I had a really nice experience at Se Llama Perú. The food felt authentic and full of flavor, and I loved getting to try some traditional Peruvian dishes. The ceviche was fresh and well-seasoned, and the lomo saltado was definitely one of my favorites. I also really enjoyed the pollo a la brasa, which was tender and flavorful. The service was friendly and attentive, and the staff made us feel very welcome throughout the meal. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a nice family feel that made the experience even better. It's a great place to enjoy Peruvian food with family or friends, and I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu :) read more

I am not one to leave reviews, but I'm sharing this so others know to check their receipts. A few months ago my husband and I ate here and when it came time to pay, the waiter processed our payment at the counter, but never told us the total or asked how much we'd like to tip. My husband and I thought it was odd at the time, but didn't think anything of it. Later when we checked our credit card statement we saw that the waiter had entered her own tip without our consent. The charge felt completely deceptive. This has never happened to me anywhere else, and it is completely unacceptable and has really stuck with me. Never going to this restaurant ever again! read more

Manager or owner (Sam) please do better hiring people at your restaurant. We just had the WORST customer service EVER. The place was empty and we didn't even get greeted which was our first red flag, then the lady didn't even offer us ice water till 10-15min later. No refills of water, didn't even ask how the food was, no customer service at all. Sorry to say that I won't go back because of the experience even though the food was decent. A little pricey comparing to places I've gone to in Los Angeles. read more

Lomo and Pollo Saltado were 10/10. I served my mission in Peru and both of these dishes are authentic and bring me right back to Peru.

5 star place ten out of ten love the food the it's perfect we could watch the World Cup aswell it's perfect great service

the lomo saltado is to die for! i've had many lomos in peru but none compare. The service was excellent, they are very welcoming and polite. The atmosphere was good and had a cute authentic vibe. i highly recommend this place! read more

Great food and plenty of it. Well priced. They had live entertainment tonight. Authentic!

It's a small little restaurant within 8-10 minutes walking distance from the Utah Valley Convention Center. Our group of 6 people went there for lunch. I ordered the Limo Mixto with steak & shrimp. It was tasty but i wish it had little bit more sauce...felt kinda dry. The reason I'm giving it 4 stars is because the service was super slow! I mean the lady was friendly and nice, but it took them almost 1 hour from taking our orders till the foods came out. And even after sitting at the table that long, she never brought the utensils and napkins to our table. But even so, I'm looking forward taking my family there soon. ^_^ read more

I love lomo saltado. And their lomo saltado dish here was such a winner! So incredibly flavorful and delicious. I practically licked the plate clean. The owner came and chatted with us and was so sweet. The service was fast. Go! Get the lomo saltado! You won't be disappointed. The lomo montado was also so so good! It was a beautiful presentation. The fried plantain was scrumptious. read more

I went here a while ago and there weren't a ton of people in the restaurant. The family who owns the location speaks Spanish and it is truly an immersive experience. The service was quick and the owner even came out to talk to us. The food. So the food is why you come and I will say it is amazing. Of all the places I have been this is one of the most authentic restaurants I have been to in Utah valley. Even down to the rice the food tastes exactly the same as if you stepped into Miami or even Peru and had a Peruvian family make you one of their favorite dishes. It's delicious and leaves you wanting to come back :) read more

I loved everything about Se Llama Peru! The food is incredibly delicious. Both dishes were warm, flavorful, and prepared well. Chaufa is like Peru's version of friend rice and Saltado is steak served over fries. What's not to love?! It was the perfect lunch on a cold day. The service was great, too. We were seated immediately, got our food relatively quickly, and the waiter checked on us multiple times. No complaints there! I'll admit, the ambiance isn't the most exciting part of Se Llama Peru. A little more rustic and charming--perfect hole-in-the-wall vibes. You might be tempted to walk past their door and into a more modern restaurant, but you'd be missing out. The food was so good I was sad we didn't have any leftovers. read more

Quite possibly the best Lomo Saltado I've pounded in Utah. If not the best, definitely top 3. The chef came out of the kitchen to talk to me about my dining experience. So, if you're still reading, go to Se Llama Peru. Like, now. read more

Amazing food and amazing atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. I've been here multiple times and I'm impressed each time.

