This is one of our favorite spots! The steak saltado is absolutely delicious--full of flavor and always a great choice. If you're looking for another must-try option, enjoy the buffet, which offers a great variety of tasty choices for everyone. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the environment is clean, comfortable, and inviting. The shop is a fun place to ick up gifts. It's a place where you can enjoy amazing food and great service every time. Highly recommend! read more

I was excited to finally try this place with my husband. We came in for an early dinner during the week and it wasn't busy at all. We had a very friendly waiter. I didn't want to write this review but I had a concern about something about the menu. I ordered the tequenos de pollo as an appetizer and the menu didn't say anything about it having cheese in which was perfect. I got the order and it in fact had cheese. I'm lactose intolerant and really sensitive to dairy so I asked about the cheese being in it. He confirmed it was in there, so I asked if they can just take it back- the waiter said no. I then asked if they can just take it off the bill because I couldn't eat it. He said no to that too. My husband doesn't eat meat and my son is lactose intolerant so it was going to be food wasted and money down the drain. I was pretty shocked because I've never been to a restaurant where they can't reasonable accommodate the guest. I then ordered my entree and the chicken was very dry and overcooked. I was not satisfied but I knew they wouldn't let me swap it for something else. Unfortunately I'm not going to rush to come back. The waiter was friendly enough but not accommodating. I get nervous when it comes to food allergies because now I know that some restaurants aren't disclosing food allergens which is actually not allowed. There are folks out here with life threatening allergies, so these places need to be careful. I'm glad I'm not one of those people but it's still disappointing. read more

La Huaca Peruvian Cuisine - Peruvian Near Me - Roseville, California

The service was poor. The server barely spoke. When he saw that none of my food had been eaten past the first bite; he looked over at it 5 times but never inquired as to what was wrong. I ordered the empanadas. They were visually appealing. So nicely done. The flavor; however, left much to be desired. The chicken empanada was creamy and flavorless. The chicken was dry despite what may have been cheese. The beef empanada was cold in the center. The chorizo empanada was good at first bite. Soon after, there was a strange aftertaste that made me want to give it ALL back . Had the concha $5.00 for a small condiment size dish of fried corn -- literally dried corn--cardboard, tasteless--sawdust. Never again. If you have money to burn give it a try. If you like to get something good for you cash--go elsewhere. The service was far from good and extremely close to the worst. Only 1 star because there is no option for less than that! read more

We had a very good dinner here. Service was friendly and quick. We had the Lomo Saltado, Tallarin Saltado and the shrimp and beef . The beef was very flavorful with good wok-fired flavor. The brought us a small complimentary dish of roasted peruvian corn which was fun to try. The restaurant is spacious. read more

I drive by this place all the time and finally decided to give it a try. I made reservations for 6pm on a holiday Monday right after Valentine's Day for 3 people. This was the first time for all of us eating here and eating Peruvian cuisine. Service was 5+ STARS! Food 5 STARS! Options 3 STARS :( Yessy was our server. She was very friendly, took the time to make recommendations, explained what was in certain items, and checked on us frequently. We ordered more food than we needed solely because she made everything sound delicious. Her knowledge of the cuisine was outstanding. Top notch service! We ordered the following: APPETIZERS Yuca Relllenas - great subtle flavor. Dipping sauce was excellent. Trio de empanadas Pork - good Chicken - amazing Chorizo - super amazing Sauce was subtle but paired perfectly with Conchillas à la Parmesana- a tad small, cheese over powered the scallop, but still really good. Complimentary Fresh bread and chimmi churri sauce was also very good. ENTREES Lomo Saltado - meat was flavored perfectly and very tender Seco de Cordero - fell off the bone it was so tender. Probably the best choice of the night Lahuaca salad - passion fruit dressing was so light and perfectly sweet LACK OF OPTIONS This is partly our fault, going out the week after Valentine's Day. Several of the items we wanted they were out of. Seafood - nope. Chicken - nope. Desserts - nope. While there were other options in those areas, it seems like everything we first picked was not available. But, that just gives us a reason to go back. And we will be back!! read more

Heard about this place and have been dying to try it. First visit we came for dinner and was hooked! Every dish has unique/distinct flavors and every bite will have you craving more. We came for the week day lunch buffet for $20 and got to try more items. The Sunday night buffet is the 1 everyone raves about so this'll be our next visit! read more

We've been there a few times and never disappointed.. food is delicious and staff is friendly and attentive .. tonight we had the pleasure of having Erik Lopez as our server ... very knowledgeable and helpful he explained the different items on the menu for us and was very friendly .. thank you Erik read more

