    Ceviche Mancora
    Lauren Y.

    My first time trying Peruvian food and I had so much fun! I arrived on a Monday around 4:45pm for their happy hour specials. There was no wait when we arrived. We had the kindest server who let me sample a few (non alcoholic) drinks before making my decision. My colleague and I ordered two appetizers off the bar bites menu. We ordered the yucas y platanos ($13) and the beef heart anticuchos ($17). Then, we felt like we could still eat a little bit more so we split the ceviche mancora ($26). All the food was fantastic. A few days later, and I'm still thinking about how great those beef hearts were. So flavorful, so tender, and such a fun texture. I was so surprised with how much I enjoyed them. In second place was that ceviche mancora. The sauce had the perfect spice. We asked for between a mild to a medium, and my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Our waiter was extremely patient with explaining every dish, giving us recommendations, and making sure we were comfortable with the spice level. He really spent extra time with us to explain everything and I really appreciated it. Overall I would highly recommend this spot if you're in the area.

    Anticuchos
    Cat N.

    Chicha is the name of a Peruvian beverage , I picked this restaurant over two other Peruvian ones in town The location is great, walking distance to Capitol Park Nice decor, plenty of seating areas, including an outdoor area with high tables I went for appetizers for diner , ordered the anticucho, taste is great, it just had too many elements over the pieces of meat Ordered salchipapas and it was kind of a let down, only accompanied by ketchup , no Peruvian sauce or even a lettuce garnish My pisco sour was prepared by my nice waitress, it was ok . There were other restaurant workers around the area where I was seated and they just had a not very welcoming attitude. Overall it has potential to be good , you can't go wrong w Peruvian food .

    Ceviche Tasting Experience
    Vicky T.

    Some of the best Peruvian food we have had in a minute and the SO said the best ceviche of 2026. We doordashed from our Airbnb and super happy. I got the yucca and plantains minus the tangy sauce to eat along side of leftovers. Delicious and I was happy. The SO got the ceviche experience and it was a lot, enough for two days worth of food for him. Flavorful and he loved all three. We are coming back to eat these in person at the restaurant our next Sacramento trip. Everything was well packaged for the to go order.

    Chicha morada

    This place exceeded my expectations. It was clean and well lit inside and they were playing Peruvian music which enhanced the experience. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was outstanding from start to finish. As a nice bonus, I received a complimentary chicha morada just for checking in through OpenTable--and it was refreshing and flavorful. The lomo saltado was a standout: perfectly cooked with tender, juicy meat and great seasoning. I ordered my ceviche spicy, and it definitely delivered a bold kick while still tasting fresh and vibrant. The yuca fries and plantains were also excellent--crispy, satisfying, and paired perfectly with their dipping sauces. Overall, everything felt thoughtfully prepared and full of flavor. I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu.

    This place is really good and as far as I can tell also authentic. The service was fantastic. Our waitress did a great job suggesting items to try and share. The food was very tasty and cooked with a lot of seasoning (very important for the taste buds). We've been to the other location in Roseville and this is just as good. Can't go wrong with the chicken pachamanquero or the paella!

    Marcel M.

    WOW. I pass by this place all the time and finally decided to give it a try. Blown away by flavor. Incredible. We got the ceviche, pork belly, and chicken pachamanquiero (?) I can't remember the name but holy smokes it was one of best things I've had in 2026. Absolute must order. I'm so glad we gave this place a try, it's in our dinner rotation now.

    We had an excellent experience here. We stared with the empanadas appetizer, the provolone cheese was my favorite of the 2 flavors they offered. Then we moved on to the yuca and plantain plate, which was very fresh and flavorful. They come with very tasty dipping sauces. For our entree we tried the chicken pachamanquero and the fettuccine. Both extremely different, but such flavor and vibrant dishes. The pachamanquero had so many different components to it, but everything tasted delicious together. I also really appreciate that all of our dishes came out of the kitchen very hot, literally steaming. The portions are actually rather large here so I think if you get an appetizer, their entrees are definitely shareable. To finish we got a few alfajores. I would definitely return for a special occasion. The restaurant is very modern inside, service was also great and attentive. For the price and quality you get of their food, this place is worth a try if you've been waiting to give them a shot!

    Sunday Buffet: Pasta Bar
    Danielle G.

