Great cheap peruvian place. I love this place! I've been going here since I was young with my brother and my mom. And every time we go there they rememeber us. They are friendly and have good service. I love the food! I recommend the lomo saltado, anticuchos and chiccaron de pollo. My moms peruvian and she doesn't really cook and can't cook the typical dishes so everytime we want peruvian food we go here! Highly recommend it for good portions at a good price!

Talk about Value!. Think: typical American diner. The atmosphere and decor is reminiscent of a truck stop, if there were a truck stop that served Peruvian and Spanish food. Such good portions and quality for the money. Yes, I've had better fried calamari and Spanish style beef, but never for so little! Actually, the fried calamari was better than most high end tapas bars. Next time I would probably just order take-out, because the food and prices far outshines the dreary atmosphere.

Sad atmosphere-Average Food. I ate at Linda Peru last night (the one near Chesnut) because I could not get into Mamacita's. This place was empty (not a good sign!) and we were hungry-so we settled. I wish I had gone to Pluto's next door instead.

The food was very average. I am not saying it was BAD, just average. Homemade food slapped on a plate, put in front of you. There was lots of white rice and bread and other uninteresting fillers. The sangria was good (I will give them that) but my fried fish was greasy and the oil tasted old. The fish also came SANS any sauce, it needed sauce. My dining partner had the lamb with a green sauce and he loved it-but he is Irish so anything lamb is good for him, and being from Ireland he is not as picky about his food. (no offense to Irish cuisine, but he is old school Irish and was forced to eat bad food in the boarding schools in the 60's in Ireland-so for him, anything is usually pretty good!)

I thought the fried yucca was pretty good, although nothing special. The yelow dipping sauce that it came with helped save the dish from being a total bore.

The bill was over 100 bucks for three of us, not worth it at all! Very mediocre food, overpriced-no ambiance, and I won't go there again. Go to Pluto's instead.

Delicious chicken and rice!. We recently went here on a whim, and it was delicious. Great friendly service, nothing fancy inside but the food was fresh, the chicken and rice with corn were tasty and the kebab apps were tasty! A good place for big families and authentic peruvian.
