Found this place just by walking around and stopped in because I was in the mood for sangria! Delicious Peruvian sangria; a little differnet from Spanish sangria, not as fruity, but still good. I couldn't stay for dinner since I had another engagement but I had an appetizer (yuca) and it was quite yummy. The decor and atmosphere are superb! I look forward to going back real soon.

I am Asian and may not know the difference, but I do care about food, value and service. We had a small birthday dinner here today and it was fabulous. Service was good, but could be because the restaurant was not packed tonight. The Fritos and Octopus cerviche was yummy. Then we shared 3 main courses and all 3 were flavorful and fresh. If you like a strong cup of java, you can't go wrong here and my friend said the mojito was really good. I want to know how they make that rice, beans and potato mixture served with that skirt steak. Get me a small salad along with this rice, I can eat it every other night.

my friend and I tried a number of small plate items 1st an appetizer sampler which consisted of 4 items: causa marina (peruvian yellow potato with crab & avocado) my friends favorite beautifully presented, the chef's signature cebiche of snapper, octopus, mussels to die for, tabouli and choros a la chalaca (mussels with red onion). a great sampling of the fresh flavorful heavenly food this restaurant serves. im used to arabic tabouli -- this was made with quinoa rather than bulgar and full of flavor citrus explosion. the missels were also wonderful and loaded with finely chopped red onion so expect to stink and enjoy! approx $18 & worth every penny we went on to have the snapper cebiche served with 3 different sauces 1 red 1 citrus 1 cream all 3 glorious a good experience and would order again. approx $12 lastly we tasted the anticucho de corazon (marinated beef skewers) which were not the best cut of meat but flavorful and fantastic. not my favorite of the night but great flavor, spicy but not overwhelming. approx $9 do not forget the SANGARIA you'll come back from more! going back to this restaurant asap. good food, reasonable prices, a very nice night out with friends.

We've not gone to this neighborhood restaurant for some time, mainly because we'd not heard much of it. But we were pleasantly surprised on a weeknight to find plenty seating outside (charming seating inside), delicious cocktails, tender and flavorful ceviche, and delicious, well-cooked entrees. The meat was tender and perfectly cooked; the quinoa risotto is out of this world. We're putting this on our neighborhood list of go-tos.

I've been to Panca two times. Although it sounds unbelievable, on both occasions, my guests and I (people from other countries, whom I was showing the Peruvian cousine) had to wait more than 1 hour between the appetizers and the main courses. On this last occasion, one of my friends was even told, an hour after ordering, that his dish could not be done for lack of lemon! One of the most basic ingredients in Peruvian dishes! It was horrible, and I felt ashamed. Upon complaining, different excuses were given, none satisfactory. Another friend asked for the manager and the waiter told us that he was not available, and could not tell me when he would be available. The food that did arrive to the table was good (but not exceptional), however the service is certainly not worth it. I regret to write this review, since I am Peruvian, but I recommend everyone not to waist their time and money in this restaurant. Lastly, if you're ever in this situation, and are offered free desserts by the waiter, be warned that this means only ONE dessert (and you don't get to choose which), even if you have a group of six.

This restaurant is great for friends or a date. The food is second to known for its Peruvian Dishes are the real deal. I am half Peruvian myself and Panca's brought me back to my childhood. I recommend this restaurant.

Since my friends recommended me to go to this restaurant I finally went there and loved the food. I'm Peruvian and I have to say.....its sooooo good Peruvian food!.....I so recommend it to averyone.
