Nice peruvian restaurant with some great options, hearty portions, and nice low-key vibe. A little gem in the industrial area near some truck depots and the Encore. Parking here is tight but free. Inside is small but cozy. The walls are decked out in cultural fare, TV is on repeat for some great Peruvian/South American shows and music videos. A little grimey in a good way. The service here is on pointe. They're very attentive, making sure everything is okay, eager to offer help and opinions on the menu. Food came out quickly. They were very accommodating and helpful for our young kids. The food was excellent. The lomo saltado was awesome as was the aji de gallina. We loved the trio criollo was the best order. We ordered way too much but had to try everything. It felt like I was back in Peru. The chinese Peruvian food is pretty cool and touted as the only restaurant to have their combined cultural cuisine. The prices were a little higher than I expected but the quality was worth it along with the service.

The food was great as always. Took the chance to come on a weekend but feared it would be too busy, but it wasn't. Was able to get a table right away. They have great music playing with some lights that shift in color. I could see they had many orders from online and over the phone, so my wife's food took a little longer, but it was worth the wait. We knew on the way here that there might be a small wait. Highly recommend as always.

Vibe is amazing, price is amazing, service is amazing. The food is to die for. Not where I would bring a picky eater, but if you are willing to try something different, this is a great place to go. Dinning room is clean, no wobbly tables and the cutlery is pristine. Homemade hot sauce is actually hot. And delicious. You can really tell that everybody on the staff tries really hard to make this place work and they're doing a great job!

My daughter recently recommended this spot, so when we visited, this was our first choice for a late lunch. It's not a huge place, and it's right on the edge of an industrial area, but don't let that stop you from eating here! We had a fabulous meal! Started with tasty fried yucca (piping hot) and guacamole. My partner had the tallarin, which she really enjoyed! I had the Seco de Res, which was super tasty. My daughter had the Lomo Saltado with pesto linguine - perfect mash up of Peruvian and Italian dishes! The staff was very attentive, served us quickly, and were very engaged. We'll definitely be back!

I can't speak on authenticity, but the food was incredible. I came with a couple friends and we shared a bit of each other's food. I will say, the The space it self is small and homey with around 3-4 tables that can seat up to 5-ish people. The service is great, just a little slower than what I'm personally used to at other restaurants (45min to get food after ordering). I highly recommend eating here, but don't come expecting a quick-bite. Pros: - The seco de res, lomo saltado and aji de gallina were really flavorful. The meats were tender and the beef easily fell off the bone. Spotlight for the peruvian beans, the texture and salt-level was perfect for my personal preferences. - Incredibly friendly service - Warm space to chat and joke with friends - Great value in terms of portion size and ingredient quality - My first time trying chica morada -- I generally don't like things that are overly sweet, but this was perfect and I loved the taste of the spices. Wasn't overdone. Cons: - Limited parking - Would have preferred to have some sauce for the fried fish, it felt a little underseasoned otherwise. Taste/texture fatigue set in for my friend half-way through. (Great portion of fish tho)

AMAZING Peruvian Restaurant in Charlestown, MA. Food was super authentic, both in flavors and in preparation. The Papas A La Huancaina and the Anticuchos were absolutely PERFECT appetizers. The ceviche and the chicharron de pescado were amazing main dishes to share. The staff was lovely, the Latin music playing added to the authenticity of the place. There are beautiful pictures on the wall that are clearly important to the owners and likely from their home. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for authentic Peruvian flavors!

Came here for dinner on a Friday night. This place is a hidden gem in Somerville, right at Sullivan station. We had reservations since a lot of the reviews mentioned the space is small. Inside it's cozy and has about 5-6 tables. The interior and decor is on point. Their menu has a lot of options and specials and if you're a vegetarian, do not hesitate to ask them for veggie options (they have many!). I got the Lomo Saltado and my friend got a rice Nd bean dish. Both tasted amazing, the flavours and spices hit the spot.
