    I am a bit torn with this review because the service was great, but the food was just ok. I thought I would go with the basic, Lomo Saltado, and Pollo Saltado. The food was...average. you get a ton of fries but only a little bit of meat, tomatoes and onions. The meat wasn't to tender, but not horribly tough. I might go there again only because it is close to home. The shrimp ceviche was flavorful, but the shrimps were mushy.

    Chicha Morada.

    Lovely Peruvian restaurant on Route 66. An older looking building from the outside but the interior is spacious, cheerfully decorated with an open, industrial feel. I was warmly welcomed by the friendly staff when I entered and was seated immediately. I ordered Cau Cau and a Pollo Saltado. The Cau Cau had tender pieces of honeycomb tripe cooked with potatoes, carrots, and peas in an aji amarillo sauce. There were julienne strips of spearmint throughout the stew which gave it a bright flavor. Steamed white rice and thinly sliced red onion marinated in lime juice were served along with the tripe. These were good accompaniments, especially the red onions which served as a palate cleanser. The aji amarillo sauce in the dish was very mild in flavor. The aji verde table sauce in a squeeze bottle turned out to be more creamy than spicy. Only a slight kick could be found there. All in all, the Cau Cau was still a delicious dish and perfect for those who prefer a less fiery heat experience. Pollo Saltado had tender strips of chicken breast sauteed with French fries, tomatoes, and red onions. The Saltado consisted mainly of French fries when compared with the quantity of meat and the other vegetables. The dish was also very salty. The chef should have been aware of the different level of saltiness between brands of soy sauce and used the ingredient judiciously. Chicha Morada had a good flavor and went well with the two dishes I ordered. I would have liked the beverage a little colder in temperature but that is just my preference. Service was polite and efficient. The food came out of the kitchen fairly quickly. The restaurant can accommodate larger parties of diners in their space. Parking is plentiful in their lot but the driveway is only accessible when driving East on Foothill Boulevard. It is also easy to miss the restaurant altogether so be sure to look for the Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man to guide you.

    I order 1/4 of chicken for $10 and this is what I get

    Not worth the price. I order 1/4 of the chicken and the pollo saltado. The Pollo saltado had mostly fries and very minimal chicken. I paid literally $10 for a chicken breast.

    I was at Victoria Gardens and knew that this place was close by. I saw that they had lomo saltado ($21). They have a good parking lot size and have a good amount of seating inside. Bright inside with a large mural once you enter. They have a good variety on their menu. Other tables got mainly pollo a la brasa which is Peruvian rotisserie chicken. The wait time was not long. The lomo saltado was not too salty, the aji had a good heat to it, spicy and creamy. I got the 2 liter of chicha morada to go ($8) and it was not too sweet. The staff is nice and the place is clean.

    Food - we ordered: Ceviche mixta which was good and presentation was also good. Lomo saltado was mediocre - too much fries with a few pieces of meat; needed something to enhance the flavor! The ahi verde tasted more like a creamy mayonnaise and nothing close to "verde!" Service was good! Ambiance - a large venue and the place is nice especially with the salsa music playing in the background. We gave our suggestions to the manager. Let's hope they can improve the lomo saltado and the aji verde!

    Very delicious food. Must understand this a sit down restaurant. So you are going to wait a little bit longer for your food. But definitely worth the wait.

    Empanadas de carne, desafortunadamente fritas!!

    Tried the cau-cau, excellent!! 10/10. Ceviche: 5/10 needs improvement. The Empanadas de carne, were fried!!! Nothing to do with the Peruvian as they are baked. Awful disappointment! Food overall: 4/10. Service: 3/10 staff needs customer service skills and the ambiance is regular. 5/10. Cau-cau is the winner, try it!

    Pollos ala brase

    The pollos ala brasa was really good. And the servers were very nice. The ambiance is nice too.

    Chaufa de Mixto

    While the Ceviche de Mixto was great in portion and in serving as was the Chaufa de Mixto, the Lomo Saltado was lacking in tenderness and flavor. The ambience was ok but no one really goes here for that. Last but not least on a Saturday the service was lacking. This has to be one of your busier nights and one person doing most of the work, felt bad for him bc that's not really his fault. His partner was not pulling her weight. As such, we waited nearly 20 minutes just to order foods and drinks. With competition literally 20 minutes from here next to Haven City Market; you'd think they'd want to be too notch in taste and service as those are clearly things that can be helped asap. For mediocre Lomo Saltado and poor service unfortunately a 3 is best I can mark this place and you'll see I hardly give those away. Hoping with clear feedback management can fix what was lacking today.

    Ceviche mixto

    The food was delicious and very clean. We had the ceviche mixto and lomo saltiado . Service was good. Food is made fresh so there a wait. Would highly recommend.

