Not going to lie, I didn’t know what to expect from Peruvian food. The food was mediocre at best. I had a steak with an over easy egg on top with rice. It was “traditional” Peruvian food but I couldn’t have spent less money and ordered the same thing from a diner for $9. Cleanliness was lacking and the waiter seemed unsure of what we were ordering. The fish is easily identifiable as pre packaged and then fried. I wasn’t impressed enough to go back again.

Our waiter was attentive and friendly and checked on us numerous times. I thought the food was better than other Peruvian restaurants in Utah that I’ve been too. Had a group of 8 and our food was brought fairly quickly. Prices were a bit on the pricy side.

Don’t let the outside looks deceive you. This is a local gem of a restaurant. The outside is a bit rough but inside it is clean and comfortable and the service is charming. It is packed with Peruvians and they introduce themselves in Spanish. Thats got to mean something. The locals eat here. They serve puffed corn when you sit down and the mayo is amazing. The food is cooked to order so it comes out as it is prepared. The ingredients are fresh. Try the purple corn drink. Yum.

Pleasantly surprised with the variety of food they have to offer. Just a little outside of Salt Lake City. Worth the drive. Food tasted delicious and felt good to the stomach. Never had most of what is on their menu, which is why i think i really liked this spot. You get a free snack (not chips) when you arrive. Fast and kind service.

Easily the best Peruvian food I’ve had. They dial in layers of taste with each dish we’ve had making me wish I had an extra stomach. So good. We drive from Orem just to eat there.

It was my first time trying Peruvian food and it did NOT disappoint! We got the tacu tacu con seco de carne and pollo con arroz and they were both delicious! A bit heavy on the salt, which we weren’t salty about but some might be. The chicha morado was also such a delicious drink. And we loved the cancha and sauces served at the beginning. Just overall loved it all, great experience
