    CAMARONES CON CHAMPINONES
    Audrey A.

    New Peruvian spot in Tapestry Park near III Forks and right diagonal to Indigo Blue Hotel. GPS will take you around the building and the signage is hard to see. Restaurant is spacious with booths, tables and bar seating. Ceviche was so refreshing. The chicken moist and the shrimp champignon was a nice flavorful surprise.

    PULPO A LA PARRILLA - Octopus

    Lula's Bistro is a new restaurant tucked away in peaceful Tapestry Park. This was the first restaurant that I have tried Peruvian food at and it was delicious. I had been craving ceviche and this hit the spot. The CEVICHE DE POTA which is a Squid ceviche mix with jumbo corn kernel,corn nut and sweet potato was my favorite out of the three in the trio. Loved the crunch from the corn nuts and the sauce was delicious. Had to try some lomo saltado so I had the taco and the meat was cooked perfectly. Loved that they put a few fries on it so you get a full taste of the entree version. My husband raved about the octopus dish saying I don't think I can find this anywhere else that is on this level. The Caipirinha - favorite- and Pisco Sour were tasty as were the toasty hot & fresh churros. Very nice restaurant. I would make sure I wasn't in a rush to eat here at least if it was busy because they do make everything fresh. Would make a very nice date spot and I also hope to catch some of their lunch specials.

    Lomo Saltado Taco - a Peruvian classic meets Mexico! Yum!

    Just lovely!!! Peru is known for its cuisine - and this little gem is a foodie great find. The menu is authentic, and even includes upscale Mexican dishes. The food and drink presentation also made the food look as good as it tasted! Every dish we ate is worth coming back for.

    The great menu is on a tablet

    Best flavors I have encountered in a long time!! Papa A La Huancaina - amazing but, be careful has a kick! Inka ceviche with shrimp- I wish we had ordered 2 portions. Lomo Salteado - a little tough but the flavor made up for it. Definitely worth a try!

    Loved this place. Food was cooked perfect and you could clearly tell high quality ingredients. I had one mar y tierra taco and fajitas. Clean, friendly staff, great food. What more can you ask for?

    We are ceviche lovers and this is the best ceviche we've had in town by far! So, so delicious! Cocktails were pretty and tasty too - can't wait to return

    Octopus- sauce has some heat, recommend dipping a small bit before pouring it all over.

    The food was delicious! The bluefin tartar and the grilled octopus was so good! Maya was our server and she was just a delight! She was patient, offered recommendations and was so friendly yet professional. The place was clean and pretty!! They have an outdoor space that'll be nice to try!

    Best ceviche in Jax. Fresh. Clean restaurant. Hugeeee servings. Definitely try them out. Good cocktails too!!

    Ceviche with tostone

    Ceviche en tostada was tasty but not alot of fish just a lot of filler with diced onions. At time it taste as you were eating onion with tostada. Anticuchos were very thin and not a lot of meat. Not your typical anticuchos that thick and on a skewer. It has a great taste so would recommend. Lomo saltado was basic. Nothing out of this world. But if you are looking for a simple meal definitely check it out. The only dish I would recommend is the pescado lo macho. The cream sauce and fish sauce as to die for.

    The main bar

    Having spent time visiting through out Peru, I'm always encouraged when a new Peruvian restaurant opens in Jacksonville. This was our first visit and my overall impression of the ambience was quaint, very clean, we had as our server, Tony, who was incredibly attentive. I tried one of their signature cocktails made from pisco and it was quite good, we had the house Peruvian ceviche, and it also was quite good. My wife had the fish with calamari on top and she enjoyed it. I have the Peruvian steak with, rice and sweet plantains, and my steak was overdone, but it had been a long day and I was in no fuss to have it done again. The bathrooms were spotless and modern, and we had no problem finding parking on a Friday night. The combination of both Mexican and Peruvian dishes was somewhat disheartening, in that they should focus on one or the other.

    True Food Kitchen is an extremely well thought out and delicious dining experience…read more The restaurant is beautiful outside and inside. It's elegant but simple inside. Great use of earth tone of green and brown along with wood floors and walls. There is every type of seating booths, tables both small and large. You can see into the kitchen and drink station and it's done in a way that just adds to the decor. We were seated immediately with our reservation and waited on with water soon after. There is no soda served here, just their own drink blends along with alcohol drinks. We had water and decided to try their drinks another time. Everything is fresh, locally sourced and delicious. I had the jambalaya pasta and it was really good. Slightly spicy, the shrimp and chicken cooked to perfection and the "holy trinity " hit just right. My wife ordered the farmer's scramble off of the brunch menu and it was amazing as well. The true star of our meal may have been the sweet potato chips. Just the perfect crunch, the exact right amount of salty and sweet...fantastic. The fries were solid, the sauce was unique, tangy and a great accompaniment. Our lemon blueberry muffin was just a bit dry. Average in a meal that was otherwise stellar. Because they use such fresh ingredients and cook it in ways that are a bit more healthy, I left feeling full but not overly stuffed or bad. If you haven't tried True Food Kitchen, I highly suggest you do. There's something for everyone and everything is done well.

