    Lomo Saltado
    Miguel C.

    Let me start with saying WOW!! The Lomo Saltado was seasoned to perfection! I went during the lunch hour rush and the food turnaround was still faster than other less busy restaurants. What really stood out was the balance between quality and value. Portions are generous, and you can tell they don't cut corners on ingredients. Only draw back is if you dine in, you can't have refills and you have to go up, wait in line, and pay for another drink.

    DELICIOUS! My whole meal was delicious, I definitely plan to come back! I tried their chicken sandwich with fries and I'm obsessed with their sauce!

    Cold Fries.

    Love the server Nicole. Not so much the other ladies. My friend said the fries he received were not freshly made but maybe heated up. They were stale & bland. Also they shorted him shrimp in the mariscos plate. They didnt want to do anything about it. They gave him stale fries, they didnt want to do anything about it.... I hate going to places that act as if -- you are bothering them, when the way they prepare food is lack luster..

    Their chicken taquitos have toothpicks in them and they're quesadillas have pieces of bone their chicken is burnt and to top it off when you try to hold them accountable you get screamed at by the bitch who claims to be a manager so stay away from this place if you can, there is far better peruvian spots in the area. The managers are all on minimum wage slave trips as they like to scream at their customers.

    My friend and I tried the lomo saltado--he got chicken, I went with beef--and both were delicious. The salsa was fantastic and really added a great kick. Service was friendly and attentive too.

    First time to Caveman Kitchen. Will not be my last. Second, it's close to work. First, because I enjoyed it. A lot. I didn't enjoy the parking. I showed up after work and ended up parking down the block. I thought I might have to do a few laps around the neighborhood but lucked out and caught someone taking off from a spot my car fits. If you know me, I don't have Zoey anymore. My new ride, Caleb doesn't fit everywhere. There are spots in the plaza where the restaurant is, but when I pulled in, nothing was available. Walk in, order and find a seat. I got there early so I had to order a few times as I didn't know when my party would arrive. Not a big deal but just know it's not like you get a bill for the table and just add to it. Get up and order, get your number and everything will be brought out to you. Though not quite full service, the staff is friendly AF. If you need anything, just ask. Also really helpful and I appreciate that when I did order, one of the counter staff told me to order the dessert and let her know when I was ready to avoid having to place another order. I really enjoyed the food. The Mariscos Saltado hit the spot. Along with the Plantains for appetizers and for dessert. See pics. I even had their "Caveman" beer. Sorta like Pacifico but a full bodied and went well to kick off the three days weekend (went last Friday). Dining are can get a little loud with the music then adding the people. So, don't go hoping to have intimate conversations. Go there to eat. Eat well. Like I did.

    Love this place! Food tastes like you are eating in your mom's kitchen! Everything is cooked to perfection along with an amazing presentation in every dish! We came here to eat and I asked the manager if he can put the Laker game on and he went out of his way to install Amazon prime and made it happen! After a long days work this definitely made my day!

    I would really give this 3.5 stars. I ordered the popular Lomo Saltado and it was just okay. I felt like the meat needed more flavor. It came with rice but no beans. The sauce was really good, just needed the meat to taste like the sauce and it would have been much better. Also I felt there was way more fries in it than actual meat. But not bad. I just wouldn't get it again. Shopping center parking.

When I finally logged into Yelp to do just that, I was genuinely saddened to see that this place has since closed. It honestly broke my heart, because this was one of those dining experiences that truly stayed with me. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was stunning--beautiful rooftop vibes, warm energy, and a space that immediately made you feel like you were about to experience something special. The food itself was absolutely phenomenal. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully executed, beautifully plated, and bursting with flavor. You could taste the care, creativity, and intention behind each bite. The Peruvian inspiration throughout the menu was both authentic and elevated, striking the perfect balance between comfort and sophistication. One of the most memorable parts of the experience was the chef herself coming out to introduce herself. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and passionate. You could tell she truly poured her heart into her food. She took the time to explain the inspiration behind the dishes, and it made the entire meal feel even more meaningful. That level of personal touch is rare and so appreciated. Looking back at these photos now just reminds me how special this place was. Delicious food, a talented and thoughtful chef, and an overall experience that left a lasting impression. It's such a shame this spot is no longer around, because it truly deserved all the love and recognition. If the chef ever opens another concept, I will absolutely be first in line. Thank you for such a memorable meal--this is one I won't forget.

I just saw my receipt and there are all these up charges: 1% service charge, 4% benefits surcharge, and another charge to use the cashless Sunday platform fee of $1.49, plus automatic gratuity, in case you didn't know and you tip on top of that. For the quinoa beet salad and a drink it was almost $60, not worth the meal but it was a cute rooftop place to try out.

The green aji verde is spot on, it's spicy, but not overly spicy and it has great flavor. Prepare to cover your food with this delicious sauce.

Dining areas are comfortable with staff being friendly and efficient. The neighborhood looked gentrified with many other businesses in close proximity to explore.

I ordered the quarter chicken with rice and salad, and I was really impressed with the portion sizes.

The sauce was definitely the highlight for me--it was so good that I found myself adding it to every bite. The prices are also fantastic. For the quality and quantity of food you get, this place is truly a gem. That said, there were a couple of downsides. The restaurant itself is very small, with limited seating available. The customer service also wasn't the best during my visit. Since the dining area was completely full when we arrived, we decided to place our order to go. While we were waiting for our food, a table opened up, so we asked if we could sit down and eat there instead. We were told that because we had ordered our food to go, we were not allowed to sit in the restaurant. I found that a bit disappointing, especially since we had already paid for the same food as everyone else dining in. Overall, the food was excellent and definitely the reason I would come back. If I'm in the area and craving their chicken, I'd absolutely return--just with different expectations regarding the seating situation and service.
