We visited this restaurant with a group of friends and once we had a few dishes we were immediately brought back to when we visited Machu Picchu. It was a real feel of authentic Peruvian cuisine that was just as good as when we were...in South America. A must try if your taste buds enjoy international culinary arts.More

Authentic Peruvian cuisine,they use their own ingredients and recipes . Grilled chicken is their speciality , we opted for a take away instead of dine in ,considering the covid again. Empanada,their homemade beef turnovers are good too.

I liked the food, its rare to have Peruvian food in the US. However, it was a little pricey. I would still give it a try to see if its for you! Our dish was tasty and great for those who want to try peruvian...food but new exotic tastes!More

If you are looking for authentic peruvian food, I don't recommend this place. It was very good when it started but in the last 3 years, we haven't had good experiences. Either with taste or size of portions. Lately, they have been including 18% tip...in the bill and the staff claimed (when asked why) it's restaurant's policy to include the tip. Even if the restaurant is empty,they will include it. There are 3 other places now in Massachusetts to enjoy peruvian food. This place looks like got greedy and don't care about the quality of the food.More

Great drink- worth the trip. The Aguadito de Pollo- chicken soup with cilantro was very good as was the beef steak. Will visit again.

We shared a bunch of different apps, some of which were very good, others just okay. The pisco sours, however, were delicious and went down easy.

At the beginning get impressed with decorations, so cute. I got parihuela soup (seafood) pisco sour drink, really good flavors, the corn and green sauce love it, I got yucca fruits by appetizers, was good. Definitely go back again, and the price is not bad.

The food is good. Fish in ceviche could be more fresh. Drinks could be sweeter. Servers are great. Facilities are clean and very well maintained

My wife and I shared a wonderful seafood ceviche, with superb pisco sours, both as authentic as any on our long recent trip through Peru. The sliced steak was so-so without the verve of comparable dishes in Cusco. Doing it over again, think we’d stick...to a big ceviche apiece and the drinks, or two, which would make for a nice meal. Separately, the atmosphere was spacious and pleasant, with a nice, large backlit photo of the namesake site by the bar:More

While Peru is an ancient culture, there are not a lot of Peruvian restaurants in New England. We really enjoyed celebrating a graduation here - very special cocktails, lots of attention to detail, especially with the different spices.

We went there for Sunday lunch and it was a very relaxing and friendly atmosphere. We have never had Peruvian food. The mixed ceviche was absolutely fabulous with all kinds of seafood including calamari and octopus. The lime cilantro dressing was exquisite. The presentation of...the Pollo Chan Chan was unique though the chicken was not particularly tasty. However, the spinach mash was very flavorful. The flan was good, but not very creamy or sweet-not sure what is supposed to be. The prices are not low. Overall, it was a very delightful experience.More

The highlight of the evening was the singer/guitar player. The food was terrible. The salad looked like the fixings for a taco with shredded lettuce and a couple of avocado slices. No value for $10.00. The ceviche was fishy smelling (not good) and had entirely...too much lemon. Chicken dish had been frozen and was bone dry and tough. Wait-staff was hanging around the bar talking loudly. It was close to impossible to get their attention. It would have been nice if they scanned our table every ten minutes or so; filled our water glasses taken away finished plates. If you must have Peruvian food, try Machu Chicken across the street.More
