Kausa Peruvian Restaurant - Peruvian Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

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

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

This is my go to spot for Peruvian spot! Everything is great! My wife and I love this spot for their Pan con Chicharron. This is a must and comes with either fried or fried yuca. The ceviche mixto is great too. You can never go wrong with Lomo Saltado. If you love seafood I really recommend the chaufa de mariscos. If you are in Rancho and want some peruvian this is the spot. 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

Kausa Peruvian Restaurant - Peruvian Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

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

Food is great I got the green noodles with steak I forgot what it's called but it's delicious. Service was great, friendly people. Definitely coming back. 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

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 - Ceviche de Mariscos / Seafood Ceviche, Lomo Saltado / Sautéed Loin, Chaufa Especial / Special Chaufa, fried plantains - Peruvian Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

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

Food has good flavor, the place is small - server got bothered because I was trying to help her gather plates from one of the two 4 seater tables available, she also got my order wrong and told me that's what I had ordered. :/ Food took a while but was fresh, I'll probably order take out from now on. read more

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

Kausa Peruvian Restaurant - This is not what an authentic ceviche plate looks like ! Like where's the lettuce where's the camote No cancha ! - Peruvian Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

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

This place is delicious! I got the Saltado de vegetales and a side of fried yuccas. Both were vegan, and so goooood! Sadly the hauncaina sauce is not vegan, but the other food was good enough without it. It was fresh and pretty reasonably priced for the huge portion! read more

Delicious food, great service, and an overall great experience. Space is a little small but other than that one of the most delicious lomo saltados! read more

Super bomb some items that aren't on the menu they make iykyk. But great food good atmosphere and nice workers

Best Peruvian food in the IE and arguably in southern CA. Tamal may go to with the spicy green sauce. Aguadito bowl is huge and hotttt, the way soup is supposed to be! read more

The service is bad, came for breakfast and it opens at 9:30, but they made us wait 6 mins to get the place ready and than 15 mins to order because they were replacing the oil. The waitress is rude and doesn't know how to take an order.They got my order wrong. read more

Kausa Peruvian Restaurant - The noodles are just ok...a little on the flavorless side, the meat is so hard i chewed a piece for a 2 mins I was so afraid to choke on it. - Peruvian Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

As a peruvian, when I find a peruvian restaurant, I look for the bold flavors Peru is known for. I also enjoy good Aji (spicy sauces) Kausa is one of the best I found in the Inland Empire. It's a tiny establishment. I wish they had a bigger place so that I can take my group of friends or several family members to enjoy dinner with however this establishment only seats about 20 people and you will feel like your right on top of each other but that aside, the food is really good. We enjoy the Ceviche, Lomo Saltado, arroz chaufa, tallarin verdes and Kausa Encevichada. I have my eyes on trying other traditional dishes and i hope they are as good as the plates i have already tried. The staff is really nice and helpful as well. read more

Amazing sandwiches and great service. They have a very authentic flavor. I lived in Peru for over 10 years so I can tell when the flavors are authentic. This place is legit. read more

Kausa Peruvian Restaurant - Peruvian Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Food was great ordered 5 different dishes and all were tasty. Definitely a returning customer. The only thing was that seating area was small and the overflow customers had to sit outside. It's a popular spot so it was definitely full on a Sunday afternoon. read more

Excellent service, excellent food, in a cute hole in the wall restaurant. The lomo saltado was seasoned so well, and the meat was tender. The tallarín verde was steaming hot and fresh (both dishes were), and the grilled chicken was tender, and yet crispy on the edges and not dry at all. I really enjoyed the creamy sauce of the tallarín, especially with the green salsa they provide on the side. Seating is a little limited, but I did not have any trouble being seated quickly. Parking is ample here, which is always a plus! read more

I went last week with a couple of friend first time trying this place and it was absolutely amazing great food and great service price was great.. read more

The food had an acceptable taste, though it was on the salty side. Honestly, I've experienced better Peruvian cuisine elsewhere. Given the flavor profile, we might have been more satisfied at a Chinese restaurant. The customer service was decent; the server was working alone and attending to a few customers. The portion size was surprisingly large, allowing my husband and I to share a single plate. However, the meat-to-rice ratio was disproportionate, with a noticeably smaller amount of meat compared to the rice. read more
