    Tallarin verde with chicken
    Andre A.

    Very good and flavorful Peruvian food. The lomo saltado had great flavor and the steak was nice and tender. The rice was a little salty and that would be our only complaint. The tallarin verde was excellent and had a nice creamy texture with the grilled chicken. The pasta also did not feel too heavy. Wish they hadn't sold out of their rotisserie chicken. Will have to come back to try that!

    The dishes we ordered had authentic Peruvian taste. Good portions. The server was accommodating and very friendly. The music playing in the background was a great playlist. Comfortable sitting area, clean restrooms and overall. Parking was good in a busy shopping center. See you again soon!!

    We finally tried this AL TOQUE Peruvian Kitchen , a Peruvian Cuisine. They used to only operate in a Food Truck and now they have their restaurants. We came early and there were only a few of us inside sitting in the main dining area. There are plenty of customers on their Bar and a lot of in-and-out people ordering to go. We only ordered the Soltado and Fried seafood (Jalea Mixta) to try, but it took so long for our food to come out. They seemed to be focusing on the orders to go. But after trying their food, all that waiting is Worth it, the food was delicious, I really like how the Fried Seafood was cooked, Crispy and flavorful, also their Lomo Saltado was very Tender. Very clean inside, spacious, and with friendly staff. Parking was easy, plenty around.

    First time trying this place. I picked the I forgot, Yet I know it was the very top one, something something with the rib eye steak, even though I am vegan at times I am flexitarian, wjere at tomes I would eat some meat, after I broke it when I ate a goat dish; I think my brother is friends with the guy worker, and most likely he chose this place for us to eat here.

    Some of the fries were spoiled, as you can see in the photo.

    Parking was easy and the staff was very friendly. The ceviche was absolutely perfect. The potato dish was also perfect, but a few of the fries were spoiled, as you can see in the photo. The beef plate had good seasoning with the onions and rice, but the meat itself had a slightly odd taste. The chicken and rice plate was unfortunately dry. Overall it was a decent experience. I wouldn't go out of my way to return, but if I'm already in the area and hungry I'd stop by again....

    As daughter of a Peruvian I can tell you this place is very good. We got there at 12pm on a Saturday and there were only two tables occupied. We were seated, but it did take a while to get service since there was only one person for all the tables taking order, bringing food,etc. That for me is a downside since being a Saturday in December the restaurant should have more personnel. We ordered Maracuya Sour and Chicha Morada for drinks, which was really good. For food we ordered Fish Ceviche, Yuca Frita and Chaufa de Mariscos (Peruvian Fried Rice). Taste was truly Peruvian style. So the quality of the food made for the service, that is why I didn't put it 5 stars. Place is big with lots of tables and a big parking area.

    First time trying this spot out. In a strip mall with some parking, but there are lots of businesses there, so it is a little crowded. Inside the restaurant, plenty of seating, giant mural, nice ambiance, TV with sports playing, friendly staff. Service was good, the food was ready when promised, and they double bagged my order which was great because 1 bag would have broken with all of that food. We tried several different items. Calamari Crispy fried calamari, seasoned and lightly battered, served with our huancaina dipping sauce. Crispy fried calamari, seasoned and lightly battered, served with our huancaina dipping sauce. Yum. Tasty. That dipping sauce has a little kick, but it is a good taste. Saltados - Chicken & Ribeye A delicious duo of juicy chicken and tender ribeye, wok-tossed with onions, tomatoes, fries, and Peruvian spices, served with a side of rice. A delicious duo of juicy chicken and tender ribeye, wok-tossed with onions, tomatoes, fries, and Peruvian spices, served with a side of rice. Delicious. I was going to try to not eat it all, but it was good good and I devoured it. My least favorite part was the tomato chunks. Tallarín Verdes-Pollo Enjoy the bold flavors of our signature Peruvian green pasta! Spaghetti coated in a rich spinach and basil sauce, topped with a tender, flattened chicken breast (pollo) grilled to perfection. Good. I tried a bite. Not as good as my Saltados. Lomo A flavorful Peruvian fried rice dish with tender ribeye strips, scrambled eggs, green onions, and soy sauce, wok-tossed for a smoky finish.

