    Lomo Saltado de Carne

    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

    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.

    Roast chicken, yucca fries and fried plantains. So good.

    The food was incredible. My daughter said it was her new favorite. The portions are huge. They seem a little under staffed but super friendly. Hubby said it's very authentic Peruvian food.

    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.

    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.

I've never had sauce like that! Overall you really can't miss with anything you order. The churrasco ordered by my neighbor looked bomb too.

The server who attended to us, Catherine, took quite a while to greet us, never offered or refilled our water, rarely checked on our table, and left dirty appetizer plates cluttering the table. However, the main reason for this review is a serious issue with my bill. Due to the poor service, I manually adjusted the tip and wrote down $5, but I did not ask for a physical copy of the receipt at that moment. The next day, my workplace required the physical receipt, so I returned to the restaurant to request a copy. It was then that I discovered they had altered my receipt, changing the tip amount from $5 to $8. When I immediately checked my bank account, the transaction was still pending for the original, correct amount. However, two days later, once the charge was fully cleared and posted, I confirmed that they had officially processed the unauthorized higher amount. While a $3 difference might seem small, this is a major issue of honesty, ethics, and transparency. If you visit this restaurant, I strongly recommend demanding a copy of your final receipt on the spot and carefully checking your bank statement a few days later to ensure you aren't being overcharged. Im attaching photos of the altered receipt as evidence.

This time, however, it was a completely different. What kind of restaurant has this become? There was no one at the reception when we arrived. A person who was cleaning the tables was the one who seated us. A little later, a young woman came over looking quite unkempt and dressed in sport clothing. She casually handed us menus that were stained and dirty. It seemed as though the restaurant has no standards for uniforms or customer service protocols. This is an expensive restaurant, so having menus and service like that is unacceptable--it's not a fast-food restaurant. She had no knowledge of the menu. We asked about both the food and drink selections, and she couldn't make a single recommendation or explain any of the dishes. It was honestly embarrassing. The restaurant was almost empty, with only one or two occupied tables. Then another server came over, who also appeared to work there, but somehow the experience became even worse. She didn't seem to understand us, spoke extremely slowly, appeared very nervous, wasn't listening, and honestly seemed either unwell or simply uninterested in working. It was unbelievable. The only person who was truly helpful was the men cleaning the tables. He brought us more water, and we even ended up ordering part of our meal through him because the server never came back to our table. The food itself was good, and the drinks were poor. I expected much better drinks since we saw two people working behind the bar. Overall, I feel the restaurant has lost its standards, and it clearly shows in both the service and the overall presentation. Our server never returned to check on us, and we eventually had to get up ourselves to ask for the check. By then, we'd completely lost any interest in ordering dessert. The food was good, although the portions seemed small considering the prices. What frustrated us most was that our food arrived before our drinks. I don't believe that was the chef's or kitchen's fault. it was clearly a service issue, especially considering the restaurant was nowhere near busy. We've honestly received better service at fast-food restaurants. The restaurant itself is beautiful and has a luxurious atmosphere, but the service is simply depressing. They need to improve or completely overhaul their service if they want customers to come back.
