The ceviche and lomo saltado transported me back to the trip I took to Peru many years ago. Can't wait to eat here again!

An honorary Austinite driving through OKC (home of The Flaming Lips) just to find some extraordinary Peruvian food? Stranger things have happened in my life! This is a small spot but add it to your list - Nevenka is worthy of generous (tax-free!) tips as she's taking care of everyone in this family-style restaurant. The food is as flavorful as it is colorful - Trio Marino allowed me to sample, and 2 of 3 knocked it out of the park. Peruvian arroz (like a Spanish paella or Asian stir-fry) with peas, red bell, tender calamari, clams, and mussels had bright flavors and a slow, warming heat. On the other side, generous portions of fresh white fish ceviche in a citrus coconut broth topped with toasted corn nuts and purple onion (texturally complex, flavors exciting for Midwest palates) was exceptional. A roadside attraction! read more

This place is easy to miss. We still missed a turn even with the GPS on. They have a small parking lot that's shared with a night business. The staff is incredibly friendly, the place is cozy, and the food is delicious. Everything we tried tasted authentic and homemade. The papa rellena was huge. More than enough for 2 people to share, and comes with a light tangy salad. The beans are savory and a bit smoky. The chicken is so juicy. It came with rice, fries, cilantro crema and a cilantro mustard crema. Will be back! read more

Delicious, authentic Peruvian food, great service. Very small place, but nice atmosphere. Reasonable pricing. I love the tamales, green rice, yucca, plantains and palta relleno. read more

I wish I could give 10/10 instead of 5/5. Every single time we visit it's the most wonderful. Thank you for always having us! read more

Okay, this place is hard to rate so it's a mixed review. First of all, it's in a sketch part of town, so go at your own risk! The interior is unassuming, small but clean. Our table was wobbly so hubs folded a napkin to stabilize it. Our young waiter was friendly and knowledgeable, took the time to explain their menu. Both the Lomo Saltado and Trio Marino were pretty good. Our one complaint was that we found a long hair in our food, the Choritos a la Chalaca (mussells). Even though they removed the charge off the check, but still... Yuck! Sorry, had to deduct one star for that. read more

What a beautiful presentation of Lomo Saltado. From the onions and peppers to the salsa, every single bite was flavorful. The nicely plated rice added a layer that elevated every bite of peppered beef. The onions, absolute perfection. What was nice were the fries that became drenched in the sauce left behind from all the meat. Imagine all that flavor jam packed and soaked in the fries. Oof. I also seriously enjoyed dipping them in the creamy green salsa. If I drank soda, I would've grabbed some Inca Cola too. This is one for the books! read more

If there's a favorite Peruvian restaurant for me, Naylamp is probably it. The food is absolutely fantastic but I am holding 1 star back because they did not accommodate my request. Naylamp is known for the Lomo Saltado. Having had this traditional Peruvian dish at other restaurants, I specifically requested to have the fries separately just like how the dish was shown in the menu. What came out was the stir fry on top of the fries. I was not happy with this when I specifically requested it a certain way. Of course, I did not eat any of the soggy fries. I really liked the papa rellena appetizer at Naylamp. It's deep fried mashed potato stuffed with seasoned beef and egg inside. It had a good taste and very unique in presentation and flavor. This is one of Naylamp's most popular appetizers. Naylamp is a tiny Peruvian restaurant with a maximum occupancy of 23 customers. Don't worry, the restaurant usually does not exceed the occupancy. I don't mind the space. I find it lovely but I am still not happy with this restaurant on how they completely botched my request. read more

Naylamp Peruvian restaurant Serves authentic Peruvian dishes. My favorite is the Peruvian chicken. I always order a half chicken with the green rice and salad. The Peruvian green sauce (AJi Verdi) it's very tasty and I always order extra to dip my chicken in. I also enjoy their delicious Ceviche. Fast, friendly customer service. read more

I got to visit Oklahoma City for the first time with my dad and brother, and as Peruvians, we couldn't wait to try this place. The restaurant is small, but it's absolutely packed with flavor. I have to say, the Pollo à la Brasa (Peruvian roasted chicken) was the only dish that didn't hit the mark for me. It didn't have that classic rotisserie flavor--it felt more like it was baked in an oven, which was a little disappointing since it's usually one of my favorites. But everything else? Amazing. The Lomo Saltado was my top pick, and if you go, definitely ask them to mix the fries into the sauce--it makes all the difference. The decor is super charming, with lots of Peruvian touches, and they even play Peruvian music, which sets such a fun vibe. We were seated right away, and the wait time for food was pretty standard. I did notice a lot of people ordering takeout, probably because the space is pretty small and seating is limited. Overall, it's a great spot for some delicious Peruvian food, even if the chicken didn't quite meet my expectations. read more