    This review is for the monthly Sunday buffet only. This was my first time trying Peruvian food, and I honestly couldn't have picked a better place to start because their Sunday buffet made it so easy to explore a wide variety of dishes. There was so much to try, from fresh ceviche to hot dishes and even a pasta bar. I loved being able to sample different flavors and build a plate with a little bit of everything. It felt like the perfect introduction to a cuisine I hadn't experienced before. Everything I tried was flavorful and well prepared, and the buffet setup made the experience fun and approachable. If you're curious about Peruvian food or want a great way to try multiple dishes in one visit, the Sunday buffet is absolutely the way to go. I'm already looking forward to coming back and discovering even more from the menu.

    Arroz con mariscos
    Sheiva H.

    I came here on Valentine's Day with my date and overall had a really nice experience. We had made a reservation, but when we arrived they told us there would be about a 15-minute wait unless we wanted to sit at the bar on the patio. It was pretty cold outside, and they let us know the patio heater wasn't working. We decided to sit out there anyway. Luckily I had brought my coat, so it wasn't too bad. It even started sprinkling at one point, and we ended up moving ourselves further under the eave for cover. Despite the weather hiccups, the service really stood out. Our waitress was incredibly kind, attentive, friendly, and personable. She made us feel welcome and taken care of the entire time. The food was very good. I ordered the arroz con mariscos and absolutely enjoyed it. The flavors were rich and well-balanced, and the seafood tasted fresh. Even with the small inconvenience of the patio situation, I would definitely come back and would recommend this place. Great food and wonderful service made it worth it.

    Paella
    Emi R.

    Came here on a whim with a large group they accommodated us as a walk in. Staff was very friendly and the walk in lobby area was very nicely decorated. The waiter let me taste test some juice I've never heard of they said it was blue corn drink, very different in taste. I ordered the paella and it was SO good. It had a little bit of tomato flavor mixed with other spices. There was a good amount of octopus muscles and shrimp I also liked the small chopped veggies inside. I was able to eat the whole plate without feeling gross inside. My bf got the pork belly fried rice and it was also very flavorful.

    I'm so glad my friend recommended this restaurant because not only was it my first time having Peruvian food but this was absolutely delicious. The inside of this restaurant is very beautiful and spacious, the staff were very nice and welcoming, and our dinner was great. I ordered the ceviche Máncora and the Maracuyá and was in love. The ceviche was perfectly balanced between the fish, the limey spicy juice, and the sweet potato and corn. The Maracuyá was so good, fruity and sweet. This was an incredible meal, and my friend's as well. They got fettuccine primavera, pollo saltado, and pan con chicharron. For drinks they got Inca kola, chicha morada, and a cocktail (the name escapes me). Everything was great and we were all so satisfied with our choices. I will absolutely be back again, wish it was slightly less expensive. So good!

    Crema Volteada Flan Peruvian Style and a birthday cheesecake
    Mirna L.

    Our family visited Chicha on a Tuesday evening in January to celebrate my partner's birthday, after receiving a recommendation from someone at the Midtown Farmers Market. We're so glad we took their advice--everything from the food to the atmosphere exceeded our expectations. Appetizers Pork Belly Anticuchero - Crispy pork belly bites, anticuchera sauce, chalaquita sarsa, and ají amarillo aioli. Easily a 10/10. The appetizer comes with four pieces, and each bite was incredibly savory and packed with flavor. The pork belly was perfectly cooked and melted in your mouth. Jalea de Mariscos - Deep-fried calamari, shrimp, and fish with cassava fries, sarza criolla, and tartara sauce. Another standout dish. I loved the variety of seafood, and everything was fried to perfection. The pickled purple onions added the perfect bright, tangy contrast. Entrées Carapulcra - Tender pork belly slow-cooked in a richly flavored stew with dehydrated potatoes, spices, and a hint of peanuts, served with criolla sarza and steamed rice. My partner ordered this and was blown away by the depth of flavor and the tenderness of the pork. The spices were beautifully balanced and made this dish truly memorable. Pollo Saltado - Chicken stir-fried with onions, tomatoes, soy sauce, french fries, jasmine rice, and a fried egg. Two people in our group ordered this and absolutely loved it. They ate it so quickly that I didn't even get a chance to take a photo--it was that good. Mahi-Mahi Costero - Grilled mahi-mahi topped with braised mussels and clams in a warm ají amarillo ceviche sauce, served with steamed rice. This dish was praised for how perfectly the mahi-mahi was cooked--flaky and moist, never dry. The mussels and clams were fresh and flavorful, making the dish feel both comforting and elevated. Fettuccine a la Huancaína con Lomo Saltado - Wok-stir-fried beef tenderloin with onions and tomatoes, served over fettuccine in a creamy huancaína sauce. This was my dish, and it was hands down one of the best meals I've ever had. The beef was tender, flavorful, and not chewy at all. The creamy huancaína sauce paired beautifully with the pasta and vegetables--absolutely delicious. Dessert Crema Volteada (Peruvian-style flan) We ordered this for my partner's birthday, and the staff surprised us with an extra slice of cheesecake to celebrate--a thoughtful and much-appreciated touch. The flan itself was outstanding, easily one of the best we've ever had. The texture and flavor are slightly different from Mexican flan, and I highly recommend not skipping this dessert on your visit. Service & Ambiance Service was a perfect 10/10 from start to finish. Our host was incredibly kind, attentive, and patient, which made the celebration even more special. The restaurant itself is vibrant and beautifully decorated, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere that complements the food perfectly.

