    Took a break from Disneyland and wanted to eat Peruvian. Glad I came across this place! Food is excellent! Highly recommend this restaurant you won't be disappointed!

    Amazing food, ceviche was great. LOVED the anticuchos and chicha morada. Waitress was super sweet and attentive!! loved the music and the vibe in here :) would definitely recommend if you're in the area !!

    Ceviche Mixto

    Best Peruvian in town IMO. Already been twice and Eli our server is one of the best. Ambiance is nice- small place - they are so kind and accommodating. I highly recommend their chaufa mixto. The Aji verde salsa is a bit too mayo'ey but the rest of the food- amazing !

    Wanna start off by saying it speaks volume when an owner takes a time to address even the minor things. The ceviche mixto picante buenaso. The ambience of the restaurant and the different styles of plating elevates this restaurant above other ones. Gracias ceviche 19. Chèvre

    Not my favorite Peruvian restaurant but I only come here because my uncle likes the ceviche here. Which it is good to. Well the one that he got this day. He said the other ones weren't as good as this one. What I didn't like.... That they brought out my uncle's ceviche first and we waiting awhile for my plate. That's my uncle's pet peeve. Not getting our food at the same time. I understand cold food comes out first. But they didn't have to bring it at once. They should've brought it all out together. The tallarín a la huancaina was spicy. No where on the menu did say it was spicy. I wouldn't have gotten it if it was. The server never came to ask if everything was OK after we got our dishes. He didn't ask if you needed anything. I had to ask him for a spoon. I had to ask him for the water. Overall service and food can be better. It's nothing to hype, it's not a place I will take people to eat from out of town. The chicha morada was soooo good that I loved. I wanted anticuchos and they didn't have any of the cows heart that day. What I did HATE was that they had a dog in the restaurant. I understand if it was a service dog, but this dog would not stop barking. It was so annoying. I was going to complain, but the owner of the dog left a couple minutes after.

    Great spot for Peruvian food! Not too crowded on a Friday for dinner. They have some booths or regular table seating as well. For our appetizer, we got the Piqueo Fragata, a sampler of three different dishes--fish ceviche, arroz con mariscos, and chicharron de pescado. Perfect for me, since I like to try a little bit of everything. I really enjoyed the ceviche! It taste fresh, and the leche de tigre sauce it was in made it tart and refreshing. The Arroz con Mariscos was good too, it had shrimp and squid mixed in. The Chicharron de Pescado was a fried fish served with one piece of yucca. It wasn't that flavorful...I thought this one was just ok out of the three. We also got the Tallarin Verde for our entree. The pasta has a traditional Peruvian pesto, which is a striking green color! This also comes with a pretty large grilled chicken cutlet that appears to be pounded until thin. While the pasta wasn't as flavorful as I was expecting it to be, the sauce on the chicken was tasty and balanced out the flavor when you ate both together.

    My husband's friend highly recommended this restaurant to us. He raved about its delicious food and generous portions, especially since he's Peruvian and knows authentic Peruvian cuisine. We were thrilled to try it, especially since he's Peruvian and knows authentic Peruvian food. Keep in mind that the restaurant opens at 12 p.m. We arrived a few minutes before they opened, so we had to wait outside. There were two other families waiting outside as well. Once the restaurant opened, we were seated promptly. Although the restaurant is not large, it still has ample space and tables. Our waiter, Johan, brought over the menus, and we decided to share a few dishes. We started with the Lomo Saltado, a stir-fried steak dish with rice and fried potatoes. It was coated in a flavorful sauce made with soy sauce, onions, and tomatoes. The next plate we ordered was the chaufa de mariscos, a fried rice dish with a medley of seafood. As a side, we opted for sweet plantains. Everything tasted incredibly delicious! The flavors were bursting, and everything was freshly prepared. My kids enjoyed their fried chicken and fries as well.

    Churros with lucuma ice cream
    Raven R.

    This place is clean with a well-decorated interior. The staff is nice and very helpful. We ordered saltado mixto, tallarin huancaina/ verde with shrimp, and churros with lucuma ice cream for desssert. Saltado Mixto- You get stir-fried beef, chicken, and shrimp in a tasty soy based sauce with onions, tomatoes, and fries served over rice. The meat was tender and flavorful. The fries give the dish extra bulk and texture. Tallarin Huancaina/ Verde with Shrimp- This is a pasta dish with a cheese-based sauce with yellow peppers. It's a lovely blend of creamy with the mildest of kicks. Paired beautifully with shrimp. Absolutely delicious! Churros with Lucuma Ice Cream- A sweet way to end the meal! The lucuma ice cream was rich and custardy. It paired wonderfully with the hot, cinnamon sugar churros. Couldn't get enough of this one!

