First, I want to say that the food was great. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. This was our first visit after being recommended by a friend. We arrived around 8:30 p.m. and were seated immediately. The hostess was incredibly sweet and attentive throughout our visit, especially since our server took our order and never returned to check on us again. We ordered the corvina ceviche, traditional wok with chicken, churrasco, and a side of plantains. The ceviche took approximately 20-25 minutes to arrive, and our entrees didn't come out until nearly 50 minutes after we ordered in which our steak was overcooked and definitely not medium. Meanwhile, the table next to us was seated after us and received their meals within about 15 minutes. By that point, it was already 9:30 p.m., and we were understandably frustrated, especially since our son doesn't eat ceviche and had been waiting the entire time for his meal. The manager came over, apologized, and explained that he wasn't sure what had happened with our order. We appreciated that he took the time to address the situation and offered us dessert. However, by then it was approaching 9:45 p.m., and we were ready to get the check and head home. The food was genuinely very good, which makes the experience even more disappointing. We're undecided about whether we'll return, but we hope this was simply an off night because the kitchen clearly has a lot of potential. read more

We took the walk down to this location which we enjoyed the atmosphere. The fish was DELISHHHH!!!!! The presentation is beyond amazing! Love how the dishes are displayed. We had an amazing time. He also had the fish (I'm keeping him healthy. ). The service was great. It was a delightful and such a happy moment for me. If you enjoy Peruvian food and a pretty location then you must try this spot... it's a must try... it's a perfect location; the walk to the beach and then his home was ideal. Peaceful. Awesomeness... read more

Love love love their Pollo Saltado! Once I saw that I was able to get this on the menu I was sold. I went here for dinner and was able to just walk a few minutes and be at the beach which was a plus. Everything we tried was delicious and I will definitely be making a return. They offer indoor and outdoor seating, but it was a bit too windy outside for my liking so I opted for indoor. There is plenty of street parking around, I did go here on a weekday so not sure how busy it gets during peak hours/days. read more

Aromas del Peru - Pollo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

We chose Aromas del Peru for dinner and it hit the spot like a perfectly timed sunset after a long beach day. We started with a couple piscojitos--a refreshing cross between a pisco sour and a mojito. Bright and crisp with an excellent presentation. We skipped traditional appetizers and snacked on cancha ("big corn") served with a green aji sauce. The corn was toasted until light and fluffy, while the sauce brought a garlicky, herby heat that lingered just enough to keep things interesting. For entrées, we ordered the beef lomo saltado and the risotto huancaína lomo. Both dishes delivered the rich, comforting flavors you'd expect--savory, satisfying, and excellently prepared. This is the kind of food that feels familiar and exciting at the same time and will keep me coming back for more! Great atmosphere, attentive service that greeted us at the door, and a relaxed but polished vibe. I've always been impressed by the hospitality & quality of Peruvian restaurants in South Florida. Unfortunately, some of my favorites have since closed. I encourage the community to support Aromas, as they are a delicious option and one I hope to visit many more times. read more

This place has great service and a very lovely ambiance. There were plenty of indoor and outdoor tables. The food was quite good. We have the chicken fried rice, and the chicken loma saltado. The loma salted came with rice and fries- though the fries were delicious it was a tad carb heavy and when i took the fries off the plate there really was t much chicken or veggies left. The green sauce was delicious. I also ordered the sarsa criolla. It was ok but lacked flavor. Overall this was a nice place but I would probably try a different food item if I were to return. read more

Day 3 in Fort Lauderdale We decided on Peruvian cuisine at Aromas del Peru Pompano in Pompano & it did not disappoint! Started off with a piscojito, maracuyá pisco sour, & a passionfruit margarita. For appetizers, we shared causa with shrimp & chicken along with a shrimp tempura roll topped with passionfruit. For entrées, we went with the classic chicken ají de gallina & the beef lomo saltado. Everything was delicious, but the ají de gallina stole the show--comfort food! read more

