    First off, I would like to say that our server Fran was not only very attentive, but she was very thorough describing the food. She was also very patient with us individually to help us make our selections. We started with the Empanada De Tamalito which were outstanding. The entrée choices were Churrasco Escabechado, the steak was very tender much to my liking and the plantains really outstanding. We ordered four servings of Lomo Saltado and boy am I telling you my friends swore this was the best meal they have ever had. I can’t wait to eat my leftovers, I wanted so bad to eat the rest when I returned home but I was stuffed. Last but not least the dessert was chart topping, I don’t remember the name but ice cream was served with it. It is a must have. Overall for my friends it was their first experience at a Peruvian restaurant and they scored it a 10.
