The owner actually showed me how to crack open the crab properly&mdash;never got that before at a restaurant. Seafood tasted super fresh. I had the cazuela de casa and it was hearty, perfect for a chilly evening. Place feels like you&#39;re eating at someone&#39;s home, in a good way.

The tasting menu of ceviches was the reason I came, and it didn&#39;t disappoint. Each one had a different citrus kick, which I appreciated. Pisco sours were strong and well mixed. Place feels upscale, service was attentive. Just know it&#39;s not cheap, you&#39;re paying for the whole experience. I&#39;d go back for a special occasion, but not for a casual Tuesday.

Came here on a regular Tuesday night. Place was packed, typical Italian taverna noise. Had the pasta, cooked right, al dente like it should be. Wine list is small but decent. Service was fine, nothing crazy. Just watch out, they add the service charge automatically. Didn&#39;t notice until I checked the bill. Not a big deal but good to know.

Been coming here for a while now, and the chicharrones are still the reason I keep going back. Crispy, not too greasy, and that home-cooked feel is consistent every time. Had some aguapanela with it today, which hit the spot. Place gets busy around lunch, but it&#39;s worth the wait. Just wish they had a bit more seating.

The lomo saltado was good but definitely on the salty side. Place itself was clean and chill though.

Went on a Wednesday for the wing deal&mdash;got 75 for six of us and honestly that was the move. They were crispy, saucy, exactly what you want. Staff even came by to sing for a birthday in our group. Place got a bit loud but it added to the vibe. Would go back just for those wings.

The guinea pig was absolutely delicious! It&#39;s definitely the highlight of the menu, and I appreciate the efficient service during my visit.

Used the app coupon so the price felt fair for what we got. Food was typical fast-food, nothing fancy but fine. The seating area was actually comfortable, which surprised me. I could sit and eat without feeling rushed. That alone makes me want to come back when I&#39;m in the area.

Decent burger spot near the airport. Patty was juicy, bun was fresh enough. Paid a bit more than I&#39;d usually like, but it worked fine before my flight. Nothing fancy, just a solid option if you&#39;re in the area.

The soup was really good, but man, this place gets packed. We waited forever just to get our order taken. Also, if you&#39;re veggie, it&#39;s basically mushrooms in different forms, gets old fast. The arequipe ice cream saved the meal though, super sweet and creamy.

The falafel and hummus were pretty good&mdash;flavors came through nicely. Presentation looked nice too, not overdone. They brought complimentary tea when I sat down, which was a decent touch. Place was a bit quiet for a weekend evening, but fine for a relaxed meal. I&rsquo;d say it&rsquo;s a solid spot if you&rsquo;re in the area.

This restaurant offers a stunning atmosphere with a beautiful view, making it a perfect spot for photos and special occasions.
