Arroz con Pato
George G.

This was my second visit in the past month, and while I was pleased with the service, food, and ambiance overall, there were several issues each time. One of my guests ordered the Peruvian paella and was disappointed to find that, despite the menu listing octopus, none was included. When we brought this to the attention of the staff and owner, they did bring out a separate bowl of octopus, which we appreciated. My wife was unhappy with her Lomo Saltado during this visit noting that it was too salty and served at a lukewarm temperature. The ceviche was just okay, and the Pisco Sour was also average. My guests were happy with the Aji de Gallina and I was pleased with my dish, arroz con pato. Considering the higher price point, I would expect better consistency and higher quality across the dishes. Additionally, they had run out of both Pollo a la Brasa and Picarones. It took about 20 minutes for them to inform us that the Picarones were unavailable. They had also run out of Negra Modelo, although they did obtain more later. This gesture was appreciated. Overall, while there were still positive aspects, the experience did not fully meet expectations for the price.

Lomo Saltado
Michael T.

We came mid afternoon, it took a few minutes to get seated. Juan, our server was awesome, attentive and professional. We had a great steak starter to share and my wife had aji de gallina and I had Lomo Saltado. Both were excellent but the steak starter was a little salty. The seating was comfortable and the place is big but cozy. Nice place and we will certainly be back. We both had lunch sized portions but as you can see they're both a full meal. Lovely place

Excited for Anticucho!
Trevor C.

Peruvian food here is absolutely amazing! I especially love their Anticucho--it's hard to find in Tucson, and they cook it to perfection. The restaurant also has live music, wonderful friendly staff, and excellent service. The atmosphere is beautiful and vibrant, making it a must-visit spot for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Peruvian cuisine and a great dining experience.

We went to the bar and we had an appetizer and pisco sours. Drinks are delicious. Great service and atmosphere.

Peruvian Lobster Roll
Melissa S.

Went to Villa Peru during the Lobster Festival. When you first pull up they have plenty of parking in a shopping strip next to several other restaurants. They have bar seating, indoor tables, a large private party room, and outdoor patio seating. I have to give this restaurant 2 stars primarily for the food and service. Overall, the prices were high and the food/service was just average. The server never once asked about drink refills. The lobster roll did not actually include much lobster and the molten lava cake dessert was disappointing. There was no molten chocolate whatsoever and it more like a microwave chocolate sponge cake. Pisco sour is normally one of the my favorite cocktails and even that was mediocre. Lastly, the entree dinnerware was chipped as pictured, which is a safety concern.

Our server Jessie was amazing! So kind, attentive and funny! The food was delicious! My steak was cooked to perfection which most restaurants struggle with. He also brought out a dessert for my birthday and made the night feel extra special. We will definitely be back.

Trio of ceviche

Five stars to everything; the ambience, food and service. Our first experience with Peruvian food and Juan was very helpful in his recommendations and knowledge of the cuisine. Going back tonight!

I came here for dinner in April and then again last night. In April, I tried the Tequeños de Queso--tasty, but a bit too fried for me, so I could only eat one. I believe we ordered the Causa Acevichada and loved it. The sea bass was good, and the Churrasco a lo Pobre cooked medium rare was really flavorful. The sangria, unfortunately, was not good. I also tried the pisco sour flight and requested no ginger, so they substituted the Ambassador. The Ambassador was just okay--still pretty bitter. I really enjoyed the strawberry flavor, and the rosemary was pretty good. The spicy one was tasty but very spicy. Last night, I ordered the sea bass again, but it was very fishy this time. Thankfully, they kindly substituted it for the Tacu Tacu. The rice in that dish was a bit salty, but overall still enjoyable. The beef in both the Tacu Tacu and the Lomo Saltado was well done--next time I'll ask if they can cook it medium rare. The Tiradito ceviche was really good, and I loved the strawberry pisco again. The rosemary was decent, and I also really liked the cabernet we ordered--I believe it may have been from Argentina.

Menu

My new favorite date night destination.Went for their ceviche fest and glad I finally made it in. Ceviche was delicious and very refreshing. Service was exceptional and you could see they worked as a team. Everyone we encountered were well trained and knowledgeable. It was a very enjoyable experience and we will be back to try other menu items. We let our server guide us with suggestions and was pleased with what we ordered.

The food here is excellent and I didn't try the ceviche this time. It's supposed to be one of the best ceviche restaurants in the US. They had so many different ones and it's Oyster Fest, so they had ceviche with oysters. The place is really cool with the bar in the back. A heads up, the front door is very large. The service was good. We did get hit with a 20% tip for a large party. Definitely eat here.

Perfect wine pairing with the lamb
Dorothy G.

