Wonderful service and delicious food. Everything we tried off the menu was really wonderful. A hidden gem in Burnaby! You can order anything off this menu and it’s going to be amazing. The fried cassava and hot sauce was a big hit. Generous portions for the price, too!
Phenomenal, nothing less. Beware, you will smell like fried food after, but oh boy it’s worth it. Really big portions, fair prices. They also have passion fruit juice, chicha morada, etc.
Affordable price, excellent food and excellent service. Lucho tried and loved Fried Tilapia with fried Yuca, salad and Tamarindo flavor Jarritos mexican pop
I’m Peruvian and love this restaurant and have been going to it with my family for over 10 years now. The food is always yummy and fresh. While the Peruvian food isn’t exactly like in Peru, it’s still pretty good version and definitely still tasty. We like that there are dishes offered from different Latin countries -lots of options! All you have to do is look at all the Latinos leaving good reviews and you know this place is legit. Don’t expect super speedy service or a fancy place because this isn’t that type of place and it’s unfair to hold it to that standard. This is a cozy family-run business and people need to learn to be understanding and patient; if you want fast service and fancy then go to some bougie place in Yaletown lol, but if you want good comida like how abuelita made it then this is it.
First time there they have really good service the best food big portions, I would definitely recommend going there also, they have really cheap prices 10 out of 10. Love the food. Good customer service.
I cannot recommend this place enough. I'm Colombian, and this is what Colombian food actually tastes like. It's so homey and well thought out— all the flavors are in the right place. The owner and cook is a Salvadoran man, along with his family, and they really have some of the best Latin American flavors in Burnaby! I loved it.
Everything is delicious and priced fairly in this crazy hyperinflation economy. The staff makes you feel welcomed and go above and beyond in friendliness. Better than a lot of the South American food Ive had closer down south. It has become a personal favourite and the meals here never fail to put a smile on my face. So good that we went two days in a row!
I found this excellent restaurant to remember my country. It is highly recommended to remember Colombia here in Canada.
