Very good service. My group of 5 ordered with separate checks and everything was correct - orders and checks. I ordered the Pollo Parrillero Combo which included two sides. I chose the cilantro rice and pinto beans. I loved the creamy pinto beans - best beans I've ever gotten in a restaurant - but the rice had little taste and was dry. The chicken was flavorful. I would go again but not order the cilantro rice. read more

I really hate to do this, but I have to. What a terrible, terrible experience we have coming here. I came to this place about 2 years ago and we were delighted, one thing was better than the other and this time was so different, starting the door was locked for some reason even though the restaurant was in business hours so we waited outside along with one of the cooks who texted the server to unlock the front door. The server was so disengaged with all, but it's fine I came for the food so it wasn't a big deal, it turns in a big deal when the service and the food are awful, I order a chicken chaufa (Peruvian fried rice) and my water tasted better, it was very unpleasant, the lomo saltado was terrible as well, with no more than 4 oz of steak and the rest of the plate was 1 mountain of rice and French fries, the ceviche was ok which was the best out of the 3 dishes we order. The cherry on top is that they charge you 3% if you pay with a credit card and I find that so incivil that makes me angry of thinking about it. I hate to say it but save yourself some time and bad times and go somewhere else. The ambiance felt like In a funeral. read more

Located next to David's Bridal, Peru Taco offers Mexican and Peruvian dishes at affordable pricing. We came in for tacos. Walking in we were immediately greeted by Eli. The main dining space there has five tables in the main area plus three booths. We chose one of the booths which just gave us tiny bit of privacy and additional comfort. Eli brought us waters and complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was excellent and chips were fresh. The menu has both Peruvian items and Mexican items. They are known for their chicken so I ordered two chicken tacos and one shrimp. My husband ordered el pastor and the carne asada. We also ordered a causa de pollo to share. Not knowing what the causa de pollo was (Peruvian dish) we were quite happy when it arrived. Turns out it is pureed yellow potato and yellow chili paste formed into two round circles. Then with their broiled chicken shredded, raw carrot, green onion and a tiny bit of sweet mayonnaise (similar to Japanese mayo) It was the shining star of this meal. Perfect. We shamelessly mmmmmm'd and ooooooooh'd while eating it. (True) Soon our tacos came out. They were well presented and came on taco stands. They looked much better than the last two taco places we went to. We bit into them and they tasted amazing. Our favorite was the chicken with a house green mystery sauce. We left full and happy. 4 star rating only for restaurant not having enough cash to give us exact change and also for charging customers 3% more if they used credit. Service and food were both was excellent, otherwise. read more

Service was great. Some things came out fast & others took much longer than I thought they should (cold seafood dish). Overall, I do think it's a bit overpriced but looking forward to coming back & trying more. The Causa de Pollo is just as good as I had in Peru! I'm not always the biggest chicken fan but this is the place to eat it! If you like mulled wine, you'll like their chicha morada! It's honestly the only Peruvian place I have found authentic things like that drink, anticuchos (beef heart skewers...trust me), papas a La huacaina, salchipapas, ect. Wasn't crazy about the mussels...bit overcooked & plain. The chips & salsa are better than at most Mexican restaurants to be honest. Will return! read more

First off, great service! I was there to place a to-go order and the staff was top notch. They asked if I wanted a drink while I was waiting and didn't rush me to place an order. I ordered the 1/4 chicken with plaintains. The food was delicious. This is a small restaurant with seating inside and a bar. It was quiet but still fairly early when I went in. This is a great peruvian choice up near Sawmill. read more

I have decided I love fried yucca. It tasted kinda like Chinese yam...and that's medicinal so...by transitive property, yucca must be good for me too :) I love fish tacos! Would have liked a little spice with it tho :/ Did they not give it to me bc I looked weak :'( Service was very attentive! I was also a big fan of what the restaurant had playing on the TVs: prostate medication ads and MMA reruns read more

Kind server. Good tasting tacos. Authentic food. Nice small quiet eating area. The food was too spicy and the server swapped it for something else! read more

Decided to try this place and although it was not bad at all it could have been a whole lot better. The layout of the restaurant was different. You have tables and then a few booths but it seemed like that were different rooms. I just didn't understand what they were trying to go for. The service was fine but it would have been nice to recommend a few dishes for us to try. We did mention it was our first time visiting and the menu was not fully in English. The appetizer menu was not in English at all. So most people would not know what these items were. They do serve alcohol and the waitress did mention that the wine we selected was on the sweet side, so instead she made a cocktail that was perfect. I ordered what appeared to be basil pasta and I will say it was good. It came with a breast of chicken which was extremely dry. I'm giving 2 stars because the service was good but everything else could and needs improvement. read more

