    Tallarin Saltado de Carne (my personal fav!)
    Susanna Y.

    Okay, the interior has stepped up its game. It's gorgeous inside and feels like you're coming home to a place that is filled with so much love, dedication, warmth, and so much delicious food. I always come here for my ceviche, and it hits every single time. I love Julianna's!

    This Peruvian restaurant has a nice small private lot where you can park, otherwise you can try street parking around the block. When we walked in, I noticed a bit of a musty smell inside the building. I have a sensitive nose, so maybe others did not notice, but I did. That was a bit of a turn off. When you get the menu, you will see many items with the prices scratched off or with colored stickers on top of them...so if you need to know the prices, you need to ask. Or, look at the receipt afterwards to know how much you have been charged for the entrees. There were 6 of us, so we all ordered many things and overall the food was good at all levels. My Churrasco (I ordered medium RARE) came cooked medium well, but since we were so hungry and my husband's meal came like 5 minutes after everyone else's, I ate it. It wasn't bad, but that tells you that usually it's better to ask for the meat to be undercooked, so it comes to you not too overcooked. The cheese salteña was puffy with a nice sweet dough enrobing a minimal cheese filling....barely no cheese filling..... Their chaufa was large and plentiful, as well as the ceviche dish. The maduros were all sweet and well done, so that was a good thing. The waitress was very pleasant and nice. The food was good, but definitely not my top choice for Peruvian food in the area.

    Food, service and ambiance was great. Staff was excellent. I was looking forward to coming here and it did not disappoint. Well worth the hour drive

    The food and service here is top notch. I absolutely loved the Lomo Montado with sirloin. The music, ambiance, and art is great to look at while having classic Bolivian cuisine. I plan on packing some saltinas to bring back with me to Houston. My Bolivian wife was even so impressed with the food, and the staff were so friendly!!!

    I love it here the food is very authentic and delicious. It's kinda like Los Andes restaurant but just different look. Nice and clean and good service as well

    The restaurant could use more decor- brighten up the culture. I was not happy that the extensive menu had no prices. This could get tricky. We had the tamale which was sweet, hot and delicious. Then we had the Saltenas- best around. Hot from the oven and tasty on the tongue. I could eat ten of these! Then the main meal- soooo good. Very tasty and plentiful. The cheesy rice was so good and the chicken a lo pobre hit the spot. The waiter was super nice and very on his game. In the end the food was not pricey and you got more than what you paid for. I was very pleased. I will be back again.

    Near by there is not other restaurants where you can enjoy a beer with your meal. So I decide to stop by and it reminded me to Los Andes in chalkstone Avenue before they got huge and more like fine dining. I order the lomo montado with ribeye and it was cooked perfectly medium rare (which I was surprised because Spanish restaurants are afraid to cook rare meat). Portions are generous for the price. No beer on top but really good selection on bottle. Next time I'll bring my family. Just one think they need some music just have atmosphere. Overall great place to I forgot they put on the table a home made jalapeño salsa that you can drink. It was delicious

    Ceviche De Pescado with just shrimp and fish
    James B.

    Julianna's is my favorite restaurant for Peruvian and Bolivian food in Providence/RI. I have 2 go-to orders whenever I get food from there: Pescado a lo macho OR ceviche de pescado. The pescado a lo macho is a bit of a heavier dish with a big piece of fried fish with mussels, squid rings and tentacles, and shrimp in a slightly spicy red broth. It comes with a delicious white rice that must have been cooked in a chicken or very well seasoned stock. If the main dish wasn't so good, I could order just the rice and be happy with my decision. It also comes with some fried yucca/cassava. The other dish pictured is ceviche with fish and shrimp that my girlfriend loves!

    Update: I called in and ordered the Tallarin Saltado de Carne, Bistek a lo Pobre and the ceviche mixto. When I picked up my order there was a language barrier so I assume everything was right when I got home it wasn't! I didn't have the Tallarin Saltado de Carne, I had rice instead of noodles, (picture below). Call ins over the phone are stressful with the language barrier but the food is amazing.

    Ceviche
    Delma L.

