Anticuchos - Beef heart skewers are kinda hard to find around here, but this one has definitely caught my heart. Amazingly marinated, and grilled perfectly, the anticuchos came slightly pink in the middle. It gave a very good flavour and chew. Would recommend if you are adventurous. Yuca fries were crispy on the outside fluffy on the inside with a little sweetness on the inside. Quarter leg + peruvian salad - The salad was a premium salad with tomatoes, cucumbers and avocados! The quarter chicken was plump and was cooked very well. Also marinated very and grilled very well. Would recommend! Service was a bit slow on the weekday, but food came out nice and our water did get filled, so can't complain much. Would probably come back again.

Good Peruvian food in Markham. Had the Antiochos (grilled beef heart skewers), tilapia ceviche, 1/2 Peruvian roast chicken with basmati rice and Peruvian salad, the Jalea platter, lomo saltado, and the encebollado de pescado (fried tilapia). The grilled beef hearts were excellent and perfectly grilled and seasoned. The Jalea platter was good and perfectly fried and light even though they were fried. The Peruvian Chiu was well seasoned and was cooked well. The lomo saltado was good and the gravy over the fries with the meat was good. The ceviche was good and fairly good size. The fish was ok, it eas well seasoned it overcooked.

It's been a while since I came here, but it's amazing I got the half chicken, with yuca fries, and you have to get it with the hot sauce and green sauce, the chicken was tender and mixed with spices, it melts in your mouth, staff was attentive, this place was much bigger than their old one, more seating, if you want a whole chicken you can only get that for takeout, the ambiance was nice, a lot bigger and more spacious than their old location, the yuca fries were perfectly crisp and soft in the inside, and if we needed more sauce the waitress didn't hesitate to give us, decent portion a bit pricey but the chicken was worth it

They get 3.5 stars. The first time I went, the chicken was great: moist, flavourful and roasted to perfection with delightfully crisp skin. The Chica morada (purple corn drink) was a bit of an acquired taste - slightly sour. The Picarones were unbelievably light and crispy. Unfortunately they had almost no taste except for a bitter undertone and the raw sugar cane syrup was simplistic and didn't do much. On another occasion, got takeout from them. Arroz con mariscos (seafood rice) was pretty tasty & it was a big portion. Ceviche was tasty, came with fish & mussels & it was quite big. The seafood is not the freshest but it's still ok. The Chicken had a nice BBQ flavour with a hint of sweetness. The chicken flesh was a bit dense though.

Ceviche

I've passed by this place so many times and finally took the plunge on a whim. I got the Lomo Saltado, and the ceviche for takeout. While the price does seem a bit high, the portion sizes are quite large. $25 for ceviche is quite steep but the portion is enough for like 6 servings. I really wanted to like the Lomo Saltado, I really did. But it was honestly almost inedible. The beef was cooked to death and was so dry and bland. The rice had a nice flavour but was way too salty. I tried to mix everything together to try and balance the flavour but the brown sauce underneath was even saltier. That green sauce did add a nice flavour to the dish, but everything was just far too salty to enjoy. The ceviche was pretty good. A little bit salty but it had a nice flavour. I'm not sure if it was potato or yuca, but I've never had it in ceviche and I honestly really liked it. I'm not sure if I enjoyed the cancha or not. While it adds a nice flavour, the texture was very unpleasant. It was chewy and stale. Kind of like eating a handful of popcorn kernel shells. The chunks of ceviche were also not cut the same size . There's some big chunks, some small, and some strips. While I don't particularly mind the variation, I think it would have been more balanced if the pieces were more uniformly cut.

Seafood rice (arroz con marisco) was delish!!

I've been a fan of Los Chicos since they opened, because of their flavorful menu items and reasonable prices. I went back today for their seafood rice with mussels, shrimps and squid - and omg, it was delicious as expected and I was pleasantly surprised by the price! For $22 it overflowed my serving dish, and look at the amount of seafood shown in rhe photo! I was too hungry to dig up the shrimps and squid that's buried in the rice, but I assure you there's more!

