We found this restaurant on Yelp while trying to find a restaurant that was a little different than the norm and within the vacinity of our hotel. The restaurant itself is nothing special, but the food is very good. We had the ceviche and it was outstanding. I can't remember what other dishes we had (because I am writing this after the fact), but I do know that everything we got was very good and seemed authentic, though we specifically ordered the peruvian specialties. The portions were fairly large too. We probably could have just gotten the ceviche and been good with that. Btw, there seemed to be many local peruvians eating there, that is always a good sign! read more

It used to be a great place. Lomo Saltado is one of the key Peruvian dishes and it's flavor was amazing, one part of this plate is french fries; however, last time they served curly frozen fries. What a huge disappointment!! For this reason, we no longer dine there. read more

We ordered the ceviche. It was fresh and delicious. Service was very good. We enjoyed our dinner and will definitely be back. read more

Excellent service. We ordered the Lomo Saltado- it was delicious, fresh meat. Obviously prepared with love and care by the family who runs the restaurant. I drank pisco sour which was excellent. I highly recommend. read more

Within the past year we seem to have had a plethora of Peruvian restaurants opening with a good number of them closing, such as Flavors of Peru, within months after opening. Malulo's Seafood has however been around for some time and if you happen to stop by for a meal, the reasons for it continuing in business become rather obvious. The menu is not only a complete but extraordinarily large as well as all encompassing for a Peruvian restaurant. The help staff is courteous and in a very helpful way suggestive as to your best food choices. Though located in what is a somewhat shabby strip mall on East Atlantic, clean, organized, well run and with a rather tasteful though simple décor about it. Being one who invariably seeks out the unique in food items, I opted for the octopus done in a Peruvian black olive based cream sauce and was delighted not only with the tenderness of the sliced octopus but with the savory flavors of the black olive cream sauce which blended well with the octopus. For my entrée I went for their deep fried fish and seafood with a zesty raw onion type of relish (for lack of a better word) topping, which came out to be a heaping plate full, more than I would have expected and also very good. Better yet, there is a sort of a family, friendly neighborhood feel about the place. I'm certainly not an expert on Peruvian foods, but I do know enough to say that the foods served here are basically all just about as authentic Peruvian as you can find anywhere. read more

Excellent traditional Peruvian food, the ceviche, the lomo saltado, the jalea accompanied with our Peruanissimo Pisco Sour and much more. I do recommend it read more

Small authentic Peruvian restaurant located in an unassuming strip mall on Atlantic blvd, I no longer eat seafood so I was hesitant since most of the good reviews are based on the Ceviche and seafood, but I was very happy with the Lomo Saltado that I ordered (Peruvian style beef stir-fry). We went for a late dinner on a Friday night, there was only one other couple dining at the restaurant, we were greeted and shown to our table. The server was friendly but not very attentive, I struggled to get his attention several times to get wine refills. Back to the Lomo Saltado, it was excellent, a generous portion, quality meat, perfectly cooked and seasoned, the rice was fluffy and perfectly cooked, I have been to Peruvian restaurants that couldn't cook rice correctly so I like to acknowledge those that do. The ambiance is a bit lacking, the lighting is harsh and takes away from the atmosphere, which could definitely use improvement. And maybe our server was also inattentive since it was a late night, but it took away from the experience. Since our food was very good I would definitely return and hope that service is better next time around, I would also like to try the desserts, they looked amazing.

Our family went here for dinner, mostly because of great reviews from Yelp. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Fort Lauderdale. They have the standard kids menu: chicken nuggets or fish nuggets with fries, which is a bonus for the picky eater in our family. But my husband and I came here for the seafood. My husband ordered Tamalito Verde, which is sort of like tamales, except the masa is green, mixed in with cilantro, we were told later by the nice and friendly waiter. I am not normally into tamales, but I had a little bite, it was wonderful. I ordered the Ceviche Mixto and I was in heaven. Clearly the best ceviche I have had so far. The seafood was fresh. The calamari, fish chunks, and shrimps tasted perfectly, swimming in the mixture of lime juice and powdered peppers, called Tiger's Milk. I could have just eaten two servings of ceviche for dinner. But for dinner, I ordered the grilled fish. It was not the best grilled fish. The waiter suggested that I put some of the Tiger Milk on the fish and it made the fish taste a lot better. I wish we could go back here every day and eat all of our meals here. read more

