Amazing service, food, and drinks. We went on a Friday night and had a great time. Hats off to the bartender 😁. Only downside is, I wish they had a little more vegetarian options for meals. Ex - one vegetarian entree versus the seven or so that have meat. My friend had a steak and she loved it. I enjoyed my meal as well.

Fantastic restaurant located in a great location. All the dishes our party ordered were excellent. The food came at a reasonable time and the presentation was very nice. Drinks were on point, great balanced cocktails, and unique beer selection as well. The trio ceviche was yummmy a great choice to kick off your dinner. The roasted chicken was great, well seasoned, and juicy. The pollo saltado had a great blend of flavors. To wrap up dinner, we sampled all the desert selection.. I must say the Panna Cotta was light and very flavorful while the chocolate bandido was a bit more heavy but jammed pack with delicious chocolate love
. Customer service was fantastic... very friendly, excellent knowledge of menu items, and always willing to provide service with a smile. A must try on you next outing. Enjoy!

Came in with a friend who utilizes an electric wheelchair.
Rudy (mgmt) not only accommodated us but actually moved patrons to another table to make things happen.
I've never seen this occur EVER.
once seated we were greeted with enthusiasm and amazing service.
The food we ordered was not only good... It was amazing!
Everything we tried including dessert was 5 star!!
The ambiance is loud but I'm a great way.
Tons of birthdays, the place was packed.
I can't recommend this restaurant any more than A MUST GO if you're in the area. AMAZING REPRESENTATION OF PERUVIAN CUISINE.
If you like great food, great service and an awesome place to hangout... This is it.

An authentic spot in downtown Walnut Creek with a unique and diverse menu.

The sangria pitcher is a must--huge, delicious, and easily serves six (maybe more).

The snapper in the ceviche rocoto was a standout, fresh and flavorful. The pork belly bites, however, lacked seasoning and were disappointingly tough. We tried the chicken skewers based on our server's recommendation but found them underwhelming.

Overall, a cool spot with some hits and misses. Would return for the ceviche and sangria!

Overall great dining experience.
Restaurant is small and packed with customers a little on the grounded l crowded side as you gotta dodge both customers, servers, and staff to get to the restroom. Tons of people with lots of energy. Come here if you're into the food experience less so if you're wanting a nice quiet dinner. (We were here for the food)

Drinks are will balance and very tasty. We had the ponche and lychee melon

Foods:

Limon ceviche: ceviche was amazing. Red snapper, shrimp, squid and calamari were fantastic. Bay scallops were on the salty side but tasted very fresh. Garnish and sides on the dish complemented nicely.

Pulpo: today was ok overall. Teleferic definitely does it better. Seasonings and flavor was good. But the execution of the octopus was a little off. It would seem like they took some pre boiled octopus from the fish market and slapped in on the grill for a few seconds. Grill flavor was fantastic but the texture was less pleasurable. Sides with the dish didn't really complement the octopus.

Lengua: nice tender delicate pieces of tongue. Phenomenally seasoned duty garnish to add a little flare and change of pallet. Mash potatoes really stood out. Flavor was very rich and robust. Not like a typical buttery mash, rather as of it was served with a side of roast beef with ajous. Makes me think they used a touch of roast beef tallow to make it.

Fried colliflower: tasted very good with the mayo complimenting the colliflower. Texture was perfect as well. It's fried so it better be good. This was the least exciting in terms of presentation but tasted good.

Seafood Piella: taste and presentation was phenomenal. So the seafood was perfectly cooked. Rice was well spiced and will seasoned. All elements of the dish balanced nicely. My only criticism would be that there were no crispy bits of Minard on the bottom of the rice against the pan. Mild complaint as it tastes fantastic.

The food here is delicious. The atmosphere is upbeat and crowded. We ordered the ceviche trios, rib eyes steak, seafood paella and the signature rotisserie chicken dishes. The food is amazing except the rotisserie chicken. It’s a bit dry and no flavor. The margaritas is great too. It’s a decent size without a lot of ice. Our waiter is Wilfredo. He is awesome.

This place is delicious. The fish was cooked to perfection, with a crispy skin and juicy, tender meat. The presentation was beautiful, with colorful vegetables arranged artfully on each plate.Also these are some of the best drinks in Walnut Creek .The service was impeccable, with our servers being attentive and knowledgeable about the menu.10/10

We dined in recently and it was our second time so decided to leave a review, as the experience was very great again. Over all the menu is seafood forward so if you’re a ceviche or shellfish fan you’ll be excited. We opted for Rico ceviche 🌶️ , the pork belly and mixed empanadas for apps. Every item was delicious and well portioned. My favorite was the ceviche and cheese empanada. We split a 1/4 chicken white meat as the apps were pretty filling. The chicken and fries came out hot, crispy and chicken had a nice blackened grilled skin. Drink menu changes regularly but we both opted for something different so we could taste test each other’s. Overall great place.

The food was exceptional! Will definitely return. Our waitress was a little rude. My friend is pregnant and asked about some mocktails. She assumed we should know the ingredients. She continued to answer other questions similar. Made me a little uncomfortable and feeling as though I don't belong there as this is a wealthy area.
Hopefully, my next visit, the service is better!

I ordered the beef and chicken Empanadas. The dough tasted terrible, and they did not seal the dough before they put it in the deep fryer. The meat in the Empanadas was not tasty. The french fries were soggy.
The yuca was not crunchy.

What terrible cooks they have at the restaurant. The food was overpriced. I will not return.

Brother's Chicken in Concord has much better Pervian food and at a lower cost.
