Wonderful people and great Peruvian food. Very good ceviche and we both had the vegiterian dishes. Very flavorful! Brought back memories of Peru. We plan to go back and make it a regular place for dining out when in town.
Reason for 5 Stars is .. The Chef here was trained in one of South America's largest cities Lima, Peru. Nothing is more home made than making food from your own home town. I think I might have found the best Chaufa de Mariscos near me. It looks like a Paella, and I hope I'm not misrepresenting my knowledge in Peruvian cuisine but this has awaken it. I enjoyed the salsa music playing, It truly felt like I was in Peru on Vacation! I saw a poster that on the weekends they host live music and although they do not serve alcohol, this is a nice place to enjoy great food with your Mama y Papa y Abuelos y Tias... don't they enjoy music too! Chaufa De Mariscos- It was very flavorful, the aroma of the shrimp and calamari and several other sea shell buddies mixed in sauce made of amazing flavors. On top of fluffy rice mixed with peas, carrots and very fresh. The serving is huge so bring your appetite. My highlight was the side pickled red onions. I tasted a tangy lime and mild onion taste. A refreshing balance to the Mariscos. I have a Dairy allergy and they were so nice to accommodate to my needs. To sum up, this is my first but definitely not my last dish from Mi Patria
Very cozy simple place.... BUT the food is absolutely amazing.. Delicious is to say the least.. Definitely going back.
We got the Pollo ala Braza, and it was tasty and delicious with an excellent flavor and, most of all, not dry at all.
Very good food. No beer though. Unfortunately new owner does not have the license to sell. But hopefully soon he will get it. Very nice environment and very delicious food.
I've been coming here for years and for good reason too! Their lomo saltado and ceviche de camarón are delicious and my go to dishes. The service is also very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend!
I recommend this place, its very good and the owner are so nice and generous
This place has the best food! I ordered the spinach noodles with steak. It was truly delicious. Because I am one of those weird people who likes everything separate, I asked for the noodles to be cooked plain, with the sauce on the side, and they were very accommodating. The steak I ordered medium rare, and it was perfect. I highly recommend this restaurant, it is very close to my home, I can either eat in or order to go.
