Caleta 111 is a culinary gem in Richmond Hill!…read more This place NEVER disappoints. My husband and I have dined here a few times, and have ordered takeout just as much. Honestly, if I could eat this every day, I would. The menu offers a journey through vibrant, sometimes unexpected, yet surprising flavors and thoughtful dishes. My personal favorites are the Tiger's Milk, Lomo Saltado, Chica Morada, and cancha - which is a perfect snack on its own! The Tiger' Milk is an explosion of fresh, tangy and savory flavors that excite the palate, while the Lomo Saltado is the ultimate comfort food - perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with bold flavors. If you're looking for something different, order the Chaufa de Mariscos. From the very first bite, we got instant dopamine hits - the unexpected flavors were a sensory experience that left us saying "ooh!" with each bite. Don't leave without ordering the Chicha Morada. Its a definite must-have. This refreshing, cold Peruvian purple corn drink is lightly sweet with hints of cinnamon and clove that make you feel at home. It's like a non-alcoholic mulled wine, but better - comforting and reminiscent of Christmas, pure perfection in a glass. [I think they rotate desserts, but if the Peruvian ice cream is on the menu, definitely try it. I'll be back to try the others.] The staff is always attentive and friendly. Whether it's your first time or 10th time, they'll ensure you have a great experience. If you're unfamiliar with something on the menu, ask and they're more than happy to explain and recommend dishes that suit your tastes. This definitely adds to the cozy vibes of the restaurant. The decor is another standout feature, most of it seemingly handmade - I think I've seen them working on a few pieces in the past (I live in the neighborhood). Every detail feels intentional, with a personal touch that perfectly complements the amazing food. From the appetizers, to the desserts, you can taste the quality and care that the chefs put into every item on the menu. Whether you're dining in or ordering takeout, Caleta 111 is more than a meal - it's a flavorful adventure I know I'll return to time and time again.

We tried because of the Michelin guide recommendation. Ceviche with 2 plantain chips for $29, who are kidding? walked in and there was no host to attend us, we waited for a bit, I had to walk up to the kitchen and they said to take a seat of preference. We chose the bar, they said the bar setting table was not stable so we had to sit down inside the restaurant while it will still sunny out (it's summer in NYC, so obviously lightning is key). Then, we ordered the chicken combo of 1/2 with rice & beans which is only to-go service and they didn't have but their menu listed. The ceviche took about an hour to arrive which is the only appetizer and 2 beers we ordered, while the restaurant wasn't even full & then we landed up ordering 1more beer while still awaiting the ceviche. Then came the check- they said their system was down so no cards & only Zelle or Venmo- which we Zelle them the $ and then the owner went to verify in the back if they received after she took my phone to double check the amount. I'm sorry but not sorry, we have travelled 60 countries together for 12+ years and this is not the experience we expected from Bib Gourmand / Michelin FALSE Guide! I hope you can take notes from this comment and make improvements to thrive because this is NYC & the options are infinite!

I've tried their jalea (crispy fried shrimp, fried yucca, fried squid, fried fish, fresh mussels), cau-cau (honeycomb tripe stew with tumeric sauce served with white, tallarin verde con bistec (pesto sauce with pasta and grilled steak), and papa a la huancaina (steamed potato covered with yellow pepper cheese sauce + a olive on the side). Every single one of those dishes are very delicious. My favorite is the jalea. Get the large! Additionally, I really enjoy their chicha morada. It is very refreshing and not too sweet. I recommend the half pitcher for a table of two. Great spot for a date or just to catch up with friends!

The choclo and the amount of ceviche is delicious. You can share or you can have a plate of your own. If your like me you want a plate or your own. After we tend to get a entree to split which is usually more than enough food. The service it usually pretty quick here and you are not waiting a long time. The food is flavorful and tastes fresh. The sangria here is also the perfect amount of liquor to juice. But we only wish that there were more fruits. The desert, alfajor, was baked just right. It's tough to find a good alfajor but this place has one of the best in the areas. This is a small restaurant so get there early and give it a try. It is a great place for Peruvian food!

Will definitely come back here again.

We were actually surprised it wasn't busier for a Saturday, but that worked out great for us since our party of four (2 adults and 2 kids) was seated right away. The menu was available on an iPad, which made browsing easy. I ordered the grilled chicken with rice, beans, and sweet plantains. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. My husband ordered the chicken with a white sauce and really enjoyed his meal as well. My older daughter loved her grilled steak so much that she had to take some home for later! My youngest kept it simple with chicken fingers, which she happily finished. They also offer fresh juices. The girls ordered mango and strawberry juices, and both were delicious. One thing we thought was really cool was that the TVs played the music videos for the songs that were playing throughout the restaurant, which added a fun atmosphere. Before leaving, we checked out the bakery section and picked up a Nutella croissant and a chocolate loaf. The girls absolutely loved both treats! The staff was attentive and friendly throughout our visit, making the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, we had a great meal and will definitely be coming back.

They have large screen TVs for what I assume is to host sports watching. They have paper and digital menu which is helpful to make selections, however the digital menu isn't fully complete with pics yet. I think the quality of food is top notch having tried other Colombian restaurants in the area. Particularly loved the calentado and freshness of chorizo and all other items included in my desayuno Raices pictured here.

The flavors are a little off for me, but still a good version. The ropa vieja also lacked a little something, but they use tri-tip instead of the usual flank steak, which felt more tender. The owner Benny was also kind enough to give us some free desserts to take home, which were pretty good. With that said, what intrigued me the most was the interesting story about how Benny fell into this restaurant situation after swearing he would never be in this industry again. He is a strong believer in supporting the community, and has a nonprofit called Hungry Monk Rescue Truck that deals with food insecurity in NYC. We need more people like him in this world. Let's show our support for a business we can be proud to dine at.
