Mares Real Peruvian Cuisine - Pulpo Parrillero - Peruvian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

From time to time, I like to visit new Peruvian food restaurants. This time, Mares welcomed us very warm and friendly. We got out table right away and we received chanchita chulpi immediately. It was really good because it tasted very fresh. The order took a bit longer than expected and I noticed that it happened to all the tables. I tried the makis acevichados. The taste was good, but they are not the peruvian makis I have tried for years in Peru. This was something different, but still good. The tacu tacu with lomo saltado, though. It was really good. I liked when it comes with a tick sauce instead of just water. The tacu tacu may have needed to get crispy a little bit, but the flavor was amazing. Finally, they only have option of glass of chicha morada. The taste was really good, I could feel the spices. read more

Mares es un excelente lugar para comer una auténtica comida peruana! el servicio es excelente y las porciones también. El dueño del restaurante nos contó que ellos importan ingredientes auténticos de Peru y se nota al 100% el sabor de su cocina es irreplicable , siempre tienen musica en eventos especiales y te regalan unos alfa divinos. Hoy día de las madres les regalaron unos alfajores a todas las mamas y lo más especial es que cada uno está hecho por la dueña del restaurante, si eres latino y extrañar la experiencia de sentirte cercano a casa , ven!!!! Me comí toda la comida tan rapido que no le pude tomar fotos , pero es exactamente igual a como muestran en las fotos de su menú digital read more

This my second trip here. Totally my fault that I went here and they offer toasted corn to snack on. I had a temporary crown on #31. The rest was miserable experience for me. Only me to blame. My wife had her usual classic cevichè and I had cevichè Le Tigrè. We shared a Peruvian Chinese fried rice. The food was delicious, service and presentation on the high end and modern decor for ambiance. Got to go back as soon as I get the permanent crown on #31. read more

Mares Real Peruvian Cuisine - A Great snack! Not that crunchy for a normal tooth. I had my problems. We brought it home waiting for after permanent crown on #31. - Peruvian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

It was pretty good food. Not as authentic Peruvian as we had anticipated. But overall price and food was good.

The flavors are great and the the food was cooked fairly well. The meat for the Lomo saltado was not cooked evenly, some were medium well, some medium, some medium rare, and the fries were hard like they were old. The positives for this dish was that the rice was cooked well and the flavor was good. Would be better too if there were more tomatoes sautéed with the beef. the only complaint for the rice with fish was that the scallops were a bit tough. Otherwise it was really delicious. We also tried the Chica morada which was refreshing but had a spice favorite to it, so if you don't like that, beware. We liked it a lot. Overall, still quite good and I'd be willing to come back to try something new. read more

Totally authentic Peruvian restaurant. The seafood is amazing, but be aware there are only 10 tables in the European tradition. The wait was short, the server was hustling but attentive, and the decor was modern and simple. They serve a traditional corn seed snack that's fun to eat too. But back to the seafood, it was tender and flavorful fish, shrimp, and octopus. I can't wait to go back for more! read more

Started with a passion fruit pisco sour and it wasn't as good as I've had in the past. For apps we had the classic fish ceviche spicy and it was spectacular. The portion was huge and could have been a meal. The fish was fresh and came with fried calamari. For dinner we had pescado Marco and hubby had the noodles with steak. The noodle dish was delicious and we would order that again. The staff was pleasant and attentive. read more

Mares used to be a good Peruvian option for Orlando, with delicious food, great customer service and descent prices. All those three are gone. Food was ok, ordered my go-to which is the lomo saltado, flavors were ok but sauce was salty and rice was dry. To top things off, I received my food and my partner had to wait another 20+ minutes to receive her food. Server did not check on us, our drinks never got refilled, we had to call him to get our check. Prices are high with low customer service and low quality food, this is why I believe they need to work to improve and hence the 3-star rating. read more

Great service but prices are high, and on top of it, the menu prices are lowered than what they actually charged. The claimed was that the website reflects the right prices but they did not disclose that information until I asked of price discrepancy (after I paid). Business should print tight prices or advertise online menu upfront. read more

If you are in the Hunters Creek area, this place is a must!!! We live about 35 mins away but we'll worth the drive. This place has a small restaurant feel but it could easily be fine dining. The decor was chic contemporary. Loved the colors and textures all through the restaurant. Also had tables outside to eat...groups of more than 6 might have a hard time sitting on a busy night... Started off with stuffed plantains with shrimp (tostones rellenos) and it was soooooo good!!! Wife ordered Maki salmon which is just a sushi roll and it was delicious! I had the pescado a lo macho and it exceeded my expectations! It was a swai filet topped with mussels, shrimps, calamari, scallops in this creamy, cheesy sauce. AMAZING!!!! I will definitely be back to try more of their extensive menu! read more

