I never had Peruvian food before, so I was actually very excited to try something new. Unfortunately the experience was nothing to brag about.
Location: The restaurant is located in a hidden plaza on Richmond. I walk in with friends and the restaurant is completely empty at 8pm on a Wed. Did the dinner rush pass through and we missed it?!
Service: One waitress. She was friendly, but the service was painfully slow. Getting food recommendations from her was no easy task. The food took over 30 min to be served...
Food: Salty and dry. My friends and I ordered and ate family style, so we tried 3 dishes. I'm not a big fan of ceviche, but my friends peruvian friend recommended the dish. We tried the fish ceviche, which was a big disappointment. The dish was too fishy for my taste. The A pollo a la brasa is a very traditional dish. It is basically a rotisserie chicken Peruvian style. Also served with a side of French fries. The chicken was moist at the first bite, but became more dry as we cut to the center of the chicken. The Chuafa Peruano can be compared to a typical Asian fried rice dish that my mother could have made at home, but less dry. The seasoning of the rice was the only kick to the dish. Probably the best, from the 3 we ordered. I do recommend the "purple corn drink" if you want to try something new.
Overall: Would I come back? Probably not.