    Oh my gosh, I would come back in a heartbeat. The lomo saltado was magnificent! That and the ceviche samplers were our favorite by far. You should definitely get the plantain chips with the ceviche. It doesn't come with a lot, but they're worth it. The other dishes were extremely flavorful - not our favorite, but we were happy to eat it!! the place is pretty big and it wasn't too busy when we went on a Friday night. Staff were really sweet. This place deserves more credit!!

It is a substantial meal consisting of perfectly grilled steak, vegetables, rice, savory sauce and a fried egg. The steak was amazing, very flavorful, tender, high quality meat. The vegetables - tomatoes, peppers, onions and (perhaps an abundance of) French fries were cooked just right. The sauce was very flavorful. The rice was a good foil to that. The egg probably makes it authentic but was not the stand out. I would order this again in a second. I took half of it home. My wife had the pork belly appetizer and plantain side. She raved about it, especially the plantains. The sauce with the plantains was perfect. The sauce with the pork belly was quite spicy and she replaced it with another sauce that they had. She again would re-order this. Service was great - educational and polite. It was efficient, though the restaurant was a lull period so can't comment on busy times. The space was inviting. There is indoor and outdoor seating. They have a wine and beer bar, but not a full liquor license. We found this a delight and it will be one of our go to restaurants in mid town Sacramento.

One surprise was finding out this location doesn't have beer on draft. Apparently, the Midtown location does, so we may have to check that one out next time. Overall, a solid Peruvian spot and definitely somewhere I'd come back to try more dishes.

If I feel a cold coming on this soup is one of my favorite remedies.

Finally,…read moreafter what felt like forever waiting for them to come back around to the Capitol, I got to order the krunch wrap again. This time, I got al pastor. The two options are al pastor or chicken or for $1 extra, asada. If you can't stand those two options, sure go ahead and order with the asada, but if you could go either way, choose the al pastor! It was so tender, flavorful, and juicy. I've only had al pastor this delicious one other time and have been chasing down that flavor for almost two years now and am happy to say I have found it with Ahuevo's al pastor. On top of that, the tostada inside is so unbelievably crispy and light and the toasted cheese on the outside is so genius. Those are probably the two characteristics that I love the most about this menu item. A few things were different with my experience this time, but nothing that would garner a lower rating. First, it was served in a nacho style tray rather than a takeout box. Not the biggest fan because it's difficult to transport, but on a good day, find a bench and you'll be just as comfortable as if you ate it in your office. Second, there were significantly less tortilla chips included. I counted maybe like six... but! They're not really important to the dish, except for when some of the fillings inevitably fall into the tray and you're left with the tortilla chips to scoop them up (you don't wanna waste this stuff). Lastly, there was no side sauce like when I ordered the asada, but again, not necessary! I wasn't a big fan of the sauce to begin with when I tried it, because the flavors are so balanced in the krunch wrap by itself that it's just not needed. Ok, one other thing that was different- the fillings were so generous! Last time I was biting into some thick layers of tortilla, but this time they got the ratio on the money. If you can only get one thing from this truck, get this and you will not regret it whatsoever. And just to emphasize, the quality versus the price of the food is absolutely insane. With surging food prices, I was happy paying $12 and am looking forward to hopefully seeing them in front of the Capitol again.

You don't see a lot of Puerto Rican centric restaurants in California much less Sacramento so I was excited to try something different. We sampled a smorgasbord of different menu items but the two that really stuck with me and the ones that I will be back for were the Cubano sandwich and the chopped cheese. The beef in the chopped cheese was well seasoned and it felt light but filling at the same time. The tanginess of the pickle in the Cubano really balances out the heavier pork ingredients. The bread was so crunchy I could have made an ASMR video just based on the crunch. Both dishes were common if you are familiar with or spending time in New York, but it's really awesome that there's a place in Sacramento to go when you are craving a chopped cheese or Cubano. The restaurant was clean and the service was top notch. I wish other restaurants would leave a small carafe of soda at the desk so we don't have to ask for refills. There's a lot more of the menu to explore so I think another visit is in my future. I just hope I won't panic and just order the chopped cheese, but that wouldn't be the end of the world.

