    Ceviche and arroz chaufa
    Danielle N.

    Really good food and service. We sat on the back patio which is really cute. I got a passion fruit pisco sour which was really good. For dinner we had the ceviche and arroz chaufa. Really excellent. Highly recommend.

    Arroz con Mariscos
    Megan J.

    The Ceviche dish was overpowered by the lime juice which made the dish super sour. However, I'd say it was better than the Arroz Con Mariscos. The fried calamari was heavily battered and sadly unseasoned. The nonalcoholic beverage that I ordered which was the Chicha Morada, was amazing! The staff was incredibly attentive, making sure our drinks were refilled at all times even though the refill glass was on our table. The "backyard"/outdoor seating, which is covered was very nice. It was a nice, cozy date night choice. No parking lot, but parking is available around the corner in the residential area which

    Pannacotta dessert: excellent

    They somewhat lived up to the hype. Classic Pisco Sour: A Excellent, can't think of a better one in town Papa Rellena: A-, a great starter, decent value. Causa de Camarones: C+ Kinda of a letdown considering the price. The 3-4 shrimp weren't that large. It just wasn't that impressive. Ceviche de Pescado: B+ Great flavor medley. Good portion, there should be leftover sauce so order a side of garlic rice. Aji de Gallina: B+ Excellent version of this classic. Portion is small though. Lucuma Pannacotta: A. Loved this dessert. Simple, semi-light, wonderful flavor (hint of butterscotch.) Service: A-. Didn't catch her name, but very pleasant and efficient. Like many Yelpers, we dine frequently. Almost everything here seemed to cost just a little more than it should. I'd go back, and would recommend, but wouldn't rave about it.

    Cozy ambient and intimate covered outdoor seating enhanced the overall experience. My husband made reservations to this restaurant for a Friday evening. We arrived a bit late and were asked to wait 5-7 minutes. After that, we were quickly taken to our table. There, our waitress handed us the menu where we looked over the selections. We decided to ordered one appetizer to share and two entrees. We decided to go with the Papa Rellena. It is filled with meat and an egg and enclosed in potato. There is a cheesy sauce that it's paired with and it's goes so well together. I can easily chow down 4, but that will be my entire dinner. Our main entrees were the Arroz Chaufa and the Lomo Saltado Criollo. I had the Arroz Chaufa dish. It is a fried rice with pork belly. There are sausage, bok choy, snow peas and a fried egg on top. Everything goes so well together. Overall it is a very nice fried rice dish. My husband ordered the Lomo Saltado Criollo and it's a steak with potato and white rice. The white rice was spectacular as it's seasoned. The potatoes and the steak were really good too. We will definitely come back and try some other dishes along with desserts.

    The garden back patio was just magical!! The food was presented well and the flavors made my taste buds dance. The wait staff were friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back when we come through town again.

    First of all, the signage is non-existent. When I thought I was there, I had to go in and ask if it was the restaurant. After that, however, everything was wonderful. We sat outside and the patio area that was covered and had heaters - - if anything it got too warm (was 50 degrees outside). It is a lovely area. There were four of us, and we all enjoyed it immensely. The empanada appetizers were delicious. We had the special entrées of the day, one of which was similar to a paella. All the food was delicious. Our service people were very knowledgeable and there when they were needed. Oh yes, the Pisco Sours were also very good - - particularly the passionfruit one.

    Everyone working there was super kind. The food was tasty, I enjoyed the pork belly and the pisco sour. Great art on the walls and good indoor/outdoor seating, would love to try their other food options.

    I am always in a lookout for an excellent Peruvian Restaurant. This place blew our minds off!! Being daughter of a Peruvian I am very picky for excellence and a real and authentic Peruvian Dish. This place is outstanding. Every bite of each dish took me back to my family's homemade Peruvian food in Peru. We ordered the Passionfruit Pisco Sour for drinks and it was made to perfection. For food we had Anticuchos de Pollo, Fish Ceviche and Rice with Seafood. For dessert we couldn't miss the Picarones (staple dessert but barely a few restaurants make it). Every dish is delicately made and super thoughtfully decorated. Service is amazing. Our server was extremely nice. I was celebrating my birthday and they gave me a delicate dessert on the house. Ambiance was beautifully decorated as if you were in their city of Cusco, Peru. Loved all the traditional Peruvian touches in each corner including the bathroom. Definitely will become a regular here. They have inside seating and patio. We prefer the outdoor seating because of the ambiance. We went in summer so weather was perfect. For winter they have heaters so it should be fine.

    Ceviche Sudado de Pescado

    Hidden gem in Portland. This restaurant is ranked number one for a reason--it's one of the best meals we've had, surpassed only by Andina. As a passionate foodie, I appreciate well-executed cuisine, and every dish here is perfection in every bite. I highly recommend giving this place a try; you won't be disappointed. While the prices are slightly higher than average, they are justified by the quality. The service was top-notch, attentive, and friendly. They also have a charming back patio, perfect for groups, which requires reservations. My Pisco Sour was wonderfully balanced, with a hint of citrus and froth. The Lomo Saltado featured tender strips of beef stir-fried with onions, tomatoes, and crisp fries, served alongside rice. The Ceviche Pescado had fresh, firm fish marinated in citrus, with a touch of cilantro and chili--absolutely delicious.

    Devin R.

