“ Transports you from South West London to South America... Great Peruvian street food that is both healthy and tasty. Greeted with a friendly "Hola!" upon entering, you immediately feel like you've traveled thousands of miles away to Peru or Ecuador. The owners/staff, decor, background latina music, and of course the authentic and tasty food really do transport you to another continent. I got the quinoa arepa with beef and my wife got it with chicken. Both fantastic and felt healthy and wholesome but full of flavor. Loved how they were packed with healthy ingredients including kale, quinoa, plantains, and red cabbage. Highly recommend! For those who care, I'm wearing a colorfully striped linen shirt from Italian brand Mazzarelli, rumoured to be shirt makers for the papacy of Rome for the past century ”

“ Such a nice and welcoming little spot! The guy serving me was very helpful. I ordered an arepa with chicken which was superb! All the ingredients were very fresh and authentic. ... ”
“ We came to try the arepas after hearing they were gluten-free. When we asked about cross-contamination he even offered to clean the griddle before preparing my meal. The service was fantastic—he was friendly and attentive throughout our visit. When we mentioned that we didn’t like spicy sauces, he surprised us by making a fresh, non-spicy sauce just for us. It was such a thoughtful touch! And obviously everything was incredible and soooo tasty! We’ll definitely be coming back! ”
