event is entertaining.
Toda la comida es exquisita, siempre vengo aquí por mi lomo salteado, siempre los mejores cocktails y el mejor servicio. Hoy con la mejor música para celebrar el cumpleanos de mi amigo, gracias!
Stopped because the terrasse was opened, music was playing & people were smiling. Tried the specials, pisco sour & mango-rita & were pleasantly surprised! Merci!
