Wow just wow! We were here for my husbands 40th birthday and we ended up coming back 3 times while we were here. We tried the aguadito, lomo saltado, aji gallina, chaufa rotisserie,tamal, ceviche, lacuma ice cream, maracuya sour, and chicha morada sour. EVERY SINGLE THING WE ORDERED WAS DELICIOUS!!!!! The aguadito was literally a home cooked meal that touches your soul! I got it as much as I could. The ceviche had such good flavor. The rotisserie chicken was so well cooked. The maracuya and chicha sour drinks were amazing! Both have sweet profiles but their not over powering. I added Tajin on my rim! We were so happy with everything we got and it felt like your grandmother was in the back cooking your food! Not only was the food delicious but the servers were so friendly and attentive. There was a nice and intimate ambiance with seating both inside and outside. Sorry we didn't have more pictures, we dove into quickly and licked our plates! We will be back every time we are back in Palm Springs. read more

I was in town for "business" reasons and asked "locals" here what they recommended as must eats... hence, I ended up here. OVERALL: The quality is a miss. The proportional quantity is a miss. This place is a miss. CEVICHE MIXTO: Mussels overcooked (there was only one and without the shell). Shrimp bordering on overcooked. Squid is alright and the best part of the seafood mix. Fish is raw (as expected) but the texture was unsettling. Loved the included blend of "corn" from steamed to salted crisp. LOMO SALTADO: LOMO = beef. Omg, the yuca fries were 3x the amount of meat. Half of the chunks of beef were rock hard. The other half of the beef were moderately tender. The red onions were half cooked but delicious. The rice was overcooked. The sauce / base was delicious. ***YES MAKE SURE YOU TRY THE GREEN SAUCE!!!*** INCA KOLA: Artificially delicious. It tasted exactly like rock sugar candy on a stick from childhood. SERVICE: Male wait staff was kind and friendly as well as mildly attentive... still had to wave him down most of the time. However, it was terrible how he didn't forewarn us that solely hot water was $2. HOT WATER FOR $2!!! Never came to refill any of our beverages except offered us leftover water (hazy / cloudy glass bottles with 1/4 water left in them) as we were there 1 hour before closing. Asked how we were doing once. AMBIANCE: Casual dining. Indoor and outdoor seating. We were the only table the entire time (...if this tells you anything). One pickup order. Service fees not automatically included. Booths, tables, chairs and utensils were dirty. Located in a plaza with a large free private parking lot. Would I come back? Definitely not but now I am definitely excited to try other establishments with Peruvian food. read more

I'm so glad I came in. I haven't had Peruvian food in a while and this did not disappoint. First of all, I was greeted at the door when I exited my car. Super welcoming customer service! I had tuna causa because it was hot outside and I wanted something light. Tangy and not too heavy just as advertised. The star however was the chicken and shrimp lomo saltado. I always get beef and I asked the hostess, Sara, what she favors and she said shrimp and chicken. Enough said. This is where magic happened. The chicken was crispy and they were generous with the shrimp. The chicken is never crispy when I order it somewhere else. It's just stir fried. That's what made this chicken saltado special. I'm Asian and I thought the scoop of rice would be modest, but it's was just right. Sara was a superstar. That was my experience. Everything was just right! I will be back. read more

First time trying Peruvian food and Im already looking forward to the next time I can enjoy it! Think of Peruvian Fuego as a half tapas, half entree kind of menu with fresh and flavorful tastes. I went with the mussel ceviche and pork belly which didn't disappoint. The staff was also attentive and friendly despite the night getting busier! read more

Peruvian Fuego is a hidden gem that serves up authentic flavors with so much heart and soul. It's a family-owned spot, and you can really feel the love in every dish. José was absolutely wonderful--so kind, welcoming, and attentive throughout our meal. We tried the empanada (super flaky and packed with flavor!), the lomo saltado (a little overcooked but perfectly seasoned), sweet plantains, and the appetizer sampler, which had crispy yuca fries, fresh fish ceviche, and potatoes topped with their creamy signature sauce. Everything was chef's kiss--so satisfying and full of flavor. Perfect for a cozy date night. Can't wait to come back and try more! Support small businesses like this one--you won't regret it. read more