The food is very good and chicha morada is the best drink it's a must get!! My niece got the kids meal which is perfect for any kids as a whole meal and if they're picky they will still like it. The yellow meal is Aji de Gallina which was so good but very fulfilling con Arroz Verde which has such a good flavor. The Tacu Tacu is also a classic go to meal. The waiter was nice and told about the lunch specials. It was very crowded at first but then a big family left and it was a nice area. read more

Easily the best peruvian homemade food from Oklahoma and maybe the midwest. Ceviche was flavorful. Leche de tigre was also delicious. Tacu tacu was also amazing. I wish I had a restaurant like this in Kansas like Gabbys too. Service is great. The location is small but good service makes you overlook the rest. read more

A great traditional Peruvian restaurant. No frills and straight forward. The spoken language is Spanish, but they will speak English as well. Food was great! All prepared in the traditional way. Came hot and quickly. Service was amazing as well. The only thing is that the neighborhood didn't seem great. If you get nervous about those things, it may not be right for you. We loved it! read more

Heard of Naylamp and have driven by it. I believe we tried a different location a very long time ago. My wife and I decided to visit the SW location with another couple. It's a small restaurant but they did a good job of seating at every other table due to covid. They also wore masks. It wasn't terribly busy but once we got there, we were followed by multiple families so the restaurant got full fast! The service was pleasant so you may be wondering why the 3 stars. Here's what we ordered: 1. Appetizer: Papa A La Huancaina - Traditional Peruvian appetizer. Combination of sliced boiled potatoes topped with huancaina sauce, boiled eggs and aceitunas. Pretty good. Our first time trying it. 2. Appetizer: Papa Rellena Deep-fried mashed potato, stuffed with seasoned beef raisins. Topped with salsa criolla. Serve with signature green sauce. The description may have a typo because I didn't taste any raisins but it definitely had beef. This is an item I would recommend. It reminds me of shepherd's pie; deep fried. Very flavorful. I could make a meal out of a few of these. There's only one on the plate but it's fairly large. 3. 1/4 chicken with green rice and plantains My wife and I both got this and it wasn't anything that wowed us. We liked it, especially the plantains. The chicken and rice was just mediocre. But here's why we can't say much more. We lost our appetite when 1/2 way through the chicken, my wife sees a 3 inch piece of hair entangled in the wing of her chicken. You can imagine how disgusted she was. I can handle it but she struggles with things like that quite a bit. I understand things happen so we asked them to take it back and give us another entree. They asked if we wanted the same thing and my wife said yes- chicken... They brought back her same exact plate but had just changed out the chicken. That hair may have touched the rice next to it so the proper thing to do was get her a new plate with fresh sides and food. I'm not sure if they just don't know how to handle situations like these but it put a damper on things. She wasn't happy and felt disgusted to begin with to even finish. This is my rant on why they only get the 3. 4. Milanesa De Pollo Slow fried breaded chicken breast served with white rice and our signature salad. Our friend got this and he enjoyed it. He didn't touch the salad, which was similar to a potato salad. He said it lacked salt and was very bland. The rice and breaded chicken were good otherwise. Naylamp is one of the few Peruvian places in OKC so give it a try. We just hope you have a better experience than us. read more

