The service is quick, the food is fantastic! We ordered the lomo saltado and a pork tamale. I couldn't stuff my face fast enough! I was amazed how much flavor the meat had and the sauce was perfect. The rice was the second star on the plate. I suggest letting the fries soak the sauce too it's the perfect bite when you get everything on your fork. Ask for extra pickled onion you won't regret it. My husband hates onion and he kept eating it by itself. I love this place and I love that it's so close by. I am truly a fan and I can't wait to bring family and friends here. read more

Do I dare say this is the best Peruvian restaurant in Rancho Cucamonga? I've been to all six of them in IE, I don't care about ambience I only care about good food, and this has very very good food.. they cook all the food in front of you, and the servers are always so sweet and cute read more

I don't usually do reviews but when the food is outstanding like this one I guess it's a must. I ordered delivery to my house in Eastvale and DoorDash serviced it although is quiet far Rancho Cucamonga about 30 min. I'm Peruvian and picky with my Ceviche I absolutely love this one, Delicious and the way is was package for delivery outstanding well done , The Lomo Saltado had quality meat excellent authentic Peruvian Flavor , I also ordered Chaufa Especial All 3 dishes did not disappoint , I think is my number one in the Area , Kausa is #1 follow by Pollo Kriollo #2 in Corona and MICAS #3 in Ontario read more

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. read more

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. read more

After placing an order and being told it'll be ready in 15 minutes we go get our food and the lady tells us they don't have bread and stated she had came out to look for us but we were parked by the front and never saw her come out. Could have just gone else where instead of wasting time. read more

WOW, I ate lots more than I should have, but I just couldn't stop,highly recommend this place.. Not enough stars to rate it , small place, but don't come for the ambiance, definitely come for the food, it won't disappoint... Enjoyed x10 read more

The food is incredibly delicious and fresh. That said, this isn't a fast-food spot, so make sure to allow plenty of time--my order took about 45 minutes. read more

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. read more

A hole in the wall very authentic my ceviche was fresh and spicy'!! Tried a Saltado Especial shrimp, beef, chicken it was all very delicious the sauce made it even better. We loved the fast customer service and our food was made fresh! The music sets the ambience read more

We have tried this place about 5 times now. Probably better than anything else in the area. We also like Mr Pollo in W Covina but this is much closer. My Peruvian wife has no complaints and neither do I. For a small place, it satisfies the craving for lomo, causa. Service is not expected to be perfect here. It's a family owned place and employees come and go. If the food isn't perfect, let them know so they can improve next time rather than complain about it on here, or don't go back. For the rest of us out here in this area, this is solid Peruvian cuisine. read more

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. :) read more

Kausa Peruvian Restaurant - Chaufa de Pollo / Chicken Chaufa - Peruvian Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

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. read more

Really can't go wrong with Peruvian food. Although this is the third time this specific location has switched owners/name, the food seems to just get better. Kausa has some unique offerings that I haven't had the chance to try. The kausa acevichada is like a stacked potato salad with ceviche..sounds interesting but is actually a pretty good lunch appetizer. The seafood lomo saltado contained a generous amount of slightly battered seafood. My friends have never had tallerin verde before and they loved it. Their green sauce isn't creamy and more green but still the perfect accompaniment to the food. They have lots of drinks and some dessert options as well. The place has minimal seating and some outdoor seating. read more

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. read more

I was craving Peruvian for pickup and looked up Peruvian places around me and went with the one that had the most stars (this one). I tried calling to place an order but to my surprise, their phone is not even taking any calls. Despite this, I drive 13 minutes to this place to order in person and when I got there the lady working here tells me they are not taking any more orders. It was 6:00. And they close at 6:30. Yet they had tables filled with customers everywhere. I told her I just want an order to go, and she didn't care, she kept saying it in a silence voice that they aren't taking any orders. She said it so low I couldn't hear it and had to ask her to repeat it twice. Was she lying? Only she knows. I left, and went to try Incas Peruvian place. They took my order over the phone cause their phone DOES work, I will write a good review at Incas restaurant because they did such a good job. Needless to say, I won't be coming back for Kausa. It's not worth the drive or the time. read more

Family member recommended i check this place out. Its truly a hidden gem. The food was sensational and the service was great. We ordered Lomo Saltado and a Pork Tamale to share and it was enough for the both of us. Lomo Saltado was my favorite out of the two it had an amazing sauce and tender steak. They also had a green sauce provided on the that you could put on your food. it was tasty and packed a slight kick. I also tried a Inca Kola which is a peruvian soda it had a very good taste. if you're in the area stop by and give this place a try you wont regret it! read more
