We waited a while before our food came, others didn't. There was only one waitress and she talk (and talked) with the neighborhood crowd which slows things down a bit. The place is clean and the food was good, but like all things the prices have gone up. There was no problem parking. They have a few TV screens to pass the time. They expanded so there is plenty of seating. The food was fresh and well seasoned. I give it 3 stars because of the wait. The food was a 4. I'll go back and try the chicken, but it may be a minute.

I've posted a review for our favorite Peruvian restaurant as 5-stars before, but don't see it here…read more So this isn't spamming, but rather reiterating multiple great experiences we've had, now in summary form. Allison and Alma were fantastic servers. 4 visits, 2 servers, consistently great service. Regular water refills and check ins. Mark of a great experience! The first 2 visits found ourselves in a cute restaurant, but at some point at the beginning of 2026, they leveled up to beautiful decor. Or guaranteed order is the Lomo Saltado. The top sirloin is cooked with care to be just medium cooked and no more, so it's tender. This is stir fried over potatoes AND jasmine rice, which marries very well, so withdraw those reservations. And The Star of the show is stir fried onion, tomato, and sauce. Sooo good! Our new favorite, which surprised the bejeezus out of us was their empanadas criollas. We got the chicken (phenomenal) and the shrimp & cheese (door-stopper award)! The crusty is a combination of fluffy, puffy, crispy, soft, and doughy. Beats out the famous LA place our friends introduced us to. To finish off my summary Pescado con Langostinos. This fried fish and shrimp is in a creamy savory yellow crème sauce with rice. Very yummy. Will be returning soon!

The empanadas were very tasty and the main plates were delicious. Service was sweet and our lovely server gave us some great recommendations. So fresh and hot which I appreciated.

On a whim we decided to get lunch, and we chose La Huaca without much thought. Oh, have I have been…read moremissing out on this special place. The location is great, easy access and plenty of parking. We were warmly greeted. We got our table and soon were greeted by Yessey. She is from Peru and was very detailed in her explanations on all things relevant to our visit. She was great! We pondered the menu before choosing to go with the buffet which is not my typical move as I have my reservations about food safety at buffets but after inspecting it carefully, I chose to roll the dice. It was great roll of the dice. The food was fresh! Both the salad bar and the hot food offerings. It was all tasty! And it was unique to Peru. We sat down to enjoy our meal and after looking around I understood why the place 'felt' good. It was clean and well appointed. Not too many decorations or tables jammed together. There was space which is luxurious in my book. I liked the vibe. The window seals could use a cleaning but if that's all that I could complain about then were doing very good at La Huaca!

It's a place where you can enjoy amazing food and great service every time. Highly recommend!

Service was quick, we got the Maracuya passion fruit juice, yucca fries. My friend got the Chaufa Especial which was fried rice with prawns, chicken, beef, and egg. I got the Saltado de Mariscod which was sautéed seafood with rice and fries. I def feel like it's a little more on the oilier side but still very good especially with the sauce! We had leftovers and the next day I added more rice to compensate for the oil and sauce.

My only wish is that they would remove the corn-like ingredient that comes in the dish, as I prefer it without it like they serve it at the Roseville location. I also really enjoy the Maracuyá, the flavor is always great. The beef empanadas are filling, the Fettuccine Huancaína has a delicious, flavorful sauce, and the fried plantains always taste fresh. The plantains and yuca are usually great as well. The servers are always nice, and the restaurant itself is clean and nicely decorated. My only minor complaint is that the bathrooms sometimes don't smell the best. Overall, though, I've had consistently good experiences here, especially with the Arroz Con Mariscos.

One surprise was finding out this location doesn't have beer on draft. Apparently, the Midtown location does, so we may have to check that one out next time. Overall, a solid Peruvian spot and definitely somewhere I'd come back to try more dishes.

Hands down, out of all of the samosas I have enjoyed, both from restaurants and homemade, the veggie samosas I devoured from MK's International Kitchen's are in my top five fav samosas and the dipping sauce is perfection. Now on to the bolitas de Yucca. I had to stop myself from eating all of the scrumptious bolitas de Yuca in one sitting because these were THAT flavorful and crispy. For the Coconut Quinoa Rice with Chipotle Coconut Steak, my friend's reaction after her first helping sums it all up--"Wow!" Marie Kay went above and beyond to demonstrate quality customer service, especially when it came to my food allergies. She even went as far as double checking the specific ingredients I'm allergic to before preparing and cooking my orders. If you want to enjoy meals that are food for your soul and made with love and high standard of quality, by a talented chef who cares about her customers like she cares about her family, please support Marie Kay as you treat your bellies!

After staring at the menu for a few minutes we had to tell them we're ready to order, apparently we interrupted their conversation. The food on our last visit was subpar by anyone's standards. Wanting to finally try their Mexican food, I ordered the fajitas. This came out as almost a soup floating in the iron plate. Her mixed Saltado was missing any sauce / gravy. I can't see us spending anymore money nor wasting anymore time here... moving on.

Al Carbon is a Peruvian restaurant that specializes in Pollo A la Brasa or Peruvian Rotisserie…read morechicken. We recently returned from Peru and love the chicken there. The restaurant is small and has several tables. We ordred via doordash for pickup, as delivery was very expensive. This restaurant also has a location in Modesto. 4.6 on Doordash, only 3.4 on Yelp, 4.0 on Google. Food Review: Whole chicken ($49.85) comes with 2 sides and aji sauce. We got Rice and beans plus Sweet Potato fries as sides, both were very good. The chicken is cut into quarters and is not huge. I could see the Rotisserie spinning when picking up the food. The meat was tender and flavorful, especially the skin. Not as juicy as in Peru, but pretty good for the US. Better than Limon. 8.5/10 Chica Morada ($5 Large) is a purple corn drink we learned to like in Peru. Very sweet but a solid version. Limon was better. 8.5/10 Overall - Very Good Food - Very Good Decor - Good Service - Good Value - Good Would we come back - Yes
