“ I love everything about this place. The food is really amazing. I have to recommend the empanadas are just killer. The ceviches are also really really good. I've never had anything here I didn't like. However, the noise level is really critically high. They could have gotten a five if they had had some noise dampening but for now that noise level is killer. I feel like I'm hoarse after yelling across the table at our companions ”
“ Overall food was amazingly tasty, specially I got hooked on spicy ceviche, specially being finicky about ceviche. Atmosphere and staff service adds more value to the delicious food. Prices can be in higher side but worth it ”
“ My family went a few days ago for my dad’s birthday and we’re still talking about the food. The seafood was fresh, the ceviche was addicting , the steak was huge, the rice was amazing and the drinks were really good!! The service was also amazing. We asked for recommendations and they didn’t disappoint obviously. We were checked on multiple times by different staff through the dinner. They even were able to sing happy birthday to my dad and had a sparkler! We’ve already recommended this place to others! From what I can remember we had mango lemonade, pisco sour, the purple drink in the photo?, mixto amarillo? ceviche (3 different types of ceviche) arroz con pollo, antichucho con pollo, churrasco, the chocolate bandido and mango panna cotta. 100% would go again!! ”
“ Really good food, I just got in town and my sister recommended this spot and I was not disappointed the vegetable empanada really surprise me. They were delicious ”
“ I wasn't too impressed with the half-rotisserie chicken; the breast was super dry, dark meat parts were OK but I wanted more intense flavor. That said, it's not a bad deal for two if you're not big eaters (salad and fries). There's lot of other stuff on the menu, I think I will give them another shot for lunch. ”
“ Awesome location with a great selection and top notch quality. The Dorado en salsa de mariscos had the best scallops I've eaten along with a beautiful piece of mahi mahi and a beautiful prawn. The La podersoa with chicken got a great review and everyone left happy. Definitely worth a drop in. ”