Ordered to go. About a 5-10 min car drive home. Lomo saltado - beef was hard to chew; way overcooked. Chaufa shrimp - tasty fried rice with good amount of shrimp. Would order again. Chicharron with yucca fries - crispy pork with luscious layer of partly rendered fat. Fries were also crispy and soft on the inside. Only complaint, smaller portion compared to the other dishes ordered. Overall, a good meal. Don't forget to ask for the green sauce because it goes with everything! read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Peruvian Fuego. This is a fairly small restaurant in a shopping center with beautiful Peruvian decor; a great spot for a date. My partner and I were promptly seated and the staff were attentive throughout our meal. We ordered a couple of drinks, the Pilsner and chicha morada sour, and the chicha sour was delicious and well balanced. We decided to do various appetizers for food, so we ordered the following: cancha (5/5; a great small app with dried and crunchy corn that comes with great sauce), aguadito soup (5/5; the flavor of the broth was delicious, I added a little lime juice and it was perfect. The chicken and potato included are filling but not very flavorful so I focused on the broth), tamale (5.5/5; possibly the best tamale I've ever had. Amazing flavor and the pickled onions and sauce paired perfectly), chicharron con yucca (4.5/5; very crispy pieces of pork belly with a few yucca fries. Again, the pickled onions were a nice touch. The dish definitely needed the sauce because the main components were both quite dry), mussels ceviche/choros a la chalaca (5/5; very fresh mussels and all of the toppings paired well together. Overall, we had an awesome dinner and every dish was satisfying and tasty. read more

The food and the cocktails were amazing. We had a great server named Sarah. This is one of the best meals I've had in Palm Springs. There are two suggestions that would make the restaurant even better. It would be great to add some plant based proteins to the chaufa such as a tofu. And using impossible burger in one of their top beef dishes would be appreciated. The decor could be improved. The chauffa, ceviche, and drinks were SO tasty! read more

Although Peruvian Fuego has a broad amount of food on their menu, we seized upon them having pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken), and went straight for that. I ordered the half chicken with rice and salad. The chicken was juicy, marinated just right, and had great flavor. My wife had tallerines verdes with some pollo a la brasa, and she immediately loved it, and she's not even always a big chicken fan. Both dinners came with sauce, one of them having a little bit of a "kick" to it, and both being complex and delicious. I've been to Peru twice, and have been a fan of pollo a la brasa for quite some time, so I was happy to find a place that not only serves it, but does it well. The service was excellent, with our waiter, Jose, formerly from Lima. I forgot to mention that the chicha morada, a sweetened blue corn drink, was also delicious. And yes, they have Inka Cola. I know that will make some of you happy. When we were in Peru, we used to joke that if you could turn bubble gum into a soft drink, it'd be Inka Cola. Definitely recommended. And sorry, I forgot to take photos, so you'll just have to suffer without them, haha! But we will return!! read more

By far one of the best Peruvian restaurants I've been to. The food and drinks were full of flavor. I ordered the pescado frito, which was cooked perfectly, and my husband had the bistec a lo pobre. We also shared the papa a la huancaína, which had great flavor and reminded me of how my grandma in Peru used to make it--different, but still very good. The only downside for me was the arroz chaufa. I ordered it instead of white rice, but it tasted more like Chinese fried rice rather than traditional Peruvian chaufa. Also, my husband's steak was cut thinner than the usual thick cut most places serve, though it still had good flavor. For drinks, I had the chicha morada cosmopolitan and my husband ordered a pisco sour--both were on point. Overall, for the time and effort they put into the food, it's definitely worth the price. Service was a bit slow, but in the end, it paid off. read more

From service to food, everything was great. Chicha morada was delicious, lomo saltado tender, ceviche fresh, and fried rice I can eat more than I should. Flan to close the deal - just the right amount of sweetness. It's located in an unassuming strip mall with plenty of parking. It is not going to be in the touristy area of the desert, which I kinda like especially when looking for good Peruvian food. read more

TL;DR: friendly service, food was delicious A last minute decision - we were at the grocery store trying to decide where to go for lunch when someone suggested we just do takeout and bring the food back for our group in our Airbnb in Palm Springs. After a quick Google maps search, I came upon Peruvian Fuego which checked the boxes for everyone. We hopped over to order, and the service staff were super nice and friendly. Wait time was about 30 minutes for them to get the food together which is reasonable and would have been perfect if we were the type to call ahead to order. The restaurant itself is quite small and cosy, they have an outdoor seating area as well. Ventilation wasn't the best in there since the kitchen was open to the dining room so that's something to consider if you do end up dining in. We ended up getting: Lomo Saltado: one with chaufa, one with regular rice. Was delicious, a bit on the salty side but paired fine with a carb. Pretty generous with the meat and fries. Causa with lomo saltado: also delicious since it was the same lomo saltado as the above. I liked the mashed potatoes. Ceviche mixto: deliciously refreshing in the heat! Had a good amount of fish, and other seafood. Pollo a la brasa: we got a half chicken which was juicy, even the breast meat. It was well seasoned and had overall good flavor. We didn't get a side included since we only wanted a salad and got that separately. Aji de gallina: deliciously creamy, the chicken was shredded and a little dry but the sauce fixed it all. Went perfectly with the rice, hard boiled egg and potatoes on the side. read more

