Offers tasty Peruvian standard options at an affordable price. One of the few Peruvian restaurant in the city of Toronto.

Food is pretty good but almost all the mains are from the 18 range. I think it's a bit pricey for what is almost like home cooking, but it's worthwhile if you are a big fan of peruvian food.

This was my first experience going to a Peruvian restaurant and I must say that it's fantastic. I ordered a seafood dish with rice and some fried yucca. The fish was cooked perfectly and the sauce for it was to die for. I know my partner also enjoyed his meal as well. even the atmosphere and decor was really cool. If I were in the area again, I definitely go back :)

AWFUL FOOD AND HORRENDOUS SERVICE DO NOT MATCH BEAUTIFUL DECOR. To start off, this restaurant had a decor makeover on a reality show so the decor is very welcoming. BUT ... it was completely downhill from there. The entrees were super bland and several of the seafood courses tasted the same! The service was extremely slow. The soup came out after the main course was finished. Some people didn't get their entree til others were finished eating. And for a party of 6 or more or a party that spends 150, there's a 18% gratuity which certainly was not deserved in this case. WE FELT SO RIPPED OFF BY THIS BAD DINING EXPERIENCE. *** Note that any good reviews for this restaurant are from a few years ago. Most recent reviews are ONE STAR ONLY.

Warning! Do not eat here. This restaurant awarded me the best father's day gift ever... food poisoning. The service was good, they were nice and attentive, and until the following day I likely would have recommended the restaurant. I ordered the Jalea (seafood).

Waited over an hour for nothing! Booked a reservation for 7 people for 7 pm on Saturday night. We told them in advance we are celebrating a birthday. We were seated right away upon arrival. We waited about 15 minutes for the waitress to take our drink and appetizer orders. The appetizers came out about 15 minutes later (one at a time) and were brought by another server assistant. We asked this server assistant to take our orders for the main dishes but she said only the waitress can take orders. She said she would let the waitress know we were ready. The waitress NEVER came back. We asked the server assistant again about 20 minutes later and another 20 minutes after that and each time she said she would get our waitress but disappeared. By 8:15 pm (1 HOUR AND 15 MINUTES AFTER ARRIVING), the waitress STILL hadn't come to take our orders so we asked the server assistant to bill us out and we left. During our ample amount of free time to look around the restaurant, we noticed that they only have one waitress on staff and one server assistant for the entire restaurant. This restaurant definitely needs more staff. The one waitress was answering the phone, pouring drinks, and taking other tables orders (just not ours). We will NEVER GO BACK.

I had some really delicious rice and seafood. It is really a treat and Peruvian cuisine has so many amazing influences (Hispanic and Japanese) and is also reminiscent of Caribbean cuisine. Passed by the other day and saw it was bumping. Rightly so. NB. I got take out so I can't comment on the service but the food was tays-tee!

I have got the worse experience food and service wise in this place. I ordered the jalea dish and this is what I got 2 small shrimps, 4 rings of squid, 3 small pieces of fish, and 1 third of a baby octopus that I was trying to figure out what kind of seafood was that. The price of the dish was C 18.00 which I believe it was expensive for the entree dish which is more like an appetizer size. The waitress was out of content she didn't know what kind of wine was she selling, and when she served the wine at the table she filled the glass all the way to the top. When I called her to ask her about the size of the food, she said- Oh! I thought there was something wrong with your food, Oh! the size???!! well, what can I do. I ask her for some lemon, I guess she forgot it and send it almost at the end of my meal. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE to people who knows about Peruvian food and how it is served properly. I WILL NEVER come back to his place.