OVERALL 5 STAR RATING, with 22 of 25 being 5*s - what else do I need to say...?!? We dined here again. Same experience - awesome drinks and food, friendly service, good prices, completely 100% satisfied. OMG, you will increase the happiness in your life if you order a whole grilled chicken, fried rice (trust me), bacon beans, and the light green sauce (I think it's creamed jalapenos). I love their Jalapeno Margarita - not too spicy, just right, super flavorful. She likes the Perfect Margarita. Folks, this is a gem. Small, family-owned, and the clearly care. Go, just go... you'll thank me. And you'll probably see us there. read more

Friendly service and it smelled good when we walked in but all the dishes lacked flavor. We tried chicken, Lomo saltado, apps and a few others. Sadly disappointing. read more

OMG, this place was delicious! I had their 1/4 chicken with 2 sides and it was only $11. It felt like the portions were just the right size too - not too much but not too little. The chicken itself is packed with so much flavor. I paired it with sweet plantains and fried rice but there are other options you can choose from. The waitress was very attentive to our needs. She kept checking in on us and removing plates as we finished up. She also offered us hot sauce for our food. She definitely went above & beyond to ensure we were good! The restaurant itself is pretty cute. They have decorations all around the walls. They were also playing music but it wasn't super loud, just the right amount of background noise but I could still hear the person I was with. Worth checking out for sure! read more

I hope everyone gives this new Peruvian restaurant a try and support our mom and pop businesses. Such wonderful owners and such a warm and friendly environment, and plenty of good authentic Peruvian food. We got their charbroiled chicken with sweet plantains (delicious) and another one of their authentic beef dishes (I can't recall the name but it was pretty good). The chicken was fall of the bone and worked really well with a dip accompaniment. Their margaritas are to die for. So I do plan to try their Mexican selection sometime soon. Our server was very friendly and chatted with us for a long time after the meal, patiently describing Peru, their food and culture. read more

I wanted to love this place and, based on the reviews, I really thought I was going to. Maybe it was just an off day? To be fair...I do think when you call yourself a taco bar, the tacos should be really solid. Chips and homemade salsa were great. Taco and enchilada were not. Really thin, watery texture on the refried beans. Dark meat chicken in the enchilada, which is unappealing to me personally. Taco was really light on toppings of cheese or lettuce (no tomatoes). I did not try any of the Peruvian menu items. This is probably where they shine. Service was friendly and I still encourage others to check out this new restaurant. It is located right next door in the David's Bridal shopping plaza. (signage is easy to miss) read more

I stopped by the Peru Taco Bar, in a modest Dublin strip mall. Surprisingly, this place has waiter service and my server was fast and friendly. We began with free chips and salsa. Chips and tacos are very much not Peruvian, but I couldn't say no. My meal was the lomo saltado with beef and it was excellent. The beef and vegetables were grilled perfectly and served with a delicious sauce. I know how hard it is to find decent ethnic food in Columbus, so I'm so glad Peru Taco is open. If only we could do something about that name... read more

We were excited to see a Peruvian restaurant open! There's plenty of parking outside and space inside for small groups, families, or casual dates! Bring your friends, family, and everyone in between. We walked in on a Sunday afternoon and we sat ourselves. Our server gave us water, tortilla chips, and fresh tomato salsa very quickly. We were pleasantly surprised at the free chips and dip, we ended up finishing two baskets of chips. Everything on the menu sounded so delicious and everything we ended up ordering was fantastic! Our server and service was incredible, attentive, quick, and super friendly. We appreciated the attentiveness and kindness for our first time. We got the Pollo Parrillero with a side of fries and sweet plantains and the Crazy Trio. Everything was juicy, delicious, seasoned very well, and cooked perfectly! The Pollo Parrillero was my absolute favorite and it was delicious. Our server recommended the sweet plantains and I loved every bite. I have slight regret about getting fries because I was under pressure, but happily will come back to try other dishes and sides. We recommend the Crazy Trio because you get a little bit of everything: chicken, beef, and shrimp and it was incredible. Our server also gave us the house sauces and those were so good and paired well with the entrees. We spent about $41 for 2 before tip, which is a bit expensive, but they do have lunch specials that are probably a bit more budget friendly. We highly highly recommend and will be coming back asap. Great place for delicious, authentic, and super delicious food, yum! read more

