Worst service ever. I ordered through Postmates and they had my driver waiting over an hour, saying the food was going to take 30 mins to an hour even though I had ordered an hour prior. This is like the fourth time I get food from this place before quarantine and Every. Single. Time there's something wrong here but it always involves their service, ESPECIALLYtheir waitresses. Never getting food from here again even if it's the one of the only places that serves Peruvian food. Update as a response to the comment to the owner: Actually my food was placed at 4:16 and my postmates driver went to get my food at 5:06. Only reason I had to use a third party was because no one at the restaurant was answering my phone call to place my order, and I called more than three times. I don't know what kind of miscommunication this restaurant had with the orders placed through a third party, but it was not placed after 5:00. Thanks for the response by the owner but still a very bad experience as every other time. Got camarones al ajo which was cold with soggy "fried" yuca and arroz de mariscos which was salty. Taking myself elsewhere. Thanks! read more

Time of Day: Dinner I visited Saxsay for a family birthday dinner and I must say they didn't disappoint. The Chicha Morada was delicious! Good thing we order a few pitchers because I couldn't help but drink two glasses. For dinner we ordered Piqueo Marino and Arroz de Mariscos. They were both so on point. I've eaten at a bunch of Peruvian restaurants and I must say that Saxsay is SOLID. Both dishes were truly satisfying. I recommend stopping by if you're in the area or looking for good Peruvian food in general. You won't be disappointed. Pro's: Great service, decent prices, and fantastic food taste/presentation. Cons: N/A read more

This place has great Peruvian food. Placing Take out orders can be complicated. The call is placed on hold and then they forget about you. You call back and the line is busy for a few minutes. They need to improve on this not to lose customers. read more

I have been going to Saxsay for years. I've always loved their traditional Peruvian dishes, however, just the other day I went again and unfortunately my experience with their food was not the same as previous ones. The food did not taste traditional nor it had flavor. I love their chicha sour and ceviche, but the seco de carne con frejoles and anticuchos were a no go for me. Disappointing. I guess it's a hit or miss now. read more

Great for a quick & delicious lunch. It looks small on the outside but once you walk in, it's pretty big. I saw advertising for karaoke nights here (I'm sure they are fun too!). Now about the food: - I ordered for the fish with onions & tomatoes. It was pretty good, but the seasoning fell a little flat to me. When I eat Peruvian food, I expect bold flavors & this was a little muted. Not bad, just a little underwhelming compared to other Peruvian restaurants. - I had a side of black beans & rice, same review... Not bad, just a little bland. Overall, the service was fast & friendly, the food was cooked well & I'm sure the nightlife here is fun. I would love to give this place another chance, try different menu items and see if I'll add another star or two to this review. read more

We ate here today for lunch. We started with the ceviche - which was amazing! Everything was very tasty. We tried the mixed seafood ceviche which was octopus, shrimp, fish and octopus rings. We shared the churasco - skirt steak with rice, fried plantains, and fries. We got it with a side of chimichurri. Food was very tasty - but the price tag was a little high for the price. However, for the qualify, we'd pay for it again! I also enjoyed that they didn't discriminate that were not Spanish speaking! read more

This is one of my favorites Peruvian Restaurant. Today I tried the Seco de Carne, it was delicious, the beef is cooked perfectly mix with reach flavors (similar beef stew).

Off the chain insanely great food. I had the grilled octopus and it was was awesome. Service, awesome. Atmosphere was quaint, nice. Only draw back, if your party has 6+ persons, your wait will be about 45 minutes to get your food. We saw couples walking in getting similar plates and they were in after us and out before us. That sucked. The wait was worth it, but damn, 45 minutes?! They specialize in seafood entrees. I would come back with my wife and no one else. read more

Yelp! to the rescue again. This place is right next to the hotel I'm staying at, so I check out Yelp! for some recommendations. I am intrigued by the large numbers of two star and four star reviews, Yelpers either love the place or meh. When a large number of reviewers who claim ancestry and say a place is like what mom cooks, either mom is someone who I should have married, or she cooks like my mother-in-law. I walk in and I wonder if the place is open. The "OPEN" sign is lit, but there is no one around. After about five minutes, the dish washer walks out of his alcove in back and notices me, and yells into the dining room. Someone comes out and seats me. I've been reading about the Tacu Tacu Lomo Saltado. The server brings out the plate and I immediately get a whiff of the awesome aroma. There are huge chunks of beef swimming in a flavorful sauce, covered in grilled chunks of onion. I could have done without the mound of mixed rice and beans. It wasn't bad, but the meat, onions, and sauce did it for me. The server brought out a dish of hot sauce to go with it. The hot sauce is potent but goes well with the meat. This meat and sauce would make a great taco or torta. This is good stuff. You go here for the food, not the service. read more