We went for the 1st time with 2 other couples. It's a yummy, neighborhood place that's nice casual. Full bar, many food options. Service was spotty for the amount of tables, we looked for our server multiple times. The Pico sour was yummy. We had a unique app, which had avocado, mashed potatoes and cut up shrimp that was presented in a round shape with sauce on it, we enjoyed. Dinner I had corvina with steamed veggies. It was good, the veggies tho were overcooked. Husb had Peruvian stew (like seafood soup) had lotsa calamari, some fish, shrimp, clams, mussels he enjoyed. Several dessert options we had something like a cheesecake. Overall a good experience, if down in the area you we'd go back, try diff items. read more

One of the best parts of visiting South Florida is the incredible variety of food you get to experience, and Peruvian cuisine has become a must-have for us over the years. We first discovered it in Hollywood Beach, FL, and have been huge fans ever since. Unfortunately, our three favorite Peruvian spots have all permanently closed, so on this trip we were on the hunt for a worthy replacement--and that led us to Aromas del Peru. Right off the bat, things started strong. There was plenty of parking (not always easy to find in South Florida), the restaurant was easy to locate, and we were greeted immediately with no wait to be seated. Our server was friendly, welcoming, and very efficient throughout the meal. For drinks, we both ordered the passion fruit piscojito, and wow--the presentation alone was an 11/10. Even better, the drink itself was incredibly refreshing and perfectly balanced. I have a serious weakness for Risotto Huancaína Lomado, and Aromas del Peru's version absolutely held its own against some of the best I've had. The risotto was rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned, and the steak was cooked exactly to order (medium). Overall, our experience was wonderful from start to finish. Aromas del Peru has officially earned a spot on our must-visit list, and we'll definitely be back on future trips to the area. read more

I got take out. So so good. And if you order through their website you get a discount and the seco de cabrito is way cheaper then it is in the restaurant. They did a great job separating the items so everything stayed tasty (except the fried yuca, that was in the stew) But I saved literally $41 just by ordering online. Same meals. But this time we just used our own still and sparkling water from home. read more

When you walk in the ambiance is warm and inviting. It is nice for a date or to go with a small group of family or friends. My boyfriend and I tried the ceviche called Cholo Power, the lomo saltado and the risotto huancaina lomo saltado. To start we had canchas which were nice and warm with a spicy but yummy sauce. The ceviche tasted fresh, the sauce was delicious to the last drop. The lomo saltado was juicy and tasty, the fries were crunchy and they served the rice on the side. My favorite was the risotto huancaina lomo saltado. I would say it's the best risotto I've ever had at a Peruvian restaurant. Our server Fabio was knowledgeable and kind. He made a great recommendation for our main course. Overall I recommend and will be coming back. Food was so good only got one photo. You'll just have to try it (: read more

Another hidden gem in Pompano. The service was impeccable and the multiple servers were super attentive to our needs. Mauricio was our primary server and got everything correct. He had our appetizer out incredibly fast and got the food out quickly after we finished. The food. Absolutely fantastic, I got the churrasco medium rare and it came out perfect. It cut like butter and was so good. I honestly can't wait to come back. The bar was very nicely stocked and the bartender was super particular with his creations. The dining area is comfortable to pleasant with the perfect level of music to hold a conversation. Can't wait to come back! read more

The foods great! Just be prepared to wait an hour and a half with no one else in the restaurant! They also play popular American music; this is a Peruvian restaurant. My advice is to order door dash but you'll probably still be waiting! read more

Yum yum!!! I love Peruvian, and this is one of place I recommend. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. I also like their outdoor seating area. Again, the food is fantastic. The service can be better. They do have a lot, like a lot of crew members, but for some reason they have only one person takes order, serves food and runs checks. Meanwhile there are 5 bussing people and 5 others don't do anything. Very strange setting... besides I enjoyed everything. read more

Aromas del Peru - Fettuccine Pesto with Grilled Octopus - Peruvian Near Me - Pompano Beach, Florida

