My Empanadas

"Just found out about this place and was excited to check it out. We ordered the pollo saltado and llomo saltado to go. Service was quick. Food was reasonably priced and SO GOOD. So happy to have a Peruvian restaurant in Fairfax. We'll definitely go back again."

"Great Beef Empanadas, Authentic Peruvian Style and good papaya smoothie I am Peruvian and it’s hard to find empanadas in NOVA that are really 100% Peruvian style. Specially the pastry dough. This place uses the dough we use in Peru, or the one you find almost anywhere in Lima or the coast. A beautiful empanada with a bit of sugar powder on top of it served with pieces of lime. Just like in Peru! It was delicious, the papaya smoothie (fyi does not come with milk) was great as well. We finished our empanadas so I only took a photo of the juice left in the glass I highly recommend the place to stop and grab a snack or a lonche. (tea time). What needs to change: the atmosphere. Poor decor, needs a bit of coziness."

"This is simply THE BEST in the area for traditional Peruvian food. I've tried so many other places in the northern Virginia area and I've always left disappointed. Finally I've found this jewel in the heart of Fairfax city. The food gets cooked in front of you right there when you order it. The taste is on point and the size of the portions is very generous. My family had the Jalea and Tallarin Saltado con Carne and we were throughly satisfied with both the delicious food and the friendly service. The place looks like it just opened. I wish them success and many years more so we can keep coming back for the excellent Peruvian food."

"This place has some amazing food, the ladies that run the place were nice and helpful. They didn’t oversell the food, they offered suggestions and gave me a meal that had so much flavor I left me thinking I could eat another plate if I wasn't so full. You can't go wrong here."

"Wife and I stopped in. New joint, was pretty empty. Food was excellent; we shared a beef empanada and pollo saltado, plus a big glass of lacuma. Service was quick, attentive, and friendly. I'm deducting one star because they don't yet have a point of service system installed, they only take cash or venmo for now, which was a bit annoying. Otherwise, great experience, and we'll be going back."
