    Delicious food! The service was very friendly and accommodating. The decor was very Peruvian authentic style that added to the charm. Will be back!

    Local restaurant that serves Peruvian food, we got the Empanadas filled with Mozzarella Cheese & Ham and Ground Beef, Pollo Saltado (Chicken strips sautéed with red onions, tomatoes, cilantro. Served with white rice & fries), daily special of the roasted chicken and fries, Alfajor (Cornstarch and flour cookies with Manjar Blanco in the middle, topped with powder sugar), & Passion fruit juice! The service was outstanding and the place is clean, cute, and inviting!

    We couldn't wait to try this Peruvian restaurant for our craving for Lomo Saltado, didn't disappoint at all, close to perfection. The meat was sautéd deliciously tender enough yet the soy sauce was way more than desirable which made it saltier. We enjoyed the causaus as well, both pollo and shrimp, visually appealing too! The service is friendly and ambience caters to families, big groups and most importantly any type of celebratory occasions. Definitely, a revisit is already planned...

    Rodrigo was an amazing server! He was extremely helpful with explaining the menu and giving recommendations. He even gave us some of their salsas to try out which were delicious and spicy. My family and I will definitely be back for some good food and good vibes :)

    Consistently excellent and authentic food paired with friendly service. The owners remain actively involved in the business, which shows in the quality and care they put into every detail. The ambiance is warm and inviting, decorated with beautiful Peruvian art that enhances the dining experience. My only suggestion would be to provide a printed, itemized receipt so customers have time to review their bill rather than being shown only the total on an electronic device.

    The BEST Lomo Saltado I've Ever Had! I'm a self-proclaimed connoisseur of Lomo Saltado -- it's my favorite dish, and I go out of my way to try it at every Peruvian restaurant I find. This place absolutely blew me away. At first glance, I thought it might be a little dry since there wasn't much sauce, but one bite in and I was hooked. The meat was perfectly cooked, so tender and full of rich, savory flavor, with just the right amount of juice soaking into the fries and rice. It was pure perfection -- easily the best Lomo Saltado I've ever tasted. The restaurant itself is adorable, cozy, and welcoming, and the staff couldn't be sweeter. You can tell they really care about the food and their guests. I'm honestly tempted to come back tomorrow just to have it again -- or maybe bring my grandchild and explore more of their amazing Peruvian dishes. Do yourself a favor and try this place -- you'll thank me later!

    I can't wait to return to this restaurant to experience more authentic Peruvian delicacies. My favorite dishes are in this menu. I tried two things for the Jan 25' ISCUYE... Empanadas - 5s Somo Saltado - 4 s I can't wait to return to try the pollo a la brasa. The restaurant is in a very convenient location in midtown in the heart of the Melrose neighborhood. the staff was very accommodating and friendly. Service was 5s. My return factor:100%

    My husband is Peruvian and this place is legit!!! We have eaten at Peruvian restaurants accross the country and this place is at the top. The service was excellent. They were busy but still attentive. Great atmosphere and clean. We loved the look. The food was the real star. You will see several reviews mentioning the lomo saltado and there is a reason why. It was great. The causa was awesome. The ceviche was great and can very in style slightly by region. This one leaned towards the creamy side. The flavor was excellent and spice level was great. No matter what you do save room for the lucama ice cream. They make it there and it is worth every calorie.

    We were introduced to this place by a local Americana-Peruvian friend. It's definitely a good place for Peruvian food -- which is delicious! We ordered Pisco Sou, Ceviche Clasico, Puloo A La Parrilla, Empanadas, Yucas Fritas, Anticuchos, and Delicia De Maracuya (dessert). We shared all dishes as a family style to taste all the tasty dishes -- definitely a good way to start out. We learned that this location, owned by the son, is related to the other Peruvian on 7th Ave (same name by the father). This location is newly opened and offered a more playful menu, not as traditional dishes. We have dined at the 7th Avenue location a few times. This is new location for us. We throughly enjoyed our experience here. The parking situation is a great improvement here. Cheers & happy dining.

    We had a great time celebrating my Husband's birthday here. The food and atmosphere was the perfect choice. They even have a fun birthday dancing man come out with sparklers to sing happy birthday and bring a little birthday plate. It's fun! The service was great. I definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back!