A restaurant with a menu heavy with fish offerings. The food was excellent but the service was not. We were a party of three and the restaurant was not even 20% full (an off-season weekday, a few blocks from the ocean. Two of us ordered meals that required cooking; one of us ordered an entree that was primarily sushi, the two cooked meals arrived but the third did not for 2, 4, 6, or 8 minutes. Our waitress was nowhere to be found, We had to intercept another server to ask him to inquire about our food. He did but it still did not arrive right away, Obviously, it had been forgotten. Fortunately, when it arrived, my dining companion found it quite delicious. But, the two of us, having cooked dishes, had already eaten 50% of our meal and had stopped eating. Sadly, no one thought to apologize for the fact that the three of us were not actually able to dine together at the same time. read more

Zero stars if I could. This was, without question, the worst customer service and client care experience I have ever had at a restaurant. I made a reservation for 9:45 PM and drove all the way from Boca Raton to dine here. Throughout the evening, I communicated with the restaurant multiple times -- a total of four calls between both sides. Every single time, the reservation was confirmed, and I was told the restaurant closed at 10 PM. I specifically explained that I would likely arrive around 9:55 PM and asked whether that would be an issue. The response I received was: "The restaurant closes at 10 PM. You just need to order fast." I agreed and even mentioned that I already knew exactly what I wanted to order. At around 9:40 PM, while only a few minutes away, I called again trying to help the staff by placing the order over the phone since they had mentioned the kitchen closing at 10 PM. They took my order and confirmed everything was fine. I arrived at exactly 9:59 PM, only to be told by an employee named Flavio that they would not seat us and that the order would need to be "to go." He then admitted the order had not even been placed despite previously confirming it over the phone. Instead of handling the situation professionally, he repeatedly argued that "you're late." When I explained that I had communicated with the restaurant the entire time, that the reservation itself was for 9:45 PM, and that virtually every restaurant allows a short grace period for arrival, I was met with complete disrespect. The most shocking part was when Flavio responded by saying, "It's not my problem that you drove from Boca." That level of treatment toward a customer is unacceptable. I asked if he was the manager and he said no. And I said that it makes sense because a manager would never had treated a client like this. A restaurant should not offer 9:45 PM reservations if the kitchen closes at 10 PM and there is absolutely no flexibility or tolerance for arrival time. More importantly, staff should know how to communicate with customers respectfully and professionally when issues arise. What makes this even more disappointing is that I used to recommend this restaurant to many people and visited frequently when I lived in Fort Lauderdale. Unfortunately, after the way I was treated tonight, I would never recommend this place again. To make matters worse, it appears my reservation was intentionally canceled afterward, seemingly to prevent me from leaving a review through the reservation platform. I rarely leave negative reviews, but the way this situation was handled -- from the lack of professionalism to the complete disrespect toward a paying customer -- deserves to be addressed publicly. This was genuinely one of the worst customer service experiences I have ever had. read more

I was able to make a reservation on a Sunday evening though OpenTable. I heard that it was inside a gated community, so I called them to find out how to park. I actually got an AI assistant to answer and tell me where to park. When I arrived, I was greeted immediately and sat in the bar. My bartender suggested the Pisco Sour (15 dollars), which is their famous Peruvian drink. While it wasn't that strong, it was still a very nice drink, and pretty sour with the liquor and lime juice. It was prepared very professionally with nice decorations as well. Just with that, it was worth the 15 dollars. For my entree, I decided to do something light and try the mixed traditional ceviche. It was fresh with various types of seafood like calamari, octopus, fish, and shrimp. Each fish was enjoyable with the citrus sauce they had. There was salad and corn, but the corn wasn't sweet. Both were still enjoyable! I couldn't leave without having dessert, so I tried the passion fruit mousse, which was on the sour side, but still light and refreshing. I don't think I had a sour dessert that I enjoyed more than here. The service was very friendly and professional. My bartender took great care of me and made sure I was enjoying everything. Since it was a Sunday, it wasn't too crowded, which I could hear the hip background music instead. While I sat in the bar, there was a nice dining area as well as outdoor seating too. Best of all, parking was validated, so you just had to scan the tag and you were out. I haven't had much Peruvian food before and I am so happy this introduced me to it. It was fresh, creative, and delicious. Even though it was a bit upscale, is wasn't too expensive either. And it was walking distance from the beach. This was such a great value for high quality food and drinks. This definitely a must visit for great Peruvian food in the Pompano Beach area. read more

