"Great Peruvian sandwich spot. I ordered takeaway—everything was fresh, flavorful, and packed well. The bread was crispy, the meat juicy, and the sauces excellent. Quick service, too. Worth it."
Yanis Faber
"This place feels like an Italian-style eatery with Peruvian flavors. The service is friendly and fast. The sandwiches are filled with delicious meats and cheeses prepared per order with a deliciously soft, crispy bun. Their claim that their papas are the best in the world might actually be true. They are perfectly fried and flavorful Peruvian potatoes served with two types of sauces. The nuances make this a top-notch (proper cappuccino glasses). This is a MUST for anyone in Arequipa looking for delicious bites!"
