I had the Peruvian Shrimp Lo-Mein last night and the salchipapas and they were one of the best meals I've had in Tucson. I highly recommend this food truck to anyone! read more

Diamond in the rough! This place is in the same parking lot as Panda Express in the south side. But immediately when I walked in, the server greeted me and presented me with a sampler of traditional Peruvian drinks. The service was great, the food was amazing, and price was very reasonable (lunch special) Don Pedro's is my new lunch spot. It's the only non-Mexican, non-fast food lunch option in the area. Well done Don Pedro's! read more

My friend and I went for lunch at this cheery restaurant. We ordered two of the lunch specials and some unusual fruit drinks on the menu. The food arrived quickly. o Overall the service was quick and attentive. The quinoa soup was a pleasant surprise and our dishes had flavors I haven't tasted before. There were some unusual salsas in squeeze bottles on the table. That said, I would have liked a little more flavor in each of those dishes (soup and entrees). The food tasted like what your Peruvian mom would make for the family and so, wasn't very exciting. Some of the other comments have said the portions were small - I don't get that. Also, people said the location is in a bad part of town, and yes, it's in a Hispanic area, but so what? it's on a busy corner quite visible to all. I think with a little tweaking, this could be a unique and tasty place to eat. read more

I'm pretty new to Peruvian food, but I'm definitely sold on this place. I had the lomo saltado (not entirely adventurous, I know) and it was delicious. Flavorful and a generous helping. The only other Peruvian place I've been to is Inca's and while theirs is good, the portions are considerably smaller. The main drawback to Don Pedro's is that it's so far away from central city, but I'll definitely be looking for excuses to come back. read more

I do not recommend anybody to dine at this place, service was poor and dinner was poorer. It took 1hr to get two freaking small burritos and the funny thing was we were the only ones at this restaurant. read more

I recently visited Don Pedro's for lunch with a friend and had a fantastic experience. I ordered their lunch special #1 and added the light greenish colored table condiment to the rice. All I can say is that I've been craving those delicious flavors ever since and am plotting my return very soon. I liked the Inca Cola which is a different tasting Peruvian soda served from a can into a glass. The service was quick and unobtrusive since my friend and I had a lot to catch up on. The serving sizes were more than I could finish, but not quite enough to take a box home. I think the price (with tip) was less than $15. The music was a mix of classic Latin/Caribbean songs. I will definitely be returning and bringing a friend. It's nice to add another option and some variety to the food options here in Tucson. read more

Quick service, good food, large portions and friendly service. The only reason I didn't give them 5 stars was because the veggies were a little underdone and $9.99 for a lunch "special" was a little more than what I was expecting. Overall I'd come back. The food had interesting flavors and you do get a lot for your money. read more

Had the fries delivered with a side of chicken the chicken tasted too much like condiments did not enjoy it at all I couldn't get past that first bite I was very sad that I had spent money on the food so I had bad food and no money to get other food. The fries weren't bad but they were a bit soggy by the time they got to me. read more

The food at this restaurant is superb! My favorite dish is Chupe de Camarones, but everything else that we've tried has always been delicious. And for a before dinner cocktail, try the pisco sours. The ambience is somewhat brittle and off-putting, but the food more than makes up for it. Try it today! read more

Food was good but do not ever bring out the main dishes while I am still eating appetizers. Barely minutes into our appetizers the hapless waiter brought the mains. We asked him to hold them in the kitchen till we finished appetizers. Of course the mains came back cooled down. I had the waiter reheat mine and it came back with the chicken dried out. Probably microwaved it. The waiter was no where to be seen after that for at least 25 minutes. Getting the waitress attention working the other side of the restaurant was nearly impossible since she was barely present. Thus our water glasses were empty for way too long. When the waiter finally appeared he was apologetic saying he was helping out in the kitchen. Say what? So you abandon your paying customers? He was young and inexperienced so I hope he learned his lesson with no tip. read more

I have to say I've been here about 5-6 times and it has been the best Peruvian place I've been to. My daughters friends father owns the place and its really good! Make sure when you go to get the tallarin saltado w/ beef. Delish!! read more

As excited as I was to have a Peruvian restaurant in Tucson, I have to say I walked away a little disappointed. The food was delicious at first, but becomes a bit overwhelming with the sour flavor of lime, which seemed to be in everything. The prices are also a bit steep for what you get. Even with lunch specials, you can easily spend almost $20 per person including tip. read more

We enjoyed this quite a bit. Had the lomo saltado. Tasty but not as good as my favorite places in cali. Will definitely come back.

