  This place is great! They just moved to a new building on three months ago which is about a block and a half down from the old location.
  
  This Ceviche was excellent! The Lomos Saltados was also very good! They changed their salsa recipe. Before they had no spice at all. Now it has the perfect amount of heat! Enjoy!

  Horrible food.
  
  My coworkers and I all orders take out. All the burritos were blah, everyone complained. My salad was horrible I have no idea what the dressing was supposed to be, but it was some flavorless white stuff. The empanadas were tiny, 2 of them cut in half, microwaved and served with a louie dressing.
  I truly cannot express how bad it is. I am constantly amazed at what people will eat.

  We were at a meeting in SF.  Looking for a place to eat on the way home I found this restaurant listed.  I never had Peruvian food and went out of my way to check it out.  The place recently moved and the new location looks like a fast food taco joint.  Nothing fancy about it.  The food we ordered was very good.  We also ordered two Ice teas.  The glass was small and filled with ice.   I asked for a refill during our meal.  He took my glass and topped it off.   I asked him to refill my wife's glass which was still 1/3 full.  He added more to her glass.  When we got the check he charged me for 4 Ice Teas a total of almost $12.00.  He never told me that refills were not included.  I asked him about it and he said it is policy.  $12.00 for about 8 oz of tea plus ice is ridiculous.  He didn't even bother to bring fresh glasses.   One the rare occasion I was charged for a refill it was noted and was usually less than the full charge.  
  
  I do not recommend this place and will we ever return.

  Quick recommendation: if you're looking for good Mexican food this is a great spot to stop at. Just be weary that if you come during rush hour, things may be a little slow.
  
  Stopped in here for lunch today because I was craving a burrito, so that's exactly what I ordered. The food here is incredible, the burrito is exactly what I needed and the taste was on point. The chips and salsa were also great. I also added a glass coke which really completed this delicious meal. The only thing that made me give it 4 stars instead of 5 was the service. There were only two waiters (with managers occasionally helping) in the entire place and you can tell they were overwhelmed, water was never refilled and I almost felt bad for asking for anything because I could see how it crazy it was during peak hours. However the food here is great so if you're picking up or come here during off hours, you will be happy you did!

  Gotta say, not much from the outside... but the food is great!! Easy parking, right off the cutest little street in Pacifica to walk around, buy a plant, get a locally baked cookie, or shop antiques.
  
  We had a huge plate of fried fish, calamari, shrimp and yucca. The yucca was a little under-fried and not as crispy as we normally like, but everything else was great. Two sauces to pick from and a super pretty plate it came on!
  
  The garlic butter shrimp was also fantastic. It was very pricy for the dish though.. $19 for 6 regular sized shrimp, a large scoop of rice and salad. It was a good salad though! Although I say it's pricey, I would also probably order it again because the garlic butter sauce was amazing!! Soo tasty!
  
  Coke comes in glass bottles which is a fave of my husbands.
  
  Very nice servers.
