Food is amazing! My first time trying Peruvian food. And the ambiance made me want to try more things on the menu! They have many things so we are trying to try everything.

Picarones

Absolutely Delicious! A True Taste of Peru I had an incredible lunch experience at this Peruvian restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the warm hospitality and vibrant set the tone for a memorable meal. The lomo saltado was flavorful and tender, served with crispy fries and perfectly cooked rice. The Chanfainita perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. And the Picarones Desert Cripsy on the outside fluffy inside Amazing Delicious Brought me back Home. One of the best Peruvian restaurant! In the Antioch Area with a Variety of Plates and Desserts. Will definitely comeback!

Sandwich de Chicarron! Yum!
Carl B.

My first time here, was pleasantly surprised to see that this place had a small display with pastries and a little grocery section for what i figured were peruvian imports Love it, was looking for Mate de Coca, but i settled for a glass of cold Chicha de Amarillo. The sandwich de chicarron, very good. the bread is soft and seen homemade. Overall, delicious

So for does that went to their grand opening, and like it , I have good news they have a brand new menu and more items. I probably will not be coming back, it was overpriced and overrated. The food was ok , the packaging was 5/5 but the food was 3/5 , I ordered a Pan con lomo might as well be a Pan with onion, I tried for the first time yuca fries , not sure if they are supposed to be hard and chewy , so I can't rate that. I also got a box of Alfajores those were 5/5, in total with the Torta, yuca fries and cookies I spend $38.92 including a tip of 15%. The restaurant is nice and clean , customer service is good. Parking lot on the street or across or on the side.

Beef empanada

I live in Oakley and I really wanted empanadas. We have two regular Mexican places we go to but no empanadas. I searched and found this place. Totally awesome. Small business owner, center of Antioch. I recommend it

Glad to see a new restaurant in downtown Antioch. Friendly workers, Lots of seating and easy to find parking next door. We ordered: Lomo Saltado (4.5/5) very good but i can't justify paying $18 for this plate. It's not a lot of food either. Pan con Chicharrón (4.5/5) this was so good. I loved the pickled onions with the sweetness of mashed sweet potatoes and the chicharrón. Now the little orange sauce they serve is booomb! I'd probably be back for the pan con chicharrón. * Sorry no food pictures, hunger won

Awesome peruvian food

Mom and pops Peruvian restaurant. Cozy home style restaurant on 2nd St. Been taking family a few times now. We always have a great time. Strongly recommend the food!

They charge you an xtra dollar when u use your debit card . they dont even tell u that
John W.

I hope you pay attention . This business does NOT have a server. BUT they expect you to leave a LARGE tip. DON'T be like other naive and ignorant ppl that never check their bills. First time i went this year for Picarones, they're good , i cannot lie. I ordered an alfajor. It was COLD as an ice-cream. I have to get what I order at the register. The prices that they have on the menu are NOT as they are on they POS (computer). My second visit they told me that they ONLY serve picarones on Saturdays. Once again I have to pick up what I order from the counter. I did not have enough CA$H , so I almost pay with my debit card. THIS THIEF ADDED THE %18 tip . they do not have the NO TIP-Option on their payment device. As soon I notice he got embarrassed. I was like WHAT THE HECK?!!!!!. i borrowed some cashed from my friend. The Thief did not give me my change back. I had to ask him twice for my change.

Great service and portion was huge. The lamb was delish! If felt like if you're at home.

I love Peruvian food, so I was really excited to try this restaurant! I ordered four empanadas and an alfajor. I asked for one of empanadas to be served warm so I could eat one on the drive home, but unfortunately they didn't taste fresh they had that freezer like flavor.. I waited until I got home to reheat them hoping they'd improve, but they still tasted the same! I probably won't order the empanadas again. I was a bit disappointed with the filling I wasn't a fan of it! I paid $32.78, so you can understand my frustration with receiving something that didn't feel up to quality. It seemed like they were beef picadillo style. I thought they'd be Peruvian style beef empanadas that usually include olives, egg, and raisins, but that was my fault for not asking and I assuming all places made them the same, but I don't recall seeing a description of the filling so maybe they could improve that on their end as well. The alfajor was good. Overall customer experience was friendly and fast! Something to keep in mind the pricing shown in their yelp menu images is completely different from the prices on their website. I didn't realize that until I was already there! Perhaps I'll give them another try in the future, but not anytime soon! Overall, I was disappointed with my experience.

Abuelita's House is one of my favorites places to go. The food is very tasty, very authentic and it is like you are eating at home. My daughter loves the tallarines verdes, the sweets and desserts they have. The service is great and very attentive. I definitely recommend this place.

Arroz chaufa con carne
Angie L.

Quality Peruvian food on this side of the Bay. They offer a variety of sandwiches, entrees and dessert. The fresh juices are made to order and affordable. They give you big food portions at decent prices compared to other Peruvian spots.