Went last night with my wife and liked it very much, more spicy than Mexican. Mostly seafood, I had the stew and wife had a small paste. I'm going back but wish it was closer to me. Not a that cheap considering the location but it was worth it. read more

All six of us had very fine, tasty meals, good service, very satisfied.

We tried this restaurant based on a Groupon coupon and we will be back. The waiter made some great recommendations and the food was spicy, rich, and flavorful. We especially liked the Papa Rellena. The service was good, the atmosphere appealing, and the bathrooms were clean. This was a really good experience. read more

I had never had Peruvian food before, but when a Peruvian friend and I went to the Sculpture Festival last April, the food truck was there. I love trying new things, especially with someone who knows what's good. I had the Peruvian paella and it was awesome! My friend had something more meat and rice traditional. She said it was excellent. We're looking forward to attending the festival again and hoping the food truck will be there. read more

First time eating Peruvian food and I wasn't disappointed. The food and service were both excellent. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for something different in Tucson! read more

Actually the food, drinks and service were good. They have lot of very interesting drinks but at $50 for 2, it is pricey. I would not go back because they would not honor an Entertainment coupon. read more

I got a reddy long hair in my broccoli con carne #6... it was nasty and the waitress did not even apologize or offered me a free meal to make their customer happy. Not my favorite restaurant anymore. read more

This was one of the best meals I ever had! The customer service was outstanding! Not only did our waitress check on us but all the waitresses would check on us! read more

My wife and I tried Don Pedro's with a Groupon. It's a strip mall restaurant, but it has a nice atmosphere. The service was good and the food was very good. I'd never had Peruvian food before, but found it quite tasty. We'll definitely come back again. read more

The food was delicious, of course actual Peruvian food form Peru is better. The atmosphere was friendly, the portions were big and the price range was good. Service was also good. I spent $36 for an appetizer, two entrees and a drink, including the tip. I love this place and i definitely want to go back read more

I live in Peru and Don Pedro is my uncle and even though I have not visited his restaurant yet, I can tell you most of his dishes are a 100% percent Peruvian (One of the finest cuisines in the world). The Lomo Saltado is one of the most famous dishes here in Peru as well as the Seco de Carne or Cordero (beef or lamb). I eat the Papa Rellena and the Causa Limeña (with either Chicken or Tuna ) at least once a week. Now regarding the price I actually think it's inexpensive. You would easily spend $35.00 per person in average at any decent restaurant here in Lima, Peru. I am only giving him 4 stars now but once I try his food I'm sure I'll give him 5. read more

This place just opened in Sep. of 2010. I have never had Peruvian food so this review is based more on price, taste, quality, quantity, and customer service. This place scored 5 stars on every category but price. The quality and taste was great. Quantities were just right and the customer service was excellent. I did think they were a bit overpriced. I went their for lunch and got a plate priced in the middle ($10.95) and drink ($2.50-free refills). With tip I paid $16.50!!! I can get the same quality of food (not Peruvian) somewhere else and pay the same price for 2 people!!! I did like their food and customer service but I am not convinced in going back because of their high prices... Maybe if it didn't have the feel of being at a fast-food place or if they incorporated the "Pei Wei style" where you pay in the front, they bring your food, and you get your own drink. It already looks like it by having a front counter with menu on the wall and soda fountain right in front of you. Even then though they might have to reduce the price on every single item by at least $2... read more

I had an enjoyable dinner out with friends here last night. Since they had been to the restaurant before, they advised that one dish was enough for two people. They were right (which was kind of a relief when we saw the prices for the meals -- I'm used to paying the "working man's" prices at the Mexican restaurant across the street)! We ordered the house special (fried rice with a medley of steak, chicken, and shrimp -- $16). The one order satisfied both of us and we had leftovers to take home. The rest of the experience? The server was attentive and the atmosphere was okay (when quickly reviewing their website beforehand, I got the impression that it would be a bit fancy, but this was not the case -- I would have been more appropriately dressed casually than in my little black date night dress). All in all, a decent meal with great friends! Here's what I learned though: I am partial to Mexican dishes as I found myself longing for chips, salsa, bean and tortilla staples that I felt were missing from this meal. read more

