Great food, nice service. Small location. Prices are within the rest of the Peruvian restaurants. read more

Food is excellent. Freshest Peruvian food I've ever had. Unlike other "Peruvian fusion" places la perla keeps it simple and traditional all the dishes here are authentic recipes. The service is good as well as the casual ambiance. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because of the prices. It's not terribly expensive but still kind of pricey. read more

I absolutely love this place. We have been coming here for years. Had not been lately because of Covid but the taste and great service remains intact. Great family place. Lots of delicious food. Had all of the items in the oic today and a homemade lemonade to die for. Absolutely recommend it. You can't go wrong with any of the choices. read more

Always delicious and consistent. My favorite Peruvian restaurant of all time. The chicken a la brasa is the best rotisserie chicken I've ever had and fish ceviche is equally tasteful. Food is reasonably priced. Highly recommend. read more

Great Peruvian food. I prefer pickup than dining in. The parking lot is cramped and always packed. The lono salteado is second to none.

I have been several times to La Perla Restaurant. The food never disappoints anyone. This is a Peruvian as it gets. I will point out a few things to provide an idea of my experiences. They get five stars with me due to taste, variety, and seeing the take their establishment to a new level over the years. This is my in-laws favorite Peruvian food. Every time I eat/order from them it reminds me of them since they are in love with their cuisine. I like their taste, service sizes and I get the local experience with their servers. I love being served by an Expert in their category. You learn as they explain the dishes, that's an experience. I have compared them with others and their lomo salteado is the most generous of them all. My last mind-blowing dish was "Pulpo al Grill" (grilled octopus) This was unreal and a must repeat. Be careful, the dish was 21.95 but worth every penny in my opinion. I was even surprise of the kids chicken strips that were a good brand that I get in Costco many times. I love eating here. You will see their traffic for take out, they have a room on the right side just to handle that side of the business. It's heavy traffic. Too bad that I live far from here. But I have gone out of my way to order from them for a couple of occasions. Sometimes you have to go the extra mile to ensure your food goes right for the special event. Wanna guess? My in-laws bday lol. Only one thing negative to point out. You get the smell of sea food as soon as you walk in. I'm not sure if this is on purpose of lack of extractor for lack of a better word. But it's worth the smell. I will continue to dine here again and again. read more

Service was ok but the food made it better Very big restaurant very big plate sizes and relatively affordable read more

Unfortunately ever since that restaurant was transfer to a new owner the food a is not the same. Its been 3 time that I ordered the pollo a la braza and the chicken is dry ( overcooked )and old; the fries are also too thin its like you are eating potato sticks. I hope they change the way they're cooking or this place wont last. read more

Love love love !!! Chuafa mixto & the jalea mixta woooow !! When we want Peruvian food this is our place to go. Great good, service and ambiance. read more

Upon arrival, we were pleasantly greeted and directed to sit wherever we pleased. Our waiter was friendly, attentive and very helpful. The prices, quite reasonable. The menu was partially written in English and partially in Spanish. Most of the menu items were not recognizable to me, but I located Yelp pictures for this establishment, and with my waiter's help, I quickly decided on a delicious meal. See my Yelp tip and picture for a visual of the meal I selected. At the time of our visit, about 1/2 of the tables were in use; by the time we left, the restaurant was packed. What great restaurant! It's worth the trip. read more

Service, food, Poor! They add tip on bill!! This was our first and last time hear. Waiter was Pleasant at first, after we had to chase him down to get plates, The appetizer and the entrée we're all brought at the same time. When we looked at our bill we saw he added his tip . Then when they brought back the bill for us to sign it said additional tip. Be careful check you bill read more

Amazing food. Very varied menu and all types of ceviche. Would definitely return to have their amazing Peruvian cuisine.