    We came here because we were shopping at Saint Johns Town Center…read more They had all the doors / windows open so inside was the same temperature as outside. If you're walking around outside doing shopping and you want to come inside the cool off, this is not the place to go. The food was good. It wasn't the best I've ever had and it wasn't the worst. My husband got a buffalo chicken sandwich that was 3 stars. Wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything to rave about. I'm not sure what these sides were that came with it, but I do know that french fries weren't up charge and they were extremely bland lacked salt and were cold. I got a salad because it said that it had carrots and cauliflower and I added chicken but honestly, it was mostly spring mix. The other salads said that it was Green and Spring mix. This one did not so I was hoping for it to be more vegetables and not so much spring mix. If there was two florettes of cauliflower cut up in there that was a lot . The service was definitely five star. We sat at the bar and there were two people work in the bar and they were both very attentive and one of them made up extra of a green kale drink and gave us a little sample, which was quite fabulous Honestly, moving forward whether to go in here or not would depends on whether all of the doors were open going to the outside. The dumplings with the edamame were really good, but that's also more about the liquid broth that's in it. You can't just eat the dumplings so I think each item has its own quirk. I have no idea why on a hot day they would have all those doors open and not have the AC running for the people inside that wanted to be cool. Maybe they did have the AC running but with the doors open, it would be pointless.

Love Mediterranean and Middle Eastern food and Fast Eddy's popped up on Yelp and was just around the corner. Restaurant has just a few tables as well as a counter area. So very glad we found this restaurant! William is the owner and his son Will waited on us - both so friendly, helpful and personable! The menu is awesome - a great selection of appetizers, salads, soups/stews, sandwiches and main dishes - many Middle Eastern choices and a few American bites as well. My favorite thing was that dishes and menu sections are named after various family members - William's mom, dad and siblings. We started with the hummus and pita chip appetizer - so yummy! Hubs and I eat hummus everywhere we go, and this rivaled some of the best! Amazing flavor, creamy with just the right amount of olive oil, garlic and paprika. I had the falafel wrap with a side salad - really good! Hugs had the fattoush salad followed by chicken tikka kebab with grilled mixed veggies - he loved it and shared a few tastes with me - delicious! The veggies and meat were seasoned with the family's own spice mix and it's amazing! We can't wait to come back soon!

    Far and away the best sandwich experience I've had in years! I can't even remember when the last…read moretime I've had a sandwich in a restaurant this good! All I can say is, when you go to Fast Eddy's Quick Mideast, get the Derby Fillies sandwich! And I hereby order my readers to GO!! There are good reasons why this awesome Mediterranean cuisine outlet is as close to 5-star as you can get! First, I really like the uniqueness of this ma and pa shop. It's been here at this location now for around four years and seems to have built a nice clientele, but always welcoming of more! The wall decor is filled with pictures of Rock n Roll heroes past and present. And, yes, you will get to have your ears filled with the songs of many of these artists while you eat. I sat at the Ozzy and Randy Rhodes table and I can't say how I feel about that company! The servers were extremely courteous. Reza and Victoria were just outstanding from beginning to the end of our eating experience. I'm very grateful for their looking after us and answering our questions. Looking around at how they treated and dealt with other customers, my feeling is that this is how they treat customers consistently who visit Fast Eddy's. Both of us chose Reza's recommendations. My Derby Fillies might seems like a normal sandwich (sub type) with chicken, peppers, onions, mushrooms, American cheese on a hoagie roll. However, the way it's grilled in their "Babylonian sauce," really seals the deal on this sandwich. The sauce really blends well with this hot sandwich and you'll be thrilled you chose it! Even better yet, it is a large sandwich, so I had the other half on the next day - just as good as the first! My dearest ordered the Hammurabi burrito. This was another stellar choice as recommended by Reza once again. This sandwich is one of creativity, more than basic like the Derby. It comes on a flour tortilla with pickles, sumac onions, biryani rice, French fries, Amba sauce, chicken, along with garlic spread. Goodness I don't know a few of the items on this burrito! But it also blended excellently together and the pickles made it a treat! I got to eat from it two days in a row and it was just as good as the first day on the second! For sides, I had Mac and cheese. Yes, it was a solid Mac and cheese with some pepper in it. Our other side was the roasted vegetables. These are awesome! Both of the sides were delightful and easily shared between both of us. For dessert, we did try their homemade baklava. Well, when I tried it I knew it was unlike any baklava I've ever eaten. I knew it had to be made in-house and was a special recipe created in-shop. I was right on both counts! It was the best I've ever eaten. If you love baklava, you won't be disappointed here! Fast Eddy's is truly a superior restaurant and is now in my top five list of JAX favorites! There is good booth seating here and carry-out is available. Besides sandwiches, you'll also find soups, stews, salad options, street tacos, new world American food options, specialty choices (including spicy chicken curry, Nada's Arabic Macaroni, among others), kabobs, and more! The hard rock will play as you eat. It was loud when we came in for a while, but to their credit, they did lower the volume around the middle of our time there. Make a visit! This is a can't miss restaurant! Recommend: HIGHEST
