Most Disliked
Some diners mention the language barrier as a slight challenge, as not all staff members are fluent in English. While it adds to the restaurant's authentic vibe, it can lead to miscommunication on orders. A few customers have expressed that the simplicity of the decor lacks flair, preferring a more vibrant atmosphere to match the bold flavors of the food. Occasionally, service may slow down during peak hours, leading to longer wait times, especially on busy weekends. While the affordable price range is appealing, some note that portion sizes could be a tad larger for hearty appetites, leaving them craving just a bit more.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I've been visiting this Peruvian restaurant for years, and it never disappoints. It’s truly one of the best I’ve had in a long time. We ordered the lomo, and it was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and just melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The staff is always polite, friendly, and welcoming, making the whole dining experience even better. Highly recommend this place if you're in Paterson—it's a must-visit! Plus, it's conveniently close to the Great Falls, so perfect for a meal after exploring the area. I’m giving it five stars without hesitation!

We stopped in to see the Paterson Falls and this little corner restaurant caught our eye. The meals were delicious and unique to our American food styled taste buds! Not a lot of English is spoken in this quaint Peruvian restaurant, but it's worth the trip.

I wanted the authenticity and this is the place you get it. Not in a position to judge peruvian cuisine, but for the first timer tastes good. Specially the desert.

I was looking for something quick to eat for breakfast, and I came here based on the Google reviews. I opted for the Causa Rellena. It was fresh, delicious, and tasty, and flavors were spot on. There are a lot of other interesting dishes on the menu, and I would definitely come back.
