The waitress did not speak much English so I asked for what a woman at another table was eating, not knowing what it would be. It was the special which came with soup, entree and drink for $15. The chicken noodle soup was huge and delicious. I was unfamiliar with the spices on the beef but it was so tender and enoyable. Huge mound of citrus hinted rice and a side of beans. I was stuffed!! The place was clean; the service very nice. I really enjoyed myself. .

The ceviche was good overall, fresh and enjoyable, but a few bites were noticeably too salty. The corn was a nice touch and added some balance to the dish. The fried rice was decent but leaned a little bland and could've used more spice or depth to really stand out. Overall, I'd come back and try other dishes. There's enough here to make it worth another visit.

Unfortunately, though serviceable, this restaurant was a bit of a letdown. The Ceviche Mixto and Ceviche De Camarones were just average for me. They tasted fresh, but lacked any real flavor. On the other hand, their Anticuchos was quite enjoyable. Maybe they do cooked dishes better. I might come back to try other menu items next time in the area, but currently on the questionable list.

I must disclose…read moreI am peruvian myself and I am VERY critical of my food because I was born and raised there, so to say I know how peruvian food looks like and taste, it's an understatement. We ordered: yuca frita with huancaina sauce, ceviche, 4 sabores, patasca, crema volteada, tres leches. Price was affordable $100 for all that food, in this area is difficult to find but I feel it was a "hit or miss" kinda place: the patasca and ceviche were awesome.. meanwhile the rest was BLAH Will I come here again? The answer sadly is NO. They need to hire a REAL PERUVIAN CHEF which is not who cooked my food, I can tell. Sadly, hire another cook.

This is now the third time in a row that I've been charged hidden or unauthorized fees on my bill…read more What made this even more concerning is that they didn't provide me with an itemized breakdown of my bill. It was only after I asked to see the receipt and questioned the total that I discovered they had added extra charges. Every time I've confronted them, they've refunded the money--but only after I caught it myself. The most recent visit was the worst. We were a party of two, yet they automatically added a 20% gratuity to the bill without making it clear. Then, on top of that, they asked me to leave the tip in cash, without mentioning that a 20% tip had already been added. That's extremely misleading. As for the food, it's very basic and nothing worth going out of your way for. At this point, after three separate incidents, it's hard to believe these are just mistakes. I strongly recommend everyone ask for an itemized bill and review it carefully before paying. Based on my repeated experiences, I would avoid this business altogether.

This is a wonderful find! We love Peruvian food (and we just traveled to Peru this past January),…read moreand we thought this was great. Most area Peruvians are very humble places, but this is the probably the most elegant, upscale one we've been to. The food was really good: we ordered the ceviche norteño, the lomo saltado, and the grilled skirt steak with sides (including maduros, chaufa, and yucca), and the pollo a la brasa. For drinks we had pisco sours and old fashioneds with chicha. Everything was carefully prepared. The ceviche was delicious, the steak perfectly cooked. The potatoes in the lomo saltado were wedges rather than the traditional French fries, and the pieces of beef were big and juicy and cooked medium rare (to our order) and overall much better than what we usually get in lomo saltado. There were also good sauces to accompany everything. And our waitress was so attentive and friendly! The interior is nicely decorated and includes several slightly whimsical illustrations of ancient Incas. There were a number of big screen TVs playing which might be annoying to some, but this was during the World Cup. Not sure if they're always on.

This place is pretty mid at best for me. I came for lunch because I saw their Instagram…read moreadvertisements for $12 lunch specials so I was like let me try this local spot. Oh I was so wrong. To start they charge automatic gratuity for a 2 top? If you're going to do that tell the guest that the tip is included, instead it seems like they hope you don't see it and double tip. Kinda shady. Then they charge you 3% for using a credit card. I hate any business that does this. This is a business expense for you not me. If you don't like the extra fees as a business then become a cash business only. Problem solved. Anyway I came for lunch and food was either too salty, dry and smokey like the Pollo a La Brasa which by the way was the worst I've her had in my life or just bland like the aji chicken with no real in between it just felt like nothing was cooked with love. Just food thrown on a plate to me. Plus why is there no lunch menu printed? If you didn't know about the lunch special I don't think the waiters would bring it up to you either as an option. Service was ok nothing memorable about it either. Yet they managed to give me the wrong potato for my to go order( I did order to go for family but should have waited to eat the food first while dining in) and not the causa I wanted even though they literally type in my order as I give it and then they charge an automatic gratuity too for a to go order is crazy. Restaurant is a little too bright and those lights need to be dimmer to create a better atmosphere and maybe clean up the scratches on the walls. Drinks look pretty good but didn't try any. I think come here for the drinks but not the food. Nothing special about anything I tried. But hey maybe I came with a bad cook working that day on a Friday. Anyway try it for yourself if you want but I probably won't be coming here again. I felt like I wasted my $50 here and I hate wasting money.

The Seafood Ceviche is by far some of the best that I've had in the area. And as for the Fried Red Snapper, it couldn't be any fresher. Also, if you're into Stews, you would definitely enjoy the Seafood Sudado it's incredible! As for the wait-staff's service it's hit or miss. The couple of other times that I have been here I had to wait for a prolonged period of time to even be handed a menu. But as for this recent visit, the wait-staff was on point! So it kind of made up for the other times that I was here and the service was lacking. All in all, this is a solid Peruvian Restaurant, with amazing food at great prices and consistent food preparation. I'll definitely will be returning from time to time to indulge myself in some of this fine Peruvian cuisine, and you should too! So, definitely check out Santa Barbara Peruvian Restaurant next time you're in the mood for some Ceviche.
