The idea of asking and paying before consuming as if it were a van would be great if it were a larger place or if everything was served to take away, since there is a waitress who is paid later and is already there, even if it is in a bar. The schedule is also very short. The food very rich.

This is my first time trying Peruvian cuisine.
It s also an experience that makes me fall in love with Peruvian cuisine.
The store s opening hours are recommended to be first searched in Google.
Can also ask through FB

Very friendly and kind
I really like the color of the colorful dishes, it is refreshing and unburdened.

Ceviche is a classic Peruvian dish, mainly based on the strong acidity of lemon juice, "salted" fish, this time the lemon marinade is full of weight, the store knows that our honeymoon also entertained another smoked salmon dish!

The chicken burger is really amazing, the shredded chicken is served with special sauce, and the potato is different.

The meat sauce of the bolognese mexican shortbread is really delicious, the cheese is a finishing touch, and the beans make the taste smooth.

The best Peruvian Street food in Barcelona

They have a not very extensive menu, which I think is super successful, with about 3 or 4 starters, 4 or 5 different types of ceviches, a couple of sandwiches and 3 or 4 main dishes (more or less). They also have a couple of homemade desserts. I cannot comment on the ceviches because I don't like them, but of the rest of the dishes I will have tried more or less half and they seem to me all of 10 !! It is street food but of a high quality, very tasty and well prepared, with generous portions. For both of us we had enough with 1 starter and two main ones, we also had room for dessert (the lemon pie seems spectacular to me ). The nachos surprised me a lot, on the one hand come the tortilla chips and on the other the sauce that is spectacular. I think the price is very correct for the quality they offer.
The restaurant is small but you can tell that it is set up with a lot of love (just like the food). Now, because of the Covid, they do not occupy all the tables to be able to respect distances, which is very appreciated. I find the service very attentive and fast. In short, I really like this restaurant, in my opinion the best in its style in Gracia and surely in all of Barcelona. For me, the only downside is that they are not open all weekend and due to schedules I cannot go as many times as I want ... One suggestion would be that in the lunch menu there should be some starter that was not ceviche for people like me to whom we don't like it

Very good is little. Small and quiet place with natural light. Peruvian homemade food with notes from other countries. They do not accept reservations or groups as the tables are a maximum of four people, however it is worth going there. Classic ceviche with the perfect spicy point for those of us who don't like it very much, Japanese style ceviche accompanied by prawn bread, delicious chaufa rice, sweet potato bravas also very tasty. Homemade mousse-type desserts are light, good and not expensive. Drinks, purple chicha, pink lemonade and a special tea. A cocktail is missing. I recommend sharing so you can try different dishes.

The delicious food, the cozy place and the unbeatable treatment! We shared some brave sweet potatoes (very good!) An impressive ceviche (salmon with fried wontons) and Mexican tortas! All super tasty, very careful and very good value for money! In addition, the girl who attended us was charming and super friendly! Ah! The craft beers tb of 10 !! We will repeat fixed !!!

The place is small, informal and works like a food truck: you order, pay and take it to the table.
I have ordered a salmon ceviche that has really SURPRISED me of how good it was although it is true that the quantity has seemed meager. My friend has asked for some noodles that he also loved

A 4.5 to be fair. Good ceviche and Peruvian dishes without being the best I have ever tasted. Correct quantities (not abundant but give to try several things) and good value for money. Pretty fast service. Local a bit cold despite the colors. Highly recommended as a dessert the Chocolate Ganache.

I love this place, the discovery of the year! Every time I go I try a new thing and it surprises me. Highly recommended salmon ceviche in nikkei sauce, my favorite. The pulled pork acevichado is the juiciest I've tasted, and it has a refreshing touch that makes it unique. Today I tried the toast and I was also in love, great to share as an appetizer.

That person who has pulled the stocking down a lot ... putting a star because they did not bring him the drink first ... he does not know that this is a great street food and there is no "waitress" or nobody offered to respond to his nonsense . Certainly an evil. The day will come when a better algorithm is made and it is impossible for a single malicious or angry person to influence so much an average of Google stars ...

A cozy and familiar place!

This site has a lot of charm:

- It has a natural light that makes you feel full of life while you are in there.
- It is attended by the owners who are very attentive, respectful and pleasant people
- The gastronomy they offer is very colorful, with very good flavor and on a very special theme, where they combine dishes from different countries, making your gastronomic experience a tour of the world.
- They have a ceviche that you must definitely try, since it is very worth it.

Without a doubt, this is a place to repeat!

Style: Typical Peruvian street food dishes
Great salmon ceviche (fresh and with a spicy touch) and great pulled pork that melts in your mouth. The desert that we tried was a really soft Nutella mouse (much softer than expected!!!).
Very good, fast and attentive service.