This place is only a half mile from my girl's place and it kept popping up so thought we'd try it out. First glance....eh...it ain't exactly pretty. Not really in the best part of town to catch a lot of people. It's also not exactly fancy on the inside. Design is kind of neat and it is certainly clean. It's also pretty small. None of these things bother me. Almost prefer it as it may keep people out and I'm selfish. Chips and salsa came out fast. Chips are made in house and come out hot. Salsa is definitely made in house. I didn't ask, but it's not like anything I've had around town. It. Is. Delicious. This might be my favorite in Columbus now. Fresh chips and that salsa almost filled me up before my dinner! Combo Indica which is the Lomo Saltado with Peruvian fried rice. This just absolutely knocked me on my ass it was so good. Girlfriend tried it and agreed it was incredible. Onions, tomatoes, and beef cooked perfectly and the seasoning and sauce are out of this world. I definitely got some cinnamon and maaaaaybe even a bit of chocolate? But absolutely not like that Skyline dumpster fire. Little bit sweet and very savory. Nothing like anything I've had before. Would absolutely love to have every day for the rest of my life. Oddly, I tried to tell the guy serving us how great my food was twice and he did not care at all. Just said thanks and walked off. Not going to rate negatively about that, but it was certainly odd. All that and didn't even get to the fried rice yet. Also damn delicious. Just a bit different taste than the fried rice we're all use to, but so good. Added their cilantro based "hot sauce," to it which was also delicious. I planned to take the rice home as I didn't want to eat it (had too much junk today already), but I couldn't stop myself and finished all of it. So why 4 stars? Service was meeeeh. Very slow to come ask our drink order, never got water, took awhile to get the drinks even though there was only 8 other people in the restaurant. Dishes weren't taken after they were finished with a staff member leaning back on the bar playing on her phone literally at my 12 o'clock. Also had empty drink for about 15 minutes during this time. Honestly was just waiting for her to notice and ask just to see how long it would take. She never actually offered me another drink, I had to ask. Appears only one person in the restaurant spoke English so you'll have to be a little patient with that. The drink prices aren't hole in the wall cheap either. Captain and diet was $9 and a jumbo margarita that was delicious, but filled to the brim with ice was $14. I could probably knock the whole thing out in a few seconds if I was trying. Absolutely delicious food, but not sure I'll be back anytime soon because of the service. read more

Was in the area so I checked other Yelp reviews. I would have passed over this place had it not been for the reviews. Decided to try them out. Despite what a few reviews posted our service was prompt and attentive. We had 3 different people who constantly kept checking on us. The drinks were served quick and our food was ready soon after. Margaritas was not a mix we watched him prepare them. Food was served hot with great flavor. Chips and salsa were great not jarred but fresh. Shrimp was cooked perfectly not rubbery and chewy. A bit pricey but well worth it. read more

Im not proud about it, but on many a Friday night I get an uncontolled desire to wreck myself with Chips, salsa, guac and Margaritas. Cuco's is about the only place we leave room for having some food with all of that. The craving hit... but hubbie wanted something more. something New. Enter Yelp! and ...Peruvian cuisine!! BINGO!! Its done well! Excellent attentive service. Great dishes. Killer Margs, chips, salsa and guac.... but Also Amazing chicken, so much umami in the rice, and then DESSERT! Crunchy churros... and was that ice cresm homemade or did it just taste like it? dont skip the cookies eithor .... worth the extra time in the gym. Gotta go back soon! Its a small place, but cozy. Comfortable... and no Mariachi music dancing in my hangover. just sayin... only order the big Margs if you are trained for it. read more

We were in town for a few days, we ate here 3 days. Monday and Wednesday the restaurant was empty very nice and great food but they CAN'T handle big crowds, came back Saturday it took over 3 hours to get our food the waitresses look like chickens with no head, one couple left. I got my food then about 45 minutes later my partner got his. They are not organized ay all! im not exaggerating. 2 stars to the two good days. read more

Noticed this had replaced Ba Sho and Momo Ghar, and came here as soon as I had a chance. Ended up meeting a friend, who loves ceviche. I really like it as well, and there were other interesting things on the menu. Space is a bit more open than Ba Sho had it, but it's still small to midsize. Nice but nothing too fancy. Mexican and Peruvian dishes. We got a standard ceviche to share; it was a good size for that, or would be a decent entrée. The fish was fresh, and perfectly "cooked," and accompanied with onions and dried corn, etc. They brought hot sauce upon request. One was green and not hot, the red one was moderately hot. Went nicely with the fish and the other dishes. My friend got a beef dish that I forgot the name of. He said that the beef was tender but not very flavorful, the sauce was very good. He really enjoyed it. I got the grilled chicken tacos. They were very good, although not spectacular. But good tortillas, good chicken, good toppings. Service was good, prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity. It ain't cheap, but seafood, and ceviche, are never cheap. I would definitely come back to try other things, and to get the ceviche again. read more

