Her you can- Ethnic dine, with family, friends or solo for dinner and late night or grab a drink.Located in the Olney section of Philly, expect Peruvian classics along side traditional South American cuisine in this modest family friendly restaurant. The sangria is great and very traditional. Go for seafood over poultry. My ratings are based on a 5 star scale. Where 1 star is tragic and 5 star is Ouwww terrific! Overall ratings- 5 star ( because of the food specifically) Food taste- 5 stars! Very traditional taste.Food portions- 5 stars. Portions are pretty large. The sopa marisco is definitely enough for two people. Customer service- 5 star. Attentive & friendly. Cleanliness- 3. 5 starsDecor- 3 stars very understated but functional. Ambiance- 4 stars for what it is. A family restaurant.

Party of 11 was told we would be seated in 45minutes. After over 1.5 hours we had to ask how much longer we would wait. We were told we could be seated but at two separate tables, which we agreed to. We were seated and one chair was so close to another table that no one could get by, especially since this chair was placed in the path to the restrooms. We asked if there was anyway we would just get a different table nearby, one waitress insisted that this chair placement was our fault because we had more than 11 people (we miss counted a child and had 12 instead of 11). We had to ask for them to tune on the lights multiple times as when we were seat the lights were on but shut off (for some u known reason) and we couldn't read the menu. The servers were rude. One keep insisting that we ordered something that we didn't order. And when one person asked if their steak could be cooked more (because it was ice cold) the server came back to the table and asked "what's the problem now" (in Spanish). All the food (besides the ice cold steak) was lukewarm. When we told the waitress that the women's restroom was out of toilet paper, she rolled her eyes and walked away. Came back and said (to my husband who was sitting in a chair by the wall where they seated us) "I need you to move so I can get you more toilet paper". That was our first and last time there.

I like the ceviche here but everything else seems average. The service is ok but I think it's bc of language barrier.

Parking was not bad at all. Small place and slow service, but very friendly. Do not expect to have a quick meal here, but that is not a bad thing at all!! I had lunch with a friend who can eat and then some. Splitting the Paella Marinera left us both with a satisfied grin, stuffed bellies and an entire takeout container full of food. The flavors were amazing, the presentation was perfect Paella pan and all! I'll definitely return to this nice find!

This place is not bad... not amazing but a solid find.The good:- typical spanish establishment- lots of conversation and noise- drinks (try the passion fruit drink!!)- lot of optionsThe not so good:- one of my biggest issue was that although it is a spanish speaking establishment, hostess should try to make an effort for non-spanish speakers as it is a honor (for me at least) for someone to want to try your culture, food. 3 different server refused to speak in english (even though they knew i did not speak spanish). - bit of a regular only type of atmosphere (as in if you are not a regular, the red carpet for first timer is not offered)- food was just ok. Again, judging based on the cuisine (eg, peruvian) i was disappointed in the lack of spices and flavors used in classics. we drove 30 min to get here and probably made it worst since i was craving peruvian food. However if you never had amazing peruvian food, this would be rates as good (thus not giving lower rating)I would visit it again but with lower expectation and without my 3 year old!

For the past few years we've been on a Portuguese food kick, and last year we discovered a few Peruvian restaurants- so we were excited when a friend recommended this restaurant specializing in Portuguese & Peruvian food.We started off with a pitcher of red sangria- it was good & strong! The clams casino were fresh & stuffed with crab meat. We had the grilled chicken & shrimp with beans & rice and a seafood soup. Everything was really good. We'll definitely return and bring a few friends!

I use to love this place but the service is horrible! Bad service makes me loose my appetite. Never ordering at this place again. I rather stick with the one on castor ave. Way better service.
