The salmon with capers and creamy risotto was spot on. Moist, flavorful, exactly what I wanted. A&ccedil;ai bowl had plenty of toppings too.

The grilled octopus was spot on, and that Amazon fish dish? Really good. Pisco sours are properly strong too. Service lagged a bit, but the food made up for it. Call ahead for a table.

Portions were solid for the price&mdash;left full without feeling ripped off. Got the seafood platter and it hit the spot. Service was quick too. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The lomo saltado was really good, super flavorful and the meat was tender. We went on a Friday night with a few friends and it had a nice buzz to it. Only thing is our waiter kinda disappeared for a bit, took a while to get the check. Still, the food made up for it, I&#39;d go back for that plate alone.

The food really carried the whole meal. Had the lomo saltado and it was solid, cooked right, good flavor. Tables and stuff feel a bit worn, but honestly I didn&#39;t care much once the plates arrived. Place gets busy but it&#39;s fine. Just wish the chairs were a bit more comfy, that&#39;s all.

The chicken fried rice and wonton soup hit the spot&mdash;came out fast and tasted like proper chifa classics. Place felt clean and safe, though the welcome at the door was a bit cold. Slightly pricey for the portion, but I&rsquo;d come back for the food. A crisp pisco sour would&rsquo;ve paired nicely with the fried rice.

The mango ice cream was the highlight &mdash; creamy and fresh. Mains were solid too, portions big enough to share. Wish I had room for more.

The duck fried rice was solid&mdash;plenty of pieces of duck, not just a few sad shreds. For the price, the portion felt fair, which is rare around here. Place is huge and loud though, so not the spot if you want a chill dinner. Service kept up fine despite the crowd. I&rsquo;d come back for that rice when I&rsquo;m hungry and don&rsquo;t mind the noise.

The ceviche here was seriously good&mdash;fresh fish, nice kick of lime, and the red onion on top was crisp. One of the better ones I had in Lima. Price is a bit higher than other spots, but the portion felt fair. Place was busy when I went, but the food came out quick enough.

The red velvet cupcake was solid&mdash;moist, rich, and the frosting was on point. I grabbed a hot chocolate too, which paired well. Place was a bit cramped for sitting around, but fine for a quick stop. I&rsquo;d come back for that cupcake again, just maybe take it to go next time.

Decent spot for a night out. Service was attentive, crowd skews 35+ which I liked. Music was mostly 80s/90s, pretty good if that&#39;s your thing.

Good music, decent drinks. Cocktails get pricey if you&#39;re not watching it, but fair for the area. Laid-back spot to hang out.

Solid Neapolitan breaded cutlet. Flan with dulce de leche was the highlight. Meat empanada good too. Everything came out tasty. No complaints.

The avocado dish and omelette were solid, came with warm bread on the side. Acai-mango bowl for dessert was a nice refreshing way to end. Staff were friendly enough, didn&#39;t have to wait long for anything. Place was pretty chill for a morning stop.

Decent spot to camp out with a laptop for a few hours. Wifi held up fine, street was quiet, and the vibe was comfortable enough. Had the yogurt with fruit and granola for breakfast&mdash;pretty good. Quiche with side salad worked for lunch too. Staff were attentive without hovering. Only thing is it can get a bit warm inside in the afternoon. Still, solid for getting work done.

The cappuccino here had this super thick foam that stayed creamy till the last sip. I grabbed the apple crumble too, warm and not overly sweet, went really well together. Place is tucked away in Miraflores, easy to miss but worth finding. Only thing is it got a bit crowded around noon, but whatever.

The live blues vinyl was a nice touch, really set the vibe. Pizza was solid and the service kept things moving. Good spot for a chill night out.

The owner actually sat down with us for a few minutes to walk through the menu since our Spanish was pretty limited. He explained how the lomo saltado recipe came from his grandmother. That personal touch made the meal feel more meaningful than just another tourist stop.

The anticuchos were tender and the marinade really came through. Chicha morada on the side was a nice touch.

Simple, clean, and affordable. Menu&#39;s small but everything I&#39;ve tried was solid. Been coming back for the lomo saltado and it never disappoints.

The empanada was the highlight for me. Fresh, flaky, and the filling tasted like it was made that morning. I asked if they could swap the brioche for sourdough and they did it without any fuss. Food came out fast too. Only thing is the place got a bit loud by the time we finished. Still, I&#39;d go back for that empanada.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed the rocoto relleno. That thing was solid, nice kick to it. Place is big and gets loud, but whatever. The costillas though, kinda bland, needed more seasoning. No parking lot, had to find a spot a couple blocks away. Fine for a quick bite if you&#39;re in the area.

Flavorful food and huge portions&mdash;we had leftovers for sure. Owner was super attentive even with the busy afternoon crowd.

The maracumango cheesecake alone is worth the trip. Seriously. Had it last week and still thinking about it. Staff left us alone, which I appreciated. Place gets busy though, so go early if you want a quiet table.

Big portions for sure. I sat near the window and the light was nice, not too harsh. The sahofan with chicken was pretty good, noodles had a nice texture. Place gets loud when there&#39;s a game on, but the big screens make it easy to watch. Fine for a casual meal.

The causa rellena was solid and the lomo saltado hit the spot. Downtown location makes it easy to stop by. Got a bit loud around lunchtime, but the vibe inside was still nice. I&rsquo;d sit by the window next time, seemed a little quieter over there.