If it's Sunday and you're not at Abuelita's house than you're in the wrong place! Como buena peruana me desperté con antojo de pan con pollo y mi tamalito dominguero. No encuentro mejor lugar que este para buena comida y ambiente familiar. Me gusta que siempre me reciben muy alegres los dueños. Vengan y pidan un pan con pollo y agradézcanme después

We went there for the first time, but pretty soon realized we will be back. We started with mango iced tea and guava lemonade, both are good although guava flavor is just amazing! Our strters were: marbeled potatoes and chicken empanadas. The empanadas are so good and freshly made that you can taste them. I don't particularly like caviar, so other than that topping the potatoes were very good! We ordered jerk chicken sandwich and curry chicken burrito. Both comes with pickled salads on the side, burrito with chips and sandwich with seasoned fries. The burrito is amazing, inside there's chicken in curry, avocado and other vegetables. The outside is little crisp and perfect! The jerk chicken the inside was next level, they really know how to cook their chicken (I always wondered why they be call "jerk chicken", I know now ). The bread was a little bit greasy but the chicken is just phenomenal. For dessert, we ordered coconut gelato. And I never had coconut anything that good, hands down best gelato I have ever tasted. It is not over sweet, creamy and smooth and so perfectly coconut-y. Definitely worth trying out if you haven't. Btw service was great too. Will visit again.

Wait staff was a bit too pretentious. I'm not sure who our server was. One girl seated us. Another took our order. A man took our drink order. A different person brought the drinks. A different person brought the food and then our original server presented the bill. When I ordered a cocktail, the man sorted of dismissed it and said we don't serve that particular alcohol here and made me feel like I was wrong (it was a drink I've had nearly everywhere I've ever eaten). During the course of the dinner it felt like the theme of the night was "no" - no, you can't get that cocktail. No you can't mix the empanadas, no you can't get that dessert to go. The food was good, though it was served past the peak of temperature and was more warm than piping hot. You can't simply have attitude and then be selectively excellent. For the attitude and the price - I would expect more accommodation, kindness and consistent service. When you have 3 Michelin stars you can get uppity. For now it's a good spot with good food - but not a place I'd go to impress.

I've never had sauce like that! Overall you really can't miss with anything you order. The churrasco ordered by my neighbor looked bomb too.

Nice ambiance, they have a full bar and TVs for sports.

The menu items didn't particularly catch my eye, and I'd say it seems better for tapas than entrees. A lot of the food tasted overly sweet as well. Overall, everything was decent but not amazing. While customer service was super friendly, I found this the most disappointing aspect of the experience. I had to flag down our server a few times, even with being the only customers inside. We were celebrating my brother's birthday, and our dessert cake was served without any utensils until flagging down another server, who then prompted our table's server to make their way over. RECS: + Empanadas platter ($25) nicely came with one of each flavor for a total of four, and it was very fun to share! I did find it odd for these to be covered in powdered sugar though. Personal favorites were the beef and corn-cheese empanadas! + Fried plantains ($10) were perfectly caramelized and soft + Homemade chips ($6) became a family hit! I believe it's cassava root but not 100% sure

Me and some family were running around the area prepping for a party later that night and picking up a cake. We stopped by here for a couple of apps and beverages for a small break.

This time, however, it was a completely different. What kind of restaurant has this become? There was no one at the reception when we arrived. A person who was cleaning the tables was the one who seated us. A little later, a young woman came over looking quite unkempt and dressed in sport clothing. She casually handed us menus that were stained and dirty. It seemed as though the restaurant has no standards for uniforms or customer service protocols. This is an expensive restaurant, so having menus and service like that is unacceptable--it's not a fast-food restaurant. She had no knowledge of the menu. We asked about both the food and drink selections, and she couldn't make a single recommendation or explain any of the dishes. It was honestly embarrassing. The restaurant was almost empty, with only one or two occupied tables. Then another server came over, who also appeared to work there, but somehow the experience became even worse. She didn't seem to understand us, spoke extremely slowly, appeared very nervous, wasn't listening, and honestly seemed either unwell or simply uninterested in working. It was unbelievable. The only person who was truly helpful was the men cleaning the tables. He brought us more water, and we even ended up ordering part of our meal through him because the server never came back to our table. The food itself was good, and the drinks were poor. I expected much better drinks since we saw two people working behind the bar. Overall, I feel the restaurant has lost its standards, and it clearly shows in both the service and the overall presentation. Our server never returned to check on us, and we eventually had to get up ourselves to ask for the check. By then, we'd completely lost any interest in ordering dessert. The food was good, although the portions seemed small considering the prices. What frustrated us most was that our food arrived before our drinks. I don't believe that was the chef's or kitchen's fault. it was clearly a service issue, especially considering the restaurant was nowhere near busy. We've honestly received better service at fast-food restaurants. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a luxurious atmosphere, but the service is simply depressing. They need to improve or completely overhaul their service if they want customers to come back.