    I was very pleasantly surprised by this place! The service was very fast and attentive. The decor was beautiful and the back garden was like a little oasis off of Lombard. Each dish we tried was presented beautifully and tasted wonderful. I especially liked the different potatoes and crispy yet juicy pork belly and the slight spicy flavors in chicharon de puerco.

    How have we never been here before!? This is a beautiful spot that is quite well hidden. The outdoor patio is charming and we felt like we were no longer in Portland. It was so lovely that we seriously didn't want to leave and go back to normal life. Staff were knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. The food was absolutely amazing! I am not familiar with Peruvian food but I thoroughly enjoyed everything. I cannot wait to bring friends and come back soon!

    LOMO SALTADO

    Oh my god. I don't even know where to start. Exceptional hospitality and the food is so flavorful and delicious. I can't wait to go back.

    Ceviche de Pescado
    Taylor B.

    Having been to Peru a few years back, we were excited to try Casa Zoraya in North Portland. It's in a very unsuspecting location and the signage out front is not very ostentatious, so it's easy to miss. But, to be clear, nobody should miss out on Casa Zoraya! a must-visit and we would be delighted to come back. Restaurant: There's two front doors, the first enters to a counter to the kitchen and the door on the left is to a modest dining room. We were seated out on the back patio, which is definitely an all-season patio with a roof covering for the rainy season and the addition of fans and misters for warmer seasons. It's quite a casual atmosphere, but inviting with bright colors and touches of Peru scattered across the premises. Service: The wait staff was attentive and friendly. They proactively took our empanadas off our bill because we'd waited for a while to receive them, which was a very thoughtful but unnecessary gesture. We never went without water or drinks and felt that our needs were met from start to finish. Appetizers: Papa Rellena- order comes with 2 perfectly cripsy croquettes with a lovely sauce to complement them. Empanada de Ají de Gallina- order comes with 2 empanadas. Being a big fan of Ají de Gallina, I was nervous that the empanada would not do it justice. But, I was wrong; it was a perfect way to enjoy it. Entrees: Ceviche de Pescado- our fish of the day was Hawaiian ono, which came with a complex mezcla, including 2 types of inca corn. Arroz con Mariscos- this was accurately described to us as their "paella-like" dish. It came with clams and fried ono. Not bad but not our favorite. Arroz Chaufa- a Chinese-Peruvian dish that was the table favorite. The pork belly and rice were both cooked to perfection. Dessert: Alfajor: a very unique dish, with many different flavors. A nice way to end our dinner but not something I would order again. Drinks: Classic Pisco Sour- can't go wrong with a pisco sour, and they do it right. Chica Morada Batida- a favorite of the evening. so very unique with the addition of the purple corn-based drink, chica morada. Chilca-jito- fresh, crisp and ginger-forward.

    We ordered all of the desserts they had!

    Very family oriented restaurant. Simple decorated, Latin Music in the background but very inviting…read more We came here on a Wednesday at 6pm and it was not that busy yet. Menu has a lot of Delicious Peruvian options including some diverse Pisco Sour Peruvian drinks. We were seated immediately and our order was taken promptly when we were ready to order. For drinks we had the Maracuya Juice and the Chicha Pisco Sour. It was very smooth. For food we ordered Chaufa Rice with Seafood, Pescado Saltado and Ceviche Mixto. Each dish was pretty big, even to share and take home. Flavor was exactly like Peruvian food should taste (my mom is Peruvian and I have been in Peru a few times). Definitely one of the best Peruvian restaurants in Portland/Beaverton area.

    On a long drive, we visited this wonderful Peruvian restaurant which was highly praised and well…read morereviewed. Totally well-deserved! Sharing a large parking lot in a strip mall, the restaurant had simple decor apart from the wall art and the service was friendly and warm. Starting with a Corona served with ice-frosted mugs, warm bread with butter was served as a complimentary appetizer. The mixed seafood Cerviche was just bursting with flavor in its vinegary goodness, packed with fresh seafood. I had the deep-fried ribeye with pesto spaghetti. Portion was huge! Meat was thin and medium rare (perfect), and i could not finish the spaghetti which was tasty enough to be a dish on its own. We finished with a flan and tres leches (forgot the pics). Talk about going out with flair!

TL/DR: The food was tasty and the portions were good, but the prices are an issue. I went looking for a place to find the lovely Peruvian delicacies we enjoyed at our favorite spots in Northern California and Salt and Pepper were closest to my house and you gotta start somewhere. The-Woman-who-lets-me-live-with-her (thanks Mike) was out of town on a family matter so I just headed in for some lunch. Heading in was actually more problematic than it ought to be. The restaurant is upstairs at a local tienda, the signage is not great, and apparently neither is business, as there was nobody in the store area. The food counter was closed (in the tienda) and the shelves were a little sparse. I wandered up the stairs and found the restaurant. Nobody is coming here for the decor. It was brown Formica tables and vinyl upholstered chairs, but I didn't come to eat the furniture. I went to the counter and peered into the kitchen before I saw my first person in the building. Honestly, it was a little creepy. She was friendly enough and we chatted a bit and I asked about the specials. She pointed me toward the Pozole equivalent, Patasca. Rich broth, tender chunks of meat (still on the bone in some cases, that's a plus for me), hominy and cubes of tripe. It's the same essence as a Mexican Pozole, but without the developed chiles that give you the red coloring. I also ordered the Passion Fruit agua fresca equivalent, Maracuya, and it was also wonderful. So, in short, good food, but 27 bucks for a bowl of soup? In a truck-stop looking environment?