Naylamp Peruvian Restaurant - Trio - Latin American Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Naylamp Peruvian Restaurant I love meals here. I enjoy the Peruvian culture which we get to experience while dining with the folks of Naylamp. Their food is delicious. The decor is casual, comfortable, and welcoming and the staff is attentive. Also, note it is closed on Tuesdays. My favorite dish is probably the Peruvian sampler appetizer which is just the beginning of the best of what this little spot has to offer. There's nothing here which I've ordered which I didn't like. The Peruvian sampler can come with papa a la huancaina, papa rellena, & a tamal. I love the papa a la huancaina which is a boiled potato with a specialty Peruvian cream sauce over the top, the papa rellena is a fried potato ball stuffed with meaty deliciousness-yes, please! There may also be a tasty tamal to round out the trio. For mains, I love the lomo saltado dish which is thin strips of marinated steak mixed with onions, tomatoes, and french fries served with cilantro rice-it's flavorful and delicious. I also love the simple pleasures of salchipappa which is bitesize fried hot dogs mixed up with french fries. Don't judge, it's delicious. I also love the pollo a la brasa which is grilled chicken served with fries, salad and a drink. This is a great dish for sharing if you get the half or whole options. I think the tacu tacu dish is also tasty. Lastly, I recommend the arroz chaufa, AKA fried rice-it's scrumptious. This location has a small and casual dining room. The exterior isn't anything fancy and may be off-putting to a few, but don't let it turn you off. My only criticism of the physical location is the bathroom setup. I believe it may be a challenge for individuals who experience a physical handicap to maneuver in this bathroom as it is so small. They accept cards. They also have an order ahead system on Yelp if you are wanting to pick up your food in a hurry. Yes, the service staff may speak Spanish, but there's usually someone there who speaks English as well. I've never had any communication barriers that couldn't be overcome with a smile and a picture menu, as a last resort. read more

Came into this location(Naylamp South) after reading a Google review from a Peruvian who stated that this Naylamp is the better and more authentic of the 2 locations(this being the original). It's in a somewhat shady location and we were a little apprehensive coming in for dinner at night. Ended up sitting at a table where we could keep an eye on our car, and all ended up being ok. We were the only ones in the restaurant, and were served promptly by the wait staff who had just been chilling. Tap water tasted a little strange, so I would recommend going with a tall glass bottle of Fanta instead. Got the lomo saltado as my entree and it was delicious. It consists of strips of marinated steak, bell peppers and onions on top of a bed of fries, with a scoop of white rice on the side and comes with green sauce. As with most times I've had Hispanic steak, the meat is very well flavored. Having the fries at the bottom is great too, because they soak in all the flavor and juice from the meat and vegetables. The others at my table got the rotisserie chicken and it was subpar. My main point of comparison is the rotisserie chicken at Inca Trail, and it was dry and the flavor bland in comparison. However, the lomo saltado was good enough for Naylamp to earn a solid 4 stars. I'd consider coming back for that, and sticking with Inca Trail for my Peruvian rotisserie chicken. read more

Naylamp Peruvian Restaurant - Lomo saltado - $9.99 - Latin American Near Me - Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Savored every bite of my (tangy, well seasoned, and exceptionally well balanced) ceviche mixto. My sister in law went hog wild over her Lomo Saltado, and my husband ventured a little outside his comfort zone to try green rice and plantains. the To quote fellow Yelper Rebecka M., "It's attached to Sugar's bar and looks like a total dive from the outside. It's small and casual inside but very clean." We want to order the Milanesa de Pollo and the Papa Rellena on our next trip in. (The Palta Rellena we had at Inca Trail was good, so . . . ) We also want to try Papa A La Huancaina -- a very traditional Peruvian appetizer. (Imagine a mixture of sliced, boiled potatoes topped with a signature sauce and chopped hard-boiled eggs. Yum.) Just lovely! read more

I'm so happy I got to try Peruvian food in Oklahoma City! Being in DFW, I've tried just about every Peruvian place and though they are good I just can't get enough and wanted to try another restaurant. Naylamp was awesome, that was probably my favorite papa rellena I've ever had and it was amazing with the salsa criolla. The lomo saltado had so much flavor, it was a nice portion as well. The fried yucca was a great side to have with the meal as a nice crispy bite! If you're around, please support this restaurant! read more

Excellent! This whole in the wall restaurant that you probably drive by without noticing has some of the best food in OKC. When I first out it, I ate here three times in one week. I've never had a fish I didn't like. Tonight I had the Lomo Saltado, a Peruvian stir fry dish. It consists of beef strips cooked in a red wine sauce with onions, tomatoes and bell peppers and is served over fries with a side of rice. They have a green sauce to pour over your food and it's so flavorful. I absolutely recommend Naylamp as I'm quickly becoming a regular. read more

Great little place on SW 44th. It's the kind of place Anthony Bourdain would have loved. I had the lomo saltado. It was a beef stir fry with French fries and rice. The sauce was flavorful but the beef was a little tough. My mom had chicken legs and green rice. She enjoyed both. We also ordered the potato appetizer with a creamy sauce. It was also very good. Plenty for leftovers. If you want to change the world, come to places like this. read more