Had lunch at Malulo's about 3 pm. This was as good as I've heard and read. I've become a fan of Peruvian food in recent years. It's an eclectic blend of Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, and Inca flavors. We had the $13 Marinero lunch specials; choose one appetizer and one entree. I had the Cevichito as my starter and the Chaufa de Mariscos for my main dish. The ceviche came with a delicious sweet potato cake and consisted of 5 ounces of white fish (ceviCHITO is a misnomer) bathed in fresh lime juice, red onions, and whole-kernel corn, which reminds me I must mention the complementary Cancha (fried corn) with pink Rocoto (Red Chile) Cream sauce. I could eat that by the pound. My entree was a heaping portion of fried rice with egg, shrimp, calamari (both tentacles and rings), scallops, chunks of fish, and a mussel in the shell. Like the other dishes, this one needed no extra seasoning. I ate the whole thing. Five hours and two workouts later I'm still overly full. My mother-in-law had the Tamalito, a green tamale (masa with cilantro puree) with chicken. Her entree was the Lomo Saltado, the beef dish with red onions, vegetables, and white rice. I don't eat beef but the ladies said it was excellent. And this is a seafood restaurant. My wife had the Conchitas en Parmesan, three scallops in the shell baked under a mound of cheese. Very good. For her entree, she chose Jalea de Mariscos, a pile of crisply fried seafood proteins; scallops, calamari, shrimp, fish, and one mussel again. It was topped with a Pico de Gallo-like salsa. Excellent. Note that the lunch entrees are the same size as most dinner entrees anywhere else. The $13 lunch special is a great economic getaway for the serious foodie, but we're going back specifically for the $16 helping of ceviche and to try their risotto. Negatives? None really. We went in the down time and were the only table. A little marketing could bring in more people who would be indelibly and immediately branded after trying this food. Nonetheless, Malulo's, a mom-and-pop restaurant, shows that you can still build it the old fashioned way. read more

I took some foodie friends to lunch here in May and it was enjoyed by all. Their $13 lunch specials include an appetizer (ceviche is an option, and I took it!) plus a main course. Lots of other menu items to choose from too. Portions were generous, service was friendly, and most importantly: the seafood tasted fresh and all of our meals had a very authentic and homemade appeal. After many minutes of indecision, I opted for the ceviche and my main course, shrimp fried rice. This ceviche cured my craving: a bountiful helping of fish, other sea critters, lime juice, onion (just the right amount), and cilantro. Who would have guessed fried rice would make the lunch list, but there it was, and there I was, Ms. Curiosity, and I gave in to temptation. Glad I tried it... it was enough for a second meal later in the day. May I suggest you try their hot sauce too, it's really special. Don't judge this place by its exterior appearance or location - - you'll find it on the north side of Atlantic Blvd. and east of Dixie Highway with plenty of easy parking for your convenience- - or you will miss out on a tasty adventure that will transport you to a faraway land- specifically Peru. I still dream going back for more ceviche, and attempted to take a friend there for dinner on a Wednesday evening (around 8pm) in June but they were closed. I'll be back and Yelps: I must recommend this little taste of Peruvian paradise to all! read more

I read the reviews, went, and they are right! This is the real deal: great food, friendly family restaurant, reasonable prices. The ceviche is the best I've had including in Mexico and Costa Rica. Suggestions from the owner/waiter were right on target. Everything was fresh and tasty - including the seafood risotto (as good as I've had in Italy). We'll be back! read more

Found this restaurant on Yelp, and the ratings were pretty much on. Service was good and very helpful in choosing what to eat. We started with his suggestions which was a Ceviche of raw fish marinated in lemon juices. Along with aTamalito Veride which was corn dough with chicken. Very interesting dish. Me and my wife seem to like the raw fish better than sushi. My main dish was fried fish with shrimp and Crabmeat sauce which I loved and ate like I never saw food..... House wine which was from Chile Cab/Sauv was OK. I am still a california guy when it comes to wines. I would go back.... read more

I decided to try this place on the recommendation of the many fans on Yelp. The service and the service lived up to the hype. The big turn off for me - the lack of patrons on a Friday evening. However the very pleasant server made me feel welcome and I quickly forgot how empty the place was. We had the shrimp ceviche which was outstanding. I had the jalea and my friend had the churrasco. I must say that the jalea was good but not as good as others I've had and the churrasco was okay but certainly not the cut of beef I know to be churrasco. I was only in town for the weekend for a beach get away and made the drive to check this place out. No real regrets but I'd likely give another place a try when in the area rather than revisit. Worth it if you are a ceviche fan. read more

A well kept secret in Pompano Beach. Located in a strip mall it does not stand out in a crowded field, but the food is outstanding! Traveling on business, we like to places under radar, so driving by we decided to give them a try. So glad we did. We had the Red Snapper Chivche and Seafood Empanadas to start. The Chivche was really good. Slightly spicy without overpowering the fish and a good balance of citrus. The pastry on the empanadas was perfect, the seafood stuffing was good. We shared an entree of the braised lamb. This dish was worth coming back for. The rice was excellent, and the brown gravy from the lamb was fantastic. read more

Tried out this restaurant and was pleasantly surprised. The ceviche was heavenly with juice that where the lime was subdued a bit by the tiger milk and the subtle spices made it paradise with every bite. We also had the fish with the baked cheese and that was soooooooo delicious as well. I had to force myself to each slow to savor every bite. Do try their juices: the papaya was freshly squeezed, tasty, and refreshing and the purple corn juice was totally different and refreshing with its infusion with a bit of cloves and other well-balance spices. The prices are moderate and very reasonable. The service was very pleasant and polite with excellent recommendations based on our tastes. Do not overlook this gem and try it!!!'n read more

It was good, I think every Peruvian restaurant has different flavors to prepare their food. I wish they can put more lime or something to highlight the flavor it taste really simple. read more

A little hole in the wall place, not much to look at, but that tacu tacu is some of the best food on earth!

