Peruvian food is the best and Mochica does it justice! Great bar too. Service on point as well.

The lomo was good but the chicken dishes were over cooked and dry. The service was particularly slow and we sat for long periods just waiting to order. Parking in the area is pretty easy.

Great food and great wait staff.the Peruvian food was great, I got the Pollo A La Brasa, half chicken which was spiced well and very moist, the churros and empanadas were great too. My only complaint is they didn’t take American Express cards, very unusual in three cashless times

The food is great, but the fees are crazy, healthy fee? Gratuity for more 7 people, too expensive

Really impressed with the quality of the food and the taste profile. The chilaquiles on the brunch menu was great.

Drinks were great! The appetizers were also excellent and decent portions. Shared a few entrees and while I like enjoyed the half chicken and the pork belly and rice, the paella was kind of watery and gritty.
All of the appetizers are fantastic. I have been pleased with each one I've tried.

Delicious brunch. Fish tacos are perfectly spicy.

Service was accommodating to a fast turnaround for our lunch.

Always a huge fan of this place! I came once for bottomless mimosas and another time with a bigger group for a family thing. We were seated right away - and plenty of reservations available same day even on a Saturday morning.

Good:
- Fast service - food comes fairly quickly
- Good ambiance - really cute and clean interior and parklet
- Love the Fried rice Pork belly dish - just a good portion size and I shared it with 2 people. The seafood paella dish was amazing too - really fresh flavor and seafood.
- Nice yelp check in offer - definitely get it if you're here - i got a free glass of sangria!

Bad:
- Definitely pricey - probably the only reason that would make me more hesitant to come back
- The pork belly skewer meat was a bit too fatty and dry for me - the pork belly in the fried rice was much better in my opinion.

-
Overall enjoyed this place and would come back for solid Peruvian food and good hearty brunch!

Wow all I could say is that I am not a critic but this place was very disappointing coming from a Latin heritage and eating at this place was definitely not authentic.
Limon and mi lindo Peru are definitely on top.
The lomo saltado was not
Great. The chicken was cut in very large pieces and few fries on top.

I had an amazing time and the service was amazing. Try the lomito asado it’s delicious, also the shrimp ceviche, those two made my day.

Ordered the street food specialty. Had mixed sausage (shaped like little coils), potato wedges (think of the wedges you used to get from kfc) and eggs. I had requested eggs over easy.but got something that more resembles a scramble. They add three sauces on top of it all. Red, green, orange sauces. It was a nice combo of sauces. I give the place 3 stars as "it's okay" because well, the sausage pieces weren't that great nor was the potato too desirable. The potatoes pieces were quite large so the majority of this dish is potato.
I also got their passion fruit juice, which was nice, but very sweet.they must have added sugar in the juice.
Would I come back again? Maybe not considering that on their block there are many other brunch places that I would try sooner. The total bill for brunch for 2 people after tax and tip was $91 making this quite an expensive place for what we get.

I didn't know what to expect when I came here for dinner. It was a work dinner and everything was tasty. If you love that grill flavor then this is the place for you. I sent my wife here with her friend the following week on their ladies night out and it didn't disappoint for them either.

Always amazing food and ambiance, We love coming here. The portions are fair, its so flavorful and tasty. For sure a special occasion place where you can order small plates and share. We love their ceviche, yuca balls, lomo saltado, chicharron de pollo and their drinks!

We went at lunch for a party of 5. They are making the best of what they can out of the outdoor seating - they are located on a small incline so seating was so. Staff was attentive and friendly. All of the food was delicious and delivered in a timely manner, albeit a tad pricey. Would definitely recommend for a special occasion lunch or evening out.

1 star off because I did notice that the paper menus we were given had noticeably already been used. During COVID times, one would think the paper menus as one time use as there is no way to appropriately disinfect them.
