Big portions here. Got the set menu for two and it fed like four people. Sweet and sour chicken was solid. Good spot for a quick bite.

The chocolate chiffon cake was soft and fluffy, but honestly, I wanted more chocolate taste. It felt a bit too light on the cocoa. Still, the texture was on point. I&#39;d grab it again if I&#39;m in the area, just maybe with a coffee to balance it out.

The northern platter was plenty for two, maybe even three. Took a while to get a table, but the flavors made up for it. Prices are a bit steep, though the portions balance that out. A cold beer on the side worked well with the smoky bits.

Stopped by for lunch on a workday. Chaufa rice and the soup were solid, big portions for the price. Place was busy but service kept up. Nothing fancy, but it did the job. Would go back if I&rsquo;m in the area and need a quick, filling meal.

The view is the main draw here, and it doesn&#39;t disappoint. The food is decent, though not the main focus. The juice was fresh and delicious, and the outdoor seating is lovely.

The lomo saltado was solid. Beef came out tender, sauce had that proper soy-vinegar kick. Portion was decent for the price. Place was busy but my plate hit the table fast. Couldn&#39;t ask for much more. Maybe the rice was a touch dry, but whatever. I&#39;d eat that again.

Food&rsquo;s still solid and the spot&rsquo;s easy to get to. Service though&mdash;kinda depends on the day. Typical fast food vibe, nothing more.

The special fried rice and roast pork were solid &mdash; crispy skin was on point. Flavors came through without being drowned in soy sauce. Tables are a bit tight and service felt rushed, but I&rsquo;d still eat here again.

The alfajores here are solid. Dense, sweet, that classic manjar blanco hit. Price is a bit steep for what you get though, and the plating is nothing special. Small spot, parking&#39;s a pain. But yeah, the cookies themselves do the job.

Small spot, so book ahead and bring cash. We almost didn&#39;t get a table. The food made it worth the hassle though.

The Kam Lu Wantan really stood out to me. That crispy wonton with the savory filling, the chifa-style sauce on top... it just worked. Bold flavors, pretty generous portion too. First time trying this place and I&#39;d go back just for that dish.

Solid spot for a quick bite in San Isidro. The pascualina was tasty and coffee hit the spot. Only downside&mdash;construction noise outside made it hard to chat with my friend. 😅

The anticuchos were the real deal&mdash;smoky, charred just right, and that spicy sauce on the side gave it a nice kick. I kept thinking about them after I left. Honestly, that&rsquo;s the only reason I&rsquo;d come back. The place itself was fine, nothing fancy, but the skewers did the talking.

The Swiss chard pie had a nice flaky crust, though it ran a bit salty for me. Corn pie was solid too. Chicha drink came out really sweet&mdash;maybe skip it if you&#39;re not into that.

The set menu here is a solid deal for a casual dinner near Kennedy Park. Food was tasty, though a couple of dishes were already sold out when we got there late. Fine if you&#39;re not up for cooking.

Came in for a coffee last week and the guy behind the counter was friendly enough. Drink was solid, made right. They even tossed in a little homemade cookie on the side, which was a nice touch. One time the service was a bit slow, but usually they&#39;re on top of it. Good spot if you&#39;re in the area.

The set lunch is a solid deal at 39 soles with a drink included. The aj&iacute; de gallina was good, and the tres leches cake hit the spot. Service was attentive without hovering.

Stopped by for a quick breakfast in Barranco. Eggs Benedict were solid, and that salad with the spicy balsamic dressing caught me off guard&mdash;in a good way. Service was quick enough for a weekday morning. Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot. Would grab a table again if I&#39;m in the area.

Came here on a random weekday, no wait which was nice. Got the lomo saltado and it was solid &mdash; meat tender, sauce good. Portion big enough that I didn&#39;t need anything else. Price felt fair for what you get. Place is a bit plain inside but whatever. I&#39;d come back if I&#39;m in the area.

The grilled octopus was the best thing we ordered. Comes out still sizzling on the flame, super tender. Fish was fresh too, cooked properly. Place is tiny though, felt a bit squeezed in. We got lucky with a table but I can see it getting packed later. Would go back just for that octopus, honestly.

The pisco sour hit the right spot&mdash;strong, not too sweet. I liked that they had a few dairy-free options too, didn&#39;t feel like I was settling. Place was a bit loud by the window, but the drink made up for it. Solid pick if you&#39;re in the mood for Peruvian food without the fuss.

Tried the European festival menu and honestly the Tinto de Verano was the highlight&mdash;properly made, not too sweet. Food was solid across the board, especially for the price. Place had a nice buzz but wasn&#39;t chaotic. Would come back for that drink alone.