This place has a great lunch buffet Monday - Friday for $20! Comes with three types of soup, a small salad bar, a couple dessert options, and a few dish options. When I went on a Friday, the buffet was not busy at all. I loved the soup - it was pulling hot, fresh, and had a good amount of meat and veggies. The dishes included pollo Saltado, rotisserie chicken, arroz con pollo, and so much more. The arroz con pollo was delicious. You can end your meal with dessert like areoz con leche. For $20 I thought it was a good deal. In addition to the buffet, there is a menu you can choose items from. read more

La Huaca Peruvian Cuisine - Saltado de camarons - Peruvian Near Me - Roseville, California

This Peruvian restaurant seems to have potential, but unfortunately the buffet did not. The main issue was that the food trays were rarely kept stocked. The food was a mixed experience. Some dishes lacked seasonings and bland, like the famous ceviche. Some dishes were flavorful, like the carapulca and arrow con pollo. 2.5 stars​ read more

I lost count of how many times I have been to La Huaca, even at their old location. My friendly server Yessy brought me a delicious beef soup as part of my meal. I had a diet Inka Cola, this soda tastes like bubblegum and cream soda. This time I ordered the "Tallarín Verde Con Lomo Saltado" ( Lomo Saltado with Green Noodles ), the Lomo Saltado was very flavorful, juicy and served without its usual fries and the Tallarín Verde was delicious and soaking up all juice. For an extra spiciness, I requested some Rocoto. It's a great way to enjoy Lomo Saltado and I recommend it. read more

The restaurant is so well decorated with many pieces representing Peru! They even have a mini store with Peruvian crafts and goodies. The food was really good and as good as it gets for Peruvian outside of Peru! I order lomo to any Peruvian restaurant I go to and this is one of my favorites. They are also improved their presentation of food which makes it look even better! This is my favorite Peruvian restaurant when in the capital region. read more

Came for a quick lunch on a Sunday. Interior is nice and spacious. We were sat quickly. Brian, our server, was very helpful. The options on the menu was a bit overwhelming. I ordered the Seco de carne con frijoles which was very tasty. My wife said it had the texture of birria. I also had the maracuyá to drink. My wife said she was going to order that next time. A bit pricey but worth it. We'll be back! read more

I wanted Peruvian food and found this place. It was last minute decision and no reservations needed. I thought the restaurant was clean and spacious. The decorations were eclectic still easy on the eyes. I gave this restaurant three stars because of the service. Our waiter was rude and not engaging at all. I felt like he was upset the entire time he served us. The food was good but because of the rudeness behavior I will probably not return. read more

Sunday buffet review: Drove 2.5 hours from our home to get a Peruvian restaurant. We came as they opened at 11:00 AM. Our family loved the food, the ambiance and the variety. The food was coming out hot and fresh as we arrived. Tip: At the end you need to request a free picaron, it is made to order. Also, no drinks included. Loved the ceviche, Lomo, pollo a la brasa and all the other dishes. So much to choose from. read more

Food was YUMMY and the inside is cutely decorated with Peruvian decor! I always love trying out new cuisines. The chicken soup was a delicious was to start the meal, followed by the chicharron chicken... so crispy and loved the pairing of the tartar sauce. That was a unique sauce! My dish was the Arroz Del Pacifico , the rice was seasoned perfectly. Creamy, cheesy, and the perfect amount of salt. I wish there was more seafood but that's because I could have kept eating and eating. The soda was fun too, unique flavor. Overall the food was delicious, but the service was VERY slow. I will be back to try other dishes. read more

I had the purple corn drink (chicha morada) for my beverage. For my appetizers, I had the trio empanadas: beef, chicken, chorizo. I also enjoyed the yuca fries and the fried plantains. For my main entrée, I had the lamb shank, which was incredibly delicious, juicy, and tender. I also had the soup of the day (with chicken and veggies), which was off the chain as well. read more

We have been huge fans of La Huaca since their days in a different location. Their food is absolutely delicious, highly creative in presentation and flavors and affordable. They offer a lunch buffet, which we have not tried yet. But our dinners were superb! My Salmon was perfectly done, the beef meals and chicken were also well regarded by my fellow diners. Service and ambiance are equally terrific but its the delectable food that has us coming back for more. read more

FOOD - Arroz del Pacifico Sur: Peruvian paella. Rice with shrimp, calamari, scallops, carrots, peas and red bell peppers. This was very tasty. It's creamier and saucier than your typical paella. I ordered mine without clams and mussels. Huge portion. 4/5 SERVICE: Friendly and attentive. There's a little bit of a language barrier but we there were no hiccups. 4/5 FINAL THOUGHTS: I may come back and try other dishes. Prices are a little steep but the portions were big. The buffet is overpriced. There an island of salad/desserts and another island of food. read more

Not the same service that they used to provide. Food is good, and still ok but again, I remember this place being so pleasant, nice environment. As of now, when you visit you can tell the difference, there might be 9-10 people at the most, service and down grade food quality, servers are not friendly, taste is variable... poor service overall. All these aspects could indicate why they're not getting too much demand. A bit disappointed from my last visit. Not sure if I'm coming back. read more

