This has to be one of my favorite Peruvian restaurant. Located in Pembroke Pines where La granja…read moreused to be. The restaurant is spacious and with lots of tables perfect for all group size. They have plenty of events like karaoke nights, happy hour and salsa nights. I came in on a Sunday for a late lunch and the service was excellent the entire time. We had both a mango and a passionfruit margarita which were very strong. We decided to order a few things to try and I have to say that everything was absolutely perfect. Choritos a la Chalaca had so much flavor 10/10. Both the grilled octopus and the anticuchos were so tender and flavorful. 10/10 And the seafood chaufa was also 10/10. I will definitely be back.

WHOA! I happened…read moreupon Origen by mistake. I searched "Sushi" on Yelp and found a place called "Sushi Sogo" which is now closed and has been replaced by Origen. There was no signage on the building but the door did say "Origen". I almost left but then another car pulled up and I asked them if this was a sushi spot and they said yes. We all walked into a very empty spot aside from the staff of 3. The place is small but very cute. The decor is modern and it appeared to be very clean and well maintained. I was handed the menu by a sweet lady whom I learned had just started working there 2 days ago so it was clear that she didn't know the menu that well but even still, she made suggestions based on what she was familiar with and what other diners seemed to enjoy. Upon her suggestion, I decided to go with the Magic Mushroom roll which was $19 and the Garlic Edamame which I believe was about $12 (don't quote me though). I was taking my food to-go so please forgive my photos. It was dark out and I was in my car. Let me say first...The Magic Mushroom roll does not LOOK appealing in the least so truthfully, just going off of sight alone, I had low expectations. The chef though, specifically asked me to please taste the roll first before I add wasabi, soy sauce or any other sauce. So when I got in my car, I got my wasabi/soy ready but I tasted the first piece without adding anything and WOW!!!!! It was literally amazing and honestly, I dipped into my sauce combo maybe once. The roll was phenomenal on its own! This roll has Panko breaded shrimp in the center, avocado, and some sort of cream on top with a smoky mushroom perched on top of the sauce. Then it's torched which adds to the smoky flavor that's out of this world!!! I will say that the sushi rice was a tad bit overcooked but that didn't stop me from thoroughly enjoying this roll. With Each bite, I was in awe! The panko crunch almost made me sing. This roll was delicious! The only thing I would have appreciated more was if it were a bit bigger. It was a 10 piece roll but each piece is small enough to pop in your mouth and if you're hungry you're gonna definitely eat more than one roll...so I'd say EASILY at least $50 per person for 2 rolls each, as I observed rolls and other menu items averaging about $24. This is a fusion place with very interesting menu items. There are also your traditional Peruvian dishes like Chaufa, Saltado and Ceviche. Though I didn't taste any of these items, there was a beautifully put together photo/video montage playing on a screen behind the sushi bar and the food looked like ART! You can tell that the chef is passionate about his dishes and if I had to judge what the rest of the food tastes like based on what I ate tonight, I'd go out on a limb and assume it's all delicious!!

Stumbled across this place in Hollywood completely by chance. I was craving Peruvian, searched…read morenearby, and this place popped up. I'll be honest, when we pulled in, we almost turned around. The restaurant looked like it was under renovation, and it was completely empty. But let this be a reminder: never judge a restaurant by first impressions. We gave it a shot, and I'm so glad we did. The woman taking care of us was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially with my wife's special requests. The service was warm and welcoming from start to finish. Now for the food... wow. The Lomo Saltado was great. The steak was cooked perfectly, the flavors were outstanding, and everything tasted fresh. Even the salad was excellent, which isn't something I usually rave about. Funny part. When we walked in, I thought, "Uh-oh... why is nobody here?" But as soon as we finished our food, it was like someone flipped a switch. The place started filling up, and by the time we walked out, it was packed. I guess we just arrived at the perfect time! It does look like they're expanding and renovating the restaurant, which is great to see. I'm not just going to tell you to try Kausitas.... I'm going to tell you to run there. Outstanding food, a hidden gem that's absolutely worth discovering. We'll definitely be back.

