| - I'm really impressed with this place: delicious food at an affordable price. Don't go for the atmosphere, but it's great for take-out. I'm from Peru so I'm biased toward that part of the menu, but I've gone back again and again, so I've tried quite a bit.
My favorite of the sanguches is the chicharrón, but the Peruvian sautée is also very good, as well as the Colombian rellenito if you like morcilla (like blood sausage).
From the chicken chops, I've only tried the Peruvian. The serving was large for the price, and the chicken was much tastier than I expected, while the rice was good, but not really special.
The arepas are quite good, and specially so when dipped in the huacatay sauce, which I can't stop putting on everything. The other sides I've tried (papa rellena, tamale, fried sweet potatoes) have been nice, but not outstanding.
Out of the desserts, I think I've only tried the lúcuma mousse, which is really good on its own or as the end of a more than satisfying meal. From the drinks, I suggest the chicha morada.
Overall, it tastes very authentic and I hope it catches on, because it's already one of my favorites. Not a fancy place at all, but the food is really great if you know what to order.
