We met a friend for a late lunch in Burlingame and received very nice service. We ordered a cocktail, a shot of 1942, fish ceviche, a few empanadas, and the sampler plate. Our waiter was attentive and entertaining. Looking forward to returning soon and experiencing more items on the menu. Our selections were a solid 7 out of 10 considering the price point but certainly worth another try.

The food at this restaurant was all pleasant. The ceviche was just ok, kind of tart and spicy. The dark meat chicken was very tasty and fall off the bone tender, with funly textured yucca fries. The beef tenderloin didn’t have too much flavor, and came with rather mushy tomatoes, but the accompanying rice and french fries were very good. The menu was a bit confusing - Peruvian but with rotisserie chicken and truffle macaroni and cheese? It didn’t seem especially authentic, but I’ve never been to Peru so it’s possible I’m just confused. The atmosphere was bustling on a Friday night and downtown Burlingame is very cute for a walk afterwards.

Tuesday post Christmas, my friend got there before me around 11:30am and there were a plenty of seats at that time but when we were leaving, it got really busy! All of the foods were sooooooo good, fresh, and hot (temperature) with steam coming out. Enjoyed the Jalea, fried seafood sampler with maiz, Arroz con Mariscos, and the Polli-papas (fries with fried chicken and special sauce with cheese). Gimme more! Will be back to try other goodies :D

We had the best time. We were quickly seated and attended to. Overall service was fast, efficient and when you needed it. And you got to enjoy your table at just the right time. The food was stellar. We shared plates plus ordered extra empanadas to take to the hotel that night. The chicharrone de pollo is the best. We sampled another version in the city but it hailed in comparison to this perfection. The other total standout was the mango panna cotta. It's worth going back on a 2-hour drive just for this delight alone. All of the folks in the restaurant moved quickly and with purpose. It's rare to see that these days while having polite, courteous and an enjoyable experience. We will go back

Truffle Mac & Cheese was delish. I had boneless short ribs in cabernet sauce w/rice, carrots, and a little potatoes. My first time here and 4 of us ordered the short ribs which is why I gave it 3 stars. The meat was dry and tough. Desserts were good. We probably won't go back as it was not worth $62.+ per person. 😕
