Wonderful Peruvian food, the lomo saltado that I ate was delicious with the typical Peruvian flavor. The service was also friendly and courteous. Wonderful atmosphere, and generous portions. I definitely recommend it!

Amazing and affordable authentic Peruvian food in Montclair. Very large portions for the price. Chicken and beans were very flavorful and the fries were perfectly crunchy. I lived in Peru for 3 months and this is as close as you will get to authentic Peruvian food in NJ. Will definitely be coming back!

This place is a hidden gem in Montclair. Food is amazing. If you wanna eat delicious Peruvian food this is the place. I have been coming to this place maybe 10th time in a year so far. I also want to say, the gentlemen who works there (his name is Jose) such a nice, friendly and smiling person, he makes you always welcomed. And his positive energy literally spreads to other people including myself! Plus he is giving you the best service possible and he is better than a fine dining server. Good place, good people. Good job !
