I ordered the Abuelita's Salad, and it was absolutely delicious! It came with a big, juicy piece of chicken breast that was seasoned perfectly. The salad itself was amazing, and the fresh lemon flavor was SO good--it definitely keeps you wanting more! I highly recommend pairing the chicken with their orange sauce. The sauce has a nice spicy kick, but it's so flavorful that you just keep going back for more! My husband ordered the Lomo Saltado with rice, and let me just say... he ate EVERYTHING off his plate! That alone tells you how good it was! If you're looking to try Peruvian food, this place is definitely a must-try! Great flavors, generous portions, and food we'll definitely be coming back for! read more

I came here with my friends from SF, and let me tell you--the drive was completely worth it. The food is perfectly seasoned, and each dish has its own distinct flavor that makes it truly special. The standouts for me were the chicken causa and the crema volteada. Everything was delicious, but these two were perfection. The causa has the perfect creaminess and richness, packed with flavor in every bite. The crema volteada is also beautifully creamy and not overly sweet--it's perfectly balanced. You really can't go wrong with any of the dishes. It's a family-run business, and they are lovely--you immediately feel at home. The service was on point the entire time, and the space is clean with cute Peruvian llama artwork that adds such a charming touch. read more

Meat quality is so-so. Pricey for it's food quality. And customer service needs to improve. Server was blank and seem bored to be working. Place needs more ventilation. A/C should be running especially if it's over 85 degrees outside. It was warmer inside than outside. read more

Absolutely Delicious! A True Taste of Peru I had an incredible lunch experience at this Peruvian restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the warm hospitality and vibrant set the tone for a memorable meal. The lomo saltado was flavorful and tender, served with crispy fries and perfectly cooked rice. The Chanfainita perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice. And the Picarones Desert Cripsy on the outside fluffy inside Amazing Delicious Brought me back Home. One of the best Peruvian restaurant! In the Antioch Area with a Variety of Plates and Desserts. Will definitely comeback! read more

My first time here, was pleasantly surprised to see that this place had a small display with pastries and a little grocery section for what i figured were peruvian imports Love it, was looking for Mate de Coca, but i settled for a glass of cold Chicha de Amarillo. The sandwich de chicarron, very good. the bread is soft and seen homemade. Overall, delicious read more

So for does that went to their grand opening, and like it , I have good news they have a brand new menu and more items. I probably will not be coming back, it was overpriced and overrated. The food was ok , the packaging was 5/5 but the food was 3/5 , I ordered a Pan con lomo might as well be a Pan with onion, I tried for the first time yuca fries , not sure if they are supposed to be hard and chewy , so I can't rate that. I also got a box of Alfajores those were 5/5, in total with the Torta, yuca fries and cookies I spend $38.92 including a tip of 15%. The restaurant is nice and clean , customer service is good. Parking lot on the street or across or on the side. read more

#1 extremely friendly service #2 great coffee #3 excellent food. I ordered the Royal Hamburger it's excellent! It comes with everything you used to get on a diner burger plus fried egg. There is another burger on the menu but this is the one I'll order from now on. They have Peruvian dishes that I'm going to try in the future too. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT. Thank God Antioch is building up their downtown area with great places to eat. read more

Glad to see a new restaurant in downtown Antioch. Friendly workers, Lots of seating and easy to find parking next door. We ordered: Lomo Saltado (4.5/5) very good but i can't justify paying $18 for this plate. It's not a lot of food either. Pan con Chicharrón (4.5/5) this was so good. I loved the pickled onions with the sweetness of mashed sweet potatoes and the chicharrón. Now the little orange sauce they serve is booomb! I'd probably be back for the pan con chicharrón. * Sorry no food pictures, hunger won read more

I hope you pay attention . This business does NOT have a server. BUT they expect you to leave a LARGE tip. DON'T be like other naive and ignorant ppl that never check their bills. First time i went this year for Picarones, they're good , i cannot lie. I ordered an alfajor. It was COLD as an ice-cream. I have to get what I order at the register. The prices that they have on the menu are NOT as they are on they POS (computer). My second visit they told me that they ONLY serve picarones on Saturdays. Once again I have to pick up what I order from the counter. I did not have enough CA$H , so I almost pay with my debit card. THIS THIEF ADDED THE %18 tip . they do not have the NO TIP-Option on their payment device. As soon I notice he got embarrassed. I was like WHAT THE HECK?!!!!!. i borrowed some cashed from my friend. The Thief did not give me my change back. I had to ask him twice for my change. read more

