I made lunch reservations at El Embarcadero for a going-away lunch for a good friend after hearing…read moreso many wonderful things about it, and I'm really glad we went. We started by sharing the scallops as an appetizer, and they were absolutely delicious--one of my favorite parts of the meal. They were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. I wasn't really hungry, so I ordered the leche de tigre and it was incredibly satisfying--fresh, juicy, bright, lemony, and full of citrus flavor. I especially loved that fresh lime taste; it made the dish feel so vibrant. My friends ordered a few different entrées, and I got to try a little bit of everything. Everything looked amazing, but I especially loved the shrimp risotto. For dessert, the maracuyá cheesecake was completely out of this world--so divine. It paired perfectly with an Americano coffee and was the perfect way to end the meal. The one disappointment for me was the sangria. We all shared some, and unfortunately it tasted watered down, more like diluted wine than a true house-made sangria. I was really hoping for something fresher and more flavorful. Overall, I had a lovely experience. The food and dessert were definitely the highlights, and I would absolutely come back. Next time I'd love to try one of their cocktails and order a full entrée of my own.

It's in a little corner of the plaza but parking is easy and the place is clean, colorful and spacious. We were sat easily as a party of 4 on a Saturday at 2p. The service was great, the staff was friendly and super attentive. I started with a maracuya sour, one of my favorite drinks of all time and not super common to find. It was so good, made perfectly. To eat, i was craving tallarines -- sadly, they don't have that here. I pivoted to splitting a ceviche tradicional as an appetizer and a Lomo saltado. I ordered the steak medium rare. The ceviche was good, they really skimp on the choclo and sweet potato though. The Lomo came out overcooked. My companion's did come out medium rare, maybe they gave him mine, but why would they ever make them as well-done as mine came out i don't know. So they remade it for me. It was better but really nothing special. For ~$30 a plate i wanted a little more. The menu could have had more options in my opinion too, but it was still a nice lunch and the friendly service helped make it better.

On Thursday I had the crispy chicken bao buns which were phenomenal, and the Lomo saltado poke. Never thought a blend of lomo and wakame would taste that good!! The manager Rafcel, was super nice and gave us recommendations. Very nice place and amazing taste on day one. Day two: we visited with my family to try some more plates. Parking is easy as they're located in a plaza. The AC was broken so not great but it didn't impact us much. Our server was Valentina, amazing service. She basically knew the entire menu by heart and gave us recommendations on each of the different cuisines. We tried: - queso fundido amazónico- the menu sells it better than what it actually is. Missing more protein. - lomo tacos pastor - good taste and pineapple gives them a nice touch- i think it had a relish like sauce I didn't like much. - chicken tacos- good but not great - leche de tigre: absolutely amazing - ceviche ají amarillo: perfect loved it just order - dessert- Baboon- amazing curcuma icecream with Dulce de leche and fried bao bun- wow- must order 4 stars as the tacos/ price was not up to par. We had 2 beers, mint lemonade and 3 cokes- We spent a total $200 for 4 of us. I think a bit pricey but not crazy Overall could be a 3 star; however the service brought it back to 4

I have never been so disappointed after spending so much money at a Peruvian restaurant…read more I'm a foodie, and I have no problem paying $$$$ for a meal if it's worth it. One thing about me: I'm absolutely obsessed with Peruvian cuisine. Unfortunately, this place completely missed the mark. The service was terrible from the start. They use electronic tablets as menus, but mine was dead. I had to wait nearly 10 minutes just to get someone's attention and receive a replacement. That's just the beginning. My food arrived before my drinks, and I had to repeatedly ask for a bottle of water and a spoon. I ordered the chaufa, and it was incredibly oily. It didn't even have the proper color or flavor you'd expect from a good Peruvian fried rice. I would've taken a photo, but by that point we had already waited so long that I just wanted to eat. To make matters worse, the dish was mostly rice with maybe 10 pieces of chicken scattered throughout. I left half of it untouched. I also ordered ceviche and specifically wanted shrimp and fish. Instead, they brought me fish only and somehow upsold me to a different fish that I never asked for. Of course, I didn't find that out until the bill arrived. Overall, it was overpriced, disappointing, and nowhere near worth the money. Save yourself the frustration and spend your hard-earned money somewhere else.

We started out with some eggrolls and special wonton soup. The eggrolls were okay but the soup, it was fantastic! Next we had a small order of special fried rice, it was enough for four people. But more important was how good it was. We also beef and veggies over noodles. Also an enormous amount and very good. We finished it off with a rather large plate of fried chicken in a lemon sauce. The best thing about it was the lemon sauce. The flavor was incredibly good. Leftovers! We plenty of them.

Located in the Home Depot plaza at the northwest corner of University Drive and Sterling Road, this…read moreis a spot with many retail stores. So, there is lots of parking. The restaurant is small, with room for about 40 diners. It's bright and airy and on a Monday afternoon at lunchtime the World Cup games blasted on the TV and the restaurant was about half full. It features lunch specials for less than $20 that include an appetizer, entree, and beverage. There was one main server and what seemed like an owner, who also was serving. She served us and though she lagged at times, she was very congenial. Hubby had the lomo saltado lunch special and paid extra for a ceviche appetizer. I love tacu tacu, so I had a pollo saltado with the rice dish. Both meals were delicious. We especially liked that they weren't too salty (often a problem with Peruvian saltado dishes). And I asked to have my onions cooked well and they obliged. My onions were perfect, cooked but with a slight crunch. I was a bit disappointed in the tacu tacu. I thought it was a tad dry. The gravy did help, but I didn't have enough and didn't think it possible to ask for more. Next time I will ask for extra gravy and stick with plain rice. They charge an extra 4% to use a credit card. (Something that has been cropping up a lot in restaurants.) We managed to dig out $65 cash between us to pay the bill. I guess we have to start carrying more cash, or pay the extra charges.

The service was slow understandable because Of the holiday. My husband and I ordered the pescado macho, was awful they just put 2 shrimp 3 mussels and some Octopus, then they put a piece of fried fish that was cut in half on top barely no sauce and the rice was hard. The ceviche was ok we have had better there. They kept trying to fill us up with the corn, that personally gave me a stomach ache. Not a good experience.
