Service was great! I called ahead because most Peruvian restaurants are closed on Mondays. They are open Mondays! Yay. 4:30-5 chef takes a break so no major dishes at that time. So we took the coast and enjoyed the long way to the restaurant so we could get there at the right time. No issues parking, but we went during a slow time. It's off steet parking, there's not a parking lot, but again we found plenty of spots right in front of the restaurant. They have pretty and colorful decor. Fun lights and beautiful flowering tree coverage. Seating is outdoors so dress accordingly. I knew this because we've enjoyed dining here a few times, so I actually used my little throw blanket. It's causal but some Couples dress up and eat here too. Server was great. He was tentative and nice. I knew I wanted the shrimp causa and my daughter's favorite Peruvian dish is Lomo saltado, so thatd what she ordered. He told us about the specials so we went with trying the baked scallops. I'd asked for 2 and he accidentally brought 4 but immediately realized and without us having to even ask, he offered to take the extra two off. So grateful he caught that. My daughter doesn't like scallops and I just wanted to try them. I like sea scallops but these were bay scallops. I never asked so I shouldn't have assumed. It was a tasty appetizer, talked my daughter into trying it but she wasn't interested to try more. She loves Parmesan cheese and there was a lot but she wouldn't attempt the scallops. They were not under nor over cooked. I'm not sure what made it taste so unique but we both agreed we've never tasted anything like it. The shrimp causa wasnt the same flavor as months months ago. We don't live near so it's been a while since we've tried it. The alioli was a lot spicier than ever but still had good flavor but the causa was dry. But I had a side of alioli to help with that. Shrimp was tasty. Several other restaurants shrimp has been tasting off for months but this place shrimp tasted better. The Inca and chicha were delicious. I miss the cut up apple they use to put in it but still tastes fresh. Lomo Saltado was just two huge potato wedges and very few rice. Look at the photo. We did not eat any of it yet. This is the portion. It had good amount of jugó but the flavor wasnt like anything we'd tasted in Peru. BUT there's many many areas in Peru and we've only lived in a few and have only visited a handful more so just because it's not like any lomo we've tasted, doesn't mean it's not Peruvian. My daughter still liked it. It was high soy sauce and high vinegar taste. Lomo has both, but it was missing the cumin and flame flavor for me. We don't like potato wedges at all but she cut it up and made due with it. We were sooooo hungry from all day at the zoo so we almost finished all of it. None of the dishes are repeats for us but again, they taste good, just not the flavors we are use to, it's been a while so maybe that's why the causa and lomo tasted different. The server asked how is everything, im sure if we had said something he'd probably sought to help, but really it is what it is. I just think they cook differently then what we have had living in Peru. My husband had the seco here time ago, it's was incredibly delicious. He loves lamb. It was cooked perfectly and the frijoles were delicious as well. I hope the decide to put that dish back on the menu. Please. Not every visit is gonna go perfectly, that's not possible. Still a fun colorful restaurant with great service. Plates had great presentation. Not long at all ago I enjoyed the ceviche. I was just too cold to get it this time. Gonna got for it next time. Another couple got a huge salad. It looked so good, imma look for it on the menu next time. read more

During my stay in Del Mar I decided to check this place out for lunch. I came for lunch with one other person on a weekday and there was only one other party. All the seating is located outside. It's a smaller restaurant but is cute. We ended up sharing their Ceviche Mixto and Lomo Saltado. They were both very salty. I eat pretty salty but my god. We did both like their flavors though. The ceviche mixto had great seafood in it, such as shrimp, scallops, calamari, and literally one mussel. It came with some yams that went great with it. The lomo saltado was even more salty. It came with two potato wedges and some rice. The meat had an asian flavor to me. I probably wouldn't get it again. Pricing was reasonable. I think it was a little over $70 got both items. The service was cool. Food did take awhile but other than that no complaints. read more