Excellent little hole in the wall spot for delicious Peruvian chicken, rice, beans and CEVICHE...Peruvian chicken is slow roasted over charcoal and the flavor is "da bomb dot com". Enjoy all the sauces as well...a slightly spicy green cilantro sauce is my favorite...I literally could drink it or use it as an awesome salad dressing as well. Anyways the menu is straightforward, simple and delicious. I don't really like giving 5 stars because once the word is out everybody goes and this small place can get crowded quick...but the Peruvian flavors will keep you coming back, guaranteed. read more

This new restaurant has received good reviews, so a friend and I met for a Friday lunch to try them out. Unfortunately, Columbus doesn't have many authentic Peruvian restaurants, and the few I've been to are pretty spectacular, so I was interested to try this place. I went with their 1/4 Charcoal Chicken and two sides - black beans and sweet plantains. The chicken was delicious! So tender and juicy, seasoned well (not overly!). The black beans were also really good - the seasoning mixed in was fantastic. The plantains could have been cooked a bit longer to make them more soft, but were decent. I'd like to go back - the food was tasty and I really want to try their ceviche! read more

really wish we could have better food, service like other reviews stated, unfortunately that's not the case for us. first thing first, the service. it was a dinner on Friday, 3 tables , 12 people were seated before us, with some food and drinks already seen on their tables. we sit down and ordered our food. Tacos and Fajitas for two of us. ended up almost an hour before our food served. and strange thing was, they continued to deliver food to other tables which sit in before us , meaning they even waited much longer than we did. 2. food quality is ok. i mean, they are not bad, made with fresh stuffs, but like some other reviewers also mentioned , not really well marinated , nothing really WOW you as the name of the restaurant 'Taco Bar' . nothing special or at least not to our taste. i think i could enjoy more with Chili's , probably because of my high expectation base on the reviews. my family would probably just treat this first experience as our last read more

Have been hoping for a Peruvian restaurant for a long time, Don't let the name fool you this is way more than tacos! Best authentic cerviche mixto I've had in Columbus.

We enjoyed our visit. It was quite tasty. We all had something different from Tacos to the "spaghetti". I had the excellent ceviche. The server was quite pleasant and there was a nice vibe. The roasted Peruvian chicken looked and smelled excellent (we have enjoyed all this dishes in Peru). Two small complaints however: we ordered Pisco Sours which we love and heard they were $8/each. When we got our check we discovered they were $15/each. They more than doubled our check! We'll keep on making our Pisco Sours at home (not hard). The other issues is that "platters" are several dollars more but sounded worth it with the addition of sweet potato and the Peruvian corn. That amounted to one small slice of sweet potato and about two tablespoons of Peruvian toasted corn - simply not a value. But still a recommended 5-star joint; just learn how to utilize the menu. read more

Go. Just go. Dined at Peru Taco Bar last night. Ho-Ly-Cow!!! It was so good! I was meeting a friend who lives in Dublin and was looking for something in between us. This popped up in yelp with great reviews. I was a little like: "Peruvian/Mexican fusion?" But, they were not wrong. I had Combo Inca. Peruvian fried rice (go with it! Lol) and Lomo Soltado. I had to look the latter up. But at its heart... it's a beef stir fry with Peruvian flavors. I about licked my plate! Great service! Solid drinks. Fast and casual. Give it a try! read more

Truly delicious food. Plantains, beans, 1/2 chicken was amazing. Love the Peruvian NA drinks. So good. Great staff. Excellent food.

Wow!!!! Incredible. Great service. Super friendly and attentive. Several $8 lunch specials available until 3 pm each day. I went with the steak fajitas. This was a full plate of fajitas with all the fixings. They are a Peruvian and Mexican fusion restaurant. The flavors were incredible. I wish I had gotten both steak and chicken. You can't beat the deal for the portion and the price. I also tried a jumbo margarita. It was in a green solo cup for Cinco de mayo but I think that cup was bigger than the actual glass they normally use, so no complaints from me. Loved the peach flavor. If I hadn't been planning on hitting a few spots that day I would definitely have ordered another. Seriously impressed by my experience here. Cannot wait to go try the tacos. It is a taco bar after all. read more
