"A decade of turning a nondescript corner under the BQE into a destination for anticuchos and creative takes on Peruvian cuisine culminates in a farewell on December 20, after helping showcase the breadth of Peru’s ingredients and influences that, as Pete Wells wrote in a 2016 two-star review, had "not been especially well displayed in New York." Its success spawned sister projects — from the now-closed Llama San and Llamita to the still-going Nikkei izakaya Papa San — even as the Williamsburg original prepares to close, with London and Madrid outposts remaining open." - Bettina Makalintal
