Amazing Lomo Soltado and Camerones De ajillo
Visited in april 2024
First, there was no Inca Kola! That was a bummer. We ordered the Jalea de Mariscos, Chicharron de pescado and the Pan con Chicharron. The Jalea only had 3, yes that's right, 3 pieces of shrimp. There were three of us so we got one piece each. The fried fish in both the Jalea and Chicharron de pescado was dull and flavorless. Thank goodness for the dipping sauce for it was flavorful. The pan con Chicharron was dull and boring and was very light in the pork serving! The Salsa Criolla that is put on the Jalea and the pan con Chicharron should be bursting with flavor, but it was quite the opposite. I am not sure that the Chef is versed in Peruvian cuisine. Finally, my wife was sick the rest of the day by throwing up and being very weak. We think it was some kind of food poisoning. She had to go to bed and called out from work the next day! I have eaten at the old El Toro Loco down the block and the food was so delicious there!! Will not be going back.

Stopped here after taking the dog for a swim at the Rex Center. Grabbed one of the few outdoor tables. Food was awesome and fresh. Hubby had the super burrito carnita. I had the fried fish app with the yuca app. Yummy! Well fried, nice and hot. Perfect actually. Sauces were awesome. Had 1/2 pitcher Sangria. That too was just what we needed. Super casual eats.

If you are looking for true Peruvian food this isn’t your place. The food was ok at best but the amount of MSG in it gave our entire family headaches for the rest of the day. Maybe the Mexican side of the menu is better. Service was good.

We loved the fish ceviche and the lomo saltado the best, but all the food was very good. Our server (young lady with blond hair) was super nice, made us feel welcome since we first came in, we sat outside since we had our precious dog with us, she kept checking in with us to make sure everything was good all the time. Great customer service, food quality and price. Will be definitely coming back when we are back in Pacifica.

First time having Peruvian food, and it was out of this world. The owners were super friendly and solicitous.

Went after strolling the FogFest, so it was super busy. Service was slow, but it was understandable. The food was good. Didn't have anything fancy; shared a cheese quesadilla and had a shrimp taco (that was super yum!). Also had a glass of Sangria which I enjoyed. I would definitely go back again when it's not so busy! But happy to see the local businesses doing so well from the FogFest, which was sunny by the way! ????????

Food was excellent but plating and service were terrible. There is no host stand and despite standing directly in front of the cash register and asking for a table, we were ignored, to the point that they actually began to seat another table ahead of us. It’s a small restaurant, we were 5 people, the waitstaff literally had to squeeze in between us, yet the host BLAMED US for not making our presence known. Not sure what exactly he was expecting, other than telling us our name was supposed to magically appear on the slip of paper in his shirt pocket, without anyone talking to us.
We were seated right in front of the bathroom. We had to ask twice for water, which took 10 minutes to arrive and was never refilled.
Yucca fries were good but came out cold.
Ceviche, chicharrones pescados, chicken quesadillas, all excellent. Empanadas were just okay.

Awesome little place! House made sangria comes in pint glasses! I don't think you need to hear anymore but outside of that my husband and I both had burritos which were great. The house salsa is delicious. And we got a free sample from our very friendly host of the clam chowder. So good! Would definitely recommend

Ordered the chicken empanadas, which were good. The beef loma soltado was not tasty and had an awful sauce flavor. The fried yucca was not crunchy. The shrimp soup was marginal. The waiter was on the phone a lot. I will not return.