This place is basically stealing from people. We were charged an automatic gratuity of 5 people when we were only 4. When confronted we were told it was because it was Father's Day and everyone had an automatic gratuity. The problem is no one informed us before sitting down to eat. The food was 5/10. The portions don't add up to the prices on the menu as well. read more

The food there is great and the staff are also pleasant. They have great octopus which my y wife loves

I'm going with 5 stars because service is great and the food is pretty freaking good. This restaurant is easily one of my top Peruvian restaurants, although it unfortunately is very very far from me so I cannot visit as often as I would like. When I visited I had the seco combinado, which is a beef stew in cilantro, with a side of canario beans and rice. Now, canario beans are not to be confused with navy or white beans, these beans are typical of Peru and you will not find anywhere else other than Peruvian/Hispanic groceries. I also had a fish ceviche, which was good despite having generic fish and not premium sea bass. I can't complain about the ceviche, to be honest. I'm not sure if they had typical drinks or if everything was alcoholic drinks and some Peruvian sodas, anyway I always prefer water with my meal because I like to keep my kidneys healthy (sorry for too much information). I recommend this place to all. When I was leaving I ran into some friends, who are not Peruvian, so this place is truly international. That is cool, because Peruvian food is amazing! read more

This is my second time and I'm happy I gave it another chance. I love that you start off with a bowl of cancha, toasted corn. They are so flavorful, crunchy, and addicting; you can't stop eating them! What made this experience different from the first was our server. Sebastain was very respectful and always had his full profile to us. He was attentive to our needs, and was able to get us some extra sauce from the tacu tacu. Very sweet server, thank you for your hospitality! The flavors of each dish was so amazing. The ceviche and the balance of lime was the perfect amount. My dish, arroz Chaufa, was exactly what I wanted for the night. I wish the chicken wasn't dry, or that maybe it would come with some kind of sauce or lime on the side. I could've asked but I was also enjoying my plate the way it came. My boyfriend got the filet mignon tacu tacu and that sauce was *chefs kiss* so good!! We had to ask for more! It is a small sized restaurant with limited seating so if you have a big group you might want to call in advance and see if their availability. There is seating outside and it was comfortable. Overall, this is a place I will definitely come back to! The parking and finding the restaurant were easy. Can't wait to try it all again. read more

Way way way too expensive. It was all good more or less but...... everything is a variation on itself , so it was hard to pick. , then everything tasted like every other thing...... and you don't receive much food. You will leave hungry unless you order a lot like we did. This was a great one and done, if you never ate Peruvian. Service people were very nice and helpful.... But we sat for what seemed like all too long before we were served. read more

What a great place and ambiance Mares Restaurant is. I had a wonderful dinner with a party of 10 and the service at the table was provided by both Sebastian's. They went above and beyond. We had a hiccup with our reservation but Sebastian the supervisor saved the night. Let's talk about the food. I had a Maretazo, a giant martini glass with ceviche mixto and una jalea de mariscos. It's meant to be share but I ate it all by myself. My friends order the octopus, Aguadito soup, seafood soup, lomo saltado of chicken and Beef, causa de lomo. Everything was delicious. We couldn't stop talking about it. I will return again. read more

I've been to Perú, I love Peruvian food so I was going to get very picky about this, the Anticuchos are the best Anticuchos I've ever had even in Perú, they are delicious, go get them, yes it is heart but they taste awesome they have a smokey flavor that makes them special, so freaking good, The rest of the food is very good too but literaly the Heart stole my heart... The owner came to say Hi to the table, and the waiter was really cool he even joked with us. Just give him a raise. Do yourself a favor and go there, it is not necesarily cheap but it is worth it. read more

I have been craving for Peruvian food for a while so today my brother invited me out to have lunch and we went to Mares. The day was perfect for seating outside and our server Sebastian was amazing, he kept on stopping by to see if we needed anything else and always with a big warm smile. Now to the food... great! I recommend my brother the "Causa Limeña de Tuna" and he loved it, not only that but the presentation was an art piece, I had "lomo saltado" that was also perfect, we had "yuca a la huancaina" as an appetizer. I highly recommend this place located at The Village in Hunter's Creek. read more
