Fuego Restaurant (Peruvian Fusion)
Fusion restaurant
👍👍 I was going to give them a 4 because there is a bit of wait, but I gave the star back because I feel it is the reason for the quality of the food. I am not a Peruvian food expert at all. I don't even know the names of all the dishes or any popular dishes! But I was in the neighborhood and the signa...

Super Pizza Veloz

😠 Pizza was actually good. Can't say the same for customer service. I had ordered their 2-pizza 2-topping deal. I wanted to see if one side of the pizza could only get 1 topping and give the other topping to the other side (some pizza places do this). She said they would charge extra, but I explained...

Taqueria Periban Inc.
Mexican restaurant
😐 I try pork carnitas in other places, and this place have to be the number one place for carnitas. The carnitas have an excellent taste and you will come back for more. I would give them 5 stars if the owners and staff allow the people eat and not remind people about Covid restrictions.