Location was cute but it's also really hard to go wrong with anywhere in Del Mar. The waiter was nice, seems he was the only one working on a slow Thursday afternoon. With that said, the service was slow. We got the ceviche, lomo Saltado and I got the queen carafe of Peruvian champagne. The ceviche was interested in that it was served hominy, what I think might be steamed yucca and catch of the day was yellowtail which is my personal favorite fish. However I'd rate the dish a 2/10 as the flavor was lacking and it was odd to be served with so much of the same texture. There was no crunch or dimension to the dish. I'm also from LA and we have amazing ceviche so I could be biased but even compared to a grocery store bought ceviche it barely held up. The lomo saltado had good flavor however the cuts of meat were interesting ... I almost expected it to be served with sliced up pieces of meat and fries but it wasn't quite what I expected. I'd give it an 7/10 bc I liked the flavor of the marinade/sauce. It wasn't until we asked specifically for green sauce and hot sauce that we got it but I think the green sauce should automatically be served with it bc it adds more to the flavor. I probably wouldn't come back as nothing inspired me to return for seconds or sparked my curiosity. However the place was nice and the waiter was sweet. read more

This was my third time coming and I assure you one of my fave Peruvian restaurants in Del Mar. The service was superb and the food was absolutely amazing. This place always sends the freshest sea food. The dishes we had were so unique in flavors and I loved how fresh the seafood were! I literally loved the strawberry hamachi was such a flavor with a hint of a spice. The scallops hands down #1 on the menu for their spring specialsThe ambiance is a super cute restaurant, gives off a cozy patio style seating. read more

Obsessed! My sister found this place on Yelp when we were looking for a dinner spot nearby that served seafood. The reservation system made it easy to book a time (and change it when we were a little delayed). We came on a Saturday evening and it was basically empty. The ambiance was very cute (both outside and inside), and I could see this being such a cute date night spot. Everything on the menu looked delicious and fairly priced, and more importantly it tasted amazing! Literally everything we ordered was perfection -- no complaints. The drinks were okay (not bad, but not spectacular). I'd gotten the sangria which I wish was a little sweeter, and my sister ordered a non alcoholic Bellini (which she specifically asked for non-alc options and was pointed to that particular Bellini)... she ended up getting an alcohol one anyways which she was a little annoyed at, but good thing her reasoning for going non-Alc wasn't that deep or else it'd be an actual problem. I'd say the service as nice, standard, but pretty slow tbh. It took a while to get any kind of attention when we needed it (but we were checked on throughout the meal), and even longer to get the check and for them to come back to take the payment. read more

We were so excited to try this place but were unfortunately disappointed in our experience. I found Coya on the SOS app and the reviews looked promising. We went on a Saturday for lunch and were seated promptly. The ambiance is fun and the place is nicely decorated. Our server took our drink orders and then came back later to take our meal orders. We ordered a pomegranate limeade and their house made drink (forget the name), and for meals we ordered the octopus appetizer, lomo saltodo, squid ink risotto, and a kids lomo saltodo. The drinks were good. However it took a long time for the food to come out. Our server brought my daughter's meal first, then after some more time brought out our meals. Except they forgot my meal and instead he placed the octopus appetizer in front of me as if it were my meal. After waiting a little longer he asked if we were missing a meal (I was sitting there waiting and I said yes), at that point they rushed my order and it was obvious because the beef on my plate came undercooked. My husband's risotto barely had any rice, and he didn't like the fish it came with. Both portions were really small. Not much beef on my plate, and being pregnant, I avoided the undercooked pieces (I didn't ask for it to be redone because we were in a rush). My husband ate the undercooked pieces and later he had an upset stomach. The sauce in my dish was good but that was the only good thing about it. Service was average. Overall pretty disappointed in our experience as it had the potential to be so much better. We always love trying new places and new cuisines but this one was unfortunately a letdown. read more

Went to this wonderful Peruvian restaurant after the Banksy exhibit. Parking was a challenge, but we managed to park on the side street. Waiter took care of us and the food came out fast! The octopus appetizer was delicious. My rice and seafood plate eas delicious. I must note the shrimp was sweet and tender. Lots of seafood and scallops hidden in the rice. The desert was good, but the real star was the food. Check this lovely restaurant out when you are in Del Mar, you wont be disappointed. read more

Absolutely delightful experience all round, Coya Peruvian Secret is a really great restaurant. Superb friendly and accommodating service, excellent quality of food and a cultural vibe. The menu is authentic and the taste is superb. The roastedbeet salad was awesome and so were the main courses items which were well done and presented. Parking was easy even on a weekend which is always a relief! read more

