“ Divine food, spectacular staff. Truly a gem within the greater Alexandria area. They are a Peruvian chicken spot with spaghetti, do you know how rare that is??! Plus they have papusas ”
“ idk how long they been in the business, but I just found this spot and since I love Peruvian chicken that's what I ordered, but definitely I'm coming back soon to try something else from their menu(everything looks yumi), be aware it's kind of hidden in that strip, but to have a reference is next to jerry's. ”
“ Again on my peruvian hunt for gastro-yummies! Their beef stew was delicious. Highly recommended ”
“ I love the dishes here, chicken always has great flavor, and if you're lucky you may get a bigger chicken than usual, which is what happened to me last time, nonetheless the food is always great, but the sauces need some refrigeration, they sometimes are already spoiling, especially the green sauce. I love the yucca, the platanos, and the curtido for the pupusas, they could do this as a side dish, and many people prefer this to the salad options. ”
“ I had surgery yesterday and it went way over. When I came to i begged my girlfriend to get me your chicken and cheese. She came in right before closing and i think some people were disgruntled but we still got our food, thank you from the bottom of my heart for still serving us and sorry if it was inconvenient. This is one of my favorites (i used to work in reston and go to that one every week) ”
“ Amazing chicken, yucca, and plantains. Service was fast and excellent. The experience was fantastic. I highly recommend this place. ”
“ I stopped here while traveling. The food was much better than I expected. Delicioso! I really enjoyed the flavor of the chicken, green beans, and potato salad. ”
“ Wide variety of Central American foods on the menu. Not just Peruvian chicken. Love that they serve chicken and beef soups. They are so pretty - a great alternative to Vietnamese pho - and a popular menu item. Passion fruit drink was yummy and not too sweet. Will try cashew fruit drink next (maranon). ”
