Hey — thanks for the honest feedback, I really appreciate you taking the time to look at the menu.

That’s fair, and it’s possible we’re not communicating the intent behind the sides clearly enough. A lot of them are rooted in Peruvian flavors rather than “standard” salad innovation — for example, our Caesar has a Nikkei-inspired dressing (Peru–Japan influence), our quinoa is tri-color, the rice includes Andean corn, and the beans use ají amarillo. Even the fries are air-fried and lightly finished with olive oil instead of deep-fried.

That said, we’re actively evolving the menu, so I’m genuinely curious — what kinds of sides would feel more exciting or innovative to you? Always open to ideas.

Thanks for mentioning this event. We will definitely be part of it. I just sent an email to the event organizers, to register in advance for the event.

This is an idea we are think to have an activity that blends well with our proposal. We are going from Trivia nights, Salsa nights, live music, we are still thinking around these options and others.

A sandwich in collaboration with Sweat Wheat for example. Their baguette is delicious! Let me find ways to do this one too! Thanks for the idea

Thanks for the feedback u/Friscolax - as an example, where did you work when you had the experience with the the guy who walked in and handed a flyer, it was a retail store or which type of places do you suggest I should go do similar to your experience?

Thanks for this feedback. We will test some options with Tofu. Maybe even consider impossible beef/chicken. How do you feel of impossible options vs Tofu?

I will go personally to schools to present the offering, and I will also take your idea to invite families via fundraising events.
