No fine dining at La Brasa, it's strictly counter service.  Place you order, get your ticket and wait for your number to be called.  The place is usually busy, so there could be a short wait.  As for the food, it's worth waiting for.  Their Lomo Saltado is very good and the fries are above average for a Peruvian place. Portions are huge, so be prepared to eat what you get the following day as leftovers.

Peruvians will tell you the food at Aromas Del Peru is right on the money for a taste of home.  For an appetizer try the Papa a la Huancaina; boiled potatoes served on lettuce leaves with a creamy white sauce topped with a slice of boiled egg.  This dish's flavors are balanced so that it's not ridiculously spicy to where you can't even taste the flavor just the spiciness. Order the Ceviche as well. They make an excellent Lomo Saltado and Tallarines Verdes (spaghetti with a  creamy sauce made from spinach and basil).