    The ceviche mixto (super spicy) hands down the best! Whenever I'm on a business trip or in town in Phoenix it's automatic

It's welcoming, delicious, and absolutely worth the stop.

The Papas Verde had an addicting tang from the tomatillo salsa but were brilliantly balanced out by the chorizo and asadero cheese. The shaved brussel salad could have used a little more date and chile to balance out the vinegar but I was pleased either way. The elote was probably the only thing that fell short execution-wise as I didn't get much of the chorizo flavor, but the cook on the corn itself was perfect. The Gambas al Ajillo are absolutely a must-get. Juicy, sweet shrimp with an unexpected kick from the butter sauce and unsurprisingly great bread from Noble. The Tlayuda was a little heavy on the lettuce, but the smoked pork and bean puree combo were so flavorful that it helped balance out the richness with texture and freshness. I also loved the crispy contrast from the fried tortilla. We ended with the Concha and Mango Sticky Rice ice cream which sounded pretty simple but was quite impressive in its own right. The ice cream was a touch too frozen, but it ended up working out well with the crunchy cornflake coating and lightly warmed, pillowy concha to make a really satisfying ending to our meal. Service was excellent and the patio was well-lit and had heaters ready for colder weather. Vecina is on the pricier side for sure, but you will not be disappointed.

I must have had a brain fart or something because right after I walked in, the worker greeted us and immediately told us they had empanadas. He said they had chicken, beef, and cheese empanadas. I immediately ordered three chicken and three beef. I forgot about the arepas. The guy said it would be ten minutes. So we browsed their store. As soon as you walk in to the business, the small place looked like it is set up to ship packages. It has a small grocery store in the back, and has a kitchen on the side. The whole store was small, but clean. There was no seating in this place as it is not a sit down restaurant. Food orders are placed to go. Almost ten minutes exactly our empanadas came out. We took them to our car and ate there. We wanted to eat them fresh and hot and boy were they steaming hot. I loved the crispness of the shells. The filling was very flavorful and moist. I dipped them in the salsa and they had had a nice kick. They were delicious!We were able to polish off four. After we arrived home some thirty minutes later, the empanadas were still warm and surprisingly still crispy! I ate the last two. I will definitely return to try their arepas!

We both love Latin and Asian cuisine so the menu seemed to fit our palate Was seated pretty quick and they handed my gf a rose. Got me extra brownie points for sure (told her I arranged that jokingly lol) The vibe is awesome a dimly lit jungle vibe for the Peruvian inspiration. Good music not too loud like other "high end" spots in Scottsdale that try to do too much. They also had a fire performer in the middle of our dinner which added to the ambiance. We sat inside but the outdoor seating also looked nice. During the day this place would have great views of the golf course I imagine. Onto the food, oysters were great quality, fresh but still briny. Had a pineapple mignonette that complimented well. My gf doesn't like oysters but these were small enough for her to enjoy with the added sweetness. Calamari was also solid, had a great chipotle aioli and ginger scallion oyster sauce on the side. The salmon ceviche was a bit of a let down. More like a crudo if you ask me, but still great flavors. Cocktails were great too! The corn mezcal was super unique. Not the biggest mezcal person but it sounded too good to pass up and definitely glad I tried it. My gf got the pisco sour and it was perfectly tart but refreshing. For mains we got the Lomo Saltado and Salmon. Both were great, Lomo Saltado was super tender and had great flavors. Same with salmon, nothing too unique but still on point Overall all the food was very well seasoned and flavorful. Nothing lacked. Cocktails were good. Service was a bit slow but our waiter (forget his name) was very professional and fun. Gave a ton of recs and was very animated. Worked there for 4+ years if I remember correctly and it showed.

That being said, service was very slow and the food was lackluster. I had the recommended pork and scallops, my wife decided on the lobster fried rice. The pork was basically chunks of pork fat, nearly inedible. The scallops were ok, ended up just skipped the pork. The lobster fried rice was better, but small portions and a very small lobster serving made us wonder how this dish cost $49. We hoped me might finish with a dessert to pick up the mood after a lackluster meal. The salted carmel brownie we decided on wasn't great; tasteless and bland, it just wasn't worth it. All in all, for a two person, $300 meal, there are much better options. Would not repeat and certainly would not recommend.