Food was really good. It took a while for our food to come out and they were out of a few things. Kind server.

This is the best lomo saltado, I've had. Workers and owner are very kind, and the place smells so good I don't want to ever leave 10/10 truly read more

Loved this place! We went for my daughter's birthday dinner (her choice). I wasn't sure what to expect with Peruvian food, but we all loved it. I had Lomo Saltado with shrimp. My husband had linguine with pesto and steak. Other had chicken and steak dishes. We all were so happy. Service was great. We'll be back!!! read more

the lomo estuvo buenazo to say the least. The portions are really big as well. Highly recommend!

Fun little Peruvian place on Center Street! My friend loves Peruvian food and she said it's pretty authentic here. I ordered the Lomo Saltado de Pollo, and I would recommend it. I will say, my first few bites took some getting used to... It was a new flavor for me, but then I couldn't stop eating it after I convinced myself that I was full and needed to stop! The regular Lomo Saltado with steak was also good. This isn't the kind of place that I'll want to come back to all the time, but it's definitely worth giving a try! read more

The food is delicious! The owner/chef showed us his skills by accommodating my vegetarian girlfriend with a papa reñena vegitarian style :) Thank you again! read more

Food was delicious! Definitely the most flavorful Peruvian restaurant I've had. I got the Lomo Saltado and my husband got the arroz chaufa and both dishes were excellent. The only reason I am leaving 4 stars is because service was slow. It took a while for the waitress to take our order and another long while before the food came to the table. Not sure if they were short staffed that day or what, but I can get over that for how good the food was. read more

I had great expectations of this cute restaurant but nothing was remarkeable and some appetizers were really bad. We left the yuca app and a baked potato filled with meat and veggies because first they looked like frozen and put in hot oil too fast; second, the oil tasted like fish. Really bad. My roasted chicken was ok but the fried were cold and the salad in the combo was old. My boyfriend got some perfectly forgettable dish. Service was just ok. Pick the order, serve and go. No asking if we need anything (what about some salsas or some more drinks?). Nothing. And we were the only customers. The server and the girl at the register kept talking all the time among themselves. read more

This is one of my new favorite restaurants. The lomo saltado is amazing! And the crema volteada is stunning. The owner and chef, Luis, made sure to speak with my husband and me and welcome us to his restaurant. I will definitely be going again soon! read more

They were open on Memorial Day and not very crowded at 4 pm. It was very off putting to walk in, and there were old French fries, and used forks and napkins all over the restaurant floor .. Gross The background music was too loud and very odd songs. The service was very inattentive. We ordered Loma Saltado and Fish ceviche and both were excellent the food is a five the restaurant cleanliness and service is a 2 read more

Me encanta este restaurante! This place is so good. I lived in South America for two years and can confirm that this is an authentic Peruvian experience. If you're trying it for the first time, I would recommend the lomo saltado! It is amazing! You can't go wrong read more

Extremely slow & poor service. Waitress was too busy flirting with a guest to greet us/get an order. Heard the microwave door open/close and timer go off constantly in the kitchen. The steak in my dish was tough/over cooked and looked unappetizing. Food was rather bland for Peruvian food. The waitress or kitchen staff wasn't wearing masks. No signs or notices about how they're operating during COVID. No mask requirements or 6ft distance enforced. Definitely would skip this place if you could. read more

Going in, I honestly thought this would be a three or four star review but we had an excellent experience. None of us were experienced with Peruvian food but my sister had gotten a mission call for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and we wanted to try food from the areas where she would be serving. We went in with a big group of ten, we all got something different and we all enjoyed our food. The best part of the experience was the amazing service. Luis taught my sister Spanish words, talked about the culture and regions of Peru, and even gave us free Inca cola and alfajores so she could have a complete experience. I found a lot of the food a little heavy for my taste buds but it was flavorful, balanced, and everyone left satisfied. The experience left me feeling like I went back to a time of old school, community-based service. read more

Very tasty and filling. Pricey for what it is, but I suppose that's due to having a prime location. read more

