Upon entry at the restaurant, you can already smell the Peruvian spices and you can feel the mexican ambiance because of the music. I found this place through website which has the highest rating around the vicinity. The chicken is very tasty and soft topped with spices. Price is reasonable for 195 pesos.

Went there on a Sunday, make sure to reserve ahead of time cause the place gets packed with families. In tow we brought our cousin who lived in Peru four years to verify the legitimacy of the place. Ordered the ceviche, it was legit but they used japanese corn. Peruvian chicken was dry and had to be drowned with the different sauces that were more Mexican than Peruvian. The octopus or pulpo had the legit flavor but the meat was tough and not soft. Had a hard time chewing it. Overall food was okay, bit pricey not that authentic you want it to be but close enough according to my cousin.

Got a chance to visit Don Andres via a coupon from Deal Grocer. Don Andres serves authentic Peruvian cuisine. The coupon entitled us to a soup of our choice: Pumpkin, Tomato, or Mushroom. We chose Pumpkin Soup and it was really flavorful and delicious. The addition of cumin and garlic gave it a nice aroma and a unique taste. For main course we had a half of their famous roasted chicken. The chicken was very tender even for the breast part. The spice rub of the chicken gave it an addicting feel. For the side dishes, we chose the corn salsa and the veggies with lime dressing. I love the corn salsa because it uses white and yellow corn. The texture was good and the sourness gave it a bright taste. The chicken was also served with three sauces: aji or spicy cucumber dip, chimichurri, and spicy mayo. The chimichurri was the best. The aji gave a cool taste with a spicy aftershock; and somehow the spicy mayo was a good dip for the chicken.Just these two dishes alone, it was money well spent. But we didn't stop there, we had to try their dessert. We ordered their Key Lime Pie and it was the best we ever had. The crust was flaky and the filling was citrusy yet sour and sweet. The entire pie blended together and explodes in your mouth.
