This place is amazing. We had the chaufa, jalea and it was great. The food tasted fresh and not oily. The family size meals could feed 5 and the small 2-3 ppl. I loved everything and will def buy there more often read more

The worst Peruvian food I've ever tried, service was horrible, food was expensive.. Don't ever go there, if you want to try good Peruvian food I would recommend Pollo a La Brasa!! read more

La Perla - $22 for this plate.. Definitely not worth it - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

Excellent food and nice service. Prices are about what you would expect. The sangria and concha (fried corn) is worth the visit alone. I usually get the yellow rice with seafood dish for 2 and we share it. The tacu tacu steak is also excellent. Definitely worth a visit when in the mood for a nice steak or some excellent seafood - or when you feel like celebrating the weekend with some nice sangria and appetizers. read more

My first time here. I found the ceviche to be incredible. Large portions. Great service. The place is old but it's a very good place to stop if you enjoy ceviche. We had a great waiter. There were also two television screens showing soccer games. Allie and I ate for under $50. She had one glass of wine and of course I don't drink.with a tip came out to about $60. I'd love to come back to this place again read more

Only reason I would not give it four stars is because I am big on ambience, and that is the only thing this place seems to lack. The decor and location is just average. The food is worth returning for though! I am not sure what it is called, but that green sauce that Peruvian restaurants normally have out on the table or served with their dishes, well, the one from here is better than any other one I have tried in Miami! SO gooood! I shared the Spicy Mixed Ceviche and Lomo Saltado with my gf, and ther were perfect. Since I live pretty close by, I sense I will be returning very soon. :) read more

im sure yelp is to rate the food, customer service. There are people here writing reviews & haven't even tried the food.. Why put 1 star. & They're still investigating, they still don't have proof that it was the manager who put the camera there. People just like to assume and judge right away. This company has been opened for more than 10 years. Ask any loyal customer, how yummy their food is, & everyone makes you feel like you're at home . the owner lady is the sweetest person & its such a nice family restaurant, every time I go in I feel like I am eating with my family. That's just that restaurant vibe. Its really not fair how she is getting jeopardized for this. She is a 50-year-old mom that's put in so much work into her business and and renovating and always coming up with new things. Whoever put that camera in there is a really bad person. But her business, her food & attitude should not be jeopardized. Im 100% sure she did not put that camera there. It makes no sense. I just find it really unfair how people are saying they will never go again because of this accident, this has nothing to do with the food. Their food & service is amazing. People are blaming her & everyone there. Anyways , people go to restaurant to eat the food not use the damn bathroom. It's ridiculous. People are so ignorant. You have to go poo, go to your house. And no I don't work there, or know any of them personally I've just been going there for years with my family and their service and food is amazing. my family and I feel really bad for them and hopefully they catch whoever put that camera in there but we go there for the food not to use bathrooms. read more

Was here for the 4th of July and was rather impressed. $17 for a giant jalea, good and fresh ceviches. Not the best I have had in Miami, but it held it's own. Their green aji is delicious and just perfect to have with the french bread they bring out. I wish they carried Cusqueña instead of Cristal though. Best part of the meal were the picarones. Hands down, the best picarones in all of Miami. read more

AMAZING!!! OMG!!! I did not even know this place existed until a few weeks ago, but what a great find! My wife and I shared a plate (recommended by our server) called Tacu Tacu Con Lomo Saltado ($17). It's a gigantic portion of a rice/white bean/egg casserole drenched with the juices that simmer off of the steak strips and grilled onions that are served atop! We also shared a Mixed Ceviche ($15) that we ordered as Spicy! WOW! My nose is still running it was that spicy! This is a MUST try! read more

The Ceviche here is soo good :) I recommend getting it spicy if you can handle it lol The Lomo Saltado is very good as well. Pricy, but great food. read more

What had up until yesterday been my favorite Peruvian restaurant, is now off the list forever. We ordered our usual, a family jalea, shrimp and fish ceviche, and limo salteado for the kids. I'm not sure if it was the jalea or the ceviche, but something was bad. I was sick all night! Here we are 24-hours later and in still not right. I gave it two stars because up until last night the food had always been great. It's a shame to say the least. Buyer beware. read more