There was only a handful of people already seated so I'm not sure if reservations were really necessary. I'm a reservation kind of girl so if you can make reservations then usually I do. I have learned that not all sit down restaurants offer the opportunity to make reservations. Parking is tricky in midtown. When you do find parking it will be metered. Even on Sundays they charge for parking. We ended up parking down the street at 19th. Not a bad walk. Thankfully my husband dropped us off so we were exactly in time for our reservations and when he parked he joined us. Just a note, make sure you put plenty of money in the meter. For a us a party of 4 eating a leisurely dinner it took us approximately 2.5 hours. We never felt rushed. The menu is vast and there list of specials was as long as the mini menu they gave us. I wish they would write out the specials you can reference them as you decide what to get. A little computer print out would be perfect. We were a party of 4 and we all pitched in when it came to ordering. My two favorite Tapas was the stuffed giant tomato and Pulpo A La Gallegos ($16.95) . Octopus in adobo marinade, scalloped potatoes with pimento. I think I've had Octopus once before, but I can't recall exactly. This one was delicious. I'm glad Ed ordered it. It was tasty, tender, and not chewy. The tomato was stuffed with maybe a ham mixture, it was part of the specials menu so I didn't quite comprehend what it was exactly, but it sounded good so we ordered it. The Watermelon Gazpacho was also very refreshing and tasty. I would order a bowl if it was offered again. It was also one of the specials. We also ordered the Pechaga De Paso ($17.95), duck breast pan seared in a Sherry & fennel sauce with Swiss Chard. The Swiss Chard made a really nice accompaniment. I ordered the Colas De Brusseles (around $10). I am a trusted Brussels sport fan so I liked it, though not very exciting. We also ordered the Pan Y Aioli Julia's Blancas ($3.25) This bread service was a nice filler, but not as good as I remember it. For our Paella selection we ordered the Valenciana ($49.95) My favorite part of it was the tasty saffron rice. I found the chicken thighs and pork spareribs tasty too. The mussels, calamari, and shrimp were plentiful, especially the Calamari. We were worried that we should have ordered two, but with all the tapas we ordered one was plenty. I'd like to try their veggie one next time. We made a dinner plate of sword fish into a tapas for the table. It was also a special. It was virtually flavorless, just like I appreciate fish. I don't like the fishy flavor so many fishes give off so this one was perfect. It came with mini potato and tomato towers and a very tasty mango chutney that I really enjoyed with every bite. For dessert we had the Crema Catalina Con Naranja. ($8) My favorite part was cracking though the sugar and getting the piece of orange. We also had the Pastel Almendaras ($8). I was surprised it was made with almond meal versus almond flower. The almond meal made it meatier. I used to use almond meal to make a gluten free quick bread so I'm familial with the product. The cake was tasty and I enjoyed the honey and orange sauce topped whipped cream too. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. The out door seating looked very cute, but we were weary of bugs. I'm not a fan of getting eaten alive. We wait indoors and surprisingly it wasn't too cold inside. The restaurant is ornately furnished. The calla lily light fixtures was really nice. The restaurant was well lit and as the sun went over head they opened up the outdoor window coverings. This is a great special occasion restaurant. A great place to take family and friends to celebrate. The bigger the group the better so you have the opportunity to try multiple dishes. We came as a couple and weren't able to try as many dishes compared to the 4 of us dining.

    I visited Aioli Bodega Espanola in Sacramento, CA [1800 L St] on Thursday, 06/18/26, around 1:00 PM…read moreduring lunchtime. I came because, fortunately, I had a $12.00 birthday reward (powered by Toast Local) that was applied to the bill at the end. On the menu, I noticed that there was a lunch special called "Menu Del Almuerzo" that included a soup, an entree, and a dessert, priced at $24.00. For the entree, I requested the seafood stew. I must say that the soup and entree were both deliciously satisfying. The scoop of vanilla ice cream served at the end was a nice ending to the meal. As far as a beverage, I got the Nitty's Cider. It was a decent hard cider drink to enjoy. The server during my dining experience was Yolanda. I was appreciative of her hospitality, as it was beyond amiable and attentive. The service totally enhanced my visit. The restaurant had a lovely, inviting ambiance. It was a colorful, vibrant atmosphere met with amazing Spanish music playing. Overall, the entire experience was extremely positive from the food to the service. I highly recommend stopping by.
