We had the most phenomenal dining experience. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by the friendly hostess and staff! We were promptly seated at a lovely table that gave us the perfect mix of outside entertainment and under roof vibes! Our server was exceptional! He was very attentive, engaging and friendly. Our food arrived looking just as tantalizing and delicious as the online photos! I can see why this restaurant won Diners Choice of 2024! It’s the perfect blend of Peruvian, Mexican and Mediterranean contemporary inspired delights. For starters we had El Alma guacamole and Tiradito de Mariscos en aquachile de Mango. Yum! Our cocktails of choice were the Vuela, Vuela and Almarita! More Yum! For our entrees we dined on the Salmon salad and Risotto de Camarones. The entire night was perfection. We will be back and bring our friends!