Excellent food, so tasty. Very big portions. Service was really good, very polite. I strongly recommend it, you won't disappoint it read more

The people here are really nice. The food is pretty good but it is really expensive. If all their dishes were $2-$3 cheaper, I'd bump this place up to 4 stars. I like that they put crab (1piece) and large shrimp in their arroz con mariscos.. but it's just not that great when you have to pay close to $20 for it. I will go back for a Peruvian fix since it's really close to my home.. otherwise, eh. I'd prefer other places. read more

OMG! If you love Peruvian food this is deff a place to go too, quality food and a very decent price ! We go once a month and we love it, also great service! Big plus read more

Absolutely incredible food here. I went we my aunt here for Mother's Day and we were blown away. We ordered ceviche that was simply delectable! I ordered a seafood soup called Aguadito and it was literally the best soup I've ever tasted! If I'm in the area again I will certainly return. The service is excellent and there is parking our front. read more

Love love love this place. We are regulars here & I've yet to try anything I don't like. My absolute favorite thing on the menu is the Arroz Chaufa de carne & the picarones, even though they're only available Saturday & Sunday. While they are a little pricey, the food is always fresh & they do a great job at making you feel welcome. read more

La Perla - Jalea - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

I LOVE Peruvian food. My best friends Peruvian so I've learned how to eat all the stuff they cook and La Perla is one of my top choices for Peruvian food. It's right around the corner from my house but even if it wasn't id still be a regular here. It's usually packed on weekends and the service has always been great but maybe because were regulars. The ceviches are my favorite, but if I want more of a less acidic meal I go with the aji de gallina, the pescado a lo macho and el lomo saltado. For appetizers I usually get choros a la chalaca which are mussels with a citrus salsa on too of anticuchos which are beef heart kabobs lol. Their papa a la huancaina always tastes very homemade and their dessert the bavarois is something I always have to save room for. It might be a little pricier than most Peruvian restaurants but it's worth it. read more

The food here is amazing with a great atmosphere! Only reason I did not give the full 5 stars is because of the price of entrees compared to other Peruvian restaurants. Other than that I highly recommend. read more

La Perla - We had 8 people and still had leftovers with this order it was huge! - Latin American Near Me - Miami, Florida

It is pricey, the food is ok .if you never had Peruvian food.this join is not too bad. But not the best. What dessapoint me is that they nickel and dime. No soda refills One piece of bread per person Tips, has been included in your bill. And so for. Can't think of all the stuff. Yes I'm being picky, we paid good money, so give us for what is worth. Didn't like it much it's alright. .The one to go is on dadeland south.by little hoolies. Can't remember the name.... Is 9500 So. Dixie Hwy. Don't quote me go and see then compare. La perla, has been there for a while . Remember new broom sweeps better. La perla really needs to pay attention to their pricey dishes. "If you are a Peruvian you'll know what in talking about". . read more

Low key, great all around spot for Peruvian cuisine. Everything I've had was great here! You can't go wrong with the traditional choices of jalea mixta, lomo saltado or ceviche mixto. You can't go wrong with La Perla!!! read more

Incredible. Best tiraditos. Service is amazing. This place is a hidden gem. Traditional Peruvian dining. Quality is top notch. The tiradito tricolor is a must have. read more

The food was grate loved it. will come back again soon lunch and dinner then I will bring my mom and sis... grate job service was grate....

First time here and only came for the ceviche which did not disappoint. We had the Ceviche Mixed Especial and it was "especially" delicious. This is an unpretentious family friendly Peruvian restaurant in the Sedano's shopping center with excellent service. Don't forget to try their dessert called picarones which I think is a traditional Peruvian sweet. Fair pricing and highly recommend if you like ceviche. read more

It's located in the corner of a Sedano's strip mall on the intersection of 137th ave and 152 street. While a little pricey compared to Peruvian spots around Kendall drive, it's so much more convenient when I need a ceviche fix, as I live a couple blocks away. They offer a huge serving of ceviche which is always fresh and well marinated (never smells fishy). The lomo saltado and chupe de mariscos are always enough to feed two and nothings better than an icy cold inca cola to wash it all down. read more