This is my second time trying peruvian food. I'm a bit biased though, cause my peruvian great aunty comes over once a year to make peruvian food. But here's the review: Ordered the following: Yuca fries so delicious! That green sauce makes it so good, I don't know how to describe it. The taste of the yuca fries is not like eating regular french fries. For me, it's a bit bland... but once you add the green sauce it changes the playing field in your mouth. Ceviche had large chunks of fish and mussles. It was quite good. I'm use to the fish being cut up smaller. But this was tasty and filling. Lomo Saltado to be honest, was actually my least favourite... just because there were too many fries. Especially if you ordered yuca and then you find out your entree also had more fries it was a bit overwhelming. Plus the sauce from the beef soaked into the fries and made it taste a bit soggy and bit salty too. The beef was a bit tough. Roasted chicken (didn't get a chance to take a picture but was the highlight of the whole meal. I really enjoyed the way they roasted the chicken, skin was slightly crispy and the meat was tender. I'm a dark meat type of gal, so it was so yummy. I think the price overall was a bit expensive. But all in all, good experience.

Roast half chicken

Los Chicos is a solid 4 stars. Situated in Markham is this awesome Peruvian restaurant serving traditional fare (the menu is also completely halal). They have a takeout section in the front followed by quite a lot of seating in the back. Came on a Friday night of the long weekend and was seated immediately. The maître de was very kind and friendly, as was the waitress. I decided on what is a classic Peruvian dish - roast chicken with yuca fries on the side. My table also ordered the pasta/meat dish (for the life of me the name escapes me). The roast chicken was delicious. According to the menu it's slow cooked for up to 24 hours. It was so juicy and the skin was incredibly crispy. What really stood out were the signature Peruvian sauces which were quite amazing. The pasta was not bad but the spotlight here was really on the chicken. I found the pasta quite salty and filled with onions. The yuca fries were a bit too salty for my liking as well. In all, the service and chicken at this restaurant were quite good. I'd definitely r

This place was average. That word best sums up my experience. Came here to celebrate my friends' birthdays last night. The restaurant was smaller than I thought it would be, with not that much seating. It also wasn't that busy for a Saturday evening. Service was alright. It was good for the most part, but I did have to ask for our glasses of water to be refilled. We were also not able to order alcoholic beverages. This irked my dinner companions who wanted to enjoy a glass of beer/wine with their meals. On to the food - I ordered the quarter chicken leg and yuka fries. I liked the flavour and seasoning of the chicken but it was quite small in size. You can see the portion size of chicken to yuka fries from my picture. For $13.50, I didn't think it was worth the price. The yuka fries were crispy and good though. I also liked the two sauces that came with the dinner. As I said, this place was average and it didn't have enough to bring me back, so I probably won't return.

First time ever having Peruvian food! Fresh tilapia fish, sirloin beef sautéed, pollo a la Brasa.... Yum! And the most impressive dish is the Peruvian ice-cream!

Inca Kola
Lisa C.

I would say this is a 3.5 stars rating. The good: Let's start with the food. I ordered the 2 double leg chicken with yuca fries, ceviche and the anticuchos (beef heart). They were all very delicious, and well seasoned. I loved the 3 dips they provided. I dipped my yuca fries in all of them. The waiter was friendly and helped us when we settled in. The bad: You should make a reservation because the wait is long! I waited 50 minutes on a weekend to get a table and was told it was a 30 min wait. The anticuchos was just okay and was a bit tough, so maybe I didn't get it on a good day. I would come back as this is a nice Peruvian restaurant for the Markham area.