    Come for the ceviche! It's excellent and a true 5 star experience. This ceviche is prepared Peruvian style, which is my all time favorite prep. The serving was very generous. The fish was very fresh and delicate, marinated in that amazing lime sauce with secret spices, and served with all the authentic side tidbits that make Peruvian so unique: hominy, sweet potato, pickled onions, cilantro, and my personal favorite, the Conchita (Peruvian popcorn). It's a very special dish beautifully prepared! Get it. But of course, the menu has much more than just that. So besides the ceviche, we convinced ourselves to give a few other dishes a try. Mixed results. I was surprised to find Grilled Octopus on the menu. What a temptation, but turns out, I could have taken it or left it. It arrived, sizzling, on a hot plate with lovely grilled, glazed vegetables. A beautiful presentation and I loved the caramelized veggies. But unfortunately, the octopus was not tender, rather chewy and under seasoned. I have had better. I would give this a Pass. The Lomo Saltado was not one of our favorites either, but not without appreciating the excellent quality of the meat. Very tender, cooked perfectly. Unfortunately, it was the French fried potatoes. They were not crispy and missing the amazing flavor we have been accustomed to, of a good frying oil. They were just soggy, and the saltado gravy was lacking something that is usually rich and complex. But there is one more dish I had decided to try, based on several other reviews, that turned out to be delicious. The fried fish. These were small nuggets of wonderfully tender, moist fish, lightly breaded then quickly fried in a good oil. The final touch was the pickled onions on top. Delicious, very memorable, and one I will definitely return for. It really doesn't need the creamy tartar sauce, but a small cup of it comes with the dish. This was actually a fun, unique adventure. Historically, Peruvian cuisine has been heavily influenced by the Chinese and Spanish in many forms, so makes for a interesting meal regardless of what you choose. I would return.

    Great Peruvian Food. Food quality is like a real Peruvian dish should be. Casual place, lots of parking. Came around 3pm and it was nice and slow, more packed at Noon

    Chicken Tamal
    Kat S.

    No reservations are needed They close at 8:00pm Service is impeccable Relaxing vibes The food is good Ceviche is delicious Tamal is so soft and flavorful The saltados were good it's even better with the house green sauce. Dessert was these fried donuts with an indescribable syrup, which was also addicting.

    Got dinner with my parents, as Peruvians my parents want to go to every new Peruvian spot to…read moresupport our people. To start with, the vibes inside are like that of a takeout restaurant. By the register they have dried goods/snacks/sauces from Peru for sale. I bought a pack of Doña Pepa to take home (if you aren't familiar, they are cookies dipped in chocolate and covered in sprinkles!) The menu had a decent amount of options. We ordered: Yuca con Huancaina, Anticuchos, Ceviche, Jalea, Lomo Saltado, Aguadito, Papa Rellena. I'll start with what NOT to order. The aguadito was way too thick, almost porridge like. It tasted like it already had lime squeezed in. The taste was not what Im familiar with. The yuca con huancaina was also a skip for next time. The yuca was a little undercooked, and the huancaina tasted closer to a nacho cheese. Youre better off ordering something else. Moving onto the main dishes: * How a peruvian spot makes lomo really tells you how its gonna go. The meat was perfectly cooked. This was presented more like a deconstructed lomo since the fries and tomatoes were not tossed together with the meat and onion. The overall for this dish was 4 out of 5. They were but heavy handed with the soy sauce. Still delicious! * The jalea (fried fish and calamari) was perfect!! 5/5! Perfectly crunchy and all the seafood was great. No fishy taste. The mojarra was one of the best fried mojarra I've had in a long time. Just order it, and dont forget to ask for a side of lime. * The ceviche was good, the leche de tigre was the kind you wanna just slurp up at the end. I liked that they asked if we wanted it spicy and how spicy. My dad got normal spicy and wasnt spicy at all to us so we may just get spicy next time. * The papa rellena came with two small papas and was chicken based which threw us off. There was no indication on the menu or by staff that it would be chicken. My mom spoke up to the server that she was a little bamboozled by it The server told us some weeks they do chicken and some they do beef. We wish they told us before we ordered, or had some notice about asking what the filling of the week would be. Flavor was good. * Anticuchos had a good seasoning, they were a little on the more cooked side but they were definitely not tough as other reviews mention. The aji they serve is on the spicier side, you could tell before tasting as its not light in color. Overall good food with reasonable pricing.

