The truth is the place is a bit overpriced. However the food isn't bad at all and the service is very friendly. My friend got the Camlu Wonton and it looked amazing. I had the tortilla de camarones and it hit the spot as well.

One of the best Peruvian restaurants in the state! Grew up coming here for dinner all the time! My father was a musician and would do gigs here on the weekends. It’s sad that they have closed down… they will be missed!
