    I really enjoyed dinner here, came on a Wednesday evening around 6p and it was slow so I was seated right away. Ambience is nice for date night , girls night or solo. Service was really good from hostess to server. Food was good I got the popular ceviche I forget the name but it came with shrimp, catch of the day and calamari it was really good and fresh and for entree I got the lomo saltado and it was really good and flavorful and beef was tender. Oddly the rice was really good and idk why because it wasn't anything special but it tasted really good. I'll definitely be back, looking forward to trying the octopus appetizer or ceviche.

    Potatoes
    Archeta R.

    I was super excited to finally try out this place after reading such great things! We started with the potatoes and the yuca appetizers, both of which were absolutely delicious and unique. We also had a few drinks - I had the Luchita which was very mezcal forward and refreshing. As for the mains, as a vegetarian, I was really excited about the cauliflower, but was extremely disappointed that the main was not available for dinner that day. I was surprised to say the least, but also disappointed that they wouldn't come up with a substitution given it's the ONLY vegetarian main on the menu. After asking for some options, I had to settle for the vegetarian ceviche. This was tasty and pretty to look at, but certainly not filling as a dinner item given it's a melange of vegetables. I'd love to come back to re-evaluate once I'm able to try the cauliflower, but for now I was left wanting more at this place! My friends did enjoy their octopus and seafood rice - though one friend had way more calamari on her rice plate than the other. Overall, this is a pretty spot with quality food for a date night or a girls night, but there are some kinks to be worked out before I can really give them all the credit for those positives!

    First all you should know I LOVE Peruvian food and this place met all my expectations. Very fun chill vibe with very nice and attentive staff. The ceviche we ordered was very different from others I've had with the calamari on top. Wasn't sure how it would play out but it was great! The sauce was nice and refreshing and the sweet potato and calamari gave it a great texture experience. I can almost taste it as I write this review. The octopus dish was slightly chewy compared to other places but the taste made up for it. For our main course we went with a rice dish. I would have preferred the rice to be a bit dryer. It was however loaded with tasty seafood. Overall a great place that will not disappointment. Food is as tasty as it is visually pleasing. Can't wait to go there again in the future.

    Raices De La Costa (4.5/5)
    Ryan S.

    We got the Acevichado Roll (4.5/5), Raices De La Costa (4.5/5), and Ceviche Carretillero (4.5/5), and all were great! The roll was a nice twist on sushi that I liked a lot more than almost all sushi I have had! The chalaquita added a nice warmth to the raices, and all the flavors blended together super well; it was our favorite dish of the night. The ceviche was also great and better than most I have had. I was skeptical that crispy calamari would work in it, but it really did! The service was good (4/5); our waitress was knowledgeable and gave us good suggestions and advice since it was our first time eating Peruvian food. The interior of the restaurant is very well decorated, and it has a nice ambiance (4/5)! When you arrive, they ask you if you want to do their cleansing ritual, which is dumping warm water over your hands and them giving you a warm lavender scented towel to dry your hands with.

    Lomo saltado

    Looking forward to Peruvian food, it was exciting to hear about a new place opening up. Based on a spur of the moment decision, we did not make reservations but were also more than happy to sit at their bar. Upon entering, there is a "ceremonial" hand cleaning service in which they pour some water from a pitcher and give you a heated towel to wipe them after. Already seemed very gimmicky but oh well. We got a couple round of drinks including their pisco sour and meszcal cocktails. Drinks were well prepared but the food took so long to come out. We got their Raices de la costa and lomo saltado which took well over 40 minutes. This was after they brought out the wrong dish initially. I really liked the rice and thought the portion size was good. BUT for $40 it really needs to be more. Lomo saltado was salty but not anything crazy. Overall, we had a pleasant experience but the price point is very uncalled. Ambiance is pretty and inviting but the costs is a big turn off. I do not see myself coming back as I believe there are plenty of other places that have more to offer for a more comfortable price.

    We dined here last night. We had the fried yucca appetizer. It wasn't bad but was odd. I love yucca fries. Such a wonderful texture and crunch. These were the consistency of mashed potatoes inside and crispy fried on the outside. It was not what I was expecting and definitely not something I would have ordered had I known. The lomo saltado was wonderful. Lots of small potatoes, onions, and tomatoes to go with the beef and served with rice. It was delicious. Our waitress was great. The restaurant is very bright and open. We enjoyed our meal.

    This was a super fun dining experience! The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and is so lively. We had a 9:00pm dinner on Friday night and the DJ was out performing the whole time... very fun! Our food was great and full of flavor. We definitely recommend the Ceviche Carritellero!! You can skip the inferno half chicken... kind of bland and definitely better options. I would definitely return here and this time sit at the lively bar!

    The restaurant is beautiful and airy. Love the open concept with the ceviche bar. Sooo creative. The staff was lovely and the service was efficient and kind. I ordered the ceviche which was incredible! Learned Peruvian style doesn't have chips but loved it alongside the bread. They brought me a spicy sauce which was incredible!! I ordered a Smokey mezcal tequila drink. LOVE the cool presentation and the drink was tasty. The entire staff was wonderful.