This place is officially one of my new favorites! The food was absolutely delicious, you could taste how fresh every single ingredient was. The presentation? Stunning. The dishes looked like artwork and the flavors lived up to every bit of it. Rich, perfectly balanced, and so satisfying. The portions were more than enough (honestly could've shared), and every bite had me wanting more. You can tell the chefs really put love and skill into the plating and preparation. The restaurant itself had such classy, minimal vibes, upscale but not overdone. Super comfortable and relaxing atmosphere, perfect for a nice night out. Also, the location was great, easy to find and well worth the visit. Definitely coming back! read more

Glad I finally got to try this spot. Came here with my family on a Sunday evening. It looks nice inside. The food was good but the portions were not generous especially considering that the prices were on the high side. The service was pleasant although everything felt a bit rushed. I tried Huancaina con lomo - this was a beef lomo saltado mixed with risotto in a spicy creamy sauce. It was my first time trying the huancaina and I really enjoyed it. Very flavorful. The lomo was good as well. I've had lomo combo dishes at nice Peruvian spots in the past for the same price but was given more protein at these other places. Still a great dish, just feel it should have had more protein. 4/5 ($29) For appetizer we had their shrimp causa which was good but so small. There were 4 of us and we each had one or two bites surprisingly small portion for an $18 appetizer. I also had some of their salmon, which was cooked to perfection. Their Parillero roll was also tasty but on the pricier side as well. We also had their mint lemonade which was charged as a mocktail at $11 each, these were also good, but again, overpriced. We enjoyed our food but considering the high prices it would have been nice to not feel so rushed and be given a chance to sort of mellow out and enjoy ourselves. Had we not felt so rushed and they were a bit more generous with their portions this place could easily be a perfect 5. It's still worth a visit if you're in the area. read more

From out of town and went to celebrate a birthday, the food was delicious and our service was pretty good. We asked our server at the end of the meal if they do anything for birthdays and our server indicated and said that we could have a free dessert. They proceeded to bring out a tray and showed us the options. When we looked at the receipt again after leaving the restaurant we saw on our tab that we were charged for our birthday dessert. We called the restaurant and after a few minutes of explaining what happened, we were told all they could do is comp us a dessert next time we come in. We will not be returning to the restaurant. Also, the water is not free. read more

This is a relatively new restaurant (was told it was opened 2 years ago) but this was my first time coming here. I was at the beach playing volleyball and needed something refreshing for lunch. What better food to feel healthy and rejuvenated than a good tropical ceviche with a chicha morada to quench your thirst. It was a saturday afternoon. One really great but less known perk is they have free parking for 2 hours in the building. Once you enter the premises, just follow the sign via the gate all the way to the back side of the restaurant. It isn't quite evident from the outside but it is there. There is no parking ticket but you press the call button and a real human, I know, how unique in these days of AI right ;) ...will answer and open the gate for you. Once you park, you walk to the front of the restaurant again to enter. As soon as you walk, you are welcomed by a friendly manager and this big sign of "Aromas del Peru" on the wall. I really loved the interior. The place is not huge but designed well. It has a huge alcohol rack on the other side of the wall. I was given a small tray of roasted peruvian corn (a staple in all peruvian restaurants in the US) but their unique touch is the green sauce that accompanied it. That is hands down the best spicy sauce I ever had from Peruvian cuisine. I would go again just for this sauce alone. The roasted corn was fresh too. Now, the main dish: Ceviche. I opted for their traditional ceviche(mixto). It came in a really interesting ceramic plate that is well designed for ceviche. That rough looking surface provided an tropical feel. Even the spork (spoon+fork) provided was so appropriate for ceviche. Great job on the design and the presentation overall. Portion was small but it was really tasty. My only complain was that at $7.50, chicha morada was expensive. Service: Nicolai was a new staff member but he took good care of the patrons. Young, energetic and sweet to talk to. read more