    Good Peruvian food in an updated old building. The inside is large and clean. The waitstaff was friendly and we were seated quickly. The food itself was pretty good. The flavor was good, but nothing was great or amazing. The price for a pitcher of a traditional Peruvian drink was good, $8.

    Pollo saltado

    I tried several plates the rotisserie chicken was my favorite dish. Reminded me of the now closed Kiki Riki Peruvian restaurant. I love the ahi chile sauce with mayo.

    This place left me wanting more. It feels so close to fine dining and date night but the ambience just fell flat. The Good: Food. The Service: Friendly service if not a bit relaxed. Food: For most quality plates your expecting, you'll be at or over $20 per person. Most drinks and deserts seemed fair but the menu has clearly had multiple changes. But the food is worth the price. Service: friendly, helpful, bilingual. Don't know what something is or want a recommendation? Just ask. I did have to ask for refills after two missed opportunities so bit of a whiff there. Ambience: Spotless inside. Top marks for that. I wish this place had linens, I wish our server didn't have a uniform similar to albertos, I wish the silverware didn't come wrapped in a napkin. I don't mind the concrete undressed floor. The lighting and sound was solid. For the feel, I'd hope to dress up the table and staff. I also wish that if the outside tables are going to be neglected, they'd be removed. At some point they're an eye sore. And don't light up a Wacky Wavey Inflatable Arm Tube-man. Light up the awning. It's an affordable eye catching upgrade. I have to explain, they didn't lose a star because of my opinion of what I thought this place deserved to be. They lost a star for the following: Menu prices not matching charges And the fatal flaw: cleaning with fabuloso while patrons dining. What a punch in the senses. To be dining on quality food just to be OVERWHELEMED with the smell of pungent cleaning detergents. It happens all the time. Seems like a manager demands an employee be moving all the time and everything's been cleaned so they'll just go mop something. Please.... for the love of dining. Stop bringing nasally abusive detergents out while people are trying to enjoy something you've made so we'll for us. I know the Menus changed a lot and I uploaded new photos, but please make sure prices are right.

The dining area is a very clean and comfortable. Once seated, an aji verde salsa and cancha was brought to the table. The cancha is a nice touch, the corn is crispy and light. I ordered the Pollo Saltado with an extra portion of rice and a Chicha Morada. The beverage was very refreshing. The meal came out quickly. The chicken was tender and well seasoned with soy without being too salty. There was a fair amount of onions and tomatoes which were stir-fried along with the meat. The fries were freshly made with a light crispy exterior and creamy interior to soak up the saltado sauce. The aji verde salsa was on the spicy side but tasted good as an accompaniment to the dish. There was plenty of sauce from the stir fry for the extra portion of rice I ordered. I plan on ordering the Lomo Saltado next time. The staff were polite and efficient. Plenty of parking in their lot. Definitely on the list for the next time I am in the area.

They give you corn nuts and a spicy sauce on the house. We tried the yuca fries which came with a cheese sauce and it was tasty. The ceviche had a perfect lime tang to it. I've only ever had Mexican ceviche so this one was different but delicious. There was sweet potato, red onion, corn and corn nuts. For the entrees, we tried the pesto pasta with beef. The pesto was a bit heavy but the beef was SOLID. So tender and flavorful especially if you drizzle the spicy sauce they give you at the start of the meal. The other dish we tried was the lomo saltado - beef with rice and fries. Also a very good option if you prefer rice/fries over pasta.

    My friend and I came on a Wednesday afternoon to catch up…read more The ambiance was nice and we were seated right away, the server was very friendly, attentive and quick as well. The bathrooms were clean and not gender specific. We started off with fried yucca not pictured, and complimentary rolls and the green sauce they have is to die for. Spicy but full of flavor. I can't for the life of me remember what my friend got, but we finished our plates and didn't have much to take home so it was pretty delicious. I'm a fan of the lomo saltado which is steak, french fries, purple onion and tomato but I'm an even bigger fan of saltado de pescado. It wasn't on the menu (I only saw mariscos) but they were able to make it. I got a soda, with an odd request half coke half Diet Coke but they fulfilled it for me. Our check was about $63 without tip (my friend treated). This is usually my go to Peruvian place and it's right next to the newish haven food court place.

Everything we ordered melted in your mouth and was beyond flavorful, and it came out incredibly fast. We kept thinking, "How is this place not packed right now?" The service was good overall. Our servers were a little quiet and not super enthusiastic, but that's totally okay- we chalked it up to language barrier. We didn't really have any hiccups, and everyone was still really friendly. The food was definitely the highlight of our visit. The atmosphere was also really cool, with all the plants, string lights, and flags everywhere. It made the restaurant feel really warm and put you right in Peru! If you haven't tried Micas yet, I'd definitely recommend it. The food alone is worth coming back for! The menu is very extensive and has options for everyone!
