    Pollo Peruano Lechonada Peruana
    Jimmy V.

    Good food for a decent price. I got 3 small chicken thighs for around $20. My friends also liked the quesabirria. It had outdoor seating and is next to pillar point pier. Take a walk to the pier after eating and enjoy the ocean views! There's a lot of fishermen on the pier always catching crab and various species of fish. Service was fast and efficient.

    Lamas was great. Service was fast and friendly. The food was bomb. I had the birria tacos - they were a hit! Husband had the lomo and it was good. Definitely pay them a visit. It's worth it. Oh p.s. this is for the food truck.

    First time trying Peruvian food and I enjoyed and ate every bite. This is a food truck set up in a parking lot. They had picnic tables set up in the lot and were pretty quick. I thought that the meat was under seasoned, but the green sauce gave it a lot of flavor... without it, it would have been bland... overall good value and quick.

    Excellent spot for a quick lunch in Half Moon Bay. We went to the food truck. I ordered the lomo saltado with shrimp and the cheesy yuca. I loved the lomo saltado with shrimp but would skip the cheesy yuca next time. My bf ordered the lomo saltado with steak, which he liked. I had a bite of his & it was good, but if you like seafood, shrimp is the way to go. They also serve Mexican food here, which I didn't try, but if I were in the mood for Mexican food, might be worth a try.

    Lechonada Peruano

    Found this place on Yelp and was enamored by the pictures so decided to check it out during my lunch break. The food truck was really easy to find it was in the parking lot by the harbor. I ordered the Lechonada Peruana and Cheese Yucas. Lechonada Peruana (4.5/5) The Lechonada Peruana was delicious. The pork belly was very soft and the sauce was flavorful. It was also a large serving size and I ended up eating the left overs for dinner. Cheese Yucas (2.5/5) I was very excited when I saw cheese yucas on the menu because it sounds delicious but unfortunately they were very average. They were lightly fried and fluffy but lacked flavor.

    I was visiting Prince Harbor late last summer. We were across the street at Hob Dogma, the brewery. While we were standing outside, I looked over and saw Lamas Peruvian truck. I walked over, checked out the menu and walked away. That was a mistake! Today I figured out what my mistake was. I only took a look at the Mexican menu and did not see their Peruvian offerings. Today I ordered the ceviche mixto, french fries, along with an Inca Cola. That Inca Cola took me back to my childhood. Back to thee ceviche. Oh My God, that ceviche was delicious and fresh and that freshness was verified by my fisherman friend Omar. Also, you have the option of how spicy you want your ceviche. I like heat and believe me, I got heat. He had the Grilled Chicken taco plate and was happy with it. I can wait to go back and try some more of the items on the menu, thankfully there are lot. The service is great and you can taste the pride they take in their food. Keep in mind it's a food truck and there are some nice picnic tables there.

    Hmm, I wonder what happened here. This cafe is inside the often vacant Shoppes at Harbor Village where they face stiff competition from the more renowned La Costanera. Interesting how the only two restaurants in the mall are both Peruvian like there's a ceviche face-off that's about to occur. I tried it after taking a walk from Moss Beach and decided to sit in the mall to eat. I went for the $17 Pollo Peruano, a trio of slow-cooked chicken thighs marinated in spices. It was served with salad and a scoop of white rice, and there was a thimbleful of their peppery rocoto sauce that was hardly enough to use (photo: https://bit.ly/3ulyCBx). The poultry itself was somewhat overcooked, though the offset was the $6 Platanos Dulce, a generous plating of sweetened fried plantains (photo: https://bit.ly/3bCgyMZ). I was the only one dining there except for a senior couple who stood steadfastly in front of my view of the TV with nary a thought that I was there watching. Anyway I returned a couple of months later. This time there was no sign of that senior couple. Apparently they found their remote at home. More concerning was how I stood at the counter and waited for someone to wait on me. Even though the staff came in and out of the area, absolutely no one acknowledged my existence even after I welped an apologetic "Excuse me". I won't speculate why I was ignored, but I left out of frustration and went to La Costanera. Now I know why there are two Peruvian spots in the mall. Sheesh. FOOD - 3 stars...stellar plantains overshadowed by overcooked chicken thighs AMBIANCE - 3 stars...watch out for indifferent, immobile TV watchers in the mall SERVICE - 1.5 stars...didn't feel ignored on my first visit TOTAL - 2 stars...well, I know another Peruvian place...