Best Peruvian I've had in years. As someone who has visited the country of Peru, this statement speaks volumes. In search of a Peruvian dinner, I came across Aromas del Peru. An establishment with a few locations across south Florida and to my surprise, exceptional ratings across the board so naturally I was highly anticipating our reservation. I was not disappointed. The moment we entered, we were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful ambience and seated promptly. The Pompano location offers plenty of indoor and outdoor seating suitable for solo diners to large dinner parties. The building is conveniently attached to a garage and located walking distance to the beach. The service was absolutely stellar. You'll be treated like their favorite regular. Their staff had plenty of smiles which I loved. The ceviche sampler was plenty for a party of 4 to share. Each variation was delicious and incredibly fresh. The pisco sour and lomo saltado are an absolute must. The desserts here are another amazing highlight. The menu is wide and diverse. For anyone looking for an incredible Peruvian restaurant combined with a stellar experience and chic ambience, this is for you. read more

My dining partner is Peruvian and said the Lomo Saltado was one of the best he's had in a while. Unfortunately that was the blurriest of photos I took so the photo didn't do it justice.

We had a good dinner here. Having both been to Peru, we were pleased to find that the flavors and menu items really did capture the aromas of Peru.

If you're looking for ceviche then this place is it. Their flavor was just perfect. Not too limey. The fish melted in my mouth. Also my other favorite was their risotto. Their steak was also very tender. My husband and I needed help choosing food on the menu but the waitress gave such good suggestions! When it came to the dessert she brought out a whole display of what each dessert looked like. Which was super helpful for an indecisive person like me. This place also was beautiful and nice inside. Plenty of seating and it looked higher class. Perfect for date night. I must say it was about the same price as some other places that would've given more but this place has great flavor that I would prefer to pay for this instead. read more

I took my parents out to dinner for her birthday. We picked this restaurant because of the variety it offered. I had a Piscojito Marqcuya (Pisco 1615 Mosto Verde with lime, fresh mint, and passionfruit juice) which was beautifully presented and tasted very good. My parents had a glass of Balduzzi Merlot. For our meals we had the Huancaina con Lomo (Lomo Saltado which is the perfect Peruvian/Cantonese fusion, wok stir-fry sauteed, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, wine and soy sauce served with Creamy Parmesan Cheese Risotto) and the Veggie Papardelle Salmon (Salmon with steamed vegetables and fried sweet plantain). Dessert consisted of Cuatro Leches (a soft, moist, and sweet cake that's soaked in four different milk flavors - whole milk, evaporated milk, condensed milk, and heavy cream) and Suspiro Limeno (a traditional Peruvian dessert combining the silkiness of a golden custard base crowned with a light and creamy liqueur meringue sprinkled with nutmeg). The Cuatro Leches was not too liquidly which we prefer. Our server Medalith was very attentive. She assumed we spoke Spanish so we did our best to communicate with her in Spanish. The restuarant appears to be very popular with families. It is located at the corner of an office complex and provides free parking up to 2 hours. read more

Went for my sisters birthday and had a good time. The food was pretty good and the service was really good as well. We had a rather large group (9 ppl).. but the food came out pretty quickly... and the staff was friendly and attentive. PARKING TIP: The restaurant is located on the nw corner of atlantic and ocean.. If you make a left turn (north) on riverside (next street west of ocean) and go straight ... you will see a huge city owned lot on the right-hand side.. way easier than looking for parking on ocean.. and I dont think ppl know it's there because it's not easily visible from the main streets. From the lot u can cut through the garage right next to the restaurant. read more
