I went here with my friend after church yesterday for my first time. She had been there a lot and repeatedly said how much she loves the food and the owner! This food was so so so so good…I bought fried rice and empanadas and fell in love then asked for another plate to go just so I can have food for the next day. Please eat here. She so kind. 1000% best food I’ve had in a while! (The food my friend had is the second dish I bought….EVERYTHING I ATE WAS A 10/10! and the owner was so kind and hospitable)

Great tasting sweets and more, nice look inside and friendly owners. The empanadas are amazing and special orders are highly recommended ahead of time specially for big parties. I had 10 boxes mix goodies to distribute around my new neighborhood. Everyone loved it!!! Specially the Alfajores ( sugar cookies) and the Pionono (rolled up cake with caramel condensed milk). Very good!

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect birthday cake and sweet table for our celebration! The cake was not only beautifully decorated but also absolutely delicious. Every detail was crafted with such care, making it the centerpiece of our party. As for the sweet table, it was a huge hit! Every item was as delightful to look at as it was to eat—guests were raving about the flavors and presentation. You made our event unforgettable with your talent and attention to detail. Thank you so much for making our special day even sweeter!

If you get the empanadas take the yellow sauce and try it. It really takes it up to 5 star level. I also got a box of cookies. So far the ones I've tried were delicious. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes! For a small town often overshadowed by its bigger neighbor, this place could be the "must stop" eating spot that the bigger city next door doesn't have because they prefer commercialized over priced menus. Personally, I prefer the reasonably priced authentic dishes this place serves.

My wife and I drive an hour here every Saturday to enjoy their Ceviche (Mahi mahi and not tilapia ).I’m a Bay Area native and I’m very picky when it comes Peruvian food. The only other Peruvian restaurant that would rival this are from downtown. Get their ceviche, limo saltado spaghetti and empanadas (beef) and share it to save some money. Peruvian food can be expensive, but if you know what to order, it can be very affordable.

This place is amazing! When I walked in the beautiful decoration filled the place and the music was good as-well . The service was good as-well everyone was very polite, the food was great! The pork sandwich was very juicy and was a pleasure to eat and the passion fruit juice was sweet and refreshing. I got an Oreo cake and it was delicious I definitely recommend! Overall this place was amazing like I said before I definitely recommend this place to everyone for some delicious foods, desserts and drinks.

The tamales, empanadas, and chocolate chip cookies are great! Love that most things are nut free as my son is highly allergic. I never write reviews, but the food, the cleanliness, and the owner who does everything on her own deserves it.
