Doña Tere Peruvian Restaurant - Peruvian Near Me - Lathrop, California

The "leche de tigre" was not on the menu but it's by far my favorite ceviche. "Cholo" was very fresh and warm to enjoy with the spicy "rocoto" sauce. Papá a la Huancaina was a great appetizer to share. The Cau Cau was big portion very. Very good food! I highly recommend trying the Leche de Tigre soooo good! read more

The food is good. However; they took too long to get the food out. I waited an hour for our food and a large family came in and they had their food out within minutes. I am not coming back here if that's how they prioritize their customers. read more

Delicious and authentic Peruvian food! Big portions enough to share and still have leftovers! The service is fast and they have a big table that fits 8 or 10 ppl - server was very knowledgeable about every dish and it's quite enough to be able to enjoy and have a conversation. Bathroom was clean too. read more

All the food is so good you can get dishes and eat family style. We loved the seafood rice and the papa a la huancaina

Great food. Service kinda slow so need to go with lo lots of time and not be starving.

We come here every couple of months come knowing that food is cooked to order will take a while to come out but worth it!!

Decided to try out this Peruvian spot here in Lathrop and I just want to say it's worth a try. Got the lomo saltado and it was packed with flavors! It was made to order and the service from staff was welcoming. Would come back and try more dishes read more

Doña Tere Peruvian Restaurant - Lomo Saltado de Carne - Peruvian Near Me - Lathrop, California

Their food is AMAZING! The portions are huge and worth it too! It's a small business so the service can be a little slow, but it's definitely worth the wait. It's not easy finding a Peruvian restaurant as good as this one within a hundred miles (and I've tried haha) I've lived in Europe and been around to Peruvian restaurants there and still not found a place as good as this. I absolutely recommend trying the Secco Con Frijoles. Very authentic amazing. ¡Su comida es INCREÍBLE! Las porciones son grandes y también valen la pena. Es un negocio pequeño por lo que el servicio puede ser un poco lento, pero definitivamente vale la pena esperar. No es fácil encontrar un restaurante peruano tan bueno como este en un radio de cien millas (y lo he intentado jaja). He vivido en Europa y he visitado restaurantes peruanos allí y todavía no he encontrado un lugar tan bueno como este. Recomiendo absolutamente probar el Secco Con Frijoles. Muy auténtico increíble. read more

Doña Tere Peruvian Restaurant - Roast chicken, yucca fries and fried plantains. So good. - Peruvian Near Me - Lathrop, California

Very authentic taste, large portions for the price. Family vibe. Food takes a while but it is freshly made.

Worst service ever! The owner does not care about customer service. Takes about an hour to get a menu and another hour just to get your order! Would not waste my time. read more

This place is so so good. Their pollo al brasa is so moist and yummy! I recommend getting it with the Peruvian beans and their salad. Have yet to try other dishes but I'll definitely be back. The lady who works the front is super sweet. read more

Wherever I travel, I tend to find a Peruvian restaurant in the area, since I am a huge fan of Peruvian food, and I found this place, located near my workplace. When you go in, the setting is like a cafe-style space, but on the right is the dining hall. My only problem with the dining room is the lack of decorations; the atmosphere was simply dull and can definitely make some touch-ups, from the tables to the walls. Although I have tried different dishes from other Peruvian restaurants, my usual go-to dish is the Saltado de Pollo (Chicken Stir Fry). Their dish is tasty and delicious, but the french fries were a bit stale, but that changed when I just dipped them in the main course's sauce. My waiter, presumably the owner, too, was friendly and attentive; we made small talk, as I was paying my tab, and he was an overall pleasant, good guy. Their dishes are pricey, but the portions are generous, so be prepared to spend some hefty amount of money. I think it's definitely worth it, and worth checking out, even if it's once. You probably won't be disappointed. read more

She needs to hire 4 people or just bring your pillow and wait for your order for at least 2 hours if your lucky She takes your order She is the cashier She is the waitress She cleans the tables She is the cook read more

The service provided by the owner's wife is horrible, for being a Peruvian, it leaves a very disappointing taste of the culture. Not kind at all and lacks customer service read more

Food took a bit to come out but we were also very hungry. This food was AMAZING. The lo saltado was sooo good, also got an arroz chaufa de mariscos. Hella good read more

Dona Tere's Peruvian restaurant is a hidden gem that serves up some of the best Peruvian dishes around. My favorites are the ceviche and Lomo Saltado, which are always bursting with flavor. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience authentic Peruvian cuisine! Service is 10/10, I always have a good time with the family. read more

Service sucks. Took forever just to get a menu. Ended up just buying a dessert and left, the alfajor was good.

If your in the mood for some home cooked moms and pops Peruvian food in this area, than stop here! Super low key family style plates to share with everyone. It's crazy that this Peruvian food tasted like homemade vietnamese and chinese food!!!!!!!!!! Brought me back memories of me eating my moms cooking but with a hispanic/peruvian flare. i don't know how to describe it but it's a must eat over and over. ! mouth watering fresh to made ceviche mixto( sea bass, cali mari and other ingredients) that make your mouth with every bite. the chicken soup is just amazing! we devoured it like water The Peruvian beer ( two bottled flavors) were paired well with the dishes we ate at. Served ice cold with or without the cold beer glasses. t read more

Went to Dona tere last night to pick up some appetizers for dinner. I bought two orders of the papas a la huancaina because I wanted to make sure I had enough for dinner. When I got home and opened it, the portions on these orders were soooo small( couldn't even serve for dinner, ended up just having it as a little snack) I spent 30 bucks on these two orders too! Save yourself time and money and go elsewhere. Never again. read more

