I had been here once before and it was recommended by one of my old coworkers who is from Peru. She said this place is as authentic as it gets and I'm happy to report it is fantastic! The place is clean and the workers are very nice and patient when answering questions. This time around, I got the special: Arroz c/Pollo Y Papa Huancaina and my guy got the Chicharron sammich. I had them put the papa huancaina on the side because I wasn't sure if I would like it, but man was I proven wrong. It was delicious! Everything we got was delicious, honestly! I couldn't get enough of my chicken dish and didn't want to share it with my guy. His sammich was also very tasty and the pork was soo juicy. We ended up taking some dessert to go as well: Budin (bread pudding) and Chocolate Cake. The chocolate cake was a bit dry, but not sweet, which I liked. The bread pudding was freshly made and packed and we had to get it. I have never liked bread pudding in my life, but I thoroughly enjoyed this. That should tell you something. If you get the chance to come here, don't miss the chance! You won't regret it.
Stopped in this evening to try the Chicharron Sandwich! I had one last month while I was in Lima, Peru and needed to find one here. So happy to find Sangucheria Peruvian Street food!!! I ordered the Chicharron Sandwich and a chicken empanada. Both were delicious. The sandwich was full of Chicharron and the flavors were excellent! I wanted a little more red onion. The only thing I would change is to cut the Chicharron a little thicker. The empanada was stuffed with chicken and had a nice smoky flavor. I really enjoyed the food and will definitely come back to try the sandwich during lunch! I never got the chance to order Lucuma icecream while in Peru so luckily they had it here. We debated the taste but settled on butter scotch, butter pecan?! It was just ok. And the painted wall reminded us of the textiles we saw everywhere in Peru. Very cool!! Gracias and we will be back!!!
Very cute family owned Peruvian sandwich spot, the workers are so friendly and it has a very homie vibe. I got a chicharron sandwich and it was pretty big. The meat was good and the sweet potato in it was unique! Never had sweet potato in a sandwich. It looked like they also have a section for coffee.
Paid by card. Sangucheria Peruvian Street Food is located in a plaza and offers a lot of plaza parking. I went here on a weekday evening after trying a class at the nearby gym, and was able to be helped right away since there was no other customers. (I went close to closing) The male owner/cashier was so welcoming and so kind! He was so awesome to talk to while I ordered and throughout my meal. I ordered one of every empanada, chicharron sandwich, and red Kola. Everything was amazing!! I would definitely recommend this place and would go back. Very cute shop!
I picked up a sandwich before heading home, not my first time here, I've tried almost all their sandwiches already and I must say I like their chicharron sandwich the most. Their Chicharron have braised Pork, onions, fried sweet potatoes, and their homemade sauce. This sandwich is good but kinda noticed on my recent visit I tasted more potatoes than the Meats, Anyways, it's still good and very heavy to eat. It really filled me up well but I hope next time they take it easy on the potatoes so the chicharron stand out more. Friendly staff and owner. I could see the staff preparing the orders from a small window in their kitchen while im ordering, they were nice to spend time to say hello despite how busy they were in preparing the orders. The place is always clean, Parking is plenty around.
After weeks of telling myself to come, I finally stopped by Sangucheria PSF to grab lunch this week, and WHERE has this been all my life??? (in my SD yelp collection, where it has been for 6 months LOL). Located in a shopping plaza, there is plenty of parking. I came right at opening and there were a few other people going to town on their sandwiches already. The shop has a respectable number of tables and is more spacious than the window display, overcrowded by the liquor store next door, would have you believe. The man at the register was so nice! When he found out it was my first time here, he literally walked me through their whole menu. I opted for the chicharron sandwich, their most popular one, and a chicken empanada. The food came out super fast and the bag that the nice woman from the kitchen handed me was STEAMING hot. First and foremost, I want to bathe in their green sauce. Featuring strong notes of cilantro and pepper, it was absolutely delicious. Their orange sauce was delicious as well. A tad runnier and less spicy. I'm honestly not sure what was in it, but it tasted a bit creamy. The chicken empanada was absolutely fantastic. Piping hot with a delicate crust, the filling was addictive. So soft and well seasoned, and stuffed full of chicken. I could eat 5 of these! Next up the chicharron sandwich. This was a MONSTER of a sandwich, featuring sausage, pork, pickled onion, and yam, served on a sweet, soft, slightly eggy bread. I was pleasantly surprised by the bread. I am used to a hard-crust bread such as that which is used with banh mi, but this softer bread let the crispy onions and hearty filling shine. It was also easier to eat because the toppings didn't slide around, as they were lovingly enveloped by the soft, pillowy bread. The soft yam gave the bread a bit more support, and the sweetness there was great as well. I absolutely drowned my sandwich in the two provided sauces, and savored every bite. I only intended to eat half the sandwich and save the rest for later, but because of the oils and the soft bread, just ate the whole thing because I am not sure if it would last. I was too full to eat for the rest of the day, and for $13 that is honestly great bang for your buck given the quality of the ingredients. It is a bit too rich for me to eat regularly, but it is undoubtedly a delicious sandwich, marvelously executed. I will definitely come back to try their beef empanada, and continue to demolish their delicious chicken empanada with the green sauce as well.
I've been coming to this restaurant for the last few years. The gentlemen in the front is always so welcoming and pleasant. I had never had Peruvian food before visiting Sangucheria the first time. I had ordered the choipapa. I love a good sausage and liked that it came with fries. To be honest the fries are okay, nothing that blows me away, but the chorizo is fantastic. I also love that they give you an array of sauces to try. I recently tried the choripan sandwich and WOW, I am so surprised. The bread was flaky and soft, the chorizo was spiced flavorful, it tasted like a homemade mayo and then the best chimichurri I have ever had. It was garlicky and spicy and just amazing. All the elements of this sandwich worked so well together. I am really not a sandwich person, but I could eat this once a week for the rest of my life and not be tired of it. I also tried the Yucca fries and they were great. It's a nice alternative to regular fries and they were great dipped in the peruvian chili sauce. That sauce is perfect on everything. The service is always great. I love supporting a fantastic family owned shop as much as possible. This is a great spot to stop in and support.
Small family owned restaurant, that still cooks with love. One of my favorite places to get a quality sandwich that taste better with every bite. The whole menu is good. But my favorite is the sandwiches.
Always is a pleasure come here and enjoy the specials on the weekends, also the pan con chicharron is so good
Fantastic Peruvian sandwiches on soft fresh bread rolls, served with spicy sauce options. Beer on tap and delicious desserts to top off the meal. Friendly and helpful service, clean place, and plenty of parking. An all-around winner!
3.5 stars Came to this small Peruvian sandwich shop after work on a week night. I got the chicharron sandwich fries and lucuma ice cream. The sandwich came with braised pork, yams and pickled onions. The pork was tasty and flavorful. The yams were tender added a slight sweetness and texture. The pickled onions added a nice crunchy texture which was a nice contrast to the tender yams. The bread was light and crisp. It was a good sandwich but I think if they used a smaller bread it would highlight the pork a little more. The sandwich came with 2 sauces which were delicious, I liked the spicy green one. It added a nice heat and flavor. The fries were good but nothing special I wish I tried the house made chips. I'll surely get those next time. After my meal I ordered the Lucuma ice cream. Lucuma is a creamy fruit that has flavors of caramel and custard. The ice cream was a premade Helados product. It was frozen solid so I couldn't eat it there, I had to let it defrost on the way home. It was tasty and had a caramel and almost coffee flavor. I liked the flavor but it was a bit icy from being in a sub zero freezer. I'd suggest it if you've never had Lucuma. There's menus on the back wall behind the counter but not all the items are listed, be sure to look in the case for other items, causa and flan were not listed. Also many of the specials were listed but no description was given of what they were. So unless you know what they are you'd never order them. Maybe list them separately as a meal, appetizer or dessert with a brief description. Service was friendly, they are located off of Santo road in the old Island Style Cafe location. There's lots of parking in the lot that they share with the other businesses.
Cute little fast casual mom and pop shop! The staff member working the counter when I came by (seemed like the owner?) was friendly and explained the menu since it was my first time. CHICHARRON SANDWICH: I ordered this since I wanted to try their most popular item (per Yelp as well as the owner). The meat was juicy and delicious and I loved the sauces! Perfect serving size. EMPANADAS: I ordered one beef and one cheese empanada to go to try later at home. They have some empanadas on display at the counter, but these models aren't representative of the actual empanadas which are way bigger. If you wanted to, you could probably just order 3-4 empanadas as a meal. The cheese empanada was pretty dense, I think I much preferred the beef one. Overall, great place to grab a quick bite to eat. I'll need to come by to try the rest of their menu!