For the price, we wish the ceviche was a little fresher but overall we enjoyed the dish. The green sauce with the Lomo saltado was very flavorful and spicy. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the ratio of tomatoes, steak, and French fries. There was an excessive amount of French fries which was fine, but they were also a bit soggy. It might have been from takeout but usually I like them to be crispier.

I find the food here to be decent to satisfy my random Peruvian food cravings and not wildly far off from the food I had in Peru. I had gotten takeout here a few times but finally dined in for a weekday lunch recently. Didn't get the server's name, but service was amazing. We did stand by the entrance for a few minutes before anyone greeted us and seated us, but that could be due to the restaurant layout that's somewhat of an upside down L shape, and most people were sitting tucked inside away from the entrance. I've got ceviche mixto and recently ceviche mariscos. Both are satisfying. The difference is the mixto contains white fish and all the other seafood (shrimp, octopus, squid, mussels) while the ceviche mariscos only contains the non-fish seafood. They are not cheap, but the portion is generous and it is quite a lot of seafood. We got medium spicy for dine in, which was the right call. I think I had gotten spicy in the past, and while I love spicy food and have good tolerance, it was still spicy to me and distracted a bit from enjoying the seafood. The ceviche comes with sweet potato, yucca, boiled corn, and cancha (Peruvian corn nuts). And no meal is complete without a chicha morada. I also enjoy anything with platano frito. If I recall correctly, the tallarín verde and lúcuma ice cream were pretty good, too. The pionono is okay; I'm not a huge fan of sponge cake, and the dulce de leche is very sweet. I prefer Porto's tres leches cake, which I know isn't Peruvian, but is perfect for my taste.

We came in with our daughter, who is on the autism spectrum and has very specific food preferences and sensory needs. As we have done on previous visits, we brought food from McDonald's for her so that she could comfortably eat while we enjoyed our meal. We explained this to our waiter and let him know that we have always been allowed to do this in the past because of our daughter's special needs. Unfortunately, the waiter refused to allow our daughter to eat her food and repeatedly stated that his manager, Angel, made the rules. Despite explaining our situation and our long history as customers, there was no effort to accommodate us or show any understanding. What makes this even more disappointing is that we have been coming here for years and have spent a significant amount of money supporting this restaurant. Our family meals would often total close to $200, and we were regular customers who genuinely enjoyed dining here. It was upsetting to see that our loyalty seemed to mean nothing and that no consideration was given to our daughter's circumstances. Rather than make our daughter uncomfortable or cause a scene, we chose to leave. As parents of a child on the spectrum, we expected a little compassion and understanding. Instead, we felt unwelcome and dismissed. We are extremely disappointed by how this situation was handled and, sadly, after years of being loyal customers, we will not be coming back.

The market is easy to spot with a big street sign out front. There are only two parking spots in front, one is a handicapped space. There's plenty of parking around the back though. When you walk in, you will see the main market with lots of items and brands I've never seen before. Slightly to the right is their deli counter with lots of meats, cheeses, and other miscellaneous items. To the right of the entrance is a dining area, and another counter where you can order sandwiches, empanadas, pizza, French fries, and drinks. I was laser focused on getting the chimichurri and leaving since I was short on time. It is in plastic bottles in plain view on on top of the deli counter. I purchased the regular variety, but they also have a spicy version. I could already tell this was going to be way better than the other two sauces I tried. I've had it on a steak, and on my breakfast scrambled eggs, and it's in a whole different league from the grocery versions I tried. It looks just like a restaurant chimichurri, oil based with lots of herbs and spices. I just had a nice filet mignon with chimichurri at a good Argentinan restaurant last week, and this chimichurri is about 90% as good. I moved it from the plastic bottle it comes in to a glass jar which will hopefully help preserve it longer, and store it in the refrigerator. I now have no reason to look elsewhere for chimichurri. My friend visits here periodically and says the sandwiches are excellent. I'll have to return again to try one, get more chimichurri, and explore the market and deli to see what other goodies they have.
