I came to Mimi's Peruvian Cuisine for dinner after calling ahead about my multiple food allergies…read more They assured me they could accommodate, so I made a reservation and I am so glad I did! The interior is small, cozy, and has a welcoming, family friendly vibe. Mimi herself was there, and along with her staff (who are her family), and they were incredibly kind and patient while helping me choose something safe. I ended up ordering the Arroz con Pollo, and it was absolutely delicious. I also tried the purple corn drink, chicha morada, and it was lovely. My family and friends loved their meals as well. Having a long list of food allergies can make dining out stressful, but places like this remind me that I can still be a foodie. Their care, attention, and genuine hospitality made the experience even better. I will definitely be coming back!

Lunch in Honolulu, Hawaii…read more.. I've passed by Mimi's Peruvian Cuisine probably thousands of times, but never gave it a try until I saw the sign for $14.99 special between 10am and 3pm. Let's check it out! The parking at Keeaumoku Plaza is free for the first hour with validation. I ate efficiently! Inside, the cozy restaurant is pleasantly decorated with pleasant air-conditioning and good service. I think the older woman didn't know how to work the cash register. She had to call a guy in from his break. Later, she had to call him in because she wasn't able to find the parking validation stickers. The woman who took my order reassured me that nothing on the menu is spicy... okay... I ordered the Beef Lomo Saltido special that came with French Fries and white rice. It was on the salty side. I used the white rice to balance out the flavors. The beef was tender, the Fries came out crisp at first, and the onions were sweet! Overall, it was an interesting foodie adventure!

I ordered the whole chicken plate cause I was craving…read morerotisserie chicken and my gf suggested I could eat half now and half later not to mention I drive pass this place everyday wondering. Well the wait is now over!. The blend used to rub in the chicken before roasting is so Ono! And the chicken meat is nice and tender!. Goes perfect with the rice that is served with it . The owner I would assume at the stand was pretty friendly too. If you work/pass/visit the moilili area stop wondering and go pick up a plate. Prices are pretty fair.

It happened to be open yesterday, Saturday, so I asked my wife if she wanted to take a look. When…read morewe went by about 9:50 am, he said that the chicken was still cooking and would be ready at around 10:45. I went back a little after 11 am, and there was one customer ahead of me. When my turn came, I said it was my first time there and asked if I could just get a whole chicken. He said, yes, and that it was the most popular option. As soon as I saw him cutting the chicken and placing the two halves on a bed of rice, I knew he had misunderstood that I really wanted a whole chicken by itself and nothing else. Perhaps this wasn't an option, but I didn't want to make a big deal of it. In a way, it was good, being able to try what everyone else was having. I took the plate home and we began eating. My wife's initial impression was that the flavor was very good, not too salty, and that the rice was good as well. Then as we continued to eat, she noticed small spots of blood on parts of the chicken. She didn't finish her half, but she's generally a light eater. She said she preferred the whole huli huli chicken we got from near Dillingham instead. My impression was that the taste was fairly good. As for the rice, I like sticky rice better, but that's just my preference. Neither of us used the yellowish spicy mayo at all. I agree that the huli-huli chicken was better.

Also, I usually hesitate getting house brewed coffee as I'm kinda a black coffee snob but their house blend coffee is terrific. I will definitely will visit this place again, and again .

The people running the truck were very friendly. 100% will have to find them again.

Using Yelp's Mobile Food Trucks search will identify them but you need to use another app to actually find out where they are. I ran across them on a weekend in my neighborhood and stopped by. The food is a fusion of Peruvian and Laotian by husband-wife team, Juan Ching and Kim Thepsenavong. There is a long history of Japanese cuisine fusing with Peruvian - it's called Nikkei. But other Asian cuisines, especially Southeast Asian, also blend seamlessly with Peruvian staples. Think about the heavy use of pepper and spice in Laotian cuisine. You've been in restaurants where the heat scale is hot, Thai hot, and Laotian hot. Peppers were only introduced into Southeast Asia in the 16th century. Peru is one of the recognized birthplaces of peppers, with over 300 varieties and a 7,500 year history of cultivation. Peruvian Laotian fusion works when you do it right. I had a beef anticuchos skewers plate with Laotian accompaniments. The anticuchos had a nice smokey sweet dark color from aji panca paste. The rice was Laotian, with black and white grains of sticky rice. There was pickled Laotian som pak, a vinegar marinated mustard cabbage. A fine blended salsa-like jeow mak len, full of charred tomato smokiness, savory paedek fish sauce, garlic, shallot, bird's eye chiles, and lime, was terrific on top of the marinated beef. I hope I run into Khao and Papas again one day so I can try their grilled chicken. Until then, I have the memory of a fine take-out plate of Peruvian Laotian fusion comfort food.

I am a huge fan of peruvian food and this place is a must try if you are in the north shore area,…read moreit is a food truck so dont expect your fancy presentation or super clean kitchen area. Here the reviews: -Tip: they are only open on the weekends and they have been moving around from pipeline to Haleiwa area now. I would call them in advance to make sure they are there (specially if you're driving from town). I can give you their phone number if you message me. -Prices: a little bit on the high side but its not your typical food so its worth it :) -Service: There is only 1-2 people in the truck, sometimes they are really busy so not much time to talk but they are friendly :) -Food: MUST GET THE CEVICHE! its really good and you can add "papa a la huancaina" so you make it a combo. *Tip try to go on Fridays or Saturdays, fish is fresher ;) *The seafood paella is also really good!! I have been going to this place since they opened last year and i always get these 2 items! I will for sure continue to go!!!

Saw a food truck at Eat the Street that I've never seen around Yelp so I decided to give it a…read moretry...Asian fused with Peruvian? Talk about interesting. This Eat the Street was pork and their main pork dish was Asado...unfortunately they ran out around 7pm when I got there, so I didn't get any pork. Lame. Anyways, onto the food! I decided to go with their Chicken Saltana. I honestly didn't read the description, but I remember that I wanted something reasonably cheap and somewhat healthy. Can't really go wrong with chicken, peppers, onions, salad and rice. I pride myself on only rating places on their food, unless their service or something else is just absolutely horrendously terrible. But I would like to mention that the wait for my plate was about 35 minutes...standing...in a crowded parking lot...hungry...and tired. I expected more from a food truck, I mean come on now, this isn't a sit down restaurant, you gotta get the order and make it quick and good. At least the live music was good and the moon was quite nice. Opening my plate, I see a pretty nice plate of food. Reasonable amount of chicken and peppers and onions, generous servings of rice and salad, and a little container of what appeared to be dressing. It was all spiced with what I assumed to be Peruvian spices and also cilantro and a sweet oil based sauce used to cover the chicken and veggies and rice. The chicken looked a little plain, but the sweet sauce and veggies and cilantro really went well with the juicy chicken and the Peruvian rice (Twas a little crispy/hard, but very tasty) was pretty delicious. However, the salad was just....bleh...The veggies were fine, but the dressing was basically salt incarnate...and I'm 80% sure I detected a hint of fish, which was not good at all. For $8.90 though...not bad for everything. Overall, pretty okay meal. Without the salad, I'd give it 3.5 stars. Not bad, but nothing too spectacular. I must remember to try the other trucks at Eat the Street next time, I didn't check Yelp to see which trucks were good at the event...and I believe it cost me this time. Oh well...there is always next time.