I had driven by this place a couple of times on my was to the VA hospital. We were looking for something different and decided to stop in. WOW was it awesome. The food was OUTSTANDING, the service was impeccable and with the lunch menu we thought very reasonably priced. We had a chicken dish, beef dish, fried rice and dessert. Every dish was wonderful. The soup that came with the lunch special was out of this world. I think next time a big bowl of the soup. The ice cream was light, tasty and didn't make us feel too full. I will be telling every one I know about this gem, and we told them to reserve a table for us at least once a month. read more

The atmosphere leaves a lot to be desired (the decor is kind of blah, and there's a television), but the food is generally quite tasty, the prices are reasonable, and the service is friendly. Nowhere near as good as Candela's was, but certainly worth checking out if you like Peruvian food. read more

This is a South Tucson gem! Now a favorite lunch spot for me and my coworkers, Don Pedro's never fails to disappoint. Their customer service is on point with both ordering in and out. Not to forget their current Lunch Special which is worth every penny. People should be flocking here for food, it's a culinary adventure for any Tucsonian looking for something a little different. read more

We went and ordered Jalea and it was basically fish minus the chips not the authentic peruvian Jalea we expected. So we told the waiter and she took it away and I got ceviche. It was ok nothing I would buy again though. The kicker was when we got our bill they charged us for the jalea even though i didnt eat it and the waiter took away. The owner then came out and tried to convince my wife who was born and raised in peru and moved here when she was 17 that the jalea was authentic and I since I odered it I needed to pay for it. I then asked for the jelea since I was going to have to pay for but they threw it out. To sum it up just dont go here. read more

I am Peruvian and so had to go eat there. The food is, well, marvelous! Esp the ceviche, the antecuchos (but those are on and off) and the lomosaltado. My husband loved the papa rellena and by the way the aji actually tastes like aji! love the Lucuma icecream, authentic D'Nofrio icecream and the pisco sours are just like home...however, the prices are NOT just like home. EXPENSIVE!!!! that would be the reason it's a once in a year place for the middle class in Tucson I guess. sigh...Much much much cheaper in Peru! read more

I am very sorry to report that the manager (I believe her name is Juliesa?) today made a decision that will forever lose the business of 5 diners, their families, and anyone else they talk to. We all eat out regularly and would have loved to come back to our busy offices and households to say we had a wonderful experience, but that was not the case. Here is the story: at this table of 5, we ordered 2 dinner entrees and 3 lunch menu items. We presented our entertainment book coupons when we arrived and the server took both of them without problem. When we received our bill we were informed that we could only use one per table and that we could not use substitute a free lunch item menu for a free dinner item, even though the lunch item menu is substantially less expensive. The manager preferred to be very strict with the rules instead of thinking about building strong relationships with customers who spend A LOT of money eating out. When I told her that because of this we would not be coming back, she said, "I'm fine with that." I wonder if the owner is also fine with that? read more

Happened to see this place on the way to the VA and glad I stopped in. If you haven't been exposed to the awesomeness of Peruvian green sauce you need to come down and try it out. Came during lunch. Wasn't packed or very busy. Was able to find a seat quickly. Decor in the restaurant is much nicer than the outside. It's not very big so seating large parties might be difficult. I had a Peruvian style chicken fried rice served with a cup of soup and 2 dinner rolls for $9. It was filling and not that bad but most menu items are above $12. I don't know how dinner portions vary from lunch ones. Service was very fast, I'd barely started my soup when they brought out the main entrees. Had some Arroz con Leche for dessert a rice dessert with cinnamon. Reminds me of a similar Filipino dish made with chocolate. On the whole, I liked the place and think it's worth revisiting. I would like to come during dinner to try their beef and seafood dishes with a larger party. And man... The green sauce! Telling you trying it out just for that makes it worth it at least once! read more
