Ordered pollo saltado and 1/4 chicken meal. The pollo saltado came out perfectly! I enjoy trying new food, which has the similarity to filipino food. Overall, if anyone is in the area to try out this place. I came from Yokota AB and stopped by here. It did not disappoint.

Great peruvian restuarant in the heart of Yokosuka. The food selection was awesome. I really enjoyed the Lomo saltado dish with the pisco sour cocktail. Overall it was a busy Sunday night but the service was good and the food delicious.

The only thing I didn't like was the fact that I didn't know this place even existed until today. The atmosphere, cozy. The service, great. The food, the best! I left my plate spotless, it was that good. You best believe I made sure to give my complements to the chef. This restaurant immediately became my favorite. I highly recommend it to anyone, especially to any Hispanics feeling homesick. Short walk from Womble Gate. 10/5 stars!

Got the Milanesa and saltado de Camaron. Milanesa was good, similar to chicken katsu. The saltado is more of a tomato based savory taste on fries w shrimp. The atmosphere was inviting and the service was good. The cakes look great too. The salsa rojo was perfect. It didn’t have too much of a smoky chipotle taste but it was spicy. But not too spicy to take away from the meal

The best Peruvian restaurant I have found in Japan, super deli. The woman at the front is always super kinda and friendly, and makes great conversation. The food is absolutely fantastic, with the Pollo a la Brasa being my favorite. I also love their Lomo Saltado, Yucas, and Milanesa. They also sell Empanadas to go! And little Peruvian treats like Sublimes which I remember from Bolivia, and Jello Universal! Absolutely worth a trip down here!

My first Peruvian restaurant in Japan and before I even paid my bill, I knew I was coming back. You will surely walk past this little gem if you aren't intentionally looking for it. That's totally cool with me because then I won't ever have to worry about it being crowded. See ya soon, El Pechugon.

So good! It has large filling portions and the atmosphere is very cozy! Highly recommend the tallarines a La huancaina con lomo, it’s spicy and creamy pasta is great, especially paired with the lomo saltado. I also recommend the half chicken if you’re looking for a more high protein meal, really juicy and flavorful. Unfortunately, it’s a little on the pricier side tho

Good food. Good service. The location seems a bit sketch but the food is good enough to ignore it. The combo with fried rice, quarter chicken and fries is the most popular option and rightfully so. Groups of 4 or less is recommended due to the space available.
