    Great service ! Feels like home small inside about 5 tables but food is amazing, have to try the lomo saltado and chicha to drink. Definitely a must go to

    Aguadito de Pollo

    Today was supposed to be an empanada run and then a breakfast outing nearby, already chosen. But we saw Kausa's sign next door and found ourselves caught up by the fascinating menu and some pretty spicy cha cha music that pierced the morning air. We were hooked. Nice menu, and a pretty adorable server who spoke little English. That's OK. I spotted things on the menu I knew I would love. After all, this is not my first Peruvian rodeo! Aguadito de Pollo - aka a green chicken soup. The broth is incredibly green, the result of pulverized cilantro to which have been added generous amounts of chicken, rice, vegetables, Peruvian corn, ginger. Lovely tasting, and welcoming on a Winter's day. The bowl was huge. Half was destined to come home with me. Tamales peruano, chicken. My personal favorite amongst all tamales from our southern neighbors, the masa is more refined, tender and moist. The masa was seasoned impeccably and had tender chunks of chicken throughout, not to mention the mandatory black olive and slice of hard boiled egg on top, all wrapped in a rectangle with a banana leaf, then steamed. Mmmmm. So good! Perfecto. Lastly, the Milanesa de pollo. This is an entire boneless chicken breast that has been breaded with delicate panko crumbs, and perfectly fried to keep the chicken very moist and tender. It covered the entire platter, but was served with rice and some insanely perfect fries that I dare anyone to just eat one. This comes highly recommended. The crowning touch was the thinly sliced red onions that have been soaked to remove the harsh onion flavor then marinated in lime juice. These came with the tamale and the milanesa and are completely irresistable. Yes, eat them with abandon! This was a great discovery. Even though the dining area is just a few tables, I have no hesitation in saying we will enthusiastically return with our family in tow.

    Cool little spot. Limited seating. Familiar menu items you'll feel right at home. The flavor was a little lacking for us. Definitely need some salsa or spicy something. Carb to meat ratio was not balanced. Much room for growth and adjustments to make each dish shine! Gotta get a grandmas touch of luv to excel some flavor profiles. Plenty of parking right in front with nearby eateries and shopping markets.

    My mom and I found this place by chance, just searching for some ceviche... and what a find!!! The ceviche was fantastic and we couldn't resist but ordering more food. After trying their chicken Chaufa (fried rice) and the fried plantains, we got convinced that this will be one of our regular weekend lunch spots! The place is small but the service makes it up! If you are looking for authentic Peruvian food, you should definitely try this one. :)

    Always my go-to! Food is always perfecto! Quick to take orders. Best for takeout Tables are clean if you want to eat inside though. Limited seating. No restrooms for customers. I wish they served tacu tacu.

    This is a really small restaurant (pretty much hole in a wall) with limited seating but the food is pretty good. I came here on a search for the Peruvian green sauce I've craved from a Peruvian place I tried in Irvine over 10 years ago. The Irvine one was pretty spicy, but this one was sadly not. That being said, I really liked their version of the green sauce where it has somewhat of a smoky flavor to it. In terms of the food, I had the Tallarines Verdes Lomo Saltado while my partner got the beef chaufa (pretty much fried rice). I really liked my dish and the creaminess and flavors. It was very saucy with a lot of basil. In addition, the meat was tender and also well seasoned without relying on salt to be front and centers I tried a little bit of the chaufa and it was definitely good, though it wouldn't have been my choice (partner loves fried rice though). I think the biggest downside is the heaviness of the food since there was a lot of butter or cream in the Tallarines verdes. In addition, the fried rice is definitely shiny (though it was delicious). I think also if you are short on time, order ahead and take it to go, as they make it upon order.

    Great spot for lunch! Super delicious. Loved the chaufa. Inca Kola is being served here as well.

    Lomo Saltado / Sautéed Loin

    Came here because of the super good reviews and was really looking forward to trying this place out. I was not a fan though, the meat was super chewy and had no flavor. The cost was $20.99. It wasn't a bad portion size but it lacked flavor so I wouldn't get it again. Also, the green sauce was super watery, I've never had it like that.

    I saw that a new Peruvian place opened up. I chose to get a lomo Salvadoran ($17.99) and a chicha morada ($3.99). A bit warm inside. The lomo saltado was tender and seasoned nicely. The fries were crispy with plenty of sliced onions and tomatoes. Their menu has a good selection. The staff was nice, seating area is intimate.

This location sits at the corner of an apartment complex and there was plenty of parking available when we arrived. The interior definitely matched the vibe I was expecting - a lot of colorful murals, "toasted" imagery, eclectic decor like rubber ducks on every window sill and counter ledge, and plenty of green. The menu had a lot of options and variations with tongue-in-cheek names, but also the common names and descriptions below. Both my friend and I ordered "pinners," which are 8" sandwiches. I got the Kali Mist (Spicy Club) on garlic herb bread and my friend got The Kind (Turkey, Bacon, Shrooms) but without the shrooms on white bread. After ordering at the counter, we took a seat at one of the tables to dine-in. The music was a little loud for my preference, which makes me sound like I'm a million years old but oh well. Our orders were brought over by an employee once they were ready and I was immediately impressed by the amount of toppings and how good everything looked and smelled. My sandwich was super tasty and I especially loved the chipotle mayo and garlic herb bread! Having never tried Cheba Hut before, I immediately asked my friend where the closest location was after taking my first few bites. I'd love to try more sandwiches.

Fresh in-house, handmade, delicious pastas & flavorful sauces, customer service can use a little bit of tweaking. You order at the counter, pay & then your food is delivered to your table. There were about 4-5 counter height tables:/hairs. We sat at a regular table to accommodate my foot with a boot. The food arrived at a reasonable amount of time. Of note, unrelated to our visit, an issue erupted between a customer & a patron that felt uncomfortable for myself & our group because it became a shouting match. This definitely could've been handled in a more professional manner. I'm not placing any blame on either party but de-escalating it would've been appreciated. Overall, the food was delicious. The pasta tasted fresh. The pesto sauce was a tad salty for my taste but it was flavorful. The meatballs were soft, you can taste the quality in their food. We noticed a few flies/gnats flying around our areas & had to swat them away plenty of times. Despite the issues encountered, our group had a pretty good enough time at this pasta shop. I hope the business owner is able to take some of these things in consideration for the sake of its success. Thank you.