    This is probably one of my favorite places to get food. The food is seasoned very well, it comes very hot, and always fresh. Arroz con mariscos and the ceviche is AMAZING! You can really taste the freshness in the fish, it is so soft and tender. Also, lomo saltado de camarones is my fav, I'm not sure if it's on the menu but when I ask for it they always do make it The reason why I can't give a 5stars is just the service , which is unfortunate. There isn't any order or organization (my opinion). Too long to get seated, waitresses aren't always in the best mood, food takes a long time to reach the table, not so many check-ins with the table if anything is needed. It was like this at the older location as well but maybe with more time this new locations' service will increase in satisfaction. But I have to say that the food always has me coming back, it's that good. Super super yummy!

    We went for dinner for two this Friday evening, on the recommendation of several Spanish-speaking friends. It was noticeable that although it is a spacious venue, there were relatively few full tables for a Friday evening. The server, Blanca, was very prompt and attentive, but she didn't advise us of their policy of charging a 20% service charge in addition to their suggested gratuity ranging from 15-25% additional to the service charge. We ordered their empanadas de queso which turned out to have a sweet crust and almost no cheese, so instead of a savory appetizer it turned out to taste like a bland dessert. Their chicha morada limeña drink is not from Lima and it's not freshly made, it was served in its bottle that identified it as made in the USA. It was overly sweet. My girlfriend ordered their Jalea dish(spicy deep fried seafood with fries, fried yucca, and roasted maize) and that turned out to be very good and a very generous portion, which could be good enough for two. I ordered their pescado a la parilla (grilled fish) made with corvina, and again the portion was large, and it was accompanied by a house salad and boiled yucca and a giant rice ball. The fish was fresh but overly salty, and the yucca/rice combo was too much starch and a green or yellow hot vegetable offering with either starch would have greatly improved the dish.

    Chicharrones on Hominy with cheese, onions and Jalepenos.

    Los Andes is absolutely delicious whenever you're in Rhode Island!…read more I didn't realize at first that I had actually visited 4 years ago. I just remembered having amazing ceviche in RI back then, and randomly stumbling upon them again made me realize it was the same spot, and it's still just as delicious! Ceviche Mixto (5/5): Hands down one of the best ceviches I've ever had. Churrasco al Gaucho with Mashed Potatoes (4.5/5): Tender, delicious steak and great mashed potatoes all around. Andina Empanadas (4.25/5): Super meaty, perfectly puffy, and nicely crisp. There was a slight hint of sweetness I wasn't expecting, but I still really enjoyed them. Jalea (4/5): A generous portion of fried seafood. Good overall Classic Paella (4/5): Solid paella, though nothing super standout. Calamari (3.75/5): Good flavor, but the pieces were a little too small for my liking.

We had requested outdoor seating, but were instead led to an indoor table in a room that really didn't have much character, and wasn't what we were looking for on a special night. We asked to be moved outdoors, and after a little while a table became available. Outdoors was so much nicer than indoors and we really liked all of the plants and the live music as well. Our server was Joseph and he was really nice - he was probably the best part of our visit to Los Andes. I had heard such great things about this restaurant, but found most of the food to be pretty average compared to other Peruvian restaurants I've been to, and the prices were higher than they should have been. We ordered appetizers, drinks, entrees and a dessert, and all in all, I think Los Andes is overhyped. It was disappointing to have to wait for quite awhile past our reservation time, to not have our request for an outdoor table honored and then have to move, and the food and drinks were not as good as I would have expected them to be given Los Andes' reputation. Glad we went, but now I can cross it off of my list.

Needless to say, it was a disappointing start to what was supposed to be a special family evening. Thankfully, a quick call to Aguardente in Fox Point changed everything. The person who answered explained that they weren't taking reservations that evening, but they did have one outdoor table left if we could make it there in time. Despite the challenges of navigating Providence during the World Cup festivities and the Cape Verde Festival in the Fox Point area, we managed to get to the restaurant and secure that last table. We are incredibly grateful to the staff at Aguardente for helping turn our evening around. Our daughter and son-in-law were hoping to enjoy one last dinner with both families before leaving on Monday for a special assignment in South Carolina, and the unexpected closure of our original restaurant had left everyone feeling frustrated and disappointed. From the moment we arrived, the team at Aguardente made us feel welcome. The food was excellent, the drinks were wonderful, and the service was outstanding. Most importantly, they helped transform what had begun as a stressful evening into a memorable celebration with family. Thank you to everyone at Aguardente for your kindness, hospitality, and professionalism. You made our families smile and created a special memory during an important moment in our lives. We highly recommend Aguardente and look forward to returning. -- A very grateful family