Finally made it here and heard from a friend of mine at this place was delicious and she was not lying after a very stormy beginning with the weather wise my friend and I read it there we were greeted promptly and seated and had the cancha come out with a spicy green sauce then I ordered a glass of sangria and my friend just had water and we ordered the fried calamari appetizer delicious fresh very lightly fried incredible and it came with some fried yucca that I ordered the chaufa with seafood and she ordered the lomo Saltado . For dessert to go got my fave suspira and had a cordito there . Took 1/2 of food to go since very full . Our waitress Vicky rocked she was the best ! First time here and surely will not be my last ! I I even bought along with the title for my mom and my son ate half the calamari plus chicken and there are all very happy. Next time going to try the ceviche and green spaghetti. Ask for Vicky and u will not be sorry ! All of the wait staff was very accommodating they're super friendly. read more

Great service, food was amazing. And family oriented. Waitress was on point with her recommendation. Thank You read more

I loveeee this restaurant! The food is excellent, quality and price wise. Sea food is always fresh and well prepared; the meats as well. Their portions are ridiculous! A "personal" portion can feed 2 people. Their prices have stayed consistent compared to other Peruvian restaurants that have already raised their prices because of popularity. Totally recommend it. You won't regret it. The actual place is not jaw dropping and the service is not 5 stars BUT THE FOOD IS WHAT MAKES IT A 5 stars read more

Susie y Guillermo fueron los mejores durante este día de las madres lunch. Completamente regresaremos para otra ocasión!

We visited on a busy Sunday evening. Great ambiance, lively but cozy, too. It seemed like a cherished home for the other patrons, many who seemed to be Peruvian regulars. Our waiter was very friendly and helped us feel we were family, even as first time guests. We enjoyed the special appetizer of grilled octopus and then a fish stuffed with shrimp, both his recommendations. We enjoyed the whole experience. read more

Came back to give it another try for the ceviche which was out of this world! So happy I gave them another try. My kid had the paella and it was the best I have had in year's. We had an older male waiter this time and he helped us understand the menu better as well as informing us well on what were the restaurant's best dishes. He was very attentive and polite. read more

This little hole in the wall in the Sedanos shopping center has pleasantly surprised us this quarantine. We found ourselves looking for new options in the neighborhood and came across this spot. We decided to give it a try and are happy to report that they have earned our business over and over again. The lomo saltado is not only delicious, but the portions are large enough to share. The food is always fresh and hot. They stick to their estimated pick up times when you call. We have never dined in, but while picking up to go orders we have witnessed their commitment to maintaining their employees and patrons safe: they have masks for anyone who approaches the door without one and have someone at the door giving hand sanitizer to everyone that comes in. read more

food was amazing huge portions wine was good also definately going back and highly recommend

Went to dinner to celebrate my birthday with a party of 18 people. Vicky our Waitress was amazing, all our orders where on point. The food was great as usual. Let me not forget the waiters that were assisting Vicky, they also deserve credit, thank you for making my bday dinner so pleasant read more

My first time eating Peruvian food and it was everything my boyfriend told me it would be. He's been coming here since it opened over 15 years ago. The chicken rotisserie is really delicious, as previously reviewed. The sides are huge. The sauces are amazing. Try the mussels or seafood soups. I'll be back soon! read more

Too expensive. Not worth it. Not courteous and rush you out. The place is close to me but I rather go somewhere else.

As a Peruvian i can approve that the food here is very authentic very delicious i recommend coming here. Great environment very chill.

Good food, and what they lack in ambiance and presentation they more than make up for in the warm, family-like friendliness of the staff. While not "worth your drive" good, especially nowadays the bar for Peruvian food is getting higher, if you are in the neighborhood, this is a solid choice. We've tried most of the dishes, our favorites include: the mussels loaded with tomato, onions and more, the green spaghetti (you can get it with fish instead of steak if you like), jalea mixto, chupa de camarones and the grilled beef heart. For ceviche I've tried better ones elsewhere. read more

The best Peruvian food I've ever eaten in Miami. Never disappoints! Highly recommend the leche de Tigre and Lomo Saltado!

