   Well I'm in a love/hate situation with this restaurant. I'll start with the day the food pretty much tasted like my grandma's. Don't worry I didn't cry. My coworker recommended me this place because of a new Peruvian chef in the kitchen. I was game of course.

   They offered menu which is basically a lunch special from $7.50-$8.50. You get a soup, an entree, a tiny desert and a soda. My soup was the patasca which has beef, potatoes and mote (a type of peruvian corn) I then ordered the carapulcra which is basically a stew composed of previously dried potatoes an pork and comes with white rice. The food retained Peruvian authenticity and it was flavorful.

   Here comes the gastronomic debacle. We ordered  take-out for the office. We shared a fish ceviche, jalea (fried seafood), and a tuna causa (tuna in between two layers of cold yellow potato) and right away we noticed that the food was a disaster. The ceviche was overcooked by the lemon juiced and it was drenched (too much juice). Next the jalea was overcooked in the fryer and they forgot to change the cooking oil because the seafood was dark brown. The causa was good but the damage was already done. It's disappointing because this place has so much potential.

   I will give this place another chance just because of the unbelievable menu I had.  Come on guys step it up!!
