Based on others' reviews, my husband and I arrived to Miami Beach and decided to enjoy our first meal at the restaurant. It is a small space, and very cozy. I mentioned that it was my husband's birthday in passing to the waiter, and we ordered our food and drinks. The lunch prices are extremely reasonable and the options are... More

Still, if you like seviche, they have very good combinations for reasonable price. Other items on the menu include peruvian and bolivian items. Sometimes inconsistent in taste. Service ok.

well, all has been said: decor and presentation is finally not just south American but also beautiful and not just "home made authentic food" it feels like an upscale restaurant, with a decent wine list (form a variety of SA countries including a very nice and well priced Malbec from Argentina). Even the beer selection is unique (unfortunately, not on... More

Looking for good authentic Columbian, Bolivian, or Peruvian food come here. There is also a little area for traditional meals. Explore your taste buds and order from the Tapas menu!

Went there to have dinner with family and friends. Had a great time. The ambiance was nice and mellow. The appetizers were delicious as were the meals. We all had different kinds of food, which were all tasty and delicious. We also had the Sangrias, probably the best sangrias we've ever had. But the best of it all was the... More

My husband and I were in the Miami area for a week and had a Groupon for this restaurant. We stopped in for dinner one evening before a show in the area. This restaurant is fairly new. We wish the owner much success. He was really enthusiastic about his restaurant when he stopped by our table and spoke with us.... More

Ordered' Pescado Margarita ' which is fish, mango salsa with coriander rice and some plantains. The food was delicious. Loved the flavor in the rice, the presentation and the overall taste of the dish. The staff were courteous and the service was very good. The interiors also has a good vibe to it, with neon color seats and wooden tables... More

Found this restaurant on Washington Avenue after spending way too much money eating on Ocean Drive. What a pleasure it was indeed! We had the sampler platter for $29 which gave us a sample of 7 dishes, mojitos and a bottle of wine all for under $70 with tax and tip! Sure beats the $150-$350 meals on Ocean Drive. The... More
