Honestly, the food was just okay. I had pretty high expectations for this Peruvian restaurant…read morebecause it was highly recommended to me, but unfortunately, none of the dishes I tried really stood out. Everything was lacking in flavor, and I don't feel like this was a great representation of the authentic flavors of Peru. I ordered the Causa Rellena, Lomo Saltado a la Pobre, Arroz Chaufa, and Ají de Gallina. While none of the dishes were necessarily bad, they were all pretty underwhelming and didn't have the depth of flavor I was expecting. My other complaint was the service. It was fairly slow, and we weren't offered refills or asked if we wanted any additional drinks throughout the meal. Overall, I really wanted to enjoy this place, but unfortunately, the food and service didn't live up to my expectations.

Peruvian cuisine in the Home Style: The owner is our chef tonight, Chef Gladys…read more These roasted kernels of (not corn) but something similar. like a cross between spanish peanuts and roasted corn. Yum, and free. Stained concrete floors. At first blush, common walk-in diner style seating, small and deli atmosphere, but, like a good chile it slowly creeps up on you. Little touches, like the posters that let you dream into Lima, wall adornments that feature rich carving, stitched alpaca rug... The chairs are surprisingly high quality wood backed diner's chairs, solid and all impeccably clean. Walls dripping with decorations, wall papers, Peruvian flags, woodcraft and some "tacky" decoration tinsel curtains from Valentines Day (probably on clearance at Party City), cleanly painted and bright walls. But, my wife, having been to Peru on a few mission trips verified, "this is Peru!". So, full marks on authenticity, atmospheric flavor, and the dishes she couldn't wait to dig into State-side. Lomo Saltado: Rich soft medallions of beef, with large sautéed red onion slices and herbs resting in the pan sauce with a pyramid of white rice and a pile of timber plank style potato fries. Both my wife and daughter order this. And it looks like we are homeless, because they both clean the plates so thoroughly, they might be mistaken for clean dishes when Jasmine returns them to the kitchen. I choose the Alitas Inka Brasas, but don't be dismayed by the fancy name, this is simply 6 buffalo wings with French Fries, see pic. But it feels festive to call it something foreign. They are delicious by the way, and the sauce has a good punch. You know when a pizza joint tries to offer chicken wings and they are the absolute worst things that exist in the fast food world...these are nothing like that! Jasmine brought us some green sauce that is Jalapeño verde and some red that is a native Peruvian Rocoto pepper blend that brings just enough heat to add it to every bite of french fry. different and fun. Videos running on several monitors are actually full of the owner cooking the dishes in the menu!! How cool and original is that!?! Loo Review: This is a little Best for Last bit, aside from the wonderful food...This bathroom is so nice! I did not see this coming...OK, it's not the most extravagant materials, but it looks like they gave Martha Stewart a small budget and said "do your best!" It looks like something out of the Hamptons or a resort in Lima. Bright crisp, cozy and calm...yeah, all of those, and it works. On theme with the color palate from the dining area, but so cozy and utterly free of the Latin party feel the main room emits. I really enjoyed this place and rank it in the top tier of themed loos I have ever reviewed. A bit pricey, but truly original and authentic to its claims, and all personally chef inspired. Definitely worth the visit and the experience! Thanks Gladys and Jasmine!

The beef empanadas were delicious and the addition of a light sprinkling of powdered sugar was inspired. Added a whole other profile to the fried goodness. The causa was a new item for me. Think tuna salad and mashed potato casserole served cold, but as a light and refreshing dish, with some crema on top. This would be a perfect dish for any backyard mixer or bbq. The plantains were perfectly fried, soft and sweet and savory and crispy.

Why 4 stars? Because this was a solid rendition of lomo saltado…read more --- --- --- I fell in love with lomo saltado while living in Tampa for the last 15 years, where I felt like we had a pretty decent contingent of Peruvian restaurants. When I found this food truck on Yelp with a perfect 5-star average, I knew I wanted to get here soon. After several weekends in a row of not making my way over, I finally got a chance to experience it. The verdict: it definitely hit the spot, but I do think I've had a bit better. The meat was seasoned well and the flavors were on point, but I think the super thick cut fries is what I didn't love. They were a bit much - I'd prefer a more standard size fry as the thick ones are a bit dry in the middle. But I definitely want to come back and try the paella sometime and will be sure to do so!

I don't use Uber Eats very often, but it saved me on this day. The Lomo Bowl arrived about 40 minutes after I pressed the order button and it was just as hot and fresh as it would have been if I'd been dining it. I gobbled it all right up and was quite satisfied with my decision. I also ordered the 5 Leches Cake, and it was probably about 3 leches too many for this lactose intolerant fella, but I did enjoy the taste of it. Ideally, this would have been something I split with someone though - it's really rich. I will happily check out Mr Chicken in person next time and am glad this is not too far from us!

The address is correct, it's next to Tacos Del Julio) The service was top notch, the food was delicious, and at a great price. Their sauces are really good too. We went for the inka cola 2L (love they had that option). They only have cans for drinks no refills here. But try the inka or Chicha. We got the whole chicken combo 2 for a family of 3. It was a good portion. The place is also nicely decorated and big. They have live music on the weekends. A little stage in the corner. The booth we sat in was a little uncomfortable it was missing more cushion could feel the wooden boards. But the other booths looked to be fine. The owner came out to talk to us and check how everything was. Great service and they truly seem to care and take pride in their food. 1000% recommend this place!

But what really caught my eye was the ceviche they had available. The service was good, she showed us the difference between the Ecuadorian and Peruvian ceviche that we were interested in trying. Both were seasoned very well, but my friend's Peruvian ceviche was definitely the headlining item for her. It was actually her first time having ceviche with fish, and I think it was a pretty good introduction. We also got a very generous portion, which I always appreciate when trying something new that I end to enjoying. All in all, we really enjoyed the ceviche and would definitely return to Andes Café to try some of the other items on the menu. But for sure, the ceviche will be making a repeat appearance on our next visit.
