From the moment I stepped into the warm and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant, I knew I was in for a treat. The vibrant decor, with its colorful textiles and traditional Peruvian art, set the stage for an authentic culinary journey.The menu was a delightful showcase of Peru's rich culinary heritage, with an array of dishes that promised to tantalize my taste buds. I started with the classic ceviche, a perfect blend of fresh, citrus-marinated fish, onions, and sweet potato. The flavors were bright and refreshing, with just the right amount of kick from the aji peppers.For my main course, I opted for the Lomo Saltado, a stir-fry dish that beautifully marries Peruvian and Asian influences. The tender strips of beef were flawlessly cooked and seasoned, mingling with onions, tomatoes, and crispy french fries, all tossed in a savory soy sauce-based sauce. Served with a side of fluffy white rice, it was a symphony of flavors and textures.No meal at this restaurant would be complete without trying their Pisco Sour, Peru's national cocktail. It was expertly crafted, with the perfect balance of Pisco, lime, egg white, and bitters, resulting in a frothy and refreshing drink that complemented my meal beautifully.The service throughout the evening was impeccable. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, offering recommendations and insights into the dishes and their preparation. Their passion for Peruvian cuisine was evident, adding an extra layer of enjoyment to the dining experience.As I savored a creamy and indulgent Suspiro a la Limeña for dessert, I couldn't help but feel grateful for the culinary journey I had just experienced. This restaurant is more than just a place to eat; it's a celebration of Peruvian culture, tradition, and flavors. I left with a full stomach, a happy heart, and a newfound appreciation for the rich culinary heritage of Peru. I can't wait to return and explore more of their delicious offerings.

I have tried several Peruvian restaurants in Chicago and this one is by far the best! We ordered the Ceviche, Lomo Saltado, and Aji de Gallina and everything was delicious. Our server, Araceli was also fantastic and provided great service!

A one of a kind restaurant in the Chicagoland area. Break away from the normal restaurants that you go to and take a trip to another part of the world without having to travel far. Service was out of this world, attentive to our table at all times. Food was delivered quickly after ordering appetizers and main courses. Each dish was out of this world and had a variety of flavor combinations. Dessert was one of a kind and a phenomenal way to wrap up the meal. I highly recommend coming here for dinner, whether it's date night with that special someone, going out with some friends or a family outing. I'll be back!!!

Nice place not a wow. Food was good, served quickly. Latin music over the speakers, asked to be turned down. It was right off of I-94 as it turns east toward Chicago. Traffic was busy, so we ate and had better traffic after. Parking: parked right in front