Went here for dinner with some friends on a Friday day. We got there early at 5:30 and the place was really empty. People started coming in around 6-7ish and it got pretty full. The restaurant is Peruvian and they have a cute souvenir shop inside that sells stuffed animal llamas, shirts, coffee all from Peru. The llamas are so cute and a lot of the souvenir items are made from real llama fur Since we were one of the first for dinner service, we were greeted at the door and shown around at the shop. Our server was excellent and explained the menu and her favorites since it was our first time dining there. we started off with the empanada sampler: carne, chorizo con pina and pollo. All of them were absolutely delicious. I would highly recommend trying their empanada sampler For main entree we got the lomo saltado (stir fried beef,onions, tomatoes) and comes with fries. I highly recommend this dish as it's a classic Peruvian dish. The meat was so tender and flavor was on point. The fries were good too. I also loved their passion fruit drink, it was refreshing and perfectly tangy The seco de codero (lamb shank) was just okay and the pescado a Lo macho had mahi mahi, calamari and shrimp in a yellow pepper sauce. The sauce was tasty but the mahi mahi felt a bit dry. Overall, worth going and try their lomo saltado and empanadas. There aren't that many Peruvian spots around so it's nice to have one nearby. I heard they also have daily lunch buffets and their buffets on the weekend have more options including seafood. I'll have to go back again to try their buffet sometime read more

Came for the weekday lunch buffet and none of the hot food items feel as though they are kept warm enough to pass health department standards. I tried three different chicken dishes and all were on that edge between 'leftovers' and cold. Along with that, two of the dishes the chicken was extremely dry, leaving them pretty flavorless .. while the third - arroz con pollo - I could not try because the chicken was not thoroughly cooked, a deep pink throughout. None of the items that received good reviews were on the buffet menu, so I'll come back, but my first time here was unimpressive l. read more

The food and service were top notch. This is a Roseville-South Placer County gem. We orders the seasoned smoked chicken and shrimp dishes. They were both fantastic. We're huge fans of La Huaca on Douglas Blvd in Roseville. Also, we stopped at the little Peruvian store before heading out - ended grabbing some homemade cookies. read more

Attentive server but the food wasn't very good. My husband had the Pollo à la Brasa (rotisserie chicken) although flavorful it was quite dry. I had the Pachamanca la Huaca, first it was supposed to be stewed beef and pork but I was served beef and 1 chicken leg. It was also supposed to come with steamed potatoes, sweet potatoes, grilled seasonal vegetables. The veggies were not grilled and I got 1 small piece of sweet potato and two small pieces of potato. I'm also pretty sure the chicken in it gave me stomach issues as it tasted off and I've been running to the bathroom (and this is the only thing I've eaten today outside of some toast this morning). I really wanted to love this place because I love Peruvian food, but we will not be back. Gave at least 2 stars because the server was very attentive and nice. read more

It was so beautiful and delicious looking I forgot to take a pic before I started eating. Third or fourth time here. Rocking on weekends. Service is friendly and professional. Highly reccomend.

Updating my review as we've been here twice now, once for dinner and more recently for their lunch buffet. Between the two options, we'd opt to return for the dinner and skip the buffet. My husband and I both really enjoyed the food at dinner. The flavors were great and portion size was fair. However, we were very put off by the service of our waiter last time. We were rushed through the meal and ignored. It took nearly an hour to get our food but then within minutes of getting the entrees, we were given the check. Then a minute or two later while we were still eating, he came back and asked us to make our payments. It was insulting and we felt like we were being rushed out. During our recent lunch visit, service was better but the food was worse. The lunch buffet is small and the quality is less than their dinner service. It's so expensive and just isn't frankly worth it. There's a small salad bar, rice, fries, a soup, lentils, and a few entrees basically. It wasn't the variety we were hoping for given the expensive price. The food was lukewarm and just not that appetizing. It's a much better deal to get a regular entree. Both times we've visited have been for special occasions, but honestly inside it doesn't feel that nice. It is inside an old Sizzler and the ambiance is no nicer than it was back then. Ultimately, there isn't a lot of choice for other Peruvian meals locally so we may return. I hope service improves in the future. Also, the price is high for what you get so be prepared for that. read more

La Huaca Peruvian Cuisine - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Roseville, California

On our way to Tahoe, my wife discovered this hidden gem -- and I'm so glad she did. Having traveled to Peru many times, I can say this place is truly authentic. We tried their buffet, and it was a great deal. They offered a wide range of dishes, from fish with yellow aji sauce to a delicious pollo saltado. The salad bar also had a nice variety of fresh greens and healthy options. Their full menu is huge, and I'm excited to come back and try more -- especially the ceviches, lomo saltado, and causas. If you're traveling to Reno or Tahoe, this is definitely a fantastic spot to stop for a great lunch! read more