Best ceviche in the area. Don't be put off by the exterior - you can find great food in strip malls and converted gas stations south of Miami! Be aware the portions are huge! I've eaten here several times and there is nothing I could have finished by myself. Also the menu is only partially translated into English and many waiters are not bilingual ... So if you are not a Spanish speaker you might consider a dining companion who is. read more

I like very few things better than finding a hidden jewel. It can be a little hard to even want to different things when you're on a budget. But because I do really like Peruvian food I took a chance and walked in this place and I was so very glad I did. Inside was bigger then I expected. Nice and clean. I ordered the roasted chicken and vowed its the only place I'll come to get roasted chicken when my budget allowed. As a half of chicken runs about $12 bucks. But delicious and fresh none the less. read more

For being a hole in a wall, what a nice refreshing surprise. Service is outstanding. Our waitress very quick and attentive. She even brought me a glass pitcher of water to our table. I had the jalea seafood which was awesome. I would give it 4 starts but I need to visit at dinner time :) good excuse to come back :) read more

This place has great food and great service. Sometimes there's a bit of a language barrier but they handle it well

I've eaten here a few times and was very pleased both times. I love peruvian food and try to find different places to experience new flavors in different dishes. The ceviche platter is amazing. Each portion was a different prepared version of ceviche. It was great. The restaurant is busy and sometimes finding a waitress is time consuming. All that being said, I'd return and bring friends. read more

Not as great as I hoped for , I overhyped myself by reading all the reviews , or maybe I ordered the wrong dish For starters I had the camaron de pescado and it was pretty good . As entree, I had the arroz con marisco ( which I thought it was a very large portion of yellow rice , and not enough sea food ) this dish can be shared by two , even three , it's huge I've had the same dish at other Peruvian restaurants and it was nothing compared . Willing to give it another try read more

Not real Peruvian ceviche. Very disappointing and the service was very poor. I will never go there again and don't recommend it to anyone

Simply the best ceviche in town. Also the best mixed seafood platter( jalea) we ordered the lomo saltiado it's always great

Everything I've tasted here is good. My favorite is the whole steamed fish. The tacu tacu with lomo saltado is also great. The service is always good and friendly. The portions are big. I love this spot. read more

The decor for this place is very mom and pop BUT this restaurant is run like a family's home and you are welcomed like family as soon as you enter. The food here is AWESOME. Susan and her parents are PERUVIAN and they come here OFTEN and I can see why. The food is very fresh including the seafood. The jalea deep fried combo is a must try. A single order for four as an appetizer is PLENTIFUL. Everything is seasoned well but I recommend you get extra dipping sauces if you like it spicy and highly seasoned. Would have giving this a 4 star rating because the decor is amateurish BUT the food here is INCREDIBLE and you can't eat the decor. read more

Great food, but don't expect any romantic ambiance, I felt like it was a former Huddle House.

Delicious ceviche, good causa, and delicious Lomo salteado. Excellent service. To go service super past

I go to a lot of restaurants. I didn't expect much. I ordered Aguadito Sopa de Mariscos and another plate named Sudado de Pescado. They were the best dishes I've had in South Florida, period. read more

So I had been here once before and didn't really remember if I liked it so much. Gave it another try since I knew it wouldn't be bad if not i would've remembered it. I mainly went for the ceviche since that's my favorite dish. Unfortunately I did not like the fish (ceviche). I've been to many Peruvian restaurants and tried many of theirs and this was definitely not good. I'm sure the rest of their food might be better but I'm just rating on what I had and what I was looking for. My spouse had the pollo a la. Rasa and it was good. But the fish should definitely be changed. read more

I give this place five stars. The food was amazing, I was craving seafood, and I'm a big fan of Peruvian food, so we stopped here for Mother's Day. When we first arrived we had to wait about five minutes for a table, but once we were seated, the waiter was super nice and attentive. Offered different dishes, and I must say the servings were really big i had enough to take home. Family oriented! Must try., we weren't able to fit dessert! Haha. read more
