Top Restaurant Experience of My Life (not hyperbole!)
This place is authentic as it gets. I hadn't had Peruvian food since I was in Peru and everything was absolutely spot on, delicious down to the last alfajor. My meal was so good it brought tears to my eyes. And omg the service! The staff was so nice, the food was out quickly, the prices were so reasonable. Shout-out to Ivan, who made me feel like family while dining by myself at the bar. I asked if I could work there, and I was only half kidding.

Great Food!
This place has outstanding food. I had this potato appetizer, sweet plantains, a beef entree, and Inca Cola to drink and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

Hidden Peruvian Gem.
This is an absolutely amazing hidden gems. The service, food and the decor of the restaurant is first class. Kevin the owner was very attentive, friendly and kind to us during our dinner. The food is out of this world. Every dish we order was fresh, delicious and prepared wonderfully. Do not be put off that this restaurant is in a shopping plaza. Do yourself a favor and experience a food gastronomy of flavors and taste. Peruvian food is so underrated and complex. My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful time. This will be one of our regular restaurants from now. Cheers Nigel.

One of the best Peruvian restaurants
A mi familia y a mi nos encanta la comida peruana y sin duda tengo que decir que este es uno de los mejores restaurantes que hemos probado. Desde que entramos todos los empleados fueron muy amables con nosotros. La comida y bebidas estuvieron excelentes. Definitivamente volveríamos otra vez ❤️

Phenomenal!
This is hands down the BEST Peruvian/seafood restaurant in town! It is our go to restaurant when we are in the area. We have recommended to friends and it has become one of their favorites too! The staff is always friendly and professional and the food and red sangria will not disappoint!

Come grumpy - leave happy
We came with our grumpy friend, and the second we sat down his entire demeanor changed for the better. The food was excellent, the music slapped, the servers were attentive, and when I left my cc Kevin sprinted out to my car. We will be back.

No iba hace más de 5 años? Volvimos y la comida y porciones muy regulares. Pedi un chicharron de pollo y ha sido el peor que me he comido, no crocante, sabia a nuggets de pollo, sabor a grasa no a pollo.
Pedi también una jalea y tampoco nos convenció.
El servicio estuvo bien y la chica muy amable!

Great local Peruvian restaurant! They have a lot of authentic dishes as well as a mix of Peruvian fusion with some new flavors. We tried both and it exceeded our expectations. We greatly enjoyed the ambience inside as the restaurant was nicely put together and felt cozy. Perfect for a date night or evening out with family and friends. If you are looking for something new to try in Tampa, definitely check this place out!

One notable aspect of this establishment is its late opening hours. While our doctor's office appreciates the delectable food they offer, the timing poses a challenge as they open at noon, preventing us from placing orders earlier. Despite this limitation, the flavors they deliver are undeniably excellent.

Happy Fish absolutely never lets you down. Every dish I've tried is outstanding. Staff is attentive and they make sure your meal is right. Try the chaufa (fried rice) or churrasco, or literally anything else. It's all delicious.

I am a Peruvian dissent, however, sounds dishes were not authentic like my father will cook. Overall, the stuff is pleasant.

I really love this place when you eat in but every time I order to take out there is always an issue I drive from Riverview to Tampa to get it and this time I had my son go get it not only was the mix ceviche missing actual seafood like shrimp and fish they also didn't put shrimp in the chaufa seafood and on top they didn't even add the green sauce. Very disappointed in how they don't place as much attention to the take out as the dine in.

The food was delicious! We had mussels as an appetizer and they were brought out in a citrus sauce with tomatoes, onions, cilantro and different kinds of corn, so good! We also had the friend red snapper. OMG! It was the best fish I have eaten, and I have eaten many different kinds of fish. Crunchy, flavorful and cooked to perfection. There were many tantalizing dishes to choose from, and they all looked just as tasty as the next. The service was excellent. The owner even stopped by our table to check on our satisfaction. Definitely a restaurant to dine at anytime you're in Tampa!

When you drive up the restaurant is in a strip mall. The inside has a nice vibe, is very clean and has a room for parties as well.
The server helped pick a few dishes and they were excellent.
I would drfiniltey go back and try some of the other dishes. The fried yuca was on point, just wish they had a better dipping sauce to go with it.

Donuts with ice cream was the best

One thing about this place; they open late. As a doctor's office, we love their food but can never order from them because they open at noontime. Other than that, it's flavor is quite good.

Cute spot for tasty Peruvian food. I had the whole fried snapper, yuca fries, yellow rice and black beans. It was delicious. Count me in as a regular; the service was top-notch, and our waiter kept things on point. The cozy vibes inside made it a perfect spot for a chill dinner. Can't wait to go back!
