About

This spot is a total mixed bag. While many locals swear by the authentic Peruvian flavors and generous portions, the service is often a headache. Customers frequently complain about hidden gratuity charges and rude staff. It seems like a hit-or-miss experience depending on who is working that day. If you go, keep an eye on your bill.