papa a la huancaína

I gave these guys a 4.5 star at their old location (literally just judging their signature chicken) and after my recent visit at this new location I'm gonna bump it up to 5 stars. Incredible meal. Wow. Where to start. Ok first off, when I frequented the old establishment, there weren't very many items on the menu and it seemed like everything centered around the chicken. Now, it is a sit-down restaurant foremost, and then a take out restaurant second (the take out menu pretty much focuses just on the chicken still, you don't see the other interesting items). I highly recommend the sit-down experience. Two of my best friends are brothers from Lima, Peru and they told me this place is by far the most authentic peruvian joint in the GTA. Anyways, we had a HUGEEEEE spread for a birthday so we got to try a lot of things. Appetizers: - papa a la huancaina: boiled potatoes in a really delicious cheesy cream sauce - ceviche mixto: SUPER FRESH seafood topped with some red onion and garnished with some roasted corn (very punchy lime taste, just amazing) - anticuchos: OMGGGGGGGG my first time ever trying grilled cow heart. BRUH this dish is life changing. My goodness, I couldn't stop thinking about it the day after. SO TENDER, SO JUICY MMMMM Mains: - jalea: assorted SUPER FRESH fried seafood (tilapia, calamari, octopus, shrimp, etc.) on a bed of their crispy yuca fries - lomo saltado: soft beef in a unique peppery marinade served with onions, bell peppers and some rice - arroz con mariscos: I've had seafood rice at a bunch of other restaurants and this one is right up there with the rest. Packed with lots of seafood and amazing sauce on the rice. It might be the best bang for your buck because the dish is deep and the portion is very generous (for all you big eaters out there). - pollo a la brasa: THE SIGNATURE CHICKEN. As per my review for the old location, still "putting that swiss chalet rotisserie to shame!" Still true. Still super flavorful chicken. Juicy dark meat. Juicy white meat. MMMMM. Homemade Spicy orange sauce and homemade mild minty green sauce to go with the chicken. Side of yuca fries. Heaven. special of the day (secret menu item): - aji de gallina: strips of chicken in a creamy yellow chilli sauce and served with rice. Get a 2L inca cola (for sharing) to wash it all down and you have a complete feast. The portions tend to be on the smaller side if you are just ordering for yourself (EXCEPT for the seafood rice) so I would recommend coming with a large group of buddies to share lots of food. I had considered keeping my new rating at the previous 4.5 or even decrease to a 4 star all because of how expensive they are, but the quality of the food far surpassed my expectations, so I feel that they deserve 5 stars. Even though it is pretty damn expensive (I saw cartoon flies flying out of my wallet afterwards), sometimes you can't put a price on really good food. As an aside though, if these guys were cheaper I'd probably find myself here quite a bit.

Ceviche Mixto
Nathan A.

Maybe -0.5 stars for slowness. Came on a Saturday night, and was told there'd be a 30 min wait. They have a takeout section too, but we decided to wait because I thought 30 min wasn't too bad, and the takeout menu was limited anyway. Unfortunately it ended up being closer to 50-55 minutes. Ordered Ceviche Mixto, Anticuchos (skewered beef heart), and Double Leg Brasa Chicken (with side of yuca fries). The food itself was pretty good. The fish in the ceviche seemed fresh, and the strong citrus was refreshing. The beef hearts were grilled well, served with a slightly spicy/tangy sauce. The chicken was juicy and delicious and accompanied with crispy yuca slices and two other sauces. Overall food was good, price was reasonable and the service was actually friendly. It was just unfortunate the wait in the beginning took quite a bit longer than expected with no real explanation or updates while waiting at the front.

Arepa Guys is set up at a local convenience but they're very welcoming. Chef owner Moises is a cool dude who seems quite passionate about Venezuelan food and culture. I came early and was politely asked to wait for the first dozen arepas (corn meal breads) to be grilled and baked to perfection. From the menu, I had their carne mechada: delicious slow-cooked shredded beef with a healthy mix of plantains, beans & cheese stuffed in the warm arepa. They had quite the variety of other fillings including chorizo, crab meat/shrimp, shredded chicken breast and eggs as well. Arepa Guys is open weekends only, and introduces this unique food to many of us for the first time. Their arepa was perfectly crisp on the outside and the shredded beef stuffing was a bit light in flavour. I did realize later that I missed out on their homemade cilantro, garlic and hot sauces. So apply some from the dine-in area when picking up an arepa to go.

