If you've never had Peruvian ceviche, you're missing out on something special. My mother fell in love with the lomo saltado. I recommend getting multiple dishes to share because there's too many good options. Overall, the food brought back many memories of my time in Peru. The flight of pisco sours was beautiful and delicious, as was the chicha morada. But the bast part of all was the waitstaff. Our server, Sheila, was the sweetest and helped make it a wonderful experience!

Oye. I understand child care can be difficult but the waitress brought her two children, including…read morea toddler, who screamed incessantly for our entire meal. The waitress heard the child screaming several times and just walked out of the room. This seems to be a regular occurrence too since none of the staff seemed to notice or do anything. To add to the misery the food also came out cold. Pisco sour flight was too sweet, almost half the two flavored drinks was syrup. Ceviche had only a sliver of yuca but the sauce was good. Note, I've spent time in Peru and eaten in several Peruvian restaurants. The lomo saltado used too much soy compared to traditional dishes I've had. And then to top off the terrible experience I waited twenty minutes for the bill. Suffice to say if you don't want a migraine and meh food try something else. The experience was one I won't be repeating ever again.

The noodles were perfectly cooked and almost melted in your mouth, and the broth was incredible. Our server recommended the Mancora roll, which ended up being delicious, and the salmon tiraditos were phenomenal. Super fresh, flavorful, and beautifully done. The spicy tuna roll was really good too, but definitely has a kick, so just a heads up if you're sensitive to spice. The drinks are also a highlight. The cocktails are fun and the pisco options are a cool change from your typical menu. Service was great. Friendly, helpful, and gave solid recommendations. Parking is easy with street parking and nearby lots around Hopkins, which is always a plus.

TLDR: Food good, drinks excellent, service problematic, prices high…read more Now, let's dig in. This is NOT a review for dinner, this is a review for sitting at the bar, having some nibbles and drinks, and learning what they do and how they do it. Food: The ceviche is genuinely solid. It is not a large portion for the price point, but, the leche de tigre is a good balance of coconut, sweetness, and lime, the fish is fresh, and if you ask for it spicy, there are good hot peppers on it, The fried yuca, meh. It's OK, it's yuca, it's fried, it soaks up pisco. the sauce served with it should fall upon its sword. Drink: I really appreciated the chance to try multiple piscos, distilled from the same grape, but with different terroir. I could taste it and that was super cool. Also, I tried out the chica sour and I am modestly convinced that the sours are the way to go here, my reason for wanting to come back is those cocktails. Lovely foam, great sour/sweet/booze balance, I could drink several of these (and I SHOULDN'T, this is the suburbs and I have to drive). Service: I sat down at the bar and nobody gave me an actual MENU until the third time they asked "do you need anything?" and then I pointed out that you have to give the guest a menu if you want him to order stuff. Bro. Also, when I ask for a water without ice, maybe you shouldn't put ice in it? You know, just a thing, not a complex recipe? This is kinda remarkable bc they have 4 ppl behind the bar, at 5pm, at the time I'm typing this. This is not an understaffed establishment. Does nobody here understand basics? And finally, OK, price. Yes, I am in Hopkins, it has very wealthy white ppl, I know. But wow, I had two appetizers and two drinks and I;m in for $80? Perhaps this is reasonable bc fish, but only one of those 4 things had fish in it. I am fairly confident that we are playing the "white people don't know, charge them all the dollars" game, and I am annoyed that this means that I as brown people can't come back here reliable. That is a pity bc there is good stuff above I want to explore.

Grateful this place was open last night for dinner despite the 4th of July holiday…read more Spacious and clean, nicely air conditioned, a screensaver of nature on the tv screens, medium loud music in Spanish. Our server was very pleasant and attentive, refilling our waters before we asked. I ordered mango smoothie and a seco de pollo and my friend ordered a caldo de gallina (Ecuadorian chicken soup) and a side salad. Our food came out hot and delicious in about 20 minutes. Very satisfying. The sauce on my chicken (seco de pollo) was rich and savory, the rice perfectly cooked and the fried plaintains perfection. If I lived in the area, I'd become a regular!

