Comida maravillosa y rica....completamente autentica Perucha!
The lomo saltado melts in your mouth. Bebida? Have a delish and truly special Pisco Sour on the side.
Want to just pop in for a refresher? The mango batida is freshly made, thick, creamy, and filling.
For those who know the South American cuisine well: anticuchos de corazon well brazed and tender, fresh rice, and papas con salsa amarilla will take you back to that time in the Peace Corps or Huanchaco surf trip.
Juliana taking your order is helpful, efficient, and very knowledgeable to assist your culinary desires here.

We have beed twice to this hidden jewel, and I must say… OH BOY! Pisco Sour was OUTSTANDING! Papa a la Huancaina, Choripan, Aji de Gallina y el Arroz con Mariscos 🦐 all were BANGING 💥. Helado de Lucuma for desert is a MUST. On this road trip we have been to a few Peruvian eateries between NY, NJ and DC and this place is at the top! The eatery is small with a couple of long high tables but outside sitting can accommodate four tables of four. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed the food here although it’s slightly not very authentic (e.g., they didn’t use the Peruvian style fries in the lomo saltado). The alfajores was nice but could be a bit more buttery in the cookie part. Overall, the food was delicious but a bit pricey for a small restaurant.

OMG THE BEST LOMO SALTADO IN THE DMV AREA!!! I’m Peruvian so I know what I’m talking about ;)
The aji de gallina rolls are super tasty too.
The customer service is also amazing!! They're super friendly and attentive.
Try the aguaymanto sour if you want something strong :P
Highly recommend this place!!!!

Best Ceviche 🙌🏼 By far, the lady that took our order was super attentive. I will definitely stop by when I’m in the area, my grandma fell in love with the Peruvian tamales. The decor is really creative.l and the food delicious, the seating not so kid friendly but besides that my experience there was amazing

Great little shop serving up some unique and tasty Peruvian food. Got the pork sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries, as well as a pork tamale. Good service and reasonable prices. Definitely a great option for lunch or an early dinner.