Doña Tere Peruvian Restaurant - Another picture of the tiny little order. Maybe a half of a potato and half an egg for 13 bucks. - Peruvian Near Me - Lathrop, California

AMAZING PERUVIAN FOOD! from the drink Chicha morrada, to the thinly sliced marinated beef heart anticuchos to the 4 entrees I had, every this amazing. Must try!! read more

Super friendly staff. Place was clean. Came here instead of the food trucks not too far away. Glad I came here. The portions were huge. The lomo saltado was incredible. Great to find some good Peruvian food in Northern CA. read more

Peruvian restaurants are hard to come by so I was surprised to find this place with my family! What can I say, the food was amazing! Big portions so come hungry, food was excellently seasoned and good presentation. The waitress was very kind and the ambiance was very relaxed, it reminded me of my grandma's house in Peru and the music was bumping! Overall I am happy they are here and I wish them nothing but success for many years to come! read more

This is a bit tough to rate. I will try to be objective and fair. Food was not bad. Tasted fresh and seemed like was being made while we waited. That was also the problem. It appeared to me there was just one person making one dish at a time. Food took forever to be delivered. We spent almost 3 hours there while wanting just a quick meal. It seems this is being run by a family with their hearts in the right place but no organization. Also it appears they need to hire more staff and not rely on family members to do everything coz they are obviously failing. Everything from water to silverware to food took eons to arrive. Overall I am somebody who can forgive a lot as long as the food is good but this was unforgivable. Most of the entrees are too big and also too expensive. It would work out ok if you are in a large group and are sharing but if you are eating alone or in a small group that is a hassle. I dont think I am going back anytime soon. read more

To start, the service is so bad....to long to attend you, even if they don't have any customers....food doesn't taste good...

The people that work here are very rude, seems like the owner is not happy working with Peruvian food . Needs to be polite with the people. I DONT COME BACK TO THIS PLACE THEY CAUSE ME STOMACH ACHE read more

Asked for a table of three, she looked at her watch and left without a word, we sat ourselves and wasn't attended to for a good five to ten minutes so we ultimately decided to leave. My family was looking forward to trying this place out, but the disservice of being ignored doesn't give us the will to go back. read more

Out of several options to eat Peruvian food, this place is the best by far. Not as fancy as others on the bay area, but the home quality style surpass everything. If you order the dish called the trio you can feed 3 or 4 people for less than $40. Includes fried calamari, best ceviche ever, and seafood rice (chaufa de mariscos). The anticucho is delicious. Try the typical beverage chicha morada and local soda Inka Cola. You might need to wait a while, they cook everything after orders, worth the wait! read more

Food is really good. Freshly made and does not disappoint. Portions are very generous, delicious and price is right. While your food is been made. Enjoy a side of anticuchos, some fresh chicha morada, maracuya (passion fruit), or a nice cool Cuzqueña or Cristal. Have a good conversation and your food will arrive in no time. Be patience their food is made with love. As a Peruvian myself, I personally recommend Doña Tere Peruvian Restaurant. read more

Great food. The meat was tender and well-seasoned. The plantains were sweet, crunchy, and soft inside. The rice was spot on. The portions are large. The drinks are stellar. I have no complaints but based on previous reviews, I recommend this restaurant's staff to remain consistent with their opening and closing times if they want to be even more successful. read more

Tried this place out for dinner tonight. New to the area so not sure how it would be. But wow it was delicious! Had the Tallarin Verde, Tallarin Saltado, and Chaufa con Carne. Definitely recommend this place. The portions were big and the food was tasty! read more

The food is delicious! If you are short on time I would say order ahead and then pick up order to either eat at home or eat at restaurant.

Llevamos una hora esperando y solo hay una mesera . Las mesas sucias no hay nadie limpiando . Para poder ordenar pollo a la brasa dicen que tenemos que hacerlo con 2 horas de anticipación. Muy mala experiencia. Espero que la comida valga la pena la espera read more

We've been eating here since just before the pandemic started. It's what you'd expect from a mom and pop restaurant. Pros: Big portions of food and tastes fresh. Cons: They're not big ones but, did wish my Jalae came with rice instead of having to order the side of rice. Lastly the yucca could be seasoned with at least the salt and pepper when they come out of the fryer to lock in the flavor a bit more. All in all we really like this restaurant! read more

Doña Tere Peruvian Restaurant - Jalea with rice (rice not included) - Peruvian Near Me - Lathrop, California

We love Peruvian food and we were excited to see this place here in lathrop. Unfortunately, it's always a gamble on when they're open or close. They don't stay consistent with what they have posted. There's many many times when we go and they refuse us in do to "an event" "too busy" or they just tell us they're close but very rudely. After today ...we won't be coming here anymore. It's unfortunate but it is what it is. read more

This place is unreliable. 2nd time we called and asked what time they closed. They told us 8pm and we got there at 7pm and they said it's closed. It's not around the corner from us so it mashes it that much worst. It's peruvian independence and being my wife and family are from peru we wanted to celebrate Independence day and eat good. Well 2nd time that we got bamboozled so we will not recommend or support this establishment read more

Beware of the time this place is open. They open and close whenever they like. We called to place an order on a Friday, yelp said they were open until 9. So we called and the lady said she was closing for the day. This has been the second time this place has done that. Seems like they pick and choose who they want to serve if you ain't Peruvian or their family or friends might as well find somewhere else to eat. read more