So in the past I have raved about their food and service. But today I am pissed off, I ordered tacu tacu to go when I arrived 20 mins later the guy who took my order got it wrong and orders a tallarin verde which is not what I ordered. Then I had to wait another 10-15 minutes for the correct order and didn't even get offer a discount. It's not about the discount but my time and inconvenience. read more

Portions were very generous for "lunch size". We had the aji de gallina and the lomo saltado both were really good.

Tucked away in a mall on 152 street is this amazing little restaurant. From the moment you enter you feel at home. The rolls are brought to the table piping hit with the most fabulous green sauce for dipping. The aji de gallina is shredded chicken in most flavorful, creamy sauce that admittedly I used the aforementioned rolls to sop up upon completion. Served with potatoes and rice- I planned not to eat the rice but ended up using it to sop up the sauce as well. I only wish I had more rolls. Susprio de limena for dessert. Literal translation means woman's sigh and after tasting it, it's a perfect name. I expected little since it appeared premade and mass packed but it was outstanding. If licking the cup were socially acceptable and I could have gotten away with it without mortifying my companion, I do think I would have done it. Lomo soltado was a nice portion. The meat was tender the fries were crisp enough to absorb the sauce without getting overly soggy. Again served with rice that was not particularly necessary but was perfect for absorbing the extra sauce. My companion ordered rotisserie chicken fro the fast casual restaurant which shares a wall and apparently contributes to this menu. The chicken was moist and juicy and came with a choice if two sides. The yuca Frita was well cooked and seasoned. The portion was sizable and there was enough leftover to take home. I watched late after plate of fresh seafood passing by- it all look fresh and smelled lovely. I will be back soon to indulge, no doubt. Portions were large, check was adequate - be sure to bite that the gratuity is added Into the check already- service was quick and efficient. Nothing to complain about. read more

Great food and service. So far it's the best Peruvian food I've had and definitely recommend to others. FYI- not many speak English.

Great food and inexpensive when your looking to share a meal. Tried their Chaufa with steak or aka Steak Fried Rice with a wide order of fries. Big enough for 2 Adults and a growing teenager. However, their Ceviche ( raw seafood) is a bit pricey than other Peruvian places I've gone too and considering its in a shopping plaza I don't think the prices are reasonable enough. Dessert is great with their Piccarones, which is the Peruvian version of a doughnut in a sweet syrup sauce. All in all, will come again.. read more

My husband saw the reviews and said it looked good so we thought we would try this place since we just got done at the Zoo. We were pretty hungry. It is definitely a Spanish speaking restaurant so not sure if they speak much English. The lady didn't seem to speak to me much in English. It started out great we ordered our food. Then we ordered our appetizers and tasted good but it could of been better. Then we are sitting there waiting for our main course and someone who sat down after us already got their meal which was really weird. We finally got our meal then we asked where is the other meal for the kids they are hungry. Seem like she didn't even put the order in so I hate doing this but we told her to cancel the item. They started to eat our dinner and by the time the other food would of been brought out they would of been full and over it and ready to leave. Then she disappeared and was no where to be found for 15 mins and we were trying to leave because the kids were tired. At this point the bad service made this place not appealing at all to come back. Then on top of that they are guaranteed a tip already when you pay your bill. So she knew she was going to get a tip no matter what so she doesn't care of taking care of the table. One of the worst service I have ever had. Would not go back. Food is not worth it. They had big portions but not worth it for bad service read more

Craving some Peruvian food for lunch I found this unassuming location in a busy strip mall. The Loma Soltado lunch special was authentically delicious and a great value. The fish and shrimp in sauce was very well seasoned and gave a generous portion. I also had a generous side order of chocolo which was good. Service was quick and courteous, but I would have had trouble Communicating were it not for my bilingual wife with me. Let's give it a 3.5 overall read more