This is the kind of establishment where the food speaks for itself, and there is a lot of it on your plate. Humitas - These corn tamales are just as good, maybe even better than Chimborazo's. If you have a group of four or so, get these so all can have a bite, and you won't get filled up before your entree arrives. Patacones - We loved these! Who doesn't love mashed fried plantains? Add the cheese to them, you won't be sorry. Arepas Con Carnitas - These were wonderful. Two on a plate, and could honestly be a whole meal. I can't recall what the sauce was on them, but that was quite good. Carne Apanada o Asada - This was enjoyable. the breaded steak (round steak I think?) was unadorned with any sauce. I was a bit concerned this was going to be dry, but adding some of the rice and beans to your fork made it plenty good. Speaking of beans. I have no idea how they make them or what ingredients they use, but these really are the best beans I have ever eaten in MPLS. They are so good that I would just order a bowl of these beans and a couple of arepas and be perfectly content. Please support this restaurant and stop in for lunch/dinner. You will not be disappointed.

It's the whole "oh it's upscale so less is more" concept. And listen, yes, the lamb was amazingly tasty, as were the veggies that came with it. I'm definitely not saying the food wasn't good; it was excellent, it just sorta felt like a rip-off? And the chocolate torte the four of us shared at the end was also REALLY yummy (but $10 for a small slice w/ a scoop of vanilla, so it better be). If you've got money to blow, by all means, but for the majority of us, this ain't it. I was sincerely dubious the moment we drove up. The place is in a hole-in-the-wall run-down strip mall and the parking lot is full of potholes. The Chinese place right beside it looks like they haven't replaced their signage in thirty years, or maybe they're outta business. When we proceeded inside I could tell the owners had done their best to convert a crappy space into something roleplaying as modern and fancy. It felt a little out of place. The ambiance wasn't all that stellar (which is normally not something I much bother commenting on, but again if you're gonna charge thirty bucks a plate, I begin to factor in more nit-picky things like that); there wasn't any music or anything to cover up the perpetual mechanical hum that seemed to emanate from the kitchen? The bathrooms had a similar kind of "gloss" over it. I was unimpressed that the men's was just a unisex stall without a urinal or anything that actually makes it "men's." Like, just convert your two single stall bathrooms into gender-neutral or all-gender (literally all that takes is swapping signage) so people aren't "waiting" for the "correct gendered toilet" when there's zero difference between the two. It's 2026, y'all. We don't need to practice pointless segregation. Service was reasonably quick, food was hot. The server did a good job of keeping up with my in-laws' unslakeable thirst for iced tea. Everyone was polite enough to us. And I appreciated they were open fairly late into the evening on a Tuesday!

I only noticed two servers taking care of everyone, and as busy as it was, I never felt forgotten. Our servers were friendly, efficient, helpful, and very welcoming. The meal was tasty. I got the Lomo Saltado lunch entree. The rice was seasoned lightly but deliciously. The beef included bell peppers and onions which paired nicely with the rice. The salad was supposed to include a vinaigrette, but I didn't notice anything. Nevertheless it was fine, as was the yuca which had a little green coating. The tres Leche was very good, and had a little toasted coconut on top. I would definitely get again. This is in a part of town I'm not familiar with so I would have never known it was there had my friend nor suggested it. That said I would return and recommend it to others.

Every meal…read moreand every visit has been consistently fantastic, which is why it's one of our favorite places to bring family and friends. We first discovered San Pedro's from a "best patios" list in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, decided to try it for a date night, and we've been hooked ever since. It's always worth the drive across the border into Wisconsin for this gem! The jerk chicken nachos are our absolute FAVORITE--we order them every single time. They're perfectly layered so every bite has that cheesy, flavorful goodness instead of everything sitting on top. A newer obsession of ours is the street corn pizza. It's the perfect balance of sweet and heat and easily one of the most unique, delicious pizzas we've tried. The cocktails always deliver, especially the jalapeño blood orange margaritas and the mojitos. San Pedro's is absolutely worth the wait for a table--especially if you can snag a spot on the patio!
