I came here for lunch with one of my friends who is Vegan and gluten-free. We originally tried to order something for her from the brunch menu--arepas, but the cook said that the cheese was already mixed in. They instead brought out the dinner menu where my friend was able to find something fulfilling that would also be kind to her tummy. Not only that, but her quinoa salad was absolutely to die for! We originally chose Panka because they were giving away free coffee for Latino Restaurant Week and were pleasantly surprised that they not only had a brunch menu, but that they are absolute perfectionists when it comes to execution of their food. You could taste the pride in every bite! We can't wait to come back here! You wouldn't think that it would be much in a little strip, but this restaurant is beautiful inside! They also have outdoor seating but there's a little bit of construction going on right now. Definitely one to put on your list!

Authentic Peruvian! They are very accommodating for celiac (gluten-allergy), and there are a lot of options. The food was really great- we had the arroz y mariscos and it reminded us of our time in Peru. Highly recommend
