About this business

The interior of this trendy tapas place exudes the golden glow of a South American sunset. The food inspires a similar warm glow. Beneath the impressive brass chandelier, you will find empanadas, plates of different kinds of olives with complementary flavors, and ceviche among the many selections that change daily. There's also a Sunday brunch menu to satiate your morning hunger pangs after a long Saturday night. The crowd is youngish but chill and the atmosphere is unhurried. All the better to linger over a few more tiny pl... read more

One of my worst restaurant experiences ever – Seriously - how does this place stay in business? To begin with, the food is only so-so. But my experience - after being forgotten about a couple of times, the night gets topped off with the bus-boy knocking a tall candle off the table next to us and get wax all over my pants and new my new shoes. He looks completely amazed and then scurries away. No one came back to the table for 10 minutes!! Being as nice as I could at this point, I have the waitress get the manager. His only c... read more

Perfect on a Saturday night – Recently celebrated my bday here with some buddies. Totally accomodating for a party of 12 or larger. The food was delicious, i recommend the fixed price menu to get your samples in. Chile Relleno, Lomo Saltado and Churros with a Chocolate dipping sauce...um, yumm! They were so cool and the service was perfect! I want to go back today!

Worth visiting twice! – I rarely visit SF restaurants more than once simply because there's an abundance of new places to try, but this is one worth a repeat visit! Service was professional, efficient, and we never felt rushed even though my friend and I were there for more than 3 hours. Great selection of small and large plates - the empanadas were very satisfying as was the yellowtail ceviche! We also had the pork chops with mashed sweet potatoes, which were good, but nothing special. Many around us ordered the lomo saltad... read more

Go for the ceviche – All of the dishes we ordered were delicious. For the 2 of us we got 3 small plates & 1 big plate & shared everything. The ?A La Mexicana? ceviche was one of the best I?ve ever had ? very fresh tasting! (Their ceviche is served with only 2 plantain chips so be sure to order a side of the chips if you want to eat the ceviche with something crunchy.) The cornmeal biscuits with melted cheese (Arepas de Queso) melted in my mouth & the Peruvian Chicken Empanadas were extremely flavorful. The Lomo Saltado was a... read more

Good Service and place – They are friendly. Good service and nice place. I went there with my girlfriend and she loved the place, really nice. We ate "ceviche a la peruana". It was not real peruvian ceviche because it needs more taste. We prefer others peruvians restaurants. "Anticucho", it was bad, don't try that. However, "Churrasco", it was really good and "Aji de Gallina", also. Finally, about the price, it is not expensive or inexpensive.

Best Peruvian food in the city! – "What can I say... This place rocks! I've been there a handful of times the last few months and EVERY time the meal and service was outstanding. All the plates that I've tried were amazing. It's best to go in a big group so you can sample as many of them as possible. If you like Mojito's you're in for a treat. And the wine selection isn't anything to scoff at either. I was here for my birthday and the group I was with decided to go with the desert wine pairings with desert and they were deli... read more

Rude Matire'd, Slow Service, Mediocre Food- Overhyped – I always try to give a restaurant a second chance...and a third. And now, I'm going to have to review it. Let's start with the poor service- the matire'd was incredibly rude (i.e. we walked in, were told we could return in an hour for a table and as we turned to leave, a customer at the bar offered up his seat, at which point the maitre'd stepped in and said, "No, they can't have your seat," before we had a chance to say, "Thank you, but we were leaving." **We've made r... read more

Best Latin/Small Plates/Service – This place is truly amazing. The menu is fresh and always changing. The Service is always friendly and they go above and beyond. Food is simply amazing!

Stuffed for $50 bucks – 2 couples had one cocktail each, shared a bottle of wine, lots of small plates and sides, one shared large plate, 3 desserts, and the total with tip came to $50/per person -- great deal! Good food and fun with a small group. Dishes came out slowly, but I would have minded more if they had been delivered all at once. So if you can be patient and enjoy the pacing, you'll have a nice meal. I've been here twice and enjoyed it both times. I would definitely go back. I might skip the desserts next time -- t... read more
