    Great local family style restaurant in the area. Food portion is very huge, and they have white and red sangria options. My favorite dish was Jalea Mixta, fried seafood!

    Legit best Peruvian food ever. Their ceviche is a must. The specialties are all fantastic. I've been coming here for many years and it's always reliable, reasonably priced and delicious.

    Oh wow! The food is amazing. The two of us ordered ceviche mixto, lomo saltado, and pescado a lo macho. It's a lot of food for two people, but definitely worth it. Will order desert right now :D

    Good homemade Peruvian food. Everything was good, but I specially recommend the Ceviches. The size of the dishes is huge, just so you know. The only problem: they were a little slow serving.

    The ceviche plate is amazing. Also portions are large and well made. Great value for money and it is no surprise they are that busy. Good service too.

    Delicious food and huge portions. Service is just ok. Luckily they don't automatically include the tip like most of the places at South Beach. All in all great value for money.

    Start with the ceviche and then get that fried shrimp--heaven! Sangria is bomb, too.

    The Ceviche was absolutely amazing. Far and away the best I have ever eaten. Will definately go back again when I find myself back in Miami.

    First time having Peruvian food and the pescado mixto was fantastic!! Seafood extravaganza and lots of flavor. Wish it came with more rice. Poor service though.

    It gets busy, food is moderately priced for its location. Parking is a bitch. And the coconut flan is prepackaged.

    Avoid this place! They don't make their own chicha morada and fail to properly season their food. Saw the high ratings but I'm extremely disappointed.