    If you are looking for homemade good quality food this is the place! They offered both peruvian and mexican food. The service is great, owner is very friendly and makes sure everyone is okay. They have tables outside in case you want to eat there! We will definitely be coming back! Highly recommended!

    They forgot to remove the beards from the mussles.

    We've been coming to this restaurant for a few years now and Service/Food is always great but today we had some issues with our order/quality of food. We ordered the Ceviche Trio, Lomo Saltado de Carne, Plantanos Dulces, Choritos A La Chalaca, Guacamole with Chips and Chicha Morada $80. First Issue we had was with the Ceviche Trio $25. One of the Ceviche with the squid in it was inedible. It was hard and couldn't chew it because it wasn't left enough time for the lemon to cure it. The owner know this as she said she was going to make it as they were out. Second issue was the Choritos a La Chalaca $13. They were delicious but two of them weren't clean properly and the mussle beards were still left in the mussle. Plantanos Dulces $6 we're delicious as always with a side of crema. Lomo Saltado de Carne $20 was delicious although it seems the plate has less meat than previous times we visited. The lady at the register was very nice and helpful so was the man that was helping her drop off food but let's talk about the owners nasty attitude and lack of caring to hear about the muscle still having the beards attached. As a previous restaurant manager I appreciate feedback when things like this happen and in this industry you need to know how to professionally take criticism but when I mentioned it quietly (even spoke Spanish in hopes that other customers didn't understand) to the owner she had a snarky remark and brushed it of like she wasn't at fault she asked me why I didn't return them. I wasn't asking for a refund or anything. I wanted her to be aware of the situation. I know what it is and just removed it but any other customers would of thought it was hairs or something worse. Her bad attitude and her not wanting to replace the inedible ceviche in the first place was a total deal breaker for us (granted later she did replace it but before that she told the server to tell me she wasn't going to since I had already taken the plate‍). Sadly we will not be coming back to eat here any longer. There's other great choices in the area (Mezza Luna, Barbara's Fish Trap, Seafood Market) and I refuse to support any buisness where the owner has a crappy attitude for something she were at fault for. For her sake I hope her Chef doesn't keep calling out as her cooking isn't as great as his is.

    -Bistek A La Probre [rib eye, fries, rice, fried egg, fried plantains, sautéed tomatoes and onions] ($22) mhmmm so freaking bomb - ive never had Peruvian food before and this is truly one of the most amazing dish i tried recently!! I love the combination of the sweet, the savory, and the spices were so well balanced ‍ besides the amazing food options that were available the staff were equally as amazing. he even shared with us his house made special spicy sauce which was SPICCYY but paired so well with what we were having. The item on the menu I ordered was on the day special -- though it may not permanently be on their menu they have something very similar. i'd say that it's half outdoor and a half indoor meaning that it is not directly inside the restaurant itself but it's outside within the plaza/hallway. if y'all are in the area make sure to stop by bc 10/10 its so so worth the try tip: large parking lot, shared plaza bathroom with a code (make sure you ask the restaurant staff)

    I had an excellent posole at this restaurant. I asked for extra salad because I eat it for two…read moremeals. The staff was very kind and accommodating. They gave me ample lettuce, avocado, onion, cilantro and radish. I got two hot sauces too and they were very spicy. The posole is rich and savory, with very tender pork and hominy. The broth is deep in flavor, but not overly oily. The salad really helps with the richness, and also offers a nice crunchy texture. Posole takes a long time to make, so it is only available at the weekend I believe. Go get some!

