Food:
- The Lomo Saltado is good, the steak is a little tough but the fries are very well done. I'd prefer the meat to be a little bit thicker and a little bit more rare, but the flavors are great. I really liked the onions and tomatoes with this dish. The sauce that the dish sits in is really good with the rice. Make sure to get a little piece of everything for a bite because all the ingredients go so well together
- The Ceviche Mixto is a must get. It will be the most interesting ceviche you'll ever have. There's fish, there's squid, there's octopus, there's shrimp, and there's giant corn kernels (at least that's what I think it is). I really enjoyed the sweet potato that was served with this dish as well. There's a lot of textures going on with this dish and I love that about it. You get a nice crisp from the red onions on top, a solid bite from the giant corn kernels, a creaminess from the sweet potato, and a satisfying chewy texture from the seafood. You won't regret getting this if you're into seafood
- The meat in the Seco de Cordero is so flakey and moist. It's fibrous and easy to eat. I really liked the pinto beans with the rice in this dish as well. I've noticed all the dishes we got were topped with pickled red onions, but I thought it paired the best with this dish. The way the food was arranged on the plate felt like I was getting a home cooked mean from my imaginary South American grandmother. Don't sleep on this special!
Ambience:
- The back wall is painted with the classic machu picchu style inca citadel that's fun to look at
- The place is cozy and small in a charming way
- There's also outside seating offered on benches in front of the establishment
Overall:
The service here is top notch. I went with a friend and the staff checked in on us very often. You can tell they care about the food and your dining experience. Every dish we had was unique and memorable in its own way. I felt at home here and though the menu was a little daunting to look through, the person taking out order was very helpful in guiding us on what to get (their recommendations did no disappoint). I look forward to returning and trying more dishes from here