I love Peruvian food, so I was really excited to try this restaurant! I ordered four empanadas and an alfajor. I asked for one of empanadas to be served warm so I could eat one on the drive home, but unfortunately they didn't taste fresh they had that freezer like flavor.. I waited until I got home to reheat them hoping they'd improve, but they still tasted the same! I probably won't order the empanadas again. I was a bit disappointed with the filling I wasn't a fan of it! I paid $32.78, so you can understand my frustration with receiving something that didn't feel up to quality. It seemed like they were beef picadillo style. I thought they'd be Peruvian style beef empanadas that usually include olives, egg, and raisins, but that was my fault for not asking and I assuming all places made them the same, but I don't recall seeing a description of the filling so maybe they could improve that on their end as well. The alfajor was good. Overall customer experience was friendly and fast! Something to keep in mind the pricing shown in their yelp menu images is completely different from the prices on their website. I didn't realize that until I was already there! Perhaps I'll give them another try in the future, but not anytime soon! Overall, I was disappointed with my experience. read more

WOW! This is probably one of the most underrated places in Antioch, from the moment we walked in, we were greeted with such warmth and happy smiles, naturally my children took to the desserts first and I'm so glad they did because the tiramisu was so delicious!! The steak empanada packed with flavor and cooked to perfection not too crunchy and perfectly fluffy, but the sandwich oh my goodness the sandwich!! we went with the pan con Pollo A MUST TRY!! if I could, I would eat it every single day and the sauce that they serve with it was impeccable! We will definitely be back . read more

I just want to say im so glad this place opened up in Antioch with authentic Peruvian treats!!! Tried the Pan con Chicharrón and it was so delicious. This sandwich is hard to find and im so excited they have it on their menu. Tasted just as if I was having one in Peru. Highly recommend and can't wait to try all of the sandwiches on their menu. Also got lucky and they had picarones on the menu today again another hard item to find. They did say they have it on occasions so this unfortunately isn't on the menu regularly but very glad I got lucky today with these. Definitely coming back and recommending it. Friendly staff and parking was readily available. Inside was cozy and lots of tables available. Note at this time only accepting cash. Venmo of Zelle read more

I was so excited to eat at this new restaurant with great reviews. Unfortunately they illegally discriminate against people with disabilities so I cannot support a business who discriminates. They have a "no service dogs allowed" sign. This means people with visual disabilities, or medical disabilities do not have access. Hopefully they change their policy and I wish them the best of luck. Downtown Antioch needs unique places like this. read more

We went to Abuelita's House for dinner to try it out as we like Peruvian food. The steak empanada we had for an appetizer was very good and the server that her sister makes them. Delicious! For the main dish I had the Seco de Cordero and my husband had the Seco de carne. They describe those as stews, but it's more like braised meat. Mine was a tasty braised lamb shank with Peruvian spices, salsa criollo and rice with white beans. The meat fell off the bone. This is what gives the review a 3-star. My husband braised beef was dry and not tender. The server was not friendly although helpful when asked for ice for the water. She did not seem happy to be there. The food came out fast and hot. We liked the Peruvian music in the background that made you imagine you were in the Andes somewhere, but the rest of the atmosphere in the restaurant is a bit drab and could be more colorful considering the place is representing Peru, a culturally rich country. Would we go back or recommend Abuelita's? Probably not. So the three star rating is for the empanada, the lamb and the music. That's it. read more

This was my first time trying Abuelitas House. The person who served me recommended their best Sandwich Pan con Chicharon (pork rind sandwich), honestly edible but nothing special for $14.00. I ordered a side order of fries that were undercooked, they needed more cooking for $6.00. I also ordered an iced tea, which he made from a small bag of instant tea, which is pretty weak, for $3.50. They never offered me water to drink, and I was the only one eating. I had to go to the counter to get my glass refilled, without telling me anything about an extra charge for the iced tea refill $2.50 or they would charge me double. In the end they ended up charging me $30.51 which results in paying extra than what I should have paid and I left them 15% of the tip $4.58 which the truth is they didn't deserve my total was 35.09. What bothers me is that they charge me more for no reason, this is not the way to do business. Bad customer service. read more

Went in for a quick snack and drink. Was super excited to try it. Food was yummy tasted super fresh. The customer service was also great.

The item that I ordered was not the item that I received. I didn't look at my order because I explained what I wanted and I don't know what the dish is called but I didn't get it. I don't think I will go back until someone speaks English read more

5/5 just go! We had the Pan con Chicharon (so delicious, tasted like pork belly with sweet potato and onions on a homemade roll), the triple sandwich with egg (probably the best egg salad sandwich) with freshly made juice smoothies, coffee and topped off with Christmas alfajores. Great ambiance (decorated for christmas, lots of families and festive and cozy atmosphere. Friendly service. I absolutely cannot wait to be back!! read more

Went in for the first time. It's a cute little sandwich shop with some pastries. Not a huge selection but they're still new. We ordered the triple sandwich which is Turkey and avocado. Soooo good!

I would the service was very good. They were very attentive and courteous. The food was ok. The maracuya lacked a bit of sugar it was a bit sour, the chicharrón sandwhich was ok as the bread was a bit hard and didn't seem as fresh and as for the tallarin saltado was allot and ok on flavor. I would give them another try but not the best olive had. As for the location, it wasn't as busy as they had just opened. read more