I work near this place so I have been coming for lunch here right from when they opened. I think I have been here 6 or 7 times, and each time I tried different dishes. All one better than the other. Started with the Ceviche which was delicious and the latest dish was Seafood fried rice (chaufa). I can see the crowd also getting stronger as the restaurant ages. It has good music playing in the background and also has a good vibe to the layout. Overall I would rate as - Ambience - 5/5 (nothing much of an ambience) Food taste - 5/5!! Presentation - 5/5 Food quantity - 5/5 Service - 4.5/5 Price - 5/5 Recommended dish - Ceviche, Chicken Chaufa, Seafood Chaufa, Chicken fillet with Garlic Sauce, Breaded chicken filet. Basically anything on the lunch menu is delicious. And recommend lemonade for the drink. Light not so sweet and utterly refreshing. Also, for the heat lovers, please specifically ask for the yellow hot sauce in addition to the red hot sauce. The flavours in the yellow sauce are mind blowing!! read more

My beau and I felt like having some late lunch but we dint want to travel far so we checked with you to see what restaurants you had listed in our area that had good reviews. Saxsay came up and we decided to give it a try. The place was immaculate and since it was late afternoon it was not crowded which could be good or bad. We were immediately greeted by Angelica. We had a carafe of the chicha morada, an excellent Peruvian juice. Next I ordered the Ceviche Mixto which was fresh and delicious and plentiful. It came in a light opaque like lemony sauce. My beau ordered the Sudado de Pescado, a special fish stew! It looked just as good as it tasted. (Of course I tried it!). It had a tiny kick but nothing to make you like it less. We were stuffed so we denied the offer of desserts but believe me - we have already spoken of returning to this little spot. read more

I'm half Peruvian, and this is my favorite local place to grab some real Peruvian food. I only go for a handful of things that we don't make at home: ceviche, tacu tacu, chaufa and my favorite: pescado a la chorillana! All delicious! My fam and friends have tried a lot of the other menu items, but I'm a creature of habit and stick to a handful of things I love. Def worth a try if you're in the area. Also lotsssss of aji and rocoto if you love spicy like I do !!! read more

I was born in Peru and go back every so often, so getting authentic Peruvian food from a small place in Tamarac is not something that I was expecting at all, but I was never so happy to be wrong. The food is absolutely delicious and made with someone who knows real Peruvian food, the ingredients are fresh and authentically flavored. Their lucuma cake is one of the best desserts I've ever had in my life. read more

Im very picky with ceviche and this is the only Place that gets it right! I've tried almost everything on the menu and you can't go wrong with anything. Definitely recommend getting a couple plates and splitting it between you and your party! Hope this helps read more

Came here for lunch on a friends recommendation when I said I was craving Peruvian food. The service left much to be desired. They had just opened and we were the only people in the restaurant. It took almost 15 minutes just to get a couple waters, and a few more minutes later she came out with some corn. Not really my thing, but I munched on a few. I decided to order the beef stew. It took over 30 minutes for the food to come out after ordering. The portion that came out was massive and it came out with a side of rice. It wasn't a beef stew like I had expected, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. There were large beef chunks in a yellow bean type sauce. The food was excellent. If the beef was a little more tender that would have been ideal. Honestly the service really deters me from wanting to come back here. Maybe the waitress wasn't in a great mood that morning, but she was really cold to us. She also barely checked on us and we had empty waters til we left. If you only care about the food, however, then go if you're craving Peruvian. It's very delicious and authentic. read more

This was my third time @ Saxsay and the food was great as always. We had - fried fish with pervian salsa sauce, mixed chaufa(fried rice) and caramel flan. Fish salsa - topped with shrimp, oysters, octopus and mussels. Fish was fresh and the salsa complimented the fish very well. Arroz Chaufa - the fried rice!! Very similar to the Chinese fried rice. The flavors are really nice. The rice has a smoked flavor to it. Today it was very close to being burnt, but it wasnt bad either. The rice had a good amount of meat in it :-) Caramel flan - do yourself a favor, pls make sure you eat this when you are here. Service was average today for a change. Generally their service is pretty good. Wallet lighter by $44.00 incl tip. read more