Such a cool, unique restaurant in the heart of Del Mar! Very authentic Peruvian dishes that's full of flavor and worthy of all the accolades it's received in the past. The servers were friendly and attentive. A bit noisy with music playing loudly mixed with all the chattering from nearby tables. But since all seating is outdoors, the noise is somewhat diffused. Dishes we ordered: Peruvian Scallops appetizer - 3/5, although the presentation was fantastic, the scallop to cheese ratio was way off. The little scallops were buried deep under a mountain of baked cheese which made it hard to taste the scallops, which should've been the star of the dish. Loma Saltado - 5/5, it's no wonder this steak dish is popular among patrons. It definitely lives up to the hype. Pork Sandwich - 5/5, another popular favorite, and AGREED! Yuca Fries - 4/5, tasty but the cut was a bit thick. Cilantro Chicken Rice soup - 4/5 House Sangria - 5/5 Only big disappointment was that they ran out of passion fruit ice cream, which would've been a refreshing dessert. Ah well, next time, I want to be whisked away to Peru for a delightful meal, Coya you'll be my Secret getaway! read more

We really wanted to like this place. We just recently moved out of Austin TX and we were spoiled for Peruvian choices, so maybe that was it. My husband has also spent a considerable amount of time traveling in Peru and is quite familiar with the food. We were both kind of disappointed with this place. We were seated promptly but waited quite a while for our drinks. Our server did not come by our table unless he was going to every table, so things took longer for everyone. We ordered lomo saltado, ceviche mixto, yuquitas, and a soup of the day. The yuquitas were cut really largely and there wasn't enough huacaina sauce on the side, but the flavor was good and they were nice and crisp. The soup never came out, and our waiter told us he forgot which table ordered it, so he took it to the wrong table. The lomo was a bit tough and I only got two French fries with it. The ceviche had a very thick, paste-like sauce, and is nothing like a traditional Leche de Tigre. We also got pisco sours that were very heavy on the bitters. Overall, we were disappointed, especially because we were celebrating our anniversary. read more

Coya Peruvian Secret earned one of the top restaurants for a reason. As my first time experiencing Peruvian food, I was not disappointed. Service was exceptional, and while they are shorter on staff upon opening (1 main server & 1 chef) the quality made a nice experience. Their baby chicken is an underrated gem. There was a lot of cheese on their special scallops, but the affogato was delicious with homemade gelato. Portions were appropriate for the pricing and amount given. There is street parking both up front and behind the alley, and reservations can be made via OpenTable. Most of the seating is outdoors. read more

We wet here for Valentines Day and we had an absolutely wonderful time! Food came out incredibly fast! We started out with the ceviche mixto and empanadas! Both were divine. We LOVED the acidity of the ceviche which was fantastic with the savory nature of the empanada. I only wish the empanada was bigger or came with more that just one. Either way - it was delicious and comes with two great dipping sauces and a small salad. I'll definitely be back just for that Ceviche! We got the Macho special and the Lomo Saltado. Both were absolutely fantastic. I loved the macho and my partner died over the taste of the ribeye and the onions! OMG the onions and sauce! Only complaint was that the Lomo Saltado only came town 2 potato's! I wish I came with more. Rice was dry but the....everything else more than made up for it. Great date spot! read more

I recommend a carafe of the macha marado. It is very similar to Jamaica. I love that it is more tart than some of the Jamaica I get at Mexican joints. The half baby chicken was most and my group enjoyed it more than the ravioli. They have weekly specials. This time they had baked Parmesan scallops that were very cheesy! The ambience is very good for small groups and date nights. read more

