    Chicha Morada
    Atalanta P.

    I hadn't had Peruvian food in years so I really wanted to try Mati. I finally got around to it today. My roommate and I came by for dinner. They were welcoming and walked my roommate (who had never had Peruvian food) through the menu, and brought us a dish of seasoned dried corn to try. I got the chicha morada, which arrived in a large sturdy goblet and tasted great. We shared a serving of papa a la huancaina and an order of lomo saltado and both were spectacular. We brought an order of fried plantains to a friend who also enjoyed them. I'll definitely need to come back to try their aji de gallina!

    Oh wow not only is the fried fish dish amazing 3 times in a row, but the Aji Gallena is so creamy and good, the flan was amazing with s pretty caramel ized sugar topping... Stop putting off trying this place! It is worth it!

    Tried this new spot in Albuquerque and I think it might be the only Peruvian restaurant here Started with yummy plantains, then shared the ceviche--so fresh and perfect for two. Service was on point (friendly + checked in at just the right moments). Already planning our next visit and bringing friends along!

    Lomo Saltado
    Alexandria G.

    I'm not too familiar with Peruvian food, but someone highly recommended Mati, a newish restaurant off San Pedro, across from the fair grounds. I ordered the Chicha Morada which is a purple corn drink made with pineapple, green apple, and cinnamon. I wish I was sipping on some right now! For my appetizer, I ordered the Papa a la Huancaina which comes with boiled yellow potatoes topped with an Aji Amarillo cream sauce. And then for my main dish I ordered the Lomo Saltado which comes with marinated strips of sirloin, red onions, and tomato, served with rice and french fries. Everything was absolutely delicious! I want to go back and eventually make my way through the entire menu. The customer service was great. My server walked me through the menu since I wasn't familiar with any of the dishes. He was a great help and I'm thankfully for his recommendations!

    Delicious as always! Back for more. We went with a small toddler -- the restaurant has high chairs & is very family friendly

    Wow, what a wonderful Peruvian restaurant! I went this afternoon with a friend to try this restaurant. The inside is unassuming, simple and traditional. The service was perfect. The food was so delicious and flavorful. It seems like they use good quality ingredients. We started with some appetizers and then my friend had the Aji Gallina and I had the Lomo Saltado. Both were served with two different Aji sauces, the green (verde) was spicier , both were delicious. The meal exceeded all of our expectations . Can't wait to go back

    Ceviche Mati
    Jeffrey T.

    Authentic Peruvian cuisine. Today I enjoyed the Ceviche Mati for lunch. It was large enough to share, accompanied with two types of Peruvian maize, and sweet potato. I'll be back.

    My husband and I were so excited to find a new Peruvian place in town. We were seriously blown away by this food. My husband is Peruvian and I've been having brewing food for 20 years and this was truly some of the best. The owner is so nice and friendly and really aimed for the best experience possible for customers. I highly recommend it here!!

    Wonderful tasting Peruvian food. With Peruvian food, it's all about the sauces. The owner gave me the aji verde, aji criollo and aji Huaicaina. All sauces were delicious along with the food. A must try when in ABQ.

    The best appetizer ever! Chulpi corn!
    Louise B.

    The owner was absolutely delightful! And the food did not disappoint. We came because it is located in the neighborhood we grew up on and we also love trying new places. If you love to try new food and have or have not had Peruvian food you better try this place. It has all the traditional tastes of Peru and the love behind the food too. We will be back soon.

    I was excited to see there is a new Peruvian Restaurant here in Albuquerque and it did not disappoint! Everything from the service to the food was incredible. The food was fresh and extremely delicious. The service provided was also very good. I will be going back soon and telling everyone about this place! The restaurant inside is decorated nicely with some Peruvian decorations. The only downfall is the parking situation. I parked in a lot near the restaurant and on my way back to my vehicle I was told not to park there by some aggressive employees. Don't park to the north of the restaurant.

    tldr: THE SOUP This…read moreis a place where a tasting menu would be amazing because I'm sure everything is that good. Before they even bring the menu they bring out 7 moles to taste. Apparently moles aren't all dark chocolate spicy sauces ... ?!?? Loved the education and samples. I'm typically not a mole fan, but they were fun to try. We had the octopus but to me the sauce was too oily. The actual octopus was tender and delicious. Also had the duck skin tacos which were more of a minced duck meat taco and delish. The 5 stars go for impeccable service and the SOUP. This soup is not to be missed. Nothing on paper makes me think it should work but it totally does. It's a big lump of blue crap topped with creamy poblano pepper soup with whipped cream and amaretto and then topped with a spicy kick. Someone said cinnamon but for me it tasted more like hot red chili powder. Sounds incredibly weird but it was the best dish I've had in forever. Waitress was extremely knowledgeable and the chef was very welcoming and present in his cowboy hat! Space was cozy with amazing art. Perfect date night spot but plan to spend a bit of $$$

    You can track the decline of society in time with this restaurant. Over the past seven years, the…read moresoup bowls and margarita glasses have shrunk twice. The black bean soup with all its ethereal silkiness is now pasty. No more sitting before a wood stove in the cozy bar area; first that table went, then all of them started to be regularly blocked off. The one reliably transcendent menu item -- oh, those squash blossoms -- was out on both of my last visits, which we were not informed of until trying to order them. Those two visits spanned two years as this is a special-occasions-only restaurant for me and most; it did not leave either of those occasions feeling honored, and the last attempt was likely my last.