Pleasantly surprised with this little restaurant. Between 2 people, we split an order of churrasco, and ceviche mixto. Got out of there after tip for $43. I would say the churrasco was definitely worth the bill as it came with rice and egg (what I needed), fries (unsalted but not bad), and even plantains. The ceviche was also very good. We were very full after not finishing the plantains and fries. Service was good. One thing about the atmosphere: this is in a strip that isn't very new-looking. However, this place is like super classy, with their logo frosted on the glass and everything. I mean its fine, I just think when you feel like the business is trying to be hard to be classy based on the architecture. I know the price kind of demands a nicer atmosphere, but A for effort I guess. TL;DR. Food is worth, people are nice, atmosphere is nice if you don't let the architecture bother you. read more

Great food! Not so great service. We weren't even offered water. We went in as 3 adults and 2 kids (under five years).They charged us a 15% gratuity . Whaaaat?! But honestly, the food is really delicious and the new place is much bigger to accommodate large groups. read more

This has to be one of the oddest dining experiences, From the ambiance, the service to the food. We had to ask for water. The server asked us if we wanted normal water. Then brought us to half filled glasses. My shrimp tasted burnt. The only good was the ceviche. I had high expectations for this place, but I lm crossing this off the list. read more

I loved the cocktail I was recommended. The ceviches and paella was terrific. I ordered the octopus from the starters and it was not my favorite. The purple sauce it's covered in was not good to my pallet. I did send that back. But otherwise it's a nice atmosphere. Staff was just a little bit slow. I would recommend read more

Delicious restaurant. I have only ordered food for pickup so I cannot comment on the service inside of the restaurant. But phone and pickup service is quick and efficient. The food is always packaged well and cold and hot dishes are packaged so they remain the correct temperature. And they always always follow order and packaging notes. read more

I don't know what happened to this place it use to be my favorite spot to eat Peruvian food but it has not been the same for a year. I keep telling myself I won't come back but it's so close to me and I keep hoping something will change. The taste of the food is just so off. I order tallarines verdes and I had to send it back on more than one occasion. It has no flavor. One time the green sauce was watery. I ordered a ceviche today and the fish was warm which is an automatic turn off because it doesn't feel fresh. The taste was not good and on top of that the fish was cut in such big pieces that it was difficult to chew. I asked for a knife and found it difficult to cut in half myself. I definitely need to find another Peruvian restaurant nearby. I keep getting disappointed. read more

Pleasantly surprised by the way it looks once you enter the restaurant, so much nicer than anticipated by the outside look. Spacious, with tables and booths. Service was friendly and quick. Loved their cerviche. I ordered the seafood pasta, it was a little heavy handed on the soy sauce, yet still yummy. My boyfriend ordered the steak which he devoured. Didn't order any dessert but they looked incredible going to the near by tables. Looking forward to returning one day soon. read more

This place was recommended by a friend, and it was a complete DISAPPOINTMENT!!! I placed my order for pickup about 45 mins in advance, person on the phone told me it would be ready in 30 mins. I get to this place and they had forgotten to make my order , I chose to wait and asked to speak to a manager, never did he once apologize. He continues to tell me you didn't even have to wait that long, I just proceeded to pay cause I couldn't take the aggravation! And also they are big hygiene and COVID violators, some of their employees were not wearing a mask and they do not wear gloves to prepare their food . read more

If I could give less than one star I would. Who in earth argues with the customer? We came for lunch and ordered their steak chaufa lunch special $9.99, it only had one sliver of steak in the heap of friend rice. then when I told the waitress she said I will bring you the chef who began to argue with us saying he made it himself. You are better off going to La Brasa for a far better menu selection, attention, and prices. Although this place is "pretty sit down service not cafeteria style" it severely lacks customer service. The food was sub par for its prices. read more

I've been here several times and finally got around to review it. Food is amazing! The guy and the woman who sing and play instruments on the weekend are super talented. They need to really appreciate the fact that such talent works with them. There is no hostess which bothers me as soon as you walk in the cooks look at you and you have to wait. Other than.. that the restaurant is decorated very nice and the waitresses and busboy are amazing. They make you feel at home. The food is legit. Overall best I've had in south Florida. read more
