We have not written a review for a while, but have to review Chicha's. It was amazing. I had the Classico Lomo Saltado for lunch. 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. read more

I'm a big fan of Peruvian food, so when I came across Chica I had to give it a try! The seafood paella was good, although it wasn't quite what I expected from a traditional paella. It had more of a risotto consistency, but the seafood was still tasty. The lomo saltado, though, was on point! Great seasoning, tender meat, and the fries were exactly what I wanted. 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. read more

We had dinner here on a whim as we were shopping in Roseville. Super friendly staff and a neat atmosphere. We started with the empanadas, they came in both chicken and beef, really nice! Then I had the Pollo Saltado and my wife had the Arroz Con Mariscos, both were amazing. We finsished it all, well ok, I finished mine and the remainder of my wifes. Highly recommended! read more

First time trying Peruvian food and this was such a great experience! I came with a group of 8 and everyone enjoyed their dish! The service was excellent! They were very kind and helped us with recommendations. They also told us they have a buffet once a month to try more of their dishes. I had the Lomo Saltado a La Antigua and the sauce in the dish was super flavorful!! The sauce was savory and paired well with the meat and rice. Lomo Saltado a La Antigua 10/10 read more

This might be my new favorite Peruvian spot in Roseville! I can totally see this place getting super popular soon. My friends and I came in on a Thursday around 5 pm and the place was empty, so we got seated immediately. It was decorated beautifully and the ambiance was nice and casual. For drinks, we tried the house sangria, chicha morada, and mango lemonade--solid choices to kick things off. Since it was still happy hour, we couldn't resist ordering some apps: chicharrón de pollo, yucas a la huancaína, and an empanada. I was expecting the chicharrón to be like pork rinds, but nope--this was even better! The sauces that came with the apps were also on point. For mains, we went with the ceviche trio and lomo saltado. Heads up: the lomo saltado portion is HUGE--definitely enough for two people to share. The ceviche trio was also tasty, with three different styles. Honestly, the flavor differences were subtle (besides one being a little more lime-forward and the seafood variety), but still super fresh and delicious. We ended on a sweet note with their Peruvian bread pudding topped with vanilla ice cream--just the right amount of sweetness to wrap things up. Overall, I loved everything about this meal, and I'll absolutely be back. Next time, I'm planning to hit their Sunday brunch buffet... I heard there's a whole dessert spread, and that sounds like heaven. read more

First time to visit this Peruvian restaurant, and on Christmas Day. Surprisingly, it was not busy. The service is slow, so not a place fora quick bite. Everything was excellent. We started with ceviche and fried plantains. Main dishes were Seafood paella, Lomo (beef) saltado plate, and Pollo (chicken) saltado plate. The Peruvian decor makes it feel authentic. Rolling reel of Peruvian vistas is also a nice touch. read more

Our Dining Out group went here for dinner tonight. There were 20 of us. Our servers, Ceecee and Lis were wonderful. The food was terrific and the restaurant is so nicely decorated. The only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is the food could have been hotter, but it was so good, most of us didn't care. read more

I was looking forward to visit this Peruvian restaurant and it wasn't what I thought. First they offered a buffet style which I did not choose. The majority of the group picked out dishes to share as appetizers and for the most part all were okay. I did enjoy the maduros and yuca frita. My main dish was too watery and I like my paella more pasty in texture. The service was fast and efficient but just not my favorite dishes. read more

Really good food! We went there at about 530 pm on a weekday, we were the first ones there! They have a nice wine selection and food options. We tried their ceviche platter of 3, i tried the chicha morada for drink, fried chicken, fried potato, the dessert (I can't remember the name). The staff - Diego, I believe, was really attentive. He was quick with everything taking our order and checking in on us. We did have to wait a while for our food, maybe like 30-40 minutes. It became busy quickly and they looked short staffed. The ceviche was good, but all three tasted very similar. read more

My first time having Peruvian food. I had no expectations and was simply looking forward to trying something new with my friends. There are two locations, Sacramento and Roseville. We visited the Roseville location for lunch. My first impression of the decor is very festive and colorful with Peruvian vibe. Maracua sour is a fruity twist on the Peruvian favorite pisco sour. The fragrant passion fruit made this drink a combination of fruity, sweet-tart, refreshing drink. 4/5 Trio Cevichero It's a sampler of 3 type of fish. They all kind of taste similar to me. I recommend ordering the taro chips. It balance out the mild fishiness. 3/5 Yucas & Platanos Fritos I like anything fried. I totally enjoyed this dish. The fried cassava sticks and fried sweet plantains dipped in the sweet creamy sauce was very good. 5/5 Pollo Saltado It's a Peruvian favorite! Wok stir-fried chicken with onions, tomatoes, soy sauce, french fries, jasmine rice and fried egg. I liked all the ingredients in this dish. The chicken was a bit chewy and way too much onions. 4/5 They also have a buffet on the last Sunday of each month but November is the last one of the year. It's a nice spread for $45 per person. I just don't eat that much to take advantage, at least not $45 worth. Friendly service. Our waitress was great at explaining the menu and attentive. read more

I just ordered arroz chaufa to go and it wasn't even close to Peruvian arroz chaufa. Soggy rice, no eggs, deep fried chicken?, the flavor is very bland. I wish I could get my money back. How dare a Peruvian restaurant sell this plate. Honestly, Panda tastes way better than this. I'm also questioning the condition of the chicken because it didn't taste fresh. read more

