This place is the real deal if you’re looking for excellent Peruvian. This goes for the appetizers, main dishes, and their drink menu. Michel was our server and he was super friendly, made great recommendations and luckily for us he took over the bar for a few minutes and made us pisco sours, which were the best we have had in any restaurant in Florida. We ordered the ceviche trio which features some of the best tasting ceviche on the menu. My girlfriend and I had a great experience and highly recommend this restaurant for quality food and delicious drinks. As a bonus, if you want the best experience ask for Michel to be your server, he’s the best!

I was spending a few days in MIA staying at a friend's in the area. The place is quite convenient and easy to get to. The setting is really nice and the service was really good. I had the "Lomo Salteado". At first I thought the portion was a bit small but it was a good size and it tasted really good. My suggestion is to sit inside. The outdoors is too warm during lunch. Maybe good for dinner

Better than the average strip mall restaurant. The ceviche classico was very fresh and flavorful with a good amount of fish. The two corvina entrees - one with peppers and onions and one more like a seafood stew were also very good. Eating outside despite it being a parking lot was pleasant.

Went here in early September. Excellent servixr from friendly staff. Food was excellent. I had flambe scallops (see photo) and then prawns with yellow pepper sauce. Both dishes were very good. Nice glass of spanish white wine. The only issue was a very loud guest on another table. Insure if he was drunk or just ignorant of others in his vicinity. However i would definitely go back here again.

Delicious Peruvian food in a relaxed, elegant atmosphere. We had the lomo Saltado and salmon mancora. It was the best food I’ve ever had in my entire life!! (From my 7 year old). There is a small kids menu and lemonade. Pisco sour was excellent.
