Stopped here for lunch around noon on a Saturday. There weren't too many people here yet (it doesn't open until 11:30), so we had a section almost all to ourselves. While we munched on the complementary freshly made tortilla chips and very nice house salsa, we perused the menu, finally deciding on the pescado Veracruz (sautéed fish topped with tomatoes, capers, onions, olives, peppers and white wine) with a side for fried sweet plantains. We asked and were told the fish was tilapia - previously when we'd had this dish elsewhere, red snapper (which is traditionally used) was the fish, so we wondered how the tilapia would compare.The food arrived after a short wait and certainly looked good. We sampled the plantains and found them just barely warm - clearly they had been made up first and sat around waiting for the fish to be completed. The fish was a bit long in the tooth - having a distinctly fishy flavor - and compared to snapper (which is firmer) was decidedly mushy to the point of falling apart when we tried to get a forkful. Service was fairly good, although we had three or four servers during the course of the meal so didn't get anything like personalized service. Overall, a good meal, but not the best Mexican that we've had.

Local community favorite. Delicious perfect Peruvian chicken. Big menu. The food is very good. Fresh. Portions are fair, prices are moderate to high for counter service. Carne Asada 2 sides $20. Small side (the smallest deli tub), $4. Lots of take-out with separate call-in counter. Eat-in restaurant area is clean and spacious, but very loud from the stereo speakers. Super loud sometimes. Language barriers with some employees, but the guy who takes your order is bilingually fluent. Busy place especially at peak hours. Parking gets tight. Easy to miss the turn in off Rt 1, pay attention. Used to be the only Peruvian chicken place in the area, generally good reputation.

Absolutely fantastic homemade latino food! Guacamole was very fresh, chili con queso was not velveeta with chilli. We had the mole sauce with chicken enchiladas. Delicious. Can't wait to come back. Everything I put in my mouth was amazing. Service was excellent. The atmosphere is clean and lively.
