Review: Great food, unfortunately... The cashier is the rudest, most ignorant person ever! The owner should read our comments and train that lady a little bit about manners and how to treat customers.

Review: The food has always been great. The service is horrible. The person answering the phone to take orders puts you on hold for about fifteen minutes. I waited 2 hours to get my delivery and when I called back to say that I had waited too long and didn't want the food anymore the cashier said that now she would have to pay for it and that it was her mistake for taking the order. Very rude!

Review: Food is awesome; tastiest rotisseie chicken and sauteed beef in Miami, at the lowest price. Other main Peruvian specialties are very tasty as well. The place is always packed, sometimes there's a wait for tables. There's no decor and the restaurant is somewhat warm (due to proxmity to grill). They could definitely improve the surroundings and decor, but best value and taste for Peruvian food in Miami!

Review: Decor is not that great but the food is amazing. I would have to agree their speciality is pollo a las brasas. Great take-out place and a quick eating place. I don't suggest it for the decor; it has tables and chairs but no special treatments.

Review:This restaurant serves home cooked Peruvian food. They specialize in "pollo a la brasa" (rotisserie chicken). They also have a wide array of Peruvian food that includes seafood dishes. On Sundays it is packed with families having lunch. Best of all, they have very reasonable prices.

Review: I only tried their french fries which in all fairness were very good. I didn't try the food because after being treated very rudely, my family and I decided to leave our meal there (paid in full) because we realized we would not be served properly.

Review: The food is great but the service is terrible. This is the rudest restaurant in town. Even my friends agree.

Review: The place is a hole in the wall and it's usually crowded, but there is no place to have chicken like here. It is the best Peruvian rotisserie chicken in Miami. What's even more unbelievable are the prices and portions! At this place you get your food and you serve yourself. Don't expect a waiter or anyone to be of help. They don't go out of their way to be rude, they're just not the friendliest. The food is absolutely delicious and to me that's the priority.

Review: The food is very good and fresh but the staff is very rude and stingy with the tartar, huancaina, and green hot sauces. Overall, the place is very disorganized and it appears that they have too much staff and they are all bumping into each other and stressed out.