    Bland salsa, stale chips, soggy fries, and an unwelcoming experience…read more FOOD: 1/5 Chips & Salsa (complimentary) The chips were hard. They offered two salsas, but both were bland. The orange salsa had a little more spice, but neither had much flavor. Crazy Fries ($17) The fries were soggy, there was only a small portion of beef, and everything tasted underseasoned. It tasted like there wasn't even salt on it. SERVICE: 2/5 Service wasn't terrible but it wasn't good either. There was no greeting when we walked in. I ordered a bottle of water and was told they didn't have any, even though they were visible in the fridge behind the counter. I needed to point to it. I don't expect over-the-top service from a casual taqueria and it wouldn't have bothered me if the food had been good. The disappointing food made the overall experience hard to overlook.

    My family has been coming to Taqueria Tres Amigos ever since they first opened their doors in 1985…read more I wasn't able to experience it until I was about four years old in 1988, but from that point on, it became part of our Half Moon Bay tradition. Whenever we made a trip to spend the day at the beach, we always stopped here first. It eventually became more than just a place to eat before heading to the coast. Sometimes we'd make the drive all the way from San Jose just because we were craving their Carne Asada Dinner Plate. To me, that's always been a sign of a truly special restaurant. Fast forward all these years later, I'm happy to say Taqueria Tres Amigos is just as delicious as I remembered all of my previous visits. , My husband and I stopped by again this past weekend and we left feeling full and happy. Some restaurants change over time, but Taqueria Tres Amigos has remained remarkably consistent, and that's something I really appreciate. We both ordered the Carne Asada Dinner Plate. The steak was exactly what I was hoping for: tender, well-seasoned, and full of that delicious grilled flavor that has kept us coming back for decades. Every bite reminded me why this has always been my favorite order. I've tried their Tacos and other dishes, but I always end up missing my Carne Asada Plate, but I know we all have our own favorites. This one is just mine! The rice and beans are just as good. The Mexican rice is flavorful and pairs perfectly with the steak, and I've always loved the little touch of shredded cheese sprinkled over the beans. It's a simple detail, but it's one I've looked forward to for years. One thing I also enjoy is their self serve chips and salsa bar. We filled up a basket of fresh tortilla chips and helped ourselves to their salsa before our meal arrived. The salsa has a fresh, homemade taste with just the right balance of tomatoes, onions, cilantro, and lemons. It's one of those things that's hard to stop eating while you're waiting for your food. The portions are generous, and every plate comes with all the classic sides: flavorful rice, beans, fresh shredded lettuce topped with cheese and tomato, creamy guacamole, and sour cream. It's a satisfying meal and I know I've already said this, but Tres Amigos will always leaves us full and happy! After nearly four decades, Taqueria Tres Amigos remains one of my all time favorite Mexican restaurants. My husband and I still visit around 10 to 15 times each year, which says a lot about how consistently good the food has been over the years. Whether you're heading to Half Moon Bay for the beaches, taking a scenic drive down Highway 1, or simply looking for authentic dependable Mexican food, I highly recommend stopping here. Some places come and go, but this one has earned our loyalty for four generations, and I hope it continues serving families like mine for many years to come. Thank you for many years of service!

    We popped in here for Father's Day, and it was such a great experience! The restaurant looked…read moreincredibly festive, they decorated the spacious and pleasant atmosphere beautifully with multi color flags and balloons. The ordering setup is great: you order at the counter, get a number for your table, and the warm and welcoming staff brings everything out to you. Plus, the food came out quite fast! We ordered the fish and shrimp tacos, which came with generous, flavorful fillings. The burritos with fish were also fantastic, tostada was good too.but the absolute star of the show was the ceviche salad,it was easily the best and incredibly refreshing! We also loved checking out their great salsa bar. Most importantly, Dad was happy and absolutely loved it. We are so glad we stopped by and will happily return the next time we are in Half Moon Bay!
