The place is definitely a hole in the wall location( hidden GEM ) I recommend Picante the place to get your grub on.......
The food is delicious here. Best anticuchos (beef heart skewers) I ever had, the meat is juicy and tender. The ceviche and lomo saltado were really good too. I definitely recommend this place!!

Our first at Peruvian food! Must say it was absolutely delicious! They also provided a creamy hot sauce that complemented the dish extremely well. My wife went with the.Pollo Saltado and I their Tacu Tacu De Lomo. Both dishes were extremely delicious and huge! Service with a smile! Very small but personable place. Highly recommended. No liquor license. We enjoyed their passionfruit juice.
