“I ordered a 1/2 Pollo a la Brasa and Arroz Chaufa (Sam Si i think) and it was the BEST!!!”
“He is a picky eater so asked for the green sauce on the side – the waiter looked at him funny and assured him it was amazing but said he would bring it on the side anyway.”
“It's a Peruvaian spot with Chinese being served as well, but cultures influence the different menus and it makes it SOOOO GOOD.”

I was disappointed with my dinner. I love Peruvian food and had just gotten back from a 1.5 week trip to Peru. Many of the items that I wanted were "gone". It was a Tuesday night and it was very slow. To be out, they must have an amazing lunch business or they don't order very well. While the portions were big, I didn't want to eat mine. The chicken was way over-cooked and tasted like it has been fried 2x before. The yuca was good though. My partner liked his dinner. The waitress was very sweet and helpful. Perhaps I just got them on a bad night but would not likely give them a 2nd chance.
Although not the typical outdoor seafood place I like stopping at when boating at home, my dad was raving about this place so I had to try it! There is a dock a block or two from the restaurant so we took the boat over for lunch.
It doesn't look like a sit down restaurant when you walk in but there are tables around the back and a sign reading seat yourself. When we walked around back, it was packed for lunch. The staff were really friendly and told us they would clear a table and it wouldn't be too long of a wait.
Portions are HUGE! We ordered 3 things for the four of us to share and had a ton left over, everything was phenomenal. Ceviche with fish and shrimp was unreal, such a large portion for a great price. They ask if you want it spicy, we said no b/c mom doesn't like spicy – it was still flavorful and delicious. My mouth is watering thinking about it!
My brother ordered the Bisteack con Tallarines Verdes, which comes with noodles in green sauce. He is a picky eater so asked for the green sauce on the side – the waiter looked at him funny and assured him it was amazing but said he would bring it on the side anyway. We all ended up loving the green sauce, including my brother, who poured it on the noodles anyway. Yumm green sauce. It was out of this world, it was something like a pesto but creamier, not oil based. I dipped the steak and some seafood in it, I couldn't get enough. We also had a mix of fried seafood – this was good but my least favorite. We would of had enough food without this and ended up bringing most of it home. The steak and ceviche was all gone and I would highly suggest ordering both those options.
I'll be back next time I'm in town!
