Came here for breakfast while wandering the market. The space is bigger than it looks from outside, pretty chill. Got the breaded fish plate &mdash; fish was solid, but the pinto beans hit hard with garlic. Like, really garlicky. Not mad at it though. Decent spot if you&#39;re already inside and hungry.

The tuna tartare was fresh, avocado on the side worked really well with it. Filet came out tender, cooked exactly how I asked. Place was busy for a Tuesday but we still got our food in decent time. Just wish they&rsquo;d check on the table a bit more, had to flag someone down for water refills.

Stopped by for lunch and the service was quick, no complaints there. Got the casado and it came out fast, which I appreciate. Place has a decent vibe, nothing fancy but comfortable. Fine if you&#39;re in Ciudad Col&oacute;n and need a bite. Maybe not the most memorable meal, but it does the job.

Tried the birria tacos from Llorrona and honestly they hit the spot. The consomm&eacute; was rich and the meat was super tender. Place gets crazy busy around lunch though, took a bit to find a seat. Parking underneath is easy at least. Would go back just for those tacos.

Alejandro at the gift shop sorted me out&mdash;walked me through the promos, let me sample stuff, and helped me pick what I actually wanted. Solid shopping stop.

The roasted pork with flat noodles hit the spot. Savory, a little fatty, noodles had good chew. Fruit tea on the side was a nice touch, not too sweet. Portion was decent for the price. I&#39;d come back just for that dish again.

Been coming here for a while now, and the mixed grill keeps me coming back. Cooked right every single time. Place has a nice vibe too, not too loud. Just wish they&#39;d change the music up once in a while, but that&#39;s me being picky. Solid spot if you know what you want.

Stopped by on a rainy afternoon and it was exactly what I needed. Place was quiet, not packed at all. I could actually sit and enjoy my coffee without feeling rushed. Service was fine, nothing fancy, but they left me alone which I appreciate. Just a simple, chill spot to kill some time.

The rice and beans here are the real deal, best I&#39;ve had in Santa Ana. Chicken was juicy too. Caribbean flavors on point.

Nice spot, food came out quick and hot. Got the pad thai, decent flavor though could use a bit more salt. Service was friendly and fast. Good for a quick lunch break.

Great beer selection&mdash;stouts, meads, you name it. They let you sample before choosing, which I appreciated. Tacos were solid too. Music wasn&#39;t blasting, so we could actually talk.

Stopped by for breakfast near the central park. Had the Gallo Pinto with eggs and coffee&mdash;solid portion for the price. Service was quick, no fuss. Place gets busy but they handle it fine. Good enough if you&#39;re in the area and want something simple before heading out.

The ceviche was fresh, really lime-y and bright. Sat outside, no rush at all. Pretty good spot for a casual lunch. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger for the price. But decent overall.

The Buddha bowl was solid &mdash; quinoa, sweet potato, falafel all worked well together. Fresh juice on the side hit the spot. Manager came by to check on us, which felt genuine. Only thing is the seating, those wooden chairs get uncomfortable after a while. Would&#39;ve liked to linger longer but my back said otherwise.

Beef tenderloin was tender, but the sauces fell flat. Not really authentic Peruvian flavor. Staff were nice though.
