| - Eh. I've had better Peruvian.
Came here tonight with fellow yelpers. We were like, "ooh, a Peruvian place!!" and had heard it was good...so off we went to the east side to pay a visit.
We arrived at 8pm tonight (Wednesday), and it was completely empty. Utterly empty. I mean, it's a weird location, but still.....??
And surprisingly, for being the only ones in the restaurant are service was REALLY slow. I mean, c'mon, we were the ONLY PEOPLE! The waitress kept disappearing on us, even in the middle of me asking, "what do you recommend?" Bah.
I've had good Peruvian food in SF and DC, so I was a tad disappointed in this place. We ordered the chaufa peruano (essentially, Chinese fried rice, but much drier), the ceviche peruano, and the classic pollo a la brasa (which, the chicken was also dry too).
The yellow sauce was pretty good that came with it, but I just thought overall, the meats were too dry, and it just wasn't the flavorful, moist food I was used to tasting. The ceviche itself was okay too, bu I didn't think it was that great. I've definitely have had much better in bigger cities.
My friend did get the purple corn drink which was good though.
Would I come back? Yeah, probably so, because I think we went on an off night, and I would be interested in seeing their salsa night weekends. But for now? I've definitely have had better.