4.5 stars. I have tried 3 Peruvian restaurants in North county (Qero, Manka, Coya) and this is the best. Their food is top notch. Their service and the overall ambiance needs some work. The restaurant is described as a quaint vintage cottage with vines running all over. At night, with the lights, it looks cute. But honestly, with the exception of the two tables right underneath the vines, the rest of the seating is just a mix and match of tables and chairs. There are a few tables that extend outside the restaurant patio area and it feels like you are sitting on the pavement rather in the restaurant. We almost got seated on one of those tables and requested to be moved to community high top table instead. If you are a party of 2, my recommendation would be to choose the tables right underneath the vine near the window. The service was a little underwhelming. Our server came to our table pretty quickly to take our order but after that, she disappeared for a while and we had to wait quite a while to flag her down for dessert, to-go boxes and the check. There were about 3 different servers and the other servers were more prompt with their tables. The menu is selected but hits all the major Peruvian dishes I've previously eaten. We ordered the classic ceviche, the lomo saltado and the half roasted baby chicken. We also got the pisco sour and Cusquena beer. We ended the meal with a quatro leches. The ceviche was excellent. Peruvian ceviche is a little different from the Mexican ones I've had before. The catch of the day was sea bass. The whole plate was tart, fresh and delicious. The yams were a great addition. We enjoyed it thoroughly. The portion was bigger than what we expected too. The lomo saltado was very good, but we would have liked a little more meat and a little less of the potatoes and the tomatoes. The meat was cooked perfectly. I've always found the filet mignon a little chewy but this one was on the medium/well side which we liked. The sauce was excellent. The whole plate was very filling but we'd have liked slightly more protein than the starch. The half roasted baby chicken was the star of the night. The chicken was cooked very well. The bed of rice, salsa and the aioli elevated the plate. We thoroughly enjoyed this plate and definitely recommend getting it. It is large enough that it could be shared by 2 people for sure. The quatro leches was disappointing. The biscuit added as the second layer was too dry and there was a weird raw powdery taste to the whole dessert. It got slightly better when you took a bit of all the layers together but I think they went overboard with this dessert and it ended up not being the classic that I'm used to. The drinks were good. I liked the pisco sour. It was slightly more eggy than I'd like but still good. The beer was interesting and my husband found it decent. The whole meal cost us about $85 without tips. For the quality and quantity we got, it was absolutely worth the price. We will be back here when we want Peruvian food, and will hope for better service and try to book the table under the vines. read more

I went here for lunch on a Sunday with bestie and we were so happy to find this gem. We ordered the Yuquitas , empananada, tamale, lomo saltado. The yuquitas were warm and crispy and came with a lovely dipping sauce, yum. The empanadas are delicious and the meat is so flavorful. The tamal was soft and savory , I wish it was larger or came with 2 instead of 1 For the price. The lomo saltado was also very flavorful and delicious. We had the 4 leches cake to end our excellent meal and it was to die for. Perfect amount of sweetness and moisture. I will be eating here again, we really enjoyed our time there with the cute ambiance. Highly recommend! read more

Coya Peruvian Secret is a special place that should not be a secret! I was first introduced to this restaurant at a Yelp event on a chilly afternoon where we got to taste some of the delicious Peruvian treats that Coya offers. I returned to try the full dining experience, and was not disappointed! Some of the items on the menu might not be familiar, unless you've been to Peru. But don't be afraid to give them a try. The food is uniformly delicious and the service is nice and helpful. The inside seating is very limited, but they have a nice patio out in front. I am a fan. You should be, too! read more

A small cozy spot serving Peruvian food. The photos look very good and the food I ordered also looked great but unfortunately they're bland...The Classic Ceviche lacked the acidity. The accroutrements were also flavorless. The fish was fresh though. Similarly, the Squid Ink Risotto with Mahi Mahi came out hot and looked so delicious but was again bland.

Coya Peruvian is a hidden gem on Camino del Mar in close to downtown. It is literally hidden since a large tree covers the property and it's hard to know the business is there. Coya has an interesting seating arrangement with an indoor section, a patio and a number of tables directly on the sidewalk. It's a nice feeling dining under the tree but pedestrians will be walking right by your table. The menu features a number of Peruvian traditional foods and some California cuisine. Every dish that we had was perfectly prepared and delicious. The Ceviche Clasico and the yuquitas were excellent appetizers. Unfortunately, the highly recommended causa was not available. Ceviche came with a couple traditional Peruvian vegetables on the side. Peruvian Salad and Pork Belly were also excellent. Portions are fairly large here and with two apps and two mains, we brought a significant amount of food home. There is a small alcoholic beverage menu but I just had a bottle of Pelligrino. Service was professional yet friendly and casual. Highly recommended! read more

I lived in Peru, and I can say this food is pretty decent in terms of the flavors I have had there. They have a dog friendly patio that is convenient. We tried their shrimp causa, ceviche, pasta, and other appetizers. I would say their food is very fresh, service is decent, and overall ambience is decent. I think I would give the food a 3.5, as some dishes were bland but not bad, just nothing truly stand out. read more

Lot of things to do around the neighborhood. atmosphere was Tranquility. Food is delicious great services.

