Lunch, dinner, appetizers and drinks will please the palate. Any time of day or night you will find customers in the restaurant or at the bar. Fresh fish and homemade soups are my favorite. Family friendly too!

We just came there and had dinner. Awesome food. We had beef stew, white rice, red beans, mofongo, grilled chicken and baked chicken. Delicious Dominican food. The service was awesome. Will definitely go back with the family. They make their own flan.

Coming for a late dinner, we were charmed by the lovely decor, like sitting in an outdoor courtyard in Spain (though indoors). Families were there with children, as well as adults eager for a delicious dinner. Service was friendly and accurate, with a feeling of warm welcome. (Only gripe: I had to ask for water 3 times before I got it.) Seafood was beautifully fresh. My red snapper was delicate and tender, my husband also had snapper but with "fruits of the sea." He said that the mussels were so fresh that the water in them had a touch of flavor of the sea, which is only typical of seaside restaurants. One friend had tapas dishes, among which was octopus, which he deemed perfectly prepared. And the other, who had veal, said it too was delicious. Sides were tomato rice, very fresh garden veggies, and slightly greasy hot potato "chips." They don't really give you choices on the sides. I would say the sides were ok, not transcendent! Their menu does have a few nice vegetarian options also. Not sure about vegan. They have a free parking lot. The restaurant is BYOB, with a store next door where you can buy wine, a good selection at reasonable prices. This is a user-friendly dining experience with outstandingly fresh food, well prepared, and good service.

Overall decent place to enjoy lunch or dinner. I gave it 3-stars because the waiter was horrible. She kept chatting with the bar tender and hardly checked on us. I kept trying to get her attention about 4-5 times. I felt she could have paid a little bit more attention to her tables.

My husband and I have been going to this restaurant for 10 years. If you want true authentic peruvian food, this is the place to go. The food is delicious, the prices are extremely reasonable and the service is good. Although the location may not be the best, the food is definitely worth it.

First. let me say that their participation in the airline miles dining program brought us here. Their front door is somewhat scary, like the entrance to a Speakeasy. The interior is dimly lit with a garish decor against a black ceiling. There were no prices listed on their specialty drinks menu. We ordered soft drinks and were brought a can of soda sand a bottle of Snapple; we had to ask for glasses of ice. Even though it was after lunch and there were only about 15 people present it took a long time for our entrees to arrive. It seemed even longer because no complimentary chips and salsa were provided to whet our appetites. My barely warm bland Chicken Enchiladas came on a hot plate with lots of lettuce. My spouse's Combo Fortaleza had nice seasoning although a somewhat salty flavor. The rice and beans were average. After the disappointing entrees, we skipped the $6 Flan. They have 1/2 price Happy Hour drinks and Nachos & Wings Mondays through Thursdays that would might motivate you to visit during that time. Just don't go with high expectations for other choices on the menu.

Our family has spent many nights here over the years and celebrated many happy occasions. That being said, this restaurant has not changed and seems old. The food seems old, the decor is old the menu is uninspiring. The only bright spot was the sangria. Very sad.

An ECUADORIAN restaurant with a touch of Peru.Exquisite cuisine, phenomenal sangria, and super friendly service. Huge family portions with out breaking your budget. (A tasty variety of fresh Seafood, Steaks, Ceviches, Chaufas, Tallarin, Fritada, and Cocktails). Venue and Parking are not the best and the wait is (sometimes) long. But i leave super happy every time...

Went for a working lunch with a few coworkers and we were able to enjoy a delicious meal in a live environment while working. The staff was accommodating and gave us a big table so we can work and eat. The food is always more than plenty and priced very reasonably.
