Great variety of seafood and chicken dishes Peruvian style. Inca Cola was a hit on many tables.

Some might stay I am stingy with my five star reviews. I tend to reserve them for the rare experiences that truly blow me away, and wow, Las Americas did just that. Situated in the back of a Latin American grocery store, this hole-in-the wall restaurant serves some of the most delicious food I have had on this side of the border. I ordered the Carnitas a la Verde-- the meat was slightly crispy on the outside, exquisitely tender, with all the fat well rendered, impact with flavor. I would drive across the city for this dish alone, and no other carnitas I've eaten have ever come close. The corn tortillas that come with it are also phenomenal; I can't remember the last time I ate ones this authentic. Additionally, the rice and beans, as well as the chips and salsa, were all good. The restaurant was clean and surprisingly spacious. Service was polite and prompt. Las Americas is easily on my short lists of best restaurants in Cleveland, and best Mexican food anywhere. If you want authentic Mexican or Peruvian food, look no further than Las Americas. read more

Las Americas - Carnitas a la Verde - Mexican Near Me - Bedford Heights, Ohio

What a hidden gem! This unassuming little restaurant is tucked in the back of a little grocery store (which has very fresh though limited produce, by the way). All the patrons seemed to be regulars and of Latin American decent, which is a great sign of authenticity! The ceviche was fresh, and I loved my dish. However, the food comes out sporadically (app came after some entr es, and one entree was about 10min after the middle ones). Servers are a bit hard to find/flag down, but they are friendly. The meats were a tad overcooked but the flavors were good. The portions are big. I would return! read more

Hands down the best hole in the wall Peruivan food! I have traveled to Washington, DC, Boston, MA, Atlanta, Ga, Chicago, IL and we always try the best reviewed Peruvian restaurants in every city. Las Americas (Chef Max Diego) takes pride in his presentation and taste. He beats every "fancy" restaurant we have tried. My husband is Peruvian and I am Colombian. We are repeat customers to Las Americas because it's the best! A true Cleveland gem. read more

What a find! Stopped by to pick up dinner on my way home from work based on all the positive yelp reviews. Ordered "las Americas" fajitas and they were outstanding. So much food and so delicious. The guacamole is so fresh and tasty. Service was quick and we can't wait to go back and try some more wonderful entrees. read more

Absolutely disgusting customer service the girl with the braids and I know it was her just because I can tell from her voice and then nasty attitude. I got in person and I could feel coming from her is disgusting. The fact that she is a server at all whatsoever, the fact that she works at your restaurant at all whatsoever the fact that you have somebody like that working for you is disgusting. The fact that I called to just ask if I could pick up some salsa, but couldn't even speak because she just wanted to interrupt me over and over when I was telling her that the only reason I did order was for the salsa and then I couldn't even get to the portion of asking if I could pick some up later because she kept interrupting me and I don't like that. I don't appreciate that so I asked for a manager or an owner so that I could ask them instead I was met with well why do you want to talk to them? I clearly wanted to talk to them because she was getting a nasty attitude with me for absolutely no reason. I love Mexican food. I love my quesadillas. I love my chips and I love my salsa. I also spend hundreds of dollars just a week on Mexican food. I recently moved here and this is not going to be my choice of an establishment to spend my money at. And I do believe that that sucks for you. I also know that she doesn't believe I'm actually going to come in in person, but I will be doing that and the reason I tried to avoid that is because I probably will go off on her because she's so disgusting and so nasty and so rude I tried to avoid that but here we are since she decided to block all of my phone numbers if you want a princess with a nasty attitude serving, you go here read more

The empanadas were beautifully plated. The al pastor plain tacos were ok. The Peruvian food seems to be where it's at. My husband nervously got the fried fish. He was astounded at how good it was especially with the pickled vegetable (we forgot what it was). Everyone at our table wanted to try it. Horchata was also good. Lots of room for big groups. We stopped at the grocery store connected and got some fun stuff including dried peppers. read more

Wow! I am blown away by the incredibly delicious authentic food here. I tried only the Mexican menu and can't wait to try some of the Peruvian dishes. This is the most authentic Mexican food I have had since eating in my friend's mom's kitchen. She was the finest Mexican cook. read more

We frequent this place at least 2 times a month. Food is outstanding and the service is good regardless of how busy they are. Because I don't know enough about Peruvian food, I tend to stick with the same order - the ala cart tacos (which are fantastic). Salsa is very good as well. This isn't a fancy restaurant but it sure is yummy? read more

