ay ay picante  4 Star Rating - Very good

By mairy r.

I went to eat today to ay ay picante restaurant and it was very good and i like the service .Like always the food is very good . But i miss the good service from the waiter Fernando, for this occasion am only going to but 4 stars, because the waiter Fernando didn't attend me and my family..because normally me and my family go to the restaurant every week.

Best Peruvain Cuisine!  5 Star Rating - World class

By Kyle K.

The decor and atmosphere is excellent! we enjoyed coming back to this place every single time. My best dish is the ceviche with Shrimp (jumbo pieces of shrimp surrounded by juices and corn). Great service.

Best Peruvian Humita  5 Star Rating - World class

By Princess P.

I had this dish the other day, wonderful flavor, the smell of the cinnamon wrapped in corn husks, hmm.
Wonderful service, waiters are so nice dressed, it made me feel like i was in a movie. (spanish movie).
Place is very big, i would recommend reservations, i was there for early dinner on a sunday and got packed quickly. Love this place.

Best Peruvian Experience  5 Star Rating - World class

By Dan G.

We had a late lunch (3pm), First, we picked 3 andean dishes:
humita-sweet (made with cinnamon),
humita-chicken,
Chicken tamal.
these 3 dishes blew me away for the intense flavor of corn.
I had the fried calamaris, a bit salty but was pretty good, along with the spicy green sauce, made a perfect combination. We couldn't even finish this dish when the real entree came by "Lamb stew" big plate full of meat and juicy green sauce made with cilantro and Peruvian corn beer.
Big portion! the lamb was very tender, the canary beans was very tasty. Prices are very low for the kind of food you get, this is the real Deal! we spend less than $35.00 (total) and took food home.
Waiters were very dashing looking in their black uniform, were very attentive and courteous at all times.
Pros: Great flavor, Great for a budget, BYOB
Cons: Reservation is require