Friendly service and very nice food! Located in a plaza so easy to park. The chicharron is very crispy and has a great flavor. The lucuma ice cream is a must try! Very unique sweetness and fragrance, almost like maple syrup. read more

Peruvian cuisine is new to me and I tend to get the lomo saltado since it's one of the only dishes I'm familiar with. After visiting Peruvian Fuego, I realized that I need more Peruvian food in my life. I got the tallarines verdes with steak and I loved it. The green sauce was delicious. The ceviche tasted fresh and the additions of corn was a great touch. I enjoyed both dishes very much. The employees are nice and friendly. The restaurant exudes a welcoming feeling. read more

Glad we found this small Peruvian spot in a big plaza. The shrimp ceviche was a generous portion and deeelicious - a must try! The beef for the Lomo Saltado was unfortunately on the dry side, but the flavor was there. We placed a large order for pick up and the waitress was super friendly and attentive, everything was correct when we brought it back. Will def stop by again on our next trip out here. read more

RAVE. Peruvian Fuego. Grabbed to go Thurs night. Tried the special AJI DE GALLINA which was shredded chicken (huge portion) in a creamy nutty sauce with side of rice. It was delicious. Partner had fried fish sandwich (second time) and raved. I've had the Saltado served various ways and particularly love it in Causa. Always enjoy supporting this local restaurant and never had a bad meal. read more

The Yelpers did not steer us wrong with the reviews - this place punches above its strip mall weight. They have indoor and outdoor seating; service is friendly and efficient. We ordered the appetizer sampler (yucca fries, leche de Tigre (shrimp), and potato), the empanada, the lomo saltado with chaufa rice, rotisserie chicken, and the bistec. For dessert, we ordered the pinono (roll cake) and the crema volteada (flan). It was all delicious, and beautifully prepared (down to the detail of the soft yolk in the eggs that accompanied the bistec). And the toasted corn kernel garnish on the leche de Tigre - so good! And authentic. What a lovely experience. We'll be back. read more

A Heartfelt Feast at Peruvian Fuego Tucked away with unassuming charm, Peruvian Fuego is a culinary gem that delivers bold flavors, warm hospitality, and unforgettable moments. From the moment you walk in, the aroma pulls you straight to the counter--but let me start with the standout: the empanada. Flaky, golden, perfectly seasoned--it's to die for. Each bite is a savory explosion that balances richness with a delicate crust. It's reason enough to come back again and again. Then there's the chicken--juicy, tender, and marinated to perfection with Peruvian spices that linger just long enough to keep you craving more. It's comfort food with a vibrant twist. But what truly makes Peruvian Fuego shine is the people. The staff are friendly and welcoming, making you feel more like a guest at their table than a customer. And the owner? Incredible. I visited to celebrate Bazil's 75th birthday today, May 1, and not only did the owner stop by personally to offer his well wishes, but he also surprised Bazil with a complimentary Peruvian flan--smooth, sweet, and the perfect way to end the meal. It's not just about food here. It's about connection, culture, and care. Peruvian Fuego isn't just a restaurant--it's an experience you'll want to return to. 5 stars. Go for the empanada. Stay for the heart. Oky and Bazil read more

Peru here we go! Just kidding, but I'll settle for this restaurant in the states for now. Fuego it is!! Location: Located inside of a large plaza on Sunrise Way. Plenty of parking spaces. Interior: Not too many tables and chairs inside the restaurant. They do have some tables and chairs outside. We sat inside as the weather was over degrees. Service: Quick and friendly employees. In addition, they gave us a lot of attention and making sure that we got our food and anything else that we needed. Food: We couldn't decide on what to get so we pretty much ordered a bunch of food. Mixto Ceviche (fish, shrimp, mussels, and calamari): $20 Pan con Chicharron (pork belly sandwich): $13 Empanadas Tallarines Verdes (pan seared steak with spinach and basil linguine): $17 Bisteca a lo Pobre (pan seared steak, fried egg, plantains, French fries, and side of white rice): $17 Can't forget to order their plantains: $6 (sweet and delicious) Drinks: They have all sorts of soft drinks and alcohol. So I tried their Inca Kola ($3) and it was pretty good. read more