Don't go here for atmosphere, go here for the food. I lived in Ecuador for 14 years and visited Peru 5 times. I discovered and love ceviche among other Latin America treats. I must recommend Las Americas as a truly typical Peruvian neighborhood restaurant with outstanding ceviche that is sure to satisfy anyone familiar with great food served in typical simplistic settings. My wife, from Ecuador, and I visited for the first time last week and we were pleased. The service, the food, and the Peruvian beer were all excellent. read more

Food was amazing. Ordered the seafood trio on the Peruvian side of the menu. Super impressed with the tasty ceviche. What was even more impressive was the excellent service. We had a very large group and she was super attentive. The ambiance is very low key. A small market as a from and then you enter a glass door in the back that opens into a restaurant seating area.

Las Americas - Causa with shrimp. This is considered an appetizer! - Mexican Near Me - Bedford Heights, Ohio

This is a really great place to get some very good and authentic Mexican Food.  Located in the back of a small plaza at the intersection of Rockside and Aurora Roads is a Latin Supermarket that has expanded from the previous space elsewhere in the plaza.  If you go through the market and find the glass doors you will find a barebones restaurant.  Not much in the way of decor, just some tables with some flat screen TVs.  Although they are in expanding the cafe area, having picked up a large space next door. The menu is actually much more extensive then you would expect, with Tacos, Burritos, Quesadillas, Fajitas and specialty dishes.  Although the place is simple, the dishes come out in huge portions, beautifully presented.    The food is excellent, I enjoyed most of the Shrimp dishes, which use a huge portion of nice sized grilled shrimp. Depending on dish you will get a small Portions are huge, especially for the price, the flavors are excellent and authentic. With my older brother, the carnivore supreme, in town after a trip together up from Florida I had to take him to lunch at Las Americas. He had the Carne Asada and declared that it was awesome; the portion was so huge he could not finish and he was incredibly impressed all around. We started with a side of guacamole to go with the chips and salsa and it was very nice, zippy and bright. The restaurant portion of Las Americas keeps getting better, they are working to make it more and more of a regular sit down restaurant, which is great as long as the food stays excellent. During the weekend they add to the menu with additional Peruvian food choices, so I am looking forward to trying them as well. You can not go wrong at Las Americas, stupendous authentic Latin food beautifully presented at reasonable prices with huge portions. Service is friendly if a bit basic and there is not much decor, but the food more then makes up for it. Go for it. read more

Super food and friendly service. Highly recommend. Great salsa, guacamole, fajitas, burritos too!

I loved the Lomo Saltado, and the surf and turf, ceviche mixto, and the service. I really enjoyed the selection of the grocery store, on the way in. If it looks closed, ITS NOT, there is a dining room area on the business side, but the entrance is on the other side by the road, behind the building. Huge dining area, and great selection. Limited menu during the week, so I recommend going on the weekend. delicious!!!!! read more

This is a Must GO place for Peruvian and Mexican food! the chefs are highly decorated and straight out of those countries bringing us the best culinary experience experience you can imagine here in Cleveland! the best ceviches hand down and on the weekend they offer unique plates suck as seco de carne and Ají de gallina, anticuchos, Parihuela , cau cau and Peru's famous Pollo A La Brasa! el high is a must try !! the prices are fair not like 40$ for a chicken like other weak places! and these are real pictures no filters! come now and see!! read more

Great service and very reasonable prices. The entrance to the grocery store faces Aurora rd. the restaurant entrance is at the rear of the store. The menu offers a large selection and mexican food we were served was excellent. You know the food is authentic when you look around and the customers at the other tables are Hispanic. Peruvian food only served on the weekends. This is Our new go to restaurant and will recommend it. read more

What a gem find, courtesy of Yelp lists. I love that the setup for Las Americas almost looks secret - you come in through a Latin grocery store, find your way through a door in the back, go through an hallway and finally enter this temple of food. Everything was absolutely delicious - the guacamole is a huge portion as you can see in the picture and is some of the best guacamole I've ever had in Northeast Ohio. The ceviche was out of this world, highly recommended. My wife had the shrimp with garlic and mushrooms and I had the tacos, and you don't need me to emphasize again that they were perfect and delicious, right? Service is great as well, this is a must try place, you won't be disappointed. read more

Las Americas - Friends enjoying excellent food after a long day's work. Amigos disfrutando comida excelente después de una jornada duro. - Mexican Near Me - Bedford Heights, Ohio