    Yelp Review: 5/5 - A Culinary Experience I'll Never Forget Possibly the best meal and experience I've ever had anywhere--and that's saying a lot. From the moment we walked in to the final bite, everything was flawless. We were celebrating our friend Jordan's 30th birthday, and this place went above and beyond to make it unforgettable. Service: Our server, Mya (I hope I'm spelling that right), was hands-down one of the best I've ever had. 5/5 for attentiveness, charm, and deep knowledge of the menu. She had us laughing all night while still managing to keep everything flowing perfectly. She makes doing an exceptional job look effortless. Culinary Leadership: We were honored to be greeted by the world-renowned Head Chef Carlos Enriquez, who personally introduced the menu to us. He was warm, cool, and passionate--and every single recommendation he made was spot on. The dishes he brought to life were genuinely some of the tastiest I've ever had. Starters: * Ceviche Carretillero - Easily the best dish I've ever had in my life. A symphony of flavors: light, citrusy, with perfectly marinated seafood and that addictive crunch of cancha corn on top. It instantly took me back to my Bahamian roots, eating conch salad by the ocean. Refreshing, vibrant, and masterfully balanced. 5/5 * Spicy Classic Ceviche - Packed with bold flavor and just the right amount of heat. The fish was incredibly fresh, and the citrus marinade brought everything together with finesse. 5/5 Drinks: * Forest Infusion - A gin-based botanical infusion presented in this gorgeous vessel that you pour yourself. It was aromatic, refreshing, and visually stunning. 5/5 * Andean Night - A smooth Peruvian black corn bourbon cocktail. Rich, slightly sweet, and beautifully balanced. A unique drink with a cultural twist. 4/5 * Chilcano - A simple yet elegant blend of pisco and ginger ale. Light, crisp, and refreshing. 4/5 * Pisco Shots - To top it off, Chef Carlos surprised us with celebratory shots for Jordan! The bartending staff even came over to break down the drinks and share insights. That kind of hospitality and personal touch goes a long way. Main Courses: * Chaufa Aeropuerto - Peruvian fried rice elevated to an art form. Smoky, savory, with the perfect texture--crispy yet fluffy. The mix of seafood and meats was divine. 5/5 * Inferno Half Chicken - Chicken is rarely the highlight, but this? Moist, tender, and bursting with flavor. Seasoned perfectly and cooked to juicy perfection. 5/5 * Lomo Saltado - Stir-fried tenderloin beef that melted in your mouth. Packed with umami, and the sauce tied it all together beautifully. Jordan, who's a chef himself, said it was one of his favorite dishes ever. That says it all. * Paella COSTA - The crown jewel. A Peruvian take on paella that was nothing short of spectacular. Every bite was a harmonious mix of fresh seafood, savory rice, and bold seasoning. It was soulful, complex, and comforting all at once. BEST DISH EVER. Final Thoughts: Massive thank you to Chef Carlos Enriquez, Mya, and the incredible bar staff for making Jordan's 30th birthday one for the books. Every part of this meal was crafted with love and intention. I will absolutely be back to explore more of this exceptional menu and enjoy the warm, professional hospitality all over again. 5/5 stars--unforgettable.

    We came for an early dinner. We like to taste Peruvian restaurants in different towns and countries. So glad we chose this one in Atlanta. It was all delicious. The ceviche was well made. The lomo meat was succulent. The drinks strong and tasty. Our waiter , his name escapes me. He spoke Spanish well for a non latino. He would check on us all the time and made recommendations. The decor was beautiful and inviting. If I ever return to Atlanta , I will for sure return here.

    Beautiful restaurant with multiple vegetarian options, great service and tasty drinks. They are relatively new and are across from Tongue and Groove. Beautiful decor with a nice bar. The yucca was my favorite vegetarian dish. I Reccomended and also plan to to back and try the remaining vegetarian dishes I haven't yet.

    Got to try out this new Latin Peruvian restaurant. It's very tropical and pretty inside anchored by a nice bar!!! Upon entering, they wash your hands. Love!!! They have an amazing ceviche menu and a ceviche bar. A must try is the octopus tiradito ceviche and the fried rice - Chaufa aeropuerto. If you like gin, try the Forest Infusion. Love its presentation. Make your way to this new Peruvian restaurant to try their innovative cocktail selections and their ceviches.

    Ambiance

    This is a newer Peruvian place, and it is definitely worth a try. Semi-Disclaimer: I was asked to write a good review. This erks me, especially as I probably would have already done so, since I think it's worth a stop and was already taking pictures of my food for a review. I would have given this place 5 stars, but being asked to write a review is -1 star for me. My order: the scallops and the tuna ceviche, and pisco sour. Scallops: fine, probably wouldn't order again. They lacked the scallop flavour. I think the parm may have overpowered them. When I eat scallop, I look for the fish flavour. Pisco sour: good, and the egg whites were a nice touch. Size was also there. Tuna ceviche- good, but I thought the yellow creamy sauce drizzle over powered it. I would consider ordering this again, without the orange sauce. I liked the sauce and it reminded me of tamarind. My coworker got the special ceviche trio appetizer - which was good but absolutely not worth the $40 price, and the fried seafood was good but not super. I think the fry was a bit too heavy for me. She got an infusion drink which was delicious. Ambiance was really cool, and the little hand wash when you enter was a novel experience for me and was a nice touch. The decor is truly fully immersive. Service was friendly Paid parking near by in a garage. (On the adjacent block, plenty of parking on the Tuesday evening) In all I probably will be back. The food was good. Next time I would try a different appetizer and just get the traditional ceviche.

They hold a jazz night every Tuesday with live music for a nice chill, yet fun, vibe. Just a warning, the space inside is pretty small--typically there's optional seating outside, but it's really chilly at the moment (although they have heaters)--but there's more seating downstairs in The Victorian Atlanta plant shop. I didn't realize that the two were connected! FYI, if you sit downstairs, you'll be seated next to where the live music performers will be playing, so it will be louder there. As for the drinks, I tried the Zombie. I loved it so much, I ordered a second one instead of trying a different one! It tasted sweet and slightly tropical with the rum and spiced liqueur. It also had some absinthe, which I was worried about when I first ordered it since I hate the taste of it (not a big fan of black licorice flavors), but I didn't taste it at all! Overall, this place had such a great vibe to it!
