Came from Upstate NY, found the place through the Yelp app and decided to give it a shot. Parking came be complicated, this place is surrounded by pubs and other college student restaurants. Had to park at a close by bank parking lot. We called ahead (1hour wait), waited 5 minutes to get to our tables. This a Saturday, there was live music but I am not sure it happens every night. Customer service was great, the server kept checking in with us. We order (party of 4 including a 9 year old) a couple of delicious Pisco Sour drinks. I had the Ceviche (medium spice), my wife order the chicken (more on that in a minute) and my teenage daughter order the Jalea. Both Ceviche and Jalea were excellent...
Came in here a few weeks back. Well I ordered from this location, not knowing that it had basically closed and had been absorbed by its sister Machu Pichu down the street. I always felt it weird they were so close but MC was certainly more causal. I ended up calling ahead and walking to MC before realizing they had combined.I used to come here often when I lived in Porter pre-Covid. Best sandwich in Union in my opinion but that has certainly changed. By far the biggest disappointment is moving from a French bread type roll to a bulky sandwich roll. Completely changes the taste. Not the same amount of rotisserie chicken as it used to be and most of it was dry. It’s a shame as I used to really...
I recently ordered delivery from a Peruvian restaurant and tried the mixed ceviche, lomo saltado, tamal, and the chicken dinner. While their prices were a bit higher than some other options in the area, the dishes were definitely worth it. Our favorites were the mixed ceviche and lomo saltado, with the ceviche standing out for its refreshing aftertaste. The tamal was interesting but a little too heavy for an appetizer. The roasted chicken was just mediocre, but the accompanying sauces really elevated the dish. We also intended to try the Inca kola and their specialty corn drink, but sadly, our Grubhub driver ended up taking them. Overall, it was a delightful dinner experience.
I ordered the half Peruvian Roasted Chicken, which included a quarter of dark meat and a quarter of white meat. Personally, I prefer dark meat, but it ultimately comes down to individual taste. The roasted chicken was full of flavor, juicy, and surprisingly light. The plantains were delicious, especially when paired with the spicy and non-spicy sauces provided by our server.
The staff was very friendly and hails from Honduras. The best part is that it was remarkably affordable—around $10 per person for a full meal. Don't miss out on the fried yucca and the Peruvian roasted chicken!

Yummm. I really like this place. But I will say the best Peruvian places seem to be out in Everett. That said, roast chicken here is to die for. Also tried the Jalea the other day and the squid and fish are fried INCREDIBLY well soft and melt in your mouth. Definitely get yucca fries and fried plantains if you have space. I always leave this place feeling way more full than I expect. Will aim to try more dishes next time! Bow Market and Union Square are around the corner and nice to walk around until you feel light enough to sit down again!
Delicious! I really enjoy this place. However, I have to admit that the best Peruvian restaurants seem to be in Everett. That being said, the roasted chicken here is absolutely amazing. I also tried...
The food was amazing, and I can't wait to return to this restaurant when I'm back in the area. They hosted a group of over 25 people and were incredibly attentive and understanding of everyone's needs!
This isn't the actual restaurant; it's about 1,000 feet from this corner. They should definitely let people know that. The food looks appealing, but in terms of taste, I would rate it a 4 out of 10.

The food was amazing! I really enjoyed the roasted chicken with green sauce. The maracuyá juice was incredibly refreshing as well!
The rotisserie chicken is amazing. The beans are excellent as well and definitely worth trying.