    We found this place while looking for Peruvian food in the area. Prepared to be wowed by the full wall mural as you walk in to the right. It's just so vibrant and full of energy. It gives the place such an upbeat feeling. I ordered the Tallarin Saltados Especial, with shrimp, chicken and beef. Such a dance of flavors! Loved the sauce so much, I could drink it. Service was friendly and speedy. I look forward to trying out more dishes here.

    Here's a second review from me. I had the Tallarines a la Huancaina-Pollo for the first time and it was amazing the Parmesan creamy pasta was packed with a home style comfort food experience. The chicken breast was cooked to perfection with balanced spices to compliment the pasta Honestly I wasn't very hungry when I arrived but I wanted to finish my meal due to how good it tasted. I ended up ordering one to go for my lunch tomorrow since I live 70 miles away. 5/5 stars The Chicha is also a must to order. It reminds of Christmas fall holiday flavors. I got one of those to go as well. 5/5 starts The owners were gracious enough to put a specific football game on so we can see it while we eat. The ambiance was full of upbeat people celebrating a few birthdays!

    Alfajores
    Seetha G.

    Tried Al Toque while in Oceanside and it was a great find! We started with the calamari appetizer -- simple, crispy, and good. The Talla'nin Verdes-pollo was the star of the night, so flavorful and cooked perfectly. I also tried the Leche de Tigre which had awesome, bright flavors, but it's a little tough to share family style, so probably wouldn't order that one again. The Mariscos Chaufas was super tasty and full of flavor. For dessert, we couldn't resist the Alfajores -- you get a dozen in a little to-go box. They were soft, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth delicious and such a fun way to end the meal. Service was prompt and friendly. All in all, solid 4 stars -- tasty food, casual vibe, and we'd definitely come back next time we're in the area!

    Came in on Saturday evening and it wasn't too busy. Few different families so not loud at all. Food was absolutely amazing. My steak was made differently this time and I personally loved it so much more. Service has been consistent and the men always make us feel welcomed. I know I need to try something new on the menu but this has been so good. Steak with a creamy pasta, like what else could you ask for. My son had the pesto pasta and really enjoyed that. Even took home his leftovers and finished them later on that night. I mention that only because he hates left overs and that means he really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back to try something new.

    We've been to just a few Peruvian restaurants. Some with very colorful authenticity; some with a very modern vibe. Al Torque had a very laid back come-as-you-are casual ambience, with a stuffed white llama posted to greet us by the front entrance. Bader (pronounced Vader, like in Darth... you know what I mean) attended to us the instant we walked in. Very friendly and welcoming customer service. Oh course we loved that. Who wouldn't? Menu showed a variety of dishes and drinks, which Bader patiently described to us and gave recommendations. We chose Pescado Ceviche for appetizer; Tallarines a la Huancaina-Pollo and Vegetable Saltado for main dishes; Torta de Chocolat for dessert; Chicha and Maracuya for drinks. Total under $100. Experience priceless, as our taste buds were taken to the rustic culinary kitchens of Peru. There were huge television screens to view sports channels for avid soccer/basketball (or whatever) sports fan to watch while enjoying their meal... we just enjoyed our meal and each other's company. Not fancy, but oh so comfy... and delicious! Oh yes, we will come here again very soon!!

They also had several pastries. There was only one vegan option that I recall- a vegan poppyseed muffin. I didn't get to try it on these visits but would like to soon! We had a mishap with one of our drinks and they kindly made it right, which goes a long way in our book and guarantees a return visit. Thank you for that.

The coffee shop shares a space with the Pilates studio. We saw a few sessions in progress while getting our drinks. Service was usually quick and friendly.
