    This was my second time at El Chullo and my first time bringing friends to try Peruvian food. I'm a big chaufa lover, and theirs is excellent. The portion sizes are huge, which made pricing reasonable. We had the yuca frita as an app and it was crispy, filling, and really well done. We tried the pisco sour as well, and it didn't disappoint. Even though they seemed busy, the service was smooth and quick. I also love the art on the outside. It adds a lot of character to the place. My friends really enjoyed their meals, which made the experience even better. I wish I could bring this spot back with me to Indiana!

    Peruvian food is amazing and the food we had here was absolutely delicious! Everyone was very friendly, greeting us and saying bye as we left. They brought us out each our own little bowl of roasted choclo to enjoy while waiting for our food. They took our order and got our food out quickly and we were checked on once or twice after that and then left alone to enjoy the meal. The lomo saltado was sooo good and so was the aji de gallina. The passion fruit cheesecake was served with a scoop of coconut ice cream on top and it was one of the best desserts I've ever had in my life. They also have several cocktails with classics as well as some on their own unique inventions. Their chicha morada recipe was great, very sweet and spiced. I also loved the space. Very open and colorful with cool Peruvian decorations!

    They moved from, 7th Street to this Melrose location, so happy to seem them back, with a more spacious and accessible spot. All here is amazing, don't forget the alfajores, yum!!

    Amazing Peruvian food!! We loved the restaurant and the decor. The service was exceptional. We highly recommend this place.

    The staff were friendly and had our table decorated for our birthday dinner. The food was great (although the sauce was a bit salty). I had the noodles with mushroom, and while I enjoyed it, the noodles didn't soak up the sauce like the rice saltados. The green sauce was a great spice topper and they brought us extra. I would've preferred the yucca fries to be cut thinner as they were a bit dense and not as crisp as I'd prefer. The Peruvian ice cream had such a unique flavor and the strawberry ice cream was fresh with chunks of strawberries. The patio was dog friendly and parking was very easy as they had their own lot.

    Local restaurant that serves Peruvian food, we got the Empanadas filled with Mozzarella Cheese & Ham and Ground Beef, Pollo Saltado (Chicken strips sautéed with red onions, tomatoes, cilantro. Served with white rice & fries), daily special of the roasted chicken and fries, Alfajor (Cornstarch and flour cookies with Manjar Blanco in the middle, topped with powder sugar), & Passion fruit juice! The service was outstanding and the place is clean, cute, and inviting!

    We couldn't wait to try this Peruvian restaurant for our craving for Lomo Saltado, didn't disappoint at all, close to perfection. The meat was sautéd deliciously tender enough yet the soy sauce was way more than desirable which made it saltier. We enjoyed the causaus as well, both pollo and shrimp, visually appealing too! The service is friendly and ambience caters to families, big groups and most importantly any type of celebratory occasions. Definitely, a revisit is already planned...

    first time trying peruvian food. the drinks were good. i enjoyed my tiger milk shrimp. i was expecting the food to be spicy but it was not, still good though. we had the octopus appetizer and also tried another one that was good too. service was good.

    The BEST Lomo Saltado I've Ever Had! I'm a self-proclaimed connoisseur of Lomo Saltado -- it's my favorite dish, and I go out of my way to try it at every Peruvian restaurant I find. This place absolutely blew me away. At first glance, I thought it might be a little dry since there wasn't much sauce, but one bite in and I was hooked. The meat was perfectly cooked, so tender and full of rich, savory flavor, with just the right amount of juice soaking into the fries and rice. It was pure perfection -- easily the best Lomo Saltado I've ever tasted. The restaurant itself is adorable, cozy, and welcoming, and the staff couldn't be sweeter. You can tell they really care about the food and their guests. I'm honestly tempted to come back tomorrow just to have it again -- or maybe bring my grandchild and explore more of their amazing Peruvian dishes. Do yourself a favor and try this place -- you'll thank me later!

    I can't wait to return to this restaurant to experience more authentic Peruvian delicacies. My favorite dishes are in this menu. I tried two things for the Jan 25' ISCUYE... Empanadas - 5s Somo Saltado - 4 s I can't wait to return to try the pollo a la brasa. The restaurant is in a very convenient location in midtown in the heart of the Melrose neighborhood. the staff was very accommodating and friendly. Service was 5s. My return factor:100%

    We were introduced to this place by a local Americana-Peruvian friend. It's definitely a good place for Peruvian food -- which is delicious! We ordered Pisco Sou, Ceviche Clasico, Puloo A La Parrilla, Empanadas, Yucas Fritas, Anticuchos, and Delicia De Maracuya (dessert). We shared all dishes as a family style to taste all the tasty dishes -- definitely a good way to start out. We learned that this location, owned by the son, is related to the other Peruvian on 7th Ave (same name by the father). This location is newly opened and offered a more playful menu, not as traditional dishes. We have dined at the 7th Avenue location a few times. This is new location for us. We throughly enjoyed our experience here. The parking situation is a great improvement here. Cheers & happy dining.

    We had a great time celebrating my Husband's birthday here. The food and atmosphere was the perfect choice. They even have a fun birthday dancing man come out with sparklers to sing happy birthday and bring a little birthday plate. It's fun! The service was great. I definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back!

