We love exploring different cultures and cuisines, so we were excited for this dinner adventure. We ordered the Steamed Fish Mix and the Peruvian Paella and wow, the portions were massive. Just look at the amount of seafood they packed into these dishes! Absolutely unbelievable. I'll admit, I was turned off from paella after trying it in Miami years ago but Casa Mia completely changed my mind. The Peruvian Paella was so flavorful, fresh, and delicious that my girlfriend already said she would order it again. I had the Steamed Fish Mix and honestly did not expect that much seafood. The broth was amazing, rich, comforting, perfectly seasoned, and not overly salty. It paired so well with all the seafood. This place is truly a hidden gem in Oakville. If you enjoy Peruvian food or even if it's your first time trying it like us. You need to check this spot out. The husband and wife owners were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which made the experience even better. 10/10 experience. We'll definitely be back!

We ordered a fried yuca as a starter, lomo saltado and mixed jalea as our mains and even ordered the tres leches cake and a cappuccino for dessert since everything tastes so good! Taste: DELICIOUS Portion size: Generous Authenticity: Boyfriend said it's the best and most authentic Peruvian food he has had since leaving Peru! Pricing: super reasonable.. probably $20 a plate Additional comments: only "negative" was that the service is a bit slow but I think it's all the kindness and authenticity that goes into the meal. Also as a Latina it's just the latin way to take our time The owners seem to be such sweet people so that's an added plus. Overall 10/10 will definitely be returning!!!

Anyways, we came on a week night and it was fairly quiet so we got seated right away. The booths are very comfortable and the decor is super nice. We got a menu and the server asked us if we had ever had Peruvian food and although we said yes, she was very happy to walk us through the menu. We were given canchita and plantain chips as a free snack, canchita is like a roasted pop corn which is very crunchy and delicious .We specifically came here to try the pollo a la brasa, which is like a Peruvian style rotisserie chicken. We got the combo that comes with fries and fried rice which was the BEST choice The chicken was deliciously seasoned, maybe a bit salty for people who watch their salt intake but personally I LOVED it. The fries were crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside and fried rice was the best fried rice I've had in a Peruvian place in a while. It also comes with 2 sauces which are brought in large bottles so you can have as much as.you want. Both are spicy but the creamy sauce is only mild and the red sauce is like a medium spicy sauce. Overall we had a great experience and will definitely come back again!

We came here as a group of 10 on a Sunday evening and had a fantastic experience…read more My partner and I shared: - Alitas de Pollo (nice balance of dry and saucy, slightly spicy wings) - Ceviche Carretillero (my least favourite dish of the night as it was a little too sour, and the fried calamari was an interesting topping admist this raw dish. The sweet potatoes surprisingly worked well though) - Parihuela (not as well-rounded as a French bouillabaisse, but still delicious with a variety of seafood) - Chicha Morada (delicious purple corn drink) Portions were pretty large, so I'd recommend ordering family style to try a few different dishes. Food was not a 5/5 for me, but service was above and beyond. Upon arrival, we had given the staff a cake to serve after our meal for a friend's birthday. We had the candles in our bag, and were planning on pulling them out when we were done our entrees. The owner, assuming that we hadn't brought our own candles, went out and bought candles for the cake during our meal. We were stunned when we found out! They then portioned out the cake perfectly after we sang happy birthday. We also didn't realise we had stayed 30 minutes past their 9pm closing time, and they never nudged us to leave. It seemed like it was the owner and his father running the restaurant, and I felt very well taken care of. I'm already looking forward to returning to Pisac in the near future.

Okay, honestly, this place really exceeded expectations. I worked at a Peruvian restaurant for…read moreyears and constantly seek it out in any new city (I've also been to Peru). Their piscos were great, and I didn't see you could order a PITCHER of chicha until it was too late, which I totally would have done and enjoyed a booze free meal, but the pisco was def worth it. They give you cancha to start, which I can eat all day (we asked for extra to eat with the ceviche) Onto the food. The ceviche was decent; we got the trilogy to try a few different kinds, but it was a little hard to tell the difference between the three (assuming rocoto, aji Amarillo and plain); the yuccas were also fine; I wish they were a little crispier, but they were definitely tasty. I wish we were with a bigger crowd so we could try more things. The entrees, though, were EXCELLENT. First and foremost, their tacu tacu is HUGE. The biggest I've ever seen, and the entire thing was the perfect texture, despite being the size of a guinea pig. The seafood was not overcooked, which is really hard to do in a stew. Really impressed. Then their pollo was also just as great; their chicken was tender and the sauce was really great and soy sauce forward (which I love. My only gripe is I wish they mixed the French fries in with the sauce so they can get coated in it. Call to make a resy if you're going because it fills up, and with food this tasty, I can see why. If we are ever back in Toronto, we will be returning here!

Best decision of my recent trip to Toronto was to visit El Inka. I came here on a Tuesday afternoon…read morejust around 1:30pm. The restaurant was not busy at all, which for me was perfect. I was dining solo, and just really wanted to experience some good Peruvian food that I haven't had in a long time. I ordered from the lunch menu and opted for two lunches - gluttonous I know - but I wanted to try the Ceviche de pescado and the Aji de Gallina. I asked about Chicha Morada to drink, but it hadn't been prepared yet, so I had maracuja juice (passion fruit). First of all, the ceviche was outstanding! It's a simple tilapia, but it was so perfectly prepared. I loved the little sweet potato garnish, and the tangy flavor was spot on. I felt like I was eating the ceviche I had back when I was in Peru. The server also brought a small dish of Peruvian corn (crunchy corn kernels) with my drink while I waited for the entrees to come out. These were perfect little snackers! The Aji de Gallina came next and it was also exactly like the homemade aji de gallina I had at the home I stayed at while in Peru. It was so reminiscent of homecooked food, and it was exactly what I wanted. Of course, I couldn't finish it all, and my server boxed it up for me to take home. Speaking of my server - a HUGE shout out to Alessandra who was so kind and friendly. Since the restaurant was relatively empty I had the opportunity to chat with her more than I might normally chat with a server. I ended up showing her photos from when I was in Peru and about being in Toronto for the day. I was just very excited to find authenitc Peruvian food since it's not something easily accessible here in my city. Alessandra was a delight, and she even sent me home with some extra Peruvian corn for a snack which I happily ate on my train ride home the next day. She definitely didn't have to do that! I really hope that I get a chance to visit this restaurant again! Also, as an American, the prices were really good. I spent only $34 USD for two entrees - so if in a normal situation when I wasn't over eating, I could easily have had a $18-20 lunch that was filling and delicious.

I've actually had Brasa previously many years ago for a Yelp event but this time I decided to stop by the Queen St. location to grab dinner. Their menu boasts unique flavours where ingredients are fresh and nutritious. I decided to order a bowl from their phone app where my order was made in about 15 min. Upon arriving at Brasa, the space is accessible where the cashier/food counter area is to your right. On the left there is bar seating where you could enjoy your items there. I mentioned to staff that I was there to pick up my food where it was already made. In terms of food, I ordered the tuna ceviche bowl (Organic tricolour Peruvian quinoa, marinated tuna, avocado and sweet potato blossoms, two types of Peruvian corn, finely sliced red onion) which cost around $17. I had the bowl for dinner and it felt super healthy with the quinoa, avocado, and tuna! The ingredients tasted great together and the crunchy corn added a crunchy textural element to the bowl. Overall, a healthy alternative in the Queen/University area!