    Atmosphere: cute outdoor seating area for summer nights. The inside has cool decor (including a…read morebathroom that apparently won an award??), but is very small and cramped. The upper 'porch' like area looks really fun, but the table we were seated at was so close to the other tables I was uncomfortable. I get that we're in a city, but I value my personal space and privacy and felt like the whole restaurant could hear my every word - ick. Service: our server seemed annoyed that I didn't want an alcoholic drink, and was not very helpful. Half of the menu is not in English (very chaotic how some portions are in English and others are not, it doesn't seem consistent), so we had some questions, such as "what does x taste like?" and the only response we got was "not too sweet"....okay, but what DOES it taste like? She spoke very fast and I couldn't understand her listing off the specials, even though she didn't really have an accent. She left partway through while we were there so I guess she was just at the end of her shift and checked out, but it was so offputting how rude and unhelpful she was. When our servers transitioned, we offered to cash out then since we weren't getting anything else and wanted the original server to get her tips, but she started joking around that we didn't have to do that - which I appreciate, but we actually did want to get going and get cashed out, but she refused to give us our check. I asked three times and she still wouldn't 'let us do that'...very weird. Food: there were not a ton of vegetarian options that appealed to me. I went a little overboard on plantains by accident, which is my mistake. I first ordered the Rellenitos with cilantro crema sauce, which were very good and a flavor combination I wasn't expecting. The dough to filling ratio was a little off and they were pretty dry inside, so I needed a lot of the sauce. An order only came with 2 and I wish it was more. I'm glad I ordered something else - Tula Fries, which came with the same exact cilantro creme sauce as the Rellenitos, even though they are described differently on the menu, which felt lazy to repeat a sauce. The sauce didn't go well with them at all in my opinion so I did not enjoy these as much as I would've liked. My friend enjoyed her drink, but thought almost all of the meat on her meat and cheese board was either low quality or close to going bad. It was priced reasonably, which we were shocked by, but she couldn't eat a good portion of it sadly. We did really enjoy the baked flava bean snack that was a part of it. The board weirdly came with just half of one small, half rotten strawberry that looked terrible - it would've been better to leave it off. Towards the end of the night, there was so much water on the floor in the hallway that goes to the bathroom and passes the kitchen - I had to walk through it to go to the bathroom, which felt like a safety hazard. My friend was on crutches and wouldn't even try to get over there since we knew she'd slip on all the water. It just looked terrible and was dangerous, so not sure what we going on that there was such a water issue there. Their specialties and more meat based dishes are probably great, but there just aren't a ton of things for me to eat here. I'd be willing to try it again for drinks and apps if the service wasn't so unwelcoming.

We found street parking close to the restaurant and that worked well for us. We had about a 25 minute wait before we were seated as we expected. There were tons of people waiting for a table but they have a good system going and we got our table by the promised time. You are first provided complimentary chips with 3 warm dips (black beans and mild and spicy salsa) - they were really good. For appetizers we shared a garnacha and a chicharron and cheese pupusa. Portions were large and they were very tasty. We considered getting one main course to share but since we don't live close by decided to go for 2. This allowed us to have a lot of leftovers - enough for another dinner at home. One entree was aire, mar y tierra - delicious fried fish filet, well seasoned and grilled steak and chicken breast. That came with salad, rice, beans and a side of tortillas. We also had the caldo de marisco (seafood soup) and although not mentioned on the menu, our server mentioned that we could order a medium or large size. That came with a side order of rice. Fantastic soup! Restaurant is very lively and the noise level is high with groups enjoying their meals and having conversations. They have several televisions that were playing soccer games in the background as well as music playing in the background. A very energetic vibe. Another great meal and we will be back again in the future.