Before I get too far into this review, I have to say that I think I ordered the wrong thing--which in turn is resulting in this 3 star review. This place is pretty cute! Fun little stop on Center Street. The atmosphere is fun and the service was very kind and helpful. It was a fun place to get together and celebrate with friends. I ordered the Pollo Cuarto a la Brasa. It was pretty underwhelming. I mean it was yummy, but nothing worth writing home about. It tastes exactly how you would imagine a rotisserie chicken to taste. A few other people at my table ordered the Lomo Saltado and I so badly wish I would have gotten that instead! If that is what I had ordered, this place would have easily earned 4 stars from me. It was super tasty and felt more authentic Peruvian to me. Overall we had a fun experience. I wasn't blown away by my food, but would recommend you give this place a try if you are on the hunt for a fun Peruvian experience. read more

Very authentic tasting Peruvian food. I've only been two three other Peruvian restaurants in California and I was surprised to find this one in Utah. The portion size is smaller and more expensive than the ones in California but the quality of the food and service is great. I ordered the lomo saltado, it wasn't too oily and the rice was prepared to expectations. It was a bit salty for me but I have a low sodium tolerance. Other than that the fried yuca was also good! Their menu options are similar to other Peruvian restaurants I have been to so there's definitely something for everyone. The owner, who I believe is also the cook came to talk to my party and I about the food. He was very humble and welcoming. I enjoyed talking to him and his attitude and love for Peruvian food shines through. Would definitely return to this restaurant if I am ever in the city again! read more

Stopped by a few weeks ago for lomo saltado on friends' recommendations. The food was good, the environment is decidedly less classy. Wasn't a home run but I'd definitely go back. read more

Lomo Saltado was so good! It came with rice and fries and the seasoning was perfect. I thought I might eat half of the plate but it was so good that I ate the WHOLE thing, I even ate all the fries! Their desserts are not always available and they sold out fast, better to call before I go to get Alfajor. read more

super yummy authentic Peruvian food, the servers are so nice and welcoming as well. I had the lomo saltado-so delicious

Delicious food and Luis is a great host. We tried a few dishes and Luis made a special one upon our request.

Went to Se Llama Peru last week during my visit to Provo. UT has good south american res. This was a really nice suprise. was bit pricy but the food was excellent. the owner was really nice. he came up to us after we all finished the lunch,checking whether we liked the food and etc. I will definately go back there in my next trip to provo. read more

The quality of the food really surprised me. I felt like my meal could have easily cost twice as much elsewhere. The atmosphere of the restaurant could use some spiffing up. The decor is on the sparse side of what you would see at any hole-in-the-wall South American restaurant (travel posters of Peru, spanish soaps on the TV, etc). The restaurant did not seem at all dirty though, and while a face lift might help polish the experience up, Se Llama Peru has already nailed the most important part of a dining experience, great food. read more

A week ago I finally got the chance to check out this restaurant, and ordered Lomo Saltado a dish a lot of the reviewers are talking about, and I was not disappointed. It was a simple dish, but the steak strips were seasoned nicely and seared medium rare, the other ingredients were fresh, and the sauce was savory and just delicious. The owner/chef came out to greet all the customers, after talking to him he, gave me a small sample of the ceviche, which was very good too. Everything I tried at Se Llama Peru were great, I will definitely come back again. read more

Se Llama Perú makes me feel at home. The food is fantastic and the atmosphere is so laid back. Staff is always enthusiastic to talk to you and it feels like family. I go out of my way to visit every time that I am in Provo. I have tried nearly everything on the menu and have yet to be disappointed. Definitely recommend the Lomo Saltado for first time visitors. For those who love Peruvian food, don't miss out on the ceviche. And if you bring young kids or picky eaters, treat them to the salchipapas or pollo a la brasa. read more

Meh. I don't really like it. The food isn't my favorite kind of food to begin with, but I was hoping to find something on the menu that I would like, but I didn't. I've never been to Peru or had really authentic Peruvian food, so I wouldn't be a good judge of whether this food is like the real thing in Peru! Some people really like it. It may just depend on your taste in food. read more