Excellent little bare bones establishment for a Latin American fix, with a Peruvian bent on Saturdays. Make sure to use the grocery store entrance on the opposite side of the strip mall, otherwise you'll be looking in sadly on a bunch of diners beyond a locked door. And to grab enough cash in advance. If ambience, fine silverware, and style are your thing, Las Americas will not be your destination. But this trade-off is made in favor of authenticity, pride in cooking, and price, you'll be heartily rewarded. I get the feeling that there's no "method" to ordering here. It's more of an aunty's house vibe where you grab a menu and sit wherever. But you do have to flag someone's attention to pick the menu items you want and of course, pay at the end. On Saturdays as previously mentioned, they have tilapia for Peruvian style ceviche, which is marinated in a sour bath of lemon-lime juice for maximum sour-packed punch. If you ask nicely (or bring a charming Peruvian lady with you), you can get other unlisted menu items like a Peruvian pesto pasta. But like any good Latina aunty's house, they do NOT skimp on portions. The kitchen is just feet away from the dining area, so everything came out super fresh. And in contrast to the bland walls, the food came out full of color, clean of presentation. Our Ceviche Peruana was a heaping platter of fish and potatoes with Huancaina sauce. We also got three tacos (shrimp, al pastor, and carnitas), and an entree dish of shrimp and beef. Each taco came double wrapped in soft corn shells, onions, and cilantro, and a little bowl of hot sauce. The shrimp was my favorite of the tacos as the others could have used a little more seasoning. The other meats were juicy and tender, but I have to say we couldn't get over the Ceviche. And because we loved the Ceviche so much, we ended up just spooning the soup onto literally EVERYTHING. No shame. For how full we got from just three dishes, it's amazing how little we paid. Less than Taylor Swift's new album paid. With those savings, you can go get yourself something nice from the store on your way out. read more

A decent spot for tacos if you live nearby, but not a must visit destination. Las Americas is a Latin market with a little no-frills restaurant attached. It's located in a plaza and currently there is some construction going on/front doors are blocked off so you'll need to enter from the side entrance and go through the market to get to the restaurant area (but you'll need to take your bill and pay at the market register). Prices are the lowest I have seen so far for tacos. Seemed like a busy place very popular with the local Hispanic/Latino population. I felt bad I took French in school and not Spanish, but no worries about communication as staff is friendly/patient and will help you out. I got four tacos and tried the chicken, pork, and steak for $1.99 and the shrimp for $2.19. I also got a side of the rice and beans for $2. Big meal for super cheap! However the beans are whole not refried like I prefer and the tacos are a little to plain for me as they come with just onions, cilantro, and house spicy salsa. No toppings bar, you get what they give you. I bought an avocado in the store for $1.19 to slice up and add to my tacos that I was taking to-go. About the toppings, they probably serve them the authentic way, it's likely American influence that has other places offering up a variety of toppings/sauces. Overall it was a satisfactory and filling meal, but nothing super tasty/full of flavor. (I still can't find a soft corn tortilla that I love). I did see some really good looking dishes that others where chowing down on so I will give this place another try and order something different. They might not have the best tacos, but they could have some other dishes that are great. Give them a try and see for yourself! read more

Great place to get authentic Hispanic food. Has a great selection of products at good prices.

Very authentic place... Have been here close to a dozen times now. The food rocks, the tacos, burrito poblano and quesadilla Al Pastor are my favorites. Shrimp tacos have been great every time but once. (We all have off days) Beans that come with burrito are sooo tender and silky smooth. Like they've been slow cooked, how you'd make at home. Rice is moist and tender/fluffy. Always seem to pick something up in the market too. If you like to cook it's a great place shop. read more

Terrible ! Rice too watery and food was too spicy. Was not a welcoming atmosphere to anyone being non Hispanic. Waste of money & tip.

Named after the bowl it is served in, the molcajete is becoming one of my favorite Latin dishes to eat. The version served at Las Americas was a little different than I have had at other places. And it was only just ok. The biggest difference was the inclusion of a cheese quesadilla within the bowl and an above average amount of peppers. All of the meat was over cooked and chewy. In a continuation of the theme, the meat and tortillas on their recommended carnitas taco was also pretty dry and bland. The flavor profile of their molcajete worked well and it had the right mixture of cheese melted in with everything. Their serrano, jalapeño and bell peppers were all grilled very well and added a positive element to the meal. On the side, it came with lettuce, tomato, a whole sliced up avocado, rice and pinto beans. Overall, nothing was amazing but I would potentially visit again in the future. Also beware: even though they have credit card signs on their door, they only accept cash. read more
