This joint is serving up real ingredients prepared like that Peruvian uncle I never had. I was impressed by the actual hand cut yucca vs some other joints precut yucca. That green sauce is obviously made in house and done right. The...Read More

Divey restaurant with unfriendly service and subpar food. Not many gluten free options. We all ordered the rotisserie chicken and would NOT recommend it. It was greasy and lacked flavor.
