Delicious pisco sours and very generous portions! Kind and quick service in a fun neighborhood to explore.

Amazing food and service!! Will definitely be coming again! Raul was a fabulous host!

Great food. Very nice happy hour. The staff is super friendly! I would definitely recommend it if you're in the neighborhood.

We came here on a random weekday and saw that there was a happy hour! ($5 beer, wine and sangria) which is such a good deal in this neighborhood. When we walked in, the place was empty and the servers were so attentive and friendly. They gave us complimentary bread with this delicious yellow sauce that I asked for more of to add with every meal. They recommended the octopus which was crispy and hot, but it wasn't my favorite. The seafood paella was pretty good but more "wet" than I imagined. Definitely will come back to try other things, but very happy I got to try this spot.

This new Peruvian spot is an easy new staple. SO amazing all around! First and foremost, phenomenal food. We got the bruschetta and the ceviche citrico. Both fantastic. The ceviche was a generous portion which I was happy to see. They also have great drinks, including a million different flavors of sangria! Service and ambiance also on point. Happy hour includes $5 drinks and half off apps. Stellar.

One of the BEST happy hours in NYC. Where else can you $5 cocktails (aperol spritz, sangria, etc) and half-priced appetizers? The star of the show was the ceviche mixto, even though it wasn't part of the happy hour deal. Our servers also were so sweet and nice.

Great spot! Had great ambiance and even better service! The bartender was super friendly and helpful. Ceviche was great too! Definitely will be a regular spot. Excited to see what else is to come in the future here!
