    Chupe De Camarones O Mariscos (pictured is the one with mariscos)

    The food is delicious, fresh and good size portions for the cost. The service was a little slow but it was a busy Friday night and only 3 people were working. The decor is simple and clean and the ambiance is casual.

    The decor was up to standard for a smaller restaurant but didn't feel too crowded or tight. The food was pretty good, and the portions were adequate for the price. I was very satisfied with my meal and had plenty, so I wasn't left wanting more. Our server was very professional and courteous considering the large group we had. I would recommend this place if you're in the area and looking for latin cuisine.

    A surprise visit here with my son and his family. Service was great. We had the fried snapper which was excellent. I would recommend the whole snapper.

    This is a little gem in Longwood. Chicken was so good. I haven't had good Peruvian style chicken in a while. We ordered a whole chicken that came with 2 generous side portions. We decided for Yuca Fries and Fried Plaintains. Both really good. I also ordered the Garlic Potatoes. The only item I did not like. Staff was friendly and didn't have to wait too long to get the food. Can't wait to go back. We finished that chicken in record time.. it was that good.

    Yummy quick lunch spot for some good Peruvian food. Perfect spot to do a pick up order. The restaurant is nothing fancy, but the service was excellent! Food came out fast and it was all delicious. Fair pricing!

    Yucca fries, beans, rice, salad to go with
    Cheryl Emily B.

    Being in the area I decided to give this Pervian cuisine small place a try. I am typically skeptical of Spanish food these days as I prefer not to bother if I can make it better to my liking at home. I was wrong though, I got the rice and beans and salad with yucca fries all to give a try. The rice used seemed like jasmine rice and it was freshly made (as I don't put it past these days to get stale food - pet peeve). The beans/frijoles had flavor and paired well with it. The yucca fries also piping hot and fresh - not overly oily either, my other pet peeve.. The side salad and side dressing was a nice touch to have with the lunch. I read in the past reviews they have good dips/sauces so I made sure to ask. She offered garlic sauce, a hot green sauce, and salad dressing I went with all 3 and it did a great job of enhancing it all. Service was busy but still welcoming - I forgot to order my typical mango smoothie and despite someone waiting in line she was still nice about having to ring me up twice. The mango smoothie half milk half water is my thing and it didn't disappoint here. The lighting was lacking a bit inside and it was busy so I decided to take it out and eat outside. Also, not sure if service is always quick there but my food came out in about 5-10 minutes while still fresh! Il def be back for another dish.

    Chicken plate with fries and a salad
    Ulgonda K.

    Had an excellent dinner here tonight. All of the food was really tasty. Highly recommend the chicken plate. The chicken was really well seasoned and perfectly cooked. The side salad was fabulous! We will be back for sure. Great mom and pop place. Comfortable and clean inside, nice music and the waitress was super sweet.

    Excellent food. Tried for the first time. Went to a beer and plant event and then decided to try this place. Did not disappoint. I ordered basically the house fried rice and it was so flavourful, I'm not a big calamari fan but in that fried rice it was cooked perfectly!! Will go

    Lomo Salteado a lo Pobre
    Stewart W.

    Recommended by a Peruvian friend and it did not disappoint! Went for Sunday lunch and it was not very crowded but it did begin to fill up later (still early afternoon). The food was amazing, the atmosphere very pleasant, and the service beyond friendly. Either intend to go there or be drawn in by the amazing smells from the kitchen. Either way, you won't be disappointed!

    A little bit salty for my taste but I told the waitress and they made it fresh all over again so I was surprised !! It was delicious and really well cooked with fresh ingredients. The pollo taste was so good... the portions were huge and the 3 of us had more than enough for sure. The drinks were ok. It is about 30 mins drive for us but We will come back again for sure.

    Their logo. Nice, small place.

    I have only now just found out about this place? We found it on a lark because my son was hungry- but for something we never had. So I threw out the idea of Peruvian food?! And with that; we came across this wonderful restaurant. It is a little hidden, right next to a bar and in a shopping center. Very subtle, but it's there! It isn't a huge steakhouse by any means, but big enough for a couple of families and a few couples/duos in search of a great meal. I got a chicken and rice dish with onions atop and mixed veggies within. My son got a fish dish which looked delicious, and had what seemed like a full salad as a side - with rice. Both meals were tremendous! So much food! And seasoned just right. The rice was cooked perfectly- just dry enough so that it made you drink to wash it down as opposed to drying out your mouth. Furthermore, the place is clean and staff friendly. The woman who took our order sensed my son didn't know what he was getting with his first choice (raw fish) , so she guided him to something more his liking. Service was quick and prices are sensible. Great food and service. Will be back!

    Yuca a La Huancaina
    Deisa M.

    Incredible dinner! This restaurant was recommended and was above our expectations. Food was phenomenal - flavors were on point and very authentic. We were served super fast, we were in and out in less than 45 minutes which is great for a sit down restaurant. It's hard to say what was my favorite, but it was my first time ever trying Yuca a la Huancaina (typically I've had it with potatoes) annnd WOW 10/10 great menu item and a must try! I also have to add that the portions are large and filling, making the price totally worth every penny. The space was clean and well organized, and they had great music playing that added to the vibe.

    A friend and I went to Pisco Peruvian for dinner and had a wonderful experience. We sat on their…read moregarden patio which was decorated beautifully with greenery hanging from the ceiling and large ornate mirrors. We sat in a big round booth which was spacious and comfy. Service was wonderful, our server was friendly and answered all of our silly questions and didn't laugh at us when we butchered the words of the ingredients in dishes. She checked on us often and provided suggestions to make sure we got plates we would enjoy. The cocktail menu.....wow! It was so beautiful visually and the drinks came out looking just like the photos! They tasted great too! It's apparent that time and care went into every decision on this menu. As for food, we started with the croquettes. They came four to an order and it was the perfect amount of food to hold us over until our entrees came. Our entrees came out and we were both surprised by the portions! I got the Chaufa Charapa and it came in a beautiful stone bowl. The portion was huge, it just kept going and going! My friend got salmon and it was the biggest piece of salmon i've seen served at a restaurant. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and had leftovers to take home. Overall we were thoroughly impressed with all aspects of Pisco Peruvian and can't wait to return!

This visit was no exception -- the food was genuinely excellent. That said, the business model is starting to feel aggressive. Every interaction is an upsell opportunity, and you quickly realize you're on high alert the entire meal, almost battling the server at every turn just to avoid quietly running up the bill. It starts the moment you sit down: "Is bottled water okay?" -- which, of course, is an upcharge. When we ordered Pisco Sours, instead of just bringing the standard version, the server recommended the Peruvian one, about $5 more. For starters, my wife wanted a chicken dish, but the server suggested a beef dish, mentioning it could be made with chicken instead. The catch: there was no price reduction for swapping to chicken, leaving us paying $12 more than the original chicken dish would have cost. I had the Lomo Saltado, which was fantastic, and asked for fries instead of the yellow potatoes. I don't mind an upcharge -- but it would have been nice to be told upfront. A simple "there's a small upcharge for that" would have been fine. They also take photos of you at the table, which is pleasant enough on its own, but by then you're conditioned to wonder what it's going to cost. When the check arrived, an 18% gratuity had already been added, with the option to tip more on top. We declined to add extra. The food really is excellent, and we may go back for that reason alone. But be prepared to stay on your toes -- every choice seems designed to nudge the bill higher, and you'll spend the meal defending your wallet rather than relaxing into it.