    What an amazing evening, beautifully curated with so many thoughtful details. Only downside is that…read morefor some reason Apple maps was not accurate to finding the location and parking was a challenge as it is right on Roosevelt Row. However as soon as I found it and immediately after entering Pretty Penny I was transformed to the cutest little restaurant. I was greeted immediately and had made a reservation so even though my friend hadn't arrived yet, they sat me down. They instantly offered water and menus (food and cocktail). I noticed that the menu seemed very small and the dishes were shareable -- I don't eat meat so I was hoping my friend wouldn't mind sticking with fish and seafood (which she didn't). As soon as I got to my table there was the cutest sign that said welcome to Sarah Sherman and guest -- it was such an adorable and personal touch, I loved that! As soon as my friend got there we immediately both ordered the cold brew old fashioned -- we thought about the espresso martini but this just sounded too good to pass up -- and we were not disappointed! This drink was so tasty and strong. We immediately ordered the bread (sourdough boule) to soak up some of the alcohol as well as some oysters and the salsa. The oysters were so well spiced and were absolutely delicious. But the bread, the bread, the bread -- the server mentioned that it took almost 9 months to develop the bread recipe and it served. It was the best bread and butter that I think I have ever had! The salsa was good but probably was my least favorite of everything and it was still super yummy. We then moved on to the octopus tostadas. Sometimes octopus is not my fav -- it can be too chewy but this was so amazing and incredibly flavorful. It was starting to be my favorite dish until we ordered the Hamachi -- OMG!! Talk about a mouth orgasm-- both my friend and I were yummming it up -- but seriously this bite was so complex with different flavors coming up with every chew -- it has coriander candied peanuts, fermented pineapple, avocado, pickled fresno, toasted coconut and aji amarillo yogurt -- The server mentioned that this was the chef's least favorite dish which I totally do not understand because this was off the charts in my book. We also tried the earl gray whiskey sour, which was light and delicious, and ended with the shrimp toast and the espresso martini. By the way the toast on the shrimp toast was like a little fried dough triangle -- sooooo gooood! The martini was good but the cold brew old fashioned really stole the spotlight for me. Other details I loved that just elevated the experience: Purse hook (very important to me), the little trays for your utensils, metal coasters, incredibly attentive servers, fantastic music, great ambiance and the cutest was the penny they put on top of your check. So cute -- was not expecting such an enjoyable all around experience!! Will be back 1000%!!!

    It was pretty good but certainly not worth the titular pretty penny price--and we didn't even get…read morethe recommended 8 dishes, which is, like, the entire menu. To start, the menu is a bit puzzling. It's kind of like a handful of Asian-inspired dishes, a handful of Mexican/South American, and a handful of French or New American. But there's not enough of each to chart a course through one type of cuisine. So, basically you're gonna have a cultural melange meal. Hamachi crudo was really good and fairly unique. The halibut was excellently prepared but not particularly innovative in any way I could tell. Zucchini had goat cheese, which wasn't immediately clear from the description, so I didn't enjoy the rude surprise I got when I took my first bite, and didn't eat anymore, as I really despise the stuff. So that was a waste. Not a dig on the dish, just a personal thing I wish I had more notice of. There were other issues though. The wine list was exceptionally small, They were out of the bread, which is supposedly a must-try. And then we were going to get the steak but the folks next to us advised against it, showing their cut that had zero fat. They said it was leather. On that point, the tables are SUPER CLOSE. Like, a couple inches apart. You hear everything and almost can't avoid getting entwined into others' conversation. We liked the people we were next to, but be aware that it's an unintentionally awkward communal experience that's not well-suited to a date night. The service was pretty good, they put out a nice printed greeting with the reservation name, and give you a sparkling wine toast. But considering the price and overall experience we had, I'd pass and not come back.

It was way too much and it ruined the sandwich completely the meat in the sandwich at least was really good. It's just a coleslaw. Definitely ruined it funny enough I happen to look at somebody else who had caught in coleslaw, but on their tacos instead, and I was seeing the guy draining his taco because there was so much coleslaw juice they really need to fix that and then they got rid of the lobster bisque soup which was really one of the best things they had what a huge letdown there

But our server was great and he would have gotten the 20% at least... I don't know why I didn't take pictures except for mine. Probably because I was so freaking annoyed. Well for a start Fruit De Mer, $37.95 for shrimp, crab fingers and oysters. Shrimp was OK, they weren't pealed probably so I bit into small shells few times, crab fingers was super tiny with almost no meat to little meat, little fishy, not tasty, oysters.. two big and two tiny ones. Big ones I'm guessing Louisiana oysters, small one I have no idea. I kid you not small ones looked like ones you get at cheap Chinese buffet. For how much you got the price you pay was beyond me. I think maybe 15 bux might have been OK. Rest of the dishes were pretty good but when I saw my dish I was confused. I had to look at the menu to see if I made the right order. Looked at the picture I took 11 months ago and verified I orders the same dish. I know cost of things have gotten up and some times you have to decide keep the price same and give smaller portion or raise the price.. Well I would have preferred either or. Not the dish I got which looked and tasted like, keep the same peice, add more pasta, put less seafood. I was so annoyed I wanted to complain but I got the evil eyes from my wifey since it was a bday dinner celebration, so I kept my mout shut. I remember seafood gumbo being amazing but for some reason shrimp gumbo was also pure disappointment. Little salty and lacked the flavor that I remember eating. Definitely not worth the price for a cup. Filet mignon for $68.95 definitely was not worth the price tag also. Over all food was pretty good but not as good as last time I ate there. Service was still great which is nice. I cannot keep this place 4 starts anymore. And I used to recommend this place to everybody but not after today. That almost $38 appetizer was sad and over priced and they totally ruined my Pasta Mardi Gras. Maybe I am being too harsh but 8 people dinner with 3 appetizers, one main dishes per person, just water to drink for over $650, I just could not get over the fact that it was not worth the over all price.
