Okay, the interior has stepped up its game. It's gorgeous inside and feels like you're coming home to a place that is filled with so much love, dedication, warmth, and so much delicious food. I always come here for my ceviche, and it hits every single time. I love Julianna's!
This Peruvian restaurant has a nice small private lot where you can park, otherwise you can try street parking around the block. When we walked in, I noticed a bit of a musty smell inside the building. I have a sensitive nose, so maybe others did not notice, but I did. That was a bit of a turn off. When you get the menu, you will see many items with the prices scratched off or with colored stickers on top of them...so if you need to know the prices, you need to ask. Or, look at the receipt afterwards to know how much you have been charged for the entrees. There were 6 of us, so we all ordered many things and overall the food was good at all levels. My Churrasco (I ordered medium RARE) came cooked medium well, but since we were so hungry and my husband's meal came like 5 minutes after everyone else's, I ate it. It wasn't bad, but that tells you that usually it's better to ask for the meat to be undercooked, so it comes to you not too overcooked. The cheese salteña was puffy with a nice sweet dough enrobing a minimal cheese filling....barely no cheese filling..... Their chaufa was large and plentiful, as well as the ceviche dish. The maduros were all sweet and well done, so that was a good thing. The waitress was very pleasant and nice. The food was good, but definitely not my top choice for Peruvian food in the area.
The food and service here is top notch. I absolutely loved the Lomo Montado with sirloin. The music, ambiance, and art is great to look at while having classic Bolivian cuisine. I plan on packing some saltinas to bring back with me to Houston. My Bolivian wife was even so impressed with the food, and the staff were so friendly!!!
I love it here the food is very authentic and delicious. It's kinda like Los Andes restaurant but just different look. Nice and clean and good service as well
The restaurant could use more decor- brighten up the culture. I was not happy that the extensive menu had no prices. This could get tricky. We had the tamale which was sweet, hot and delicious. Then we had the Saltenas- best around. Hot from the oven and tasty on the tongue. I could eat ten of these! Then the main meal- soooo good. Very tasty and plentiful. The cheesy rice was so good and the chicken a lo pobre hit the spot. The waiter was super nice and very on his game. In the end the food was not pricey and you got more than what you paid for. I was very pleased. I will be back again.
Near by there is not other restaurants where you can enjoy a beer with your meal. So I decide to stop by and it reminded me to Los Andes in chalkstone Avenue before they got huge and more like fine dining. I order the lomo montado with ribeye and it was cooked perfectly medium rare (which I was surprised because Spanish restaurants are afraid to cook rare meat). Portions are generous for the price. No beer on top but really good selection on bottle. Next time I'll bring my family. Just one think they need some music just have atmosphere. Overall great place to I forgot they put on the table a home made jalapeño salsa that you can drink. It was delicious
Julianna's is my favorite restaurant for Peruvian and Bolivian food in Providence/RI. I have 2 go-to orders whenever I get food from there: Pescado a lo macho OR ceviche de pescado. The pescado a lo macho is a bit of a heavier dish with a big piece of fried fish with mussels, squid rings and tentacles, and shrimp in a slightly spicy red broth. It comes with a delicious white rice that must have been cooked in a chicken or very well seasoned stock. If the main dish wasn't so good, I could order just the rice and be happy with my decision. It also comes with some fried yucca/cassava. The other dish pictured is ceviche with fish and shrimp that my girlfriend loves!
Update: I called in and ordered the Tallarin Saltado de Carne, Bistek a lo Pobre and the ceviche mixto. When I picked up my order there was a language barrier so I assume everything was right when I got home it wasn't! I didn't have the Tallarin Saltado de Carne, I had rice instead of noodles, (picture below). Call ins over the phone are stressful with the language barrier but the food is amazing.
This is probably one of my favorite places to get food. The food is seasoned very well, it comes very hot, and always fresh. Arroz con mariscos and the ceviche is AMAZING! You can really taste the freshness in the fish, it is so soft and tender. Also, lomo saltado de camarones is my fav, I'm not sure if it's on the menu but when I ask for it they always do make it The reason why I can't give a 5stars is just the service , which is unfortunate. There isn't any order or organization (my opinion). Too long to get seated, waitresses aren't always in the best mood, food takes a long time to reach the table, not so many check-ins with the table if anything is needed. It was like this at the older location as well but maybe with more time this new locations' service will increase in satisfaction. But I have to say that the food always has me coming back, it's that good. Super super yummy!

