What our guests are saying
We just happened upon this spot driving thru Montclair… and it was delicious! We ordered the fried rice with beef, chicken, and shrimp… and the fried fish. Everything was yummy… but the winner is their sauce!! Sooo dang good. I bought two bottles to take back to Philly!

My father is Peruvian so as you can imagine, finding authentic food for him has been a huge challenge!! He finds something wrong with literally every place we go but the food here was five stars all across the board! Thank you SO much to the staff, the food was DELICIOUS and everyone was so kind on a very busy holiday. He especially enjoyed the lomo, my personal favorite was the chaufa! We will definitely be back for more, the ambiance was very nice in the restaurant and takeout portions were generous.

Really yummy! Had my favorite dish Lomo Saltado and my fiancé had the chicharrón de pescado. It was the perfect amount of food, not too much or too little. I went during the week which made it easy to get a table but not sure how easy it is on the weekends. I hope to visit again soon