My wife and I just left after having two pork arepas with pico de gallo and cheese, along with a tres leches, and we're already looking forward to our next visit - we don't come to the area often but we'll make the journey just for a taste of this again.

The…read moreseafood dishes are filled with various different kinds of high-quality seafood to the brim (more protein than rice). All the staff are so friendly - from the waitstaff to the chefs / owners and kitchen staff, everyone in the restaurant seems to exhibit the Latin American hospitality and friendliness. The place feels homey, cozy, and festive with the music in the background (from the TV screen on the wall), and big photos depicting different places in Colombia along the wall. Ambience is very laid-back and casual, with amazing food that tastes homemade and authentic. It took a while for the food to cook and come out (about 40 minutes) - mostly because of the Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup) that took the longest to cook. It was also during a very busy time on a weekend. They seemed to have a constant flow of incoming catering and take-out orders (a good sign), and the restaurant itself was packed. All / most mains come with coconut rice, salad, and tostones (fried plantains). As for drinks, you can order freshly squeezed juices in either water or milk. We ordered the fresh strawberry & blackberry juice in water, as the one in milk would make it more like a smoothie. Each juice order comes in a jug (whether it be a small or large jug). This came as a surprise to us - really good value for such a large volume of juice ($6 for a whole "small" jug that turned out to be quite big, enough to refill each glass a few times for 2 people). The juice itself tasted fresh, natural, and refreshing. Dishes that we tried: 1) Filete de Tilapia con Camarones (grilled tilapia fish fillet & shrimps with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Big pieces of fish and lots of small shrimps, in a very delectable sauce. 2) Arroz Marinero (seafood rice with plantain & salad) - Loved this dish. The rice was a bit soupy which I liked. It was a bit like a soupy paella (including the rice) - very delicious and packed with various kinds of seafood. 3) Cazuela de Mariscos (seafood soup with coconut rice, plantain, and salad) - Very creamy soup, like a chowder. I'm not a big fan of chowders / cream-based soups in general, but others liked it and said this was good. 4) SIDE: Ensalada (House Salad) 5) Arepa de Chocolo con Queso (sweet corn dough with cheese) All of the main dishes were EXCELLENT - loved the mixed seafood (fish fillet, shrimps, octopus, squid, etc.). There was so much seafood in every dish. In most places, you get more carbs / rice compared to the protein. Here, it was the opposite. The coconut rice was a bit dry but it's decent - good to soak up the sauces of the main dishes. The salad is just shredded cabbage and carrot with big sliced tomato. I was a big fan of the salad dressing (some creamy mayo-like dressing), but luckily the dressing was only at the top of the salad (the bottom part of the salad remained fresh and crunchy, which I liked). We ordered the Arepa de Chocolo con Queso for to go. It was different than the Venezuelan arepa that I'm used to. The Colombian arepa seemed to be sweeter and more buttery. It probably would've been better if it was eaten right after it was freshly made, and while it was still warm. There was a lot of cheese in the arepa, giving it a nice salty and savoury contrast to the sweet corn dough. After you're done the meal, you go up to the counter to pay (instead of having the bill brought to your table). Great food overall - I would not hesitate to come back.

The space is lively and the service is attentive, which makes the experience enjoyable. As for the food, the variety is decent, and the meats are generally well-seasoned and flavorful.

There are a few appetizers like the cheese bread and some grilled vegetables. These are bland and have no real flavour. Their corn bread, however, is fantastic. The meat variety is good. Of course, they have picanha (a Brazilian cut of meat), Parmesan sirloin steak, sausage, chicken, grilled pineapple, shrimp, and others. They have beans and rice too. The staff walk around constantly and offer food. They're friendly and are happy to give you an extra piece of meat if that's the one you really like. These reason for 4 stars is that its nearly impossible to get meat that's prepared medium or well done. Not all my family likes rare/medium rare, and while it's possible to request well done, it takes 15-20 minutes to get 2 little pieces of meat by which time you're ready for more and have to wait another 15-20 minutes.