Came in on a Sunday with reservations for a quick bite and drinks as we killed time. Friendly staff and they were quick to get our orders. The maracuya is amazing, both the virgin and alcoholic option ! Would have this over and over, the michelada was okay. Great portions on the ceviche, but wish they offered yuca chips or some other chips to go with it. We also had some yuca fries and empanadas which were great and good portions. The ambiance is great for both casual or more intimate style. Pricing matched the portions and quality of the food. Would come back again to try more options. read more

We went on a Sunday for brunch around 11:30. We were the only customers there. It was nice that it was quiet, but I do hope they're getting enough traffic. The food was very good. One disappointment: Many dishes that we ordered came with pork belly, and I will say that the pork belly was drier/tougher than I'd like. If everything else wasn't so good, my rating would only be 3/5. I really hope this was an outlier or they fix it. That said, they have a buffet the last Sunday of each month, and we fully intend to come back for that! The service was attentive and friendly. read more

As a proud Colombian, I say this with clarity and respect: when it comes to culinary depth and execution, Peruvian cuisine operates on another level--and Chicha in Roseville makes that case convincingly. The yucca and plantains are a lesson in restraint--perfectly cooked and paired with complimentary sauces that elevate familiar staples into something memorable. Thoughtful, intentional, and deeply satisfying. The maracuyá sour is outstanding--bright, balanced, and layered. It easily outshines the pisco sour, which felt merely fine by comparison. Once you try the maracuyá, it becomes the benchmark. The pork belly sandwich sparked a generational divide. Our teenage son wanted a crispier outer layer for more crunch--fair critique. But eaten on its own, the pork belly delivers: rich, tender, and indulgent, letting the quality of the preparation speak for itself. Colombian food is soulful and comforting. Peruvian cooking, when executed this well, is technical, nuanced, and deliberate. Chicha brings that level of precision and confidence to the table without trying too hard. Shout-out to Chicha in Roseville for delivering a meal that respects tradition, showcases skill, and sets a high culinary bar. read more

I stopped in for dinner during a work trip and I will definitely recommend this to my coworkers. I've spent some time in Peru and this place was spot on for flavor and reminded me of some of the nicer restaurants I tried while in Cusco. The chicha morada (purple corn drink) may have been the best one ive ever had. Started with the Midtown Cebiche and finished everything off with a Pan con Chicharŕon. All in all I would recommend this to anyone in the mood for peruvian in the area! Server was very nice and attentive and the ambiance was great. read more

Our second meal here. Another Sunday dinner for us. This time, there weren't that many customers. We got seated near the bar. For drinks, we got the Chicha Morada (purple corn) and Pisco Sour. Both were refreshing for drinks that we've tried for the first time. For main dishes, our son chose the Bistec a lo Pobre (10 oz NY steak) with fries, fried sweet plantains, fried egg and fresh tomatoes. My wife opted for the Lomo Saltado a la Antigua, stir-fried tenderloin with onions, tomatoes and fried egg served on a bed of fries and rice. I got the Chupe de Camarones (Peruvian shrimp chowder) with aji pepper, quinoa and fried egg. Now, the obvious commonality with our picks for dinner is the fried egg. Maybe unusual for dinner but no complaints from this family. Desserts were son's and wife's preferences. Churro & Caramel Sticks and House Peruvian Bread Pudding to end our dinner. Our server was nice and helpful. He gave us two servings of the house bread with garlic butter. Full bellies out the door. Planning on returning for Happy Hour (Monday to Friday 3-6). read more

Hubby and I came here for a little date night and we loved it! It was very cute inside - had great decor, with nice music playing in the background, and they even had incense going as we entered that we thought was a nice touch. But let's be real, the food is where we should be most concerned about and oh my gosh, they knocked it out of the freaking park. Of course when we sat down and looked at the menu, the prices are what stood out. And not in a good way. Everything was very pricey but honestly, once we tried the food we were completely okay with it in the end. It's clear they use fresh ingredients and put a lot of love in their dishes. The sangria was the best we've ever had. The ceviche was absolutely unique and delicious, and I loved my shrimp and pork belly fried rice. My husband's steak frites were okay (the steak was very chewy). To top it off, the passionfruit and mango cheesecake was so good I kept scraping the plate with my fork to get a little bit more of that passionfruit syrup they add to it. Liz (I hope I spelled it right), was a delightful and quick server. Only thing I wish we were able to have was that bread they used to serve on the house (we saw on Yelp they previously did that but no one had it when we were there). We highly recommend this place, just come prepared to spend some $$. read more

I have been meaning to write this review for so long. We set up a lunch with a friend and chanced upon their last Sunday of the month buffets. We lucked out and got seats, but you need to reserve in advance. Other Sunday lunches are regular sit down meals. I felt especially fortunate because we hadn't tried Peruvian food before and this buffet style gave us an opportunity to try many dishes at once. This was a great fun meal, all dishes were absolutely delicious. Like many places in the burbs of Sacramento, not much to see on the outside, but lively and flavorful food on the inside. I am thinking about when we can go again. Also they will be opening a 2nd restaurant in the downtown area. So I look forward to trying that! read more