Went there with our usual Friday "Orphans Four" group luncheon and we found this place on Yelp. The food was decent and the place (except that my Empinada was ice cold in the center....but they did replace it immeditately). Our server was friendly and made some good recommendations..... the food quantity was very generous and there was no need to drive thru Mickey Dees on the way home! If we lived closer and craved Peruvian food we would be back! read more

The true test is always the Lomo Saltado. It's perfect. The other test is the Ceviche which is also perfect.

After moving from Miami I have been looking for Peruvian food and after seeing the reviews for this place I figured I would check it out. Maybe I was way too excited and my expectations were too high but his place is not good at all. I wasn't expecting the place to be like Dr. limón in Miami but sure I thought it would be decent and man was I disappointed. The service was slow, place was empty so it was awkward to be the only two people in the restaurant but the worst part was the food; very bland with no flavors. read more

Last minute decision for dinner tonight. Absolutely delicious. Chef/owner came out to totally make Our dinners individually made. Very reasonably priced. Can't wait to go back!! read more

On the hunt for good Peruvian cuisine we stumbled upon this gem in Pompano Beach. We heard about it from a friend of a friend of a friend and we decided to try it out. My wife is Peruvian so she knows authentic and we both have and we both have picky pallets so we don't just eat any food it has to be good. The place was clean everything is tidy a very Peruvian atmosphere very family the host was very down to earth kind and I felt like we were at home with my wife's family. The food was delicious my wife had the lamb and I had a duck flavor was great you can taste that it was made to order and it wasn't frozen the ceviche was amazing good fish is hard to come by in Miami but at this place it was very good. My wife and I highly recommend this place for authentic home Peruvian comfort food. read more

If I could give this place 0 starts I would but the option is not available. "Lunch special" - a small plate with rice and small piece of turkey (which I clearly didn't order, I ordered chicken) for $12!! Wtf! No wonder this place was dead empty. Avoid this shitty place at all cost. Save your money and go to McDonald's at least you get more of your dollar there. read more

The food was amazing and fresh ! Absolutely recommend this place . Be prepared to wait a little for the food , but this is because it is fresh and prepared not frozen ! The sangria was also amazing ! Great spot ! Will definitely be returning! read more

Excellent Peruvian food at reasonable prices! I had the Arroz con pollo and it was very very good!

I am not a fan of chain places with frozen food or non chefs at a mark up price. So when i was planning a night out in Boca I looked for a place in Broward to eat a good meal. This is what I choose for ROMANCE ? bad call When your the only people in the place thats a sign. I walked in an wasnt even spoken too another sign. I wanted to walk out but figured lets try it even thou the place had some 80's radio station on playing music that had no business in there with the 1988 radio speakers on 10. What was even worse was the owner or chef maybe in the corner watching some bad action movie with sound cranked up with gun shots going off.... real romantic night out you know. Order the food that was over prices compared to Miami prices for the same food. Fried rice seafood mix was like they opened a microwave and warmed rice and added some luke warm seafood, The ceviche was now just a side cause they was nothing special to the dish compared to all the other places that toss seafood around in lime juice. Three workers in the entire place and not one said hello or thank you... the south florida way. Do yourself a favor and walk out when the place is empty thats a sign. 35.00 wasted. YELP isnt always right. read more

Good Peruvian fare with reasonable prices. Came here with my sisters and niece and ordered an array of ceviches and appetizers. All was good. Service was nice . Very well prepared food for an unassuming place on a strip mall. read more

As Peruvian food goes in South Fla, this place is tops. No frills decor, but the food is tops. Try the Yuquitas Rellenas, which is yucca root stuffed with fresh cheese, served with huancaina dipping sauce. Nothing wrong with that. Lomo Saltido is delicious here, and their Picarones are especially good. read more

Worst service ever the girl who serve us was very rude didnt even ask how was our meal. She gave us an attitude the whole time we was there.. The food was disgusting I order aji de gallina and it was dry and cold i didnt even finish it.. They very rude and want to take the tips out if the bill. I refuse to give her. Tips so they took them out. I will never go to that place. Nasty attitude nasty food and nasty service.. This place dont even deserve 1 start horriblee. I love peruvian food but this place was a fail.. They should learn the meaning of customer service. And learn how to treat people. read more

Heads up you will pay more money for name of restaurant. My Sudado was very good, small but good. It's a small homey feel restaurant but it was more pricey than the typical Peruvian dishes. I won't return. read more
