About

This small Peruvian restaurant pairs classics such as lomo saltado and chicha morada with a clearly labeled vegan section featuring tofu arroz chaufa and mushroom ceviche. It’s a casual, family-run-feeling spot with about six to eight tables; street parking can take some searching, and its limited lunch hours are worth checking ahead.