Hands down the BEST Peruvian food I have EVER had. Everything was seasoned and cooked to perfection! My favorite part of the entire night was when they brought out a whole bottle of their amazing signature sauce to every table instead of giving it out in small containers which is traditionally done at Peruvian restaurants. The service and atmosphere here was also a 10/10! I definitely recommend coming here!! read more

I love this restaurant. The staff is so friendly and the service is great. This is my 4th time here and the food is fantastic! read more
We went for dinner for two this Friday evening, on the recommendation of several Spanish-speaking friends. It was noticeable that although it is a spacious venue, there were relatively few full tables for a Friday evening. The server, Blanca, was very prompt and attentive, but she didn't advise us of their policy of charging a 20% service charge in addition to their suggested gratuity ranging from 15-25% additional to the service charge. We ordered their empanadas de queso which turned out to have a sweet crust and almost no cheese, so instead of a savory appetizer it turned out to taste like a bland dessert. Their chicha morada limeña drink is not from Lima and it's not freshly made, it was served in its bottle that identified it as made in the USA. It was overly sweet. My girlfriend ordered their Jalea dish(spicy deep fried seafood with fries, fried yucca, and roasted maize) and that turned out to be very good and a very generous portion, which could be good enough for two. I ordered their pescado a la parilla (grilled fish) made with corvina, and again the portion was large, and it was accompanied by a house salad and boiled yucca and a giant rice ball. The fish was fresh but overly salty, and the yucca/rice combo was too much starch and a green or yellow hot vegetable offering with either starch would have greatly improved the dish. read more

I came here Bc I love Los Andes, and whenever I tell someone that, they say I have to try Julianna's. I got the arroz con mariscos, which is similar to the paella at Los Andes (yes yes, I know there is a difference but flavor wise it is similar). I found the portion size to be huge, and while there was a ton of rice, they also did a good job packing in shrimp, calamari and mussels. My gf had the ribeye with plantains and while she loved the plantains, she complained the ribeye was tasteless. She also had a size of beef stew and enjoyed that. The server was extremely sweet. There was also a parking lot, which was nice! read more

I love coming to Juilianna's. The decor is simple, the space is a little bigger than they probably need and there is plenty of space between each table. Usually when i come in there aren't very many people eating in the restaurant. They typically do a ton of take out. The waiter here is very attentive and sweet. He's the type of guy who calls you honey and you don't get weirded out by it. He always makes suggestions on what we might like and always makes sure our water glasses are full. Though the waiters reccomendations always sound great i usually end up ordering the Lomo Saltado. The steak is so flavorful and when the rice and french fries soaks up the sauce which accompanies the steak it can't be beat! The soups, when they don't run out, are very hearty and tasty. I've tried all of them except the peanut soup (as i'm allergic). I think if i had to pick a favorite it'd be the beef soup. The hominy and larger portion of corn and beef in there are great. The owner of the restaurant usually comes by and checks in on us and thanks us for coming in. She's really sweet and nice. You can really tell she loves what she does. During my last visit she mentioned that they were looking into changing locations to somewhere on/near chalkstone blvd. I can't wait to see what the new place will look like. This hidden gem could definitely give Los Andes a run for it's money! The food is just as good if not better at Julianna's, the prices are much more reasonable, and there are no scary mannequins like there are at Los Andes. Give Juilanna's a try! You won't be sorry! read more

GREAT FOOD ALERT!! If Julianna's was closer to my house, we would go at least once a week. The place is not fancy but with food like this, who cares that the restaurant is dated. My wife and daughter split the jalea (fried seafood platter for 2), and I got the ceviche mixto. The jalea was very plentiful. They could not finish it. The shrimp and mussels were fried perfectly. The ceviche might have been the best ceviche I've had in years. The waitress was very friendly and took great care of us. She explained each dish to us as though she were the expert chef. read more

It's good food Bolivian food. I have not tried the Peruvian side of it yet. *As far as the Salteñas they are quite small and cost more compared to other places. They are tasty but they could be bigger for the price. "3 inches in average" *Customer service is wonderful . *excellent portions on the dishes and soups. read more

My first time at Julianna's. They offer Peruvian as well as Bolivian food. The staff was very friendly and very attentive. We had a large group and our food took a bit long to make it to the table, but we were pleased when it did. While we waited the waiter was attentive and brought us drinks and offered appetizers which we ordered; the yuca frita (fried root) was excellent, salchipapas (hotdogs with french fries), my niece ordered an empanada which was not to her liking as it was a bit sweet. I was a bit disappointed at how some were served their food before others instead of all the food arriving at the same time, but like I said we were a large group so I can only assume the order must of been difficult. We were offered drinks and since the kids were thirsty we were given the option of getting a 2 liter bottle instead of glass after glass (maybe because there were a lot of us). I liked that the waiter was able to separate the orders so at the end each family could pay for their orders (heads up, the tip will be included in your total, you don't have to tip separately). Pros: food is good, staff is friendly and accommodating. Cons: food takes a little long and food came to table at different times (reason for 4 stars instead of 5) I will be returning . read more
For take out, I very much enjoyed the mixed seafood ceviche! It was fresh and such a large serving. Location was easy to find and easy parking. The atmosphere is nothing fancy, as you can see from my pictures, however don't let that fool you on how amazing the food is. Very friendly service. We ordered our food for pick up and it was immediately ready-in and out. I will definitely be back to try dine in option. read more