My boyfriend decided to surprise me for a birthday dinner date and brought me to Coya. The moody lights, beautiful lanterns and greenery outside makes this restaurant stand out from the others. It's romantic and cozy. Quite frankly it gave me inspiration on how I should design my backyard. Our server was so kind. He had a sincere interest in his guests and made us feel welcomed and taken care of. I wish I caught his name. My boyfriend is from South America so we have been on the hunt for a restaurant that has dishes that taste like home to him. He was sad to learn his favorite dish, ají de gallina wasn't a permanent item so we went with the classics. We ordered lomo saltado, ceviche mixto, macho, and I was graciously gifted a tres leches for my birthday. The lomo saltado was pretty good. It had a lot of onions. Too much for my liking. The sauce was rich and flavorful, the meat was tender. I found it tasted better the next day after the flavors had melded together. 7.5/10 The macho seafood dish came with a generous portion of seafood. We did add a bit of salt when we got home and reheated our leftovers. This was my boyfriend's favorite dish of the night. 7.5/10 The ceviche mixto was amazing! It was bright, very acidic, refreshing and again, a very generous portion of seafood. Your taste buds may start to tingle from the high acidity. But it's so good, I didn't mind. My only complaint is that the yams were hard to cut. I would order this dish again and again. 9/10 The tres leches cake I was given for my birthday was the best tres leches I've ever had. I wanted to lick the cup it came in. It made me question why I never order desserts at restaurants. Without question, I will get this again. 10/10. read more

CUATROOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! This place is beautiful, it's located in one of the most beautiful places Del Mar, so right off the bat they get cheat points for location alone! But I love the spin on the outside dining only (even if it felt really cold on New Year's Eve) but imagine what it would feel like on the perfect summer night!! Peruvian food is not that always the easiest food to find that is done well and to make an elevated version of it is bold, but Coya does it with class!! It was New Year's Eve and I had a late reservation and the two items I had my eyes set on (pork belly or short rib) were all sold out by the time we got sat, So may review will have a lot of grace being that I couldn't try what I wanted to. 3 things stood out and one blew my mind straight on to the Del Mar train tracks! Number 1: the Homemade Empanada (so good make you want to slap yo Epa-MaMa) I mean it was good like really really good I have had many empanadas and people don't always get it right some make the breading too soggy or not flakey, but Coya nailed it... Number 2: Chicha Morada!!! This was my first time having this drink, and the way I can describe it is a mix between sangria and Mexican Punche(that hot Mexican holiday cider you get at your primos when they host the pozole) this drink was bomb and it was cold not to sweet not to biter just fire and refreshing! Number 3: CUATROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Leches Cake!!!! What Mexican Mad Scientist put this genius masterpiece inside of a cup!!! Words cannot describe what happened to my mouth when I ate this !!! Spoiler Alert the 4th milk is Coc$&883 Milk!! Look if they got rid of all the food and made this cake they would do better than most restaurants!! We Love Coya Peruvian Secret!! (Sssshhh) read more

This Peruvian spot in Del Mar is such a gem. It's a tiny space on the main drag in town. The service is just delightful and the menu has something for everyone. My friend and I dined on a Thursday night without a Resy. We got lucky though as the restaurant was packed and there was just one table available at 6:30pm! We shared the shrimp causa and clasico ceviche. Both super tasty and very pretty on the plate. The roasted baby chicken was a highlight. The herbs were delicious and the rice so yummy. We also shared the Peruvian salad which was the only dish that was a bit underwhelming. The other salads on the menu are probably a better bet. They looked good at other surrounding tables. We were too full for dessert since the portions are enormous. Highly recommend this place. read more

We were sat at an awkward high top but were able to get another seat from the hostess upon request. With amusement we saw two other couples get sat at the same table who also requested to move. This felt worth mentioning but isn't factoring into my review. Rather, my review is based mostly on the attached photo; $29.50 for "ribeye" lomo saltado comprised of literally two French fries, half a scoop of rice, and as much tomato as there was beef. It's one thing to charge 30 bucks for lomo saltado -- costs are way up the last few years especially for restaurants -- but pairing that inflation with this shrinkflation felt insulting. read more