My family and I have frequented this restaurant many times because the food is genuinely very good…read more Unfortunately, after our most recent experience, we decided we won't be returning. We visited on Tuesday night as a party of 7 (5 adults and 2 children), and we were actually the only customers dining inside the restaurant. I had called ahead beforehand to confirm they were open and let them know the size of our party. When we arrived, the table was nicely prepared, which we appreciated. The food itself was great. That has never been the issue. What completely changed the experience for us was the automatic 25% gratuity added to the bill. When I politely asked why the gratuity was so high, I was told their structure is based on party size: 18% for 3+ people, 20% for 5+, and 25% for 7+. While the receipt does mention that parties of 3 or more are subject to a service charge, nowhere are those percentages clearly disclosed beforehand. A 25% automatic gratuity for a table of 7, especially in an otherwise empty restaurant with average service, feels excessive and misleading. For context, I am not someone who refuses to tip. I regularly tip 18-20%, even when service is mediocre, because I understand this is how servers make a living. But customers should be allowed to decide whether service warrants 25%, not have it automatically imposed without clear transparency. What made it worse was the dismissive attitude we received when simply asking about it. Again, the food was good. That's what makes this disappointing. But good food alone does not make up for poor customer experience and lack of transparency. Will not be returning.

From the jump, everything hit. The appetizers came out fast and piping hot. Their nachos platter is gigantic! Drinks? Ice cold and on point. The salad was huge, fresh and flavorful. And let's talk about that dolphin francais--absolutely incredible. Mahi-Mahi with a delicious lemon butter sauce. Ribs are tender and tasty. But what really surprised me? The sweet potatoes. Hands down the best I've ever had. No exaggeration. And don't leave without getting the rolls--they're a must. Oh, and yes... they have happy hour (starting at just $5.99). You really can't beat that. Martini was perfect and beer was cold and tasty too. Now here's the insider tip: ask for Sherry. Seriously--best waitress we've ever had.

I ordered a pisco sour that was perfectly made. My appetizer was a fish and shrimp ceviche: the leche de Tigre was soooo fresh and well balanced, I absolutely loved it. Main course I was pleasantly surprised to see there was an option of a plate with half tallarines verdes and half lomo saltado (the menu says "steak" and you can choose how you'd want it); I've never seen this kind of split-a-plate before so I thought I'd be perfect because you get to try two things, it's a great value. Both the tallarines and the lomo were flavorful. I just wished there was some way to keep the juices from the lomo away from the tallarines because at the bottom of the plate the pasta tasted like lomo, not like pesto hahaha -still, yummy-. Against by best judgement and my capacity I ordered dessert and the dulce de leche was a little too sweet for me (I couldn't finish it) but I ordered a coffee too, that helped. The staff was on point; I loved they were always checking on us (and the place was almost full) and I also noticed they use intercoms so they are always making each other aware of what a table needs. The owner (or manager, not sure) is very sweet and greeting all customers. The bar service seems to be tons of fun, I noticed a few couples having drinks and enjoying the evening. The music was 80s-90s: I truly enjoyed it. I definitely will be coming back. I recommend!

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.

We were in the Hollywood area and on the hunt for Peruvian food. This restaurant popped up and we…read moredecided to give it a try. It's in a very teeny strip mall, which did not have any parking spots. But across the street is a bigger strip mall with lots of parking. So, we easily found a spot there. The dining room is nicely decorated and clean. (The bathroom was spotless.) We were first greeted by a young lady who did not speak any English. I guess I asked too many questions (in Spanish) because she gave us to the other waitress (who spoke English, but we still communicated in Spanish). I tried to order a Pollo Saltado with Tacu Tacu but was told only the Lomo Saltado could be combined with the Tacu Tacu (still not sure why). Anyway, we ordered a fish ceviche, a Tallarin Saltado de Pollo, and a Lomo Saltado. The ceviche was decent. It was nicely seasoned and lemony. However, I struggled with a few fatty pieces of fish. The Tallarin Saltado de Pollo came covered in raw scallions (eek for my raw onions allergy), which I painstakingly picked off. The waitress offered to bring me a new meal when she saw what I was doing. I declined. I guess I didn't think I needed to warn about raw scallions when I asked for my onions to be well-cooked because I am allergic to raw onions. However, it was very good. The chicken was just right, not too dry. And I had enough leftovers for lunch the next day. The Lomo Saltado, too, was tasty. But the beef was very chewy because it was overcooked. We liked that both meals had a good flavor without being too salty (a problem we have with a lot of Peruvian restaurants). The eatery seats about 40 and was half full with 1 table of 10 and 5 tables of 2. I am guessing there was a chef in the kitchen. But the two young ladies had a difficult time keeping up and service was slow. One person at the large table got their meal so late they packed it to go home. When we were done with our meal, the waitress brought us two complimentary desserts. They were Mazamorra Moradas (a gelatin-type dessert with the purple fruit and other fruits in it). It was refreshing. I think it was offered because of the raw-onion fiasco. Luner for two with ceviche and two meals was $75. The food here was decent and there was even live music (though a tad loud), but the slow service was a detriment.
