Love this spot. Everything on their menu is so delicious! I love their bowls or if I'm feeling fancy their shrimp pasta!! The service is always so welcoming and great! They decorated this place so cute and very insta-worthy. They host plenty of events, farmers markets, and other community festivities! I also held a regular dinner group here over two months and it was perfect leading into summer! MUST TRY! read more

This is similar to MO's SW grill, but with Peruvian food instead of caltex. They make bowls. I am not a big fan of rice (what they normally use as a base) but they substituted a mixture of lettuce and grilled peppers n onions with lentils on top. I picked a chicken that was in a yellow sauce as my protein. The food was excellent. The lentils were very flavorful, really made the meal. My only complaint was that my bowl was $13, which seems a little high. But then, I complain about prices a little recently read more

Went there with my girlfriends for the first time for lunch and it did not disappoint! It gives a little bit of chipotle and poke style because you can make your own bowl or you can choose to have a la cart. Two of us made our own bowls and one of us got the fried fish from the A La cart menu. All the foods were delicious! The staff was very helpful as well. Because it was our first time he did not rush us and he explained what was what. He even gave us shots of their purple drink to try! It's a very cute spot to taste delicious Peruvian food! I would go back! read more

this delicious place will make you never crave chipotle again haha. i had the stewed chicken bowl, BYOB. i didn't know which side to choose from so he recommended the fried yuca, i've never had fried yuca but i went for anyway. it was sooooo good. i'm a huge potato lover and they had a similar texture to potato wedges but the taste was so much better. the ingredients tasted so fresh, you can definitely taste the difference in a local shop like this compared to a fast food chain. its a hidden gem in a shopping center. i definitely recommend this place. read more

First time of many more trips to come. Awesome smells as soon as you enter the door. I strolled in shortly before the 6 pm closing hour and was greeted with friendly service of a younger dude that helped me choose my meal. Didn't get the young dude's name but he was very helpful and thorough. As he prepared my meal, I determined that the guy helping me was obviously very attentive to his customers since another patron walked in behind me and he asked him if he's getting "the usual". Love a place where that kind of vibe exists! Food did not disappoint. Got a Peruvian bowl with stewed chicken and the fixings (yellow rice, yucca, avocado, lettuce, lentils) as he recommended. All of the sauces slapped in any combination with my bowl. I'll be back! read more

We also ordered tamales that were amazing and a papa rellena. The yellow sauce and spiciest sauces are the best!

This place is amazing. This place has the BEST tamales I've tasted in the United States. I've had some amazing tamales in Mexico, and I've been searching for great tamales in the US but never had luck. However, 380 Peruvian Bistro has it. Go here now and get the tamales. The tamales (and probably most of the food) is made by the grandma. This is a family run business. And you can see 2-3 generations here. The food is great. But like I said, the tamales themselves give this place 5 stars. it is moist, succulent, and flavorful. It's fill with surprises like meats and olives. They have daily specials. check out their bar to see what it is. But you can't go wrong with the food here. It's excellent. Most of the stuff I had from the ceviche to the Tallarin Saltado (I like to call them Peruvian Lo Mein) are all great. They are packed with flavor. For some of the dishes, they give you some homemade hot sauce, also made in-house by their grandmother using peppers imported directly from Peru. Those things are the bomb. They had great flavor, texture, and heat. I wanted a bottle of it, but they didn't sell them... yet. They also have a lot of Peruvian drinks from Inca Cola (taste like bubblegum coke), Chicha Morada, Passion Fruit Juice, and Emoliente Tea. The Chica Morada has a bit of the sweetness and Cinnamon to it. It's one of my favorite Peruvian drinks I've discovered. The service here is amazing. You can feel the warm family atmosphere. It is a small place so don't bring too many people. But come in and enjoy the food. it feels like you're part of a Peruvian family's kitchen. read more

