    Lomo Saltado Specialty
    Brooke T.

    I have always seen this place but never thought to try it. Had a craving for some lomo saltado, they had it on the menu, so why not. Ordered two; one for me and one for the him. It takes ten minutes to make, so I went to grab something from the grocery store next door. It looked like it was a fairly nice potion for the price point, which is less than other restaurants. I noticed that there were smaller pieces of beef and not as many veggies. Also, the French fries were definitely of the frozen ore ida variety. All in all it was okay in a pinch, I didn't mind it. The rice had a great flavor, the beef had a nice flavor too, but needed to be cooked more. The fries were an afterthought. I wish they put in more veggies. The hubs said it was a no go for him... Can't say that I'd come back for this dish.

    Fried Yucca

    Peru's Chicken gives such big portions of authentic food! Everything was deliciously seasoned. I literally couldn't decide what to get so I got 3 things that normally don't go together. I wanted the salad to be healthy, the rice because it's just filled with deliciousness and the yucca because it's not quite a fry but it has such a nice little crisp to it! I don't normally sit down in the restaurant - but I did Uber eats and had a delivered to my house and just enjoyed it. The few times I did go in the restaurant everyone was very nice - I had their veggies before too and they're really good I took them to a Christmas party once before.

    On my last (and final) visit to Peru's, the person at the register was FLOSSING HIS TEETH when I walked in. He then proceeded to serve the food without washing his hands. That was enough to turn me all the way off. Flossing your teeth around food and then serving food without washing your hands (the hands that were just in your mouth) is a no-no for me.

    Creamed spinach

    Found this place on Upside. Very much a carry out though you can sit inside and eat. Nice Spanish speaking staff. I got a half chicken and you get two sides so I got the green beans and the creamed spinach. Chicken decently priced and you get a big juicy piece. Oooo it's seasoned well but not as good as my fave Peruvian place "chicken and whiskey". I got the yellow sauce and it's nasty. Don't mess with that sauce. The green beans are out of this world with onions and it's so flavorful. They give you a healthy portion. Creamed spinach was watery but decent.

    I love the lomo sataldo here. Its always hot a fresh. The crinkle cut fries incorporated in the dish could use an upgrade.

The ceviche is really good, can never go wrong with ceviche, especially if you're going tapas style. The ají de gallina, lomo saltado and lamb are so freaking good, the meat is tender, the sauces are perfection, and when you mix the rice to with the sauce it's absolutely delicious. Heard about this place a while, finally tried it out a couple times now, already can't wait to go back!

    First off, I'd never even heard of this place and was shocked to see it at a 4.9 with like 30k…read moreGoogle reviews. 4.6 on Yelp is pretty wild too, we had to check it out. Interior is nice, they could do without the 70 inch flatscreen screensaver in the back of the restaurant - otherwise liked the layout and decor. Service was a bit spotty, but very friendly. Bussing was top tier. We ordered about 6 items and were told "things will come out as they are ready". Great, I dig that type of service and we're in no hurry. We got our drinks about 5 minutes after we ordered them... and then 5 of the 6 dishes came out less than a minute after that. Not a good look. The final dish came out 2 minutes later, our table was completely out of room, they had to take our share plates. Definitely put a damper on a nice dinner, and the speed at which everything came out was... oddly quick for such a diverse order. Anyway, tostones were the best. Lomo saltado roll just tasted like a sweet Americanized sushi roll - didn't get any steak flavor really. Causas were okay. Ceviche was solid, no complaints. They had a take on bang bang shrimp, shrimp were cooked very well but way too much spicy mayo for our taste. Arroz con pollo was delightful, and a plentiful serving. Where there's smoke metal margarita was delicious. Pisco sours were absolute fire. Glad we tried it, but probably a one and done.