We started with the ceviche Trio which was absolutely amazing. I would highly recommend the villa Peru ceviche... During Ceviche Festival, which occurs one week a month, they have a large variety of ceviche. With the trio you get to pick three kinds.. I really enjoyed all of ours which were recommended by our amazing bartender and server Asia. I also thought my braised lamb shank was next level. The sauce was almost like a mole , but different . It had a very unique and delightful flavor profile. The only reason I did not give five stars was because the fish dish that we had was very dry and lacked flavor or spice. I really enjoyed the atmosphere. It is very cozy , warm and inviting and I will definitely be back.

Lomo Saltado Entre
Yelena R.

Beautiful restaurant. The food is amazing and we tried a variety of dishes since there were 4 of us in a party. Ceviche ají verde is a very flavorful starter. And we topped it off with a beautiful molten lava cake. Service is a bit slow. Even though we went there on a Tuesday night it was pretty busy. I think reservations are pretty much a must.

Lomo Saltado
Caron M.

This was my first time in the new expanded space. It's really lovely, but on a Saturday night just before a holiday, also very loud. The service wasn't quite as good as usual, but I'd chalk that up to being there at the same time as two 12-15 person parties vs anything more serious. Cocktails were great as always. I didn't have an appetizer this time, but my dining companion was very impressed with the Tequenos de Queso. I was about to order ceviche for dinner, when a server brought a gorgeous rice dish topped with seafood to a nearby table. I asked about it- while in the menu it's described as a Chinese style fried rice, it was really more of a paella. It didn't disappoint as my entree- it was amazing, and the seafood very tender. For dessert I went with my staple flan and it was delicious as always.

See all

The food was incredible! We wanted to eat light, so we ordered to share a dish they are renowned for, Lomo Soltado, & Douglas, who was behind the bar & also waiting done tables on this extremely busy night, suggested adding shrimp to the beef, and it was phenomenal! We asked for a recommendation for another shareable & he highly recommended the Causa Rellena de Camaron--delicious! Sort of a whipped potato stuffed with beef then fried. Very fun! We loved the Pisco Sours, and husband enjoyed a glass of wine with the meal. They had live music outside, which was why we picked the bar, but to our delight it was beautiful soft Peruvian traditional music, which we really enjoyed. Very friendly attentive staff, cute inside & great food! We thought they didn't take reservations, but apparently they do--you may have to call them on the phone though. We didn't see them on open Table or Resy.

We started with the Chica Mirada to drink which I loved since it wasn't too sweet. I would never have guessed it was made with corn. For entrees we had the Seco de Carne and Lomo Saltado. Both dishes were very flavorful and the beef was so tender. I enjoyed the light but flavorful sauces on both dishes. The prices are extremely high for the small portion sizes. The service was excellent. The whole Diners, Drive Ins and Dive advertising is a little obnoxious. It's on the front of the menu, on a huge sign on the window, and the episode the restaurant was on plays over and over on one of the TVs. You should be known for having amazing food and service, not for being on a silly tv show. (Has anyone ever heard Guy say something tasted bad in a single episode? I haven't.)

The seafood paella is a true highlight--rich, aromatic, and packed with perfectly cooked seafood that brings depth and authenticity to every bite. It's the kind of dish that feels both comforting and elevated at the same time. The cauliflower croquetas are just as impressive--crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and full of flavor. Even if you're not usually drawn to cauliflower, this dish easily wins you over. Dessert was unforgettable. The churro y plato was absolutely amazing, with warm, crispy churros paired with indulgent dips that made it hard to stop at just one bite. Service was stellar throughout the entire meal--attentive, friendly, and perfectly paced, which really elevated the overall experience. One small drawback was the seating. With a reservation, it would have been great to have the option to select outdoor seating ahead of time. The patio atmosphere looked inviting, and having that choice during booking would really enhance the overall experience. Overall, Contigo Latin Kitchen stands out for its flavorful dishes, excellent service, and thoughtful preparation--definitely a spot worth returning to.

You could tell right from the start the guys in the truck were passionate about what they did. They showed a high level of excitement explaining their different empanadas and how to reheat them when you got home. On our first attempt, we ordered the ground beef , apple, chicken, pizza, and fatay. They neatly arranged it in a medium size pizza box that had the qualities and included the reheating instructions. Each empanada had initials stamped so you could identify the types without having to bite in to it. Every detail was well thought out with the customer in mind and I thought that was a great touch. Fast forward to reheating and biting in to the empanadas, I found them to be very flavorful. You could tell the flavors were layered nicely. These were so good I went back the next day and walked away with their large pizza box. I pretty much tried everything that wasn't special order. My preference, but I like that it's baked and not fried. The internal ingredients are more pronounced and not masked with fryer fat. The size was perfect in that you can try more than one and not be stuffed. It's quality over quantity and in a place like this it matters. Good stuff. I'll be back. Just under $4 each any flavor.