Outstanding "Lomo Saltado," fries and rice! I wish we would've discovered this neat family restaurant earlier in our trip, and we would've visited it many more times. The steak was so tender and flavorful, and top quality. They offered 4 sauce options (2 Aji plus a tartar and red). I'm a huge fan of Aji (green) sauce, and these were all fantastic and their own family recipes. Note that they are closed at 6pm, so go for lunch or an early dinner and you'll be happy. read more

This was by far my absolute favorite place we went while we were staying in Fort Walton area! I would go back all the time if I lived in the area. We arrived right when it opened, and it took a little bit to get our food due to that, but they were overly kind and accommodating. It's really fairly priced, and you get a whole lot of food. I had more than enough for leftovers. The yucca and fried plantains were fantastic as well. It's a small place in a strip mall, but it's perfect for what they need. We raved about it to all our friends who were in town and will fully intend to return if we're back in that area someday. read more

Moments later he came over and took all of our individual orders and helped us understand the menu and talk to us through our choices.

Food was incredible and the staff very helpful in explaining the choices. I had the Steak Lomo Saltado and WOW!

Yet hours said, 11am - 9 pm. Also make sure you order online do not expect to be served if you walk up to the window. There is plenty of seating area to eat in the outside, covered pavilion.

She scanned the code and the two items she wanted, the Jumping Lomo tacos and an order of the pork belly were not available on the scan of the QR code. When she was finally able to get the attention of the young man working today (he was on his phone and paying no attention to the window), she said she couldn't find the items through the code. He responded, "what do you want?" She asked for the pork belly and had already opted for the Jumping Lomo via the QR code order and was reluctant to ask for it to be changed to the tacos due to his brusqueness. The food left a lot to be desired. The pork belly was flaccid, no satisfying crispy crunch at all. At $8.99 it was a very small order compared to what we can get at any Mexican or Chinese restaurant back home and a waste of dollars since it ended up in the trash eventually. The Jumping Lomo was okay. Rice was good and with the sauce was pretty yummy. But the chicken was fairly bland and had no seasoning and the pickled onions were over vinegary. Such a shame... It held such promise but didn't deliver.

My husband and I went to Perú Chicken last night for dinner. Despite the language barrier, we were…read moreable to order and receive a delicious meal. We used the QR code on the table to find the English menu. There are only soft drinks on the English menu, but after finding the Instagram profile for this restaurant, we showed the waitress a pic. of Pisco Sours and she understood that's what we wanted to drink. They were absolutely delicious! They did take a while to be made and one was delivered about 5 minutes before the next arrived. My husband ordered the Poor Man's Steak just to see what it was about. It was served on top of fries, with rice on the side, half a plantain and a salad. The steak was a bit chewy and the fries had no salt, but he still enjoyed it. He used the sauce from my veggies/meat to dip the fries into for some flavour. My meal was the Fettuccine with huancaina and lome saltada. It was really tasty. The fettucine was in a creamy sauce with a tiny bit of heat. The meat was cooked really nicely with a bit of pink in the centre and the tomatoes and onions were also cooked well. The sauce was pretty salty, but it all went well together. We will definitely return to try other dishes while we're here in Panama City.

Three out of four of us had ordered the hamburger steaks and while we waited our waitress checked in on us, refilled drinks multiple times, and kept updating her with the status of our order. We ended up waiting for about 30 minutes when our waitress came back and informed us that the kitchen failed to communicate that they were actually completely out of hamburger steaks. She was super apologetic, asked if there was anything else we wanted, and immediately offered compensation for the issue. We all ordered something else and she got the order in as quickly as possible, came back to check in on us some more, and got her manager to comp one of our meals and some pies for us. The food came out maybe 20 minutes later and everything was hot and fresh. The fried okra was SO GOOD and the chicken was basically falling off the bone. The toast, as seen in the picture, got a little burnt, but my husband had no complaints when he ate it. Overall, our meals were great, the pies were delicious, and the customer service form the waitresses and manager was phenomenal. The being said, this restaurant would 100% be 5 stars for me had the kitchen been communicating with the waitresses. However, they did not and it caused so much unnecessary issues for the waitresses and caused a long wait time for food during my families visit. All in all, this place is worth the try especially for the price point!
