Horrible service, many things that were ordered didn’t come yet appeared on the bill; we were argued with upon asking for those items to be removed from the bill

Íbamos a celebrar el cumpleaños de mi esposo y éramos 7 personas, cuando llegamos al restaurante querían sentarnos a 7 persona en 2 mesitas pequeñas que regularmente entran 2 personas por mesa, no me pareció que a 7 personas nos sentaran en esa mesa tan pequeña, tuve que quejarme y me dijeron que esperara 10 minutos y la espera en realidad fue de 20 minutos y me dieron las mismas mesas intentamos sentarnos pero realmente no podíamos ni movernos para comer.Luego un mesero muy amable nos dio otra mesa mas y por fin después de 1 hora pudimos sentarnos a gusto. La atención fue tan mala, ordenamos polli papá, lomo saltado y estuvimos esperando otros 45 minutos más y sin consultarnos nos trajeron camote en vez de papá, mi esposo es alérgico al camote y no podía comer polli camote, realmente pasamos una noche terrible, mi esposo no pude comer lo que él quería, al ver la orden que le trajeron solo decidió comer el pollo.

We were in town for a short trip and needed a place that served dinner at 4:00. First of all, they told us we were at the wrong restaurant - I’m thinking that they didn’t want to serve a large party. But then, I find out that they had an entire downstairs open. The server was very helpful in explaining the Peruvian menu. The food was excellent. Looked like a lot of local diners there on a Sunday night. The neighborhood looked a bit sketchy, but was much nicer a few blocks away. I would consider coming back - to try other items on the menu.

I enjoyed the Limon Punch and the shrimp with potatoes. But the noise level was deafening and really negatively impacted our experience. We couldn’t wait to leave.