Yumm! Recently I purchased one of their weekend special dishes- the Lomo Saltado. Every bite was tender, the flavors were perfect. I've only tried their sandwiches once, but will definitely be going back for their weekend special next time they have it. I highly recommend they add Lomo Saltado to their regular menu. Delicious! read more

This Peruvian sandwich place is a delicious find in north Tierrasanta by the liquor store. We had the Abado (roast beef) sandwich, tasted the beef and chicken empanadas , and the yucca fries. The owner graciously let us know what the menu is via QRS code, and our friend Yvette said her son made a video review of the restaurant. The bakery windows have cookies, flan, and other goodies. I'll try the beef skewers next visit. Owner was friendly and the server from the kitchen was his wife, I think. Roast beef was sliced, moist; bread soft. The two sauces are a green peppery (spicy) one that my husband loved. The peach cream colored one is less spicy and enhanced the flavor of the beef. They served a small container of chimichurri like condiment with the beef empanada along with a line slice. The chicken empanada had pulled chicken filling. Yucca fries were thick and the right crispiness, also served with the peach cream colored condiment. They have a soda fountain, iced water, and beer for cold drinks and also served espresso, latte, and a double espresso. I was delighted to finally try it! It's clean- a nice place to bring a friend or family. Tables are mainly four tops with around 8 tables. An affordable yummy lunch or dinner. The prices have gone slightly up since they opened. The menu photos are from a year ago. read more

Giving this my Peruvian stamp. Probably the best Peruvian sandwich I've had in the States. It reminded me of the sandwiches in my dad's hometown in Ica, Peru. Juice is amazing! I got the fresas con crema and it was like a milkshake. Service was amazing and it's a small place. If you plan to bring 4+, go early! read more

Recently moved into the area and was happy to see a place with Peruvian food. I saw the weekend special was Lomo saltado; whenever I find a Peruvian restaurant I always try the Lomo saltado. I ordered takeout and only waited a few minutes for my order. Both the empanada and Lomo saltado were amazing; they were both seasoned well and freshly made. I need to go back! read more
I thought the beef empanada was delicious!! The sandwich was good but its not something I would reach for again. The guy at the register explained the menu to me which was great. He was really welcoming! There is a bathroom for customers but you gotta walk through the doors and near the kitchen -- there are signs at every turn to guide you read more
