I've had this bookmarked for over a year and we just made it in tonight. The chicken was delicious, as were the fried plantains (both the savory and sweet). Laid back casual atmosphere with great service. Our two-year-old loved the chicken too! read more

Excellent chicken pollo and steak! Their herb roasted chicken is succulent and moist with fantastic flavor from their seasonings and custom sauce. Their steak bistec was excellent in flavor and hearty. Will definitely come again. read more

Mi Peru is absolutely delicious! I forget the name of it but I had the steak, fries, rice, fried egg and plantain which was so good!My boyfriend had the rotisserie chicken which was also really, really good! We will definitely be back! read more

Love the chicken and got excellent service. Happy I found this gem.

Wow! I was not expecting much within an hour of closing time on a Sunday. We ordered the Roasted Chicken, fried plantain, rice and steamed vegetable medley. The service was quick, conscientious and the food was exceptional. Yes I have a eaten in many high end eateries but this little Gem is worth the travel. It is not pretentious and just provides good food. Come for the service and the food with no frills. read more

On business in RTP and was in the mood for Peruvian on a Wednesday night. The place was relatively empty. As others have posted, the decor and ambiance are very misleading. Ordered the fried yellow plantains and an order of the mixto ceviche, both delicious. All Mexican beers (unfortunately no Peruvian varieties) are $3.50 each. My only disappointment was that they were out of grouper ceviche, my initial choice. I guess running out of ceviche would be a good thing considering freshness. Would come back. read more

This is a great restaurant. Very tasty food. The rotisserie chicken is excellent. The waiters are very friendly and service is fast.

Didn't know what to expect, and this was very good. The food was very fresh and had great flavor. Fast service, reasonably priced, and liked how they put water on the table so we could help ourselves. Will come back! read more

Expensive and the food is not great. I love Peruvian food, and this wasn't what I expected. I ate "causa de pollo", "ceviche mixto" and a "house salad". read more

I normally don't write reviews but this restaurant's genuine service made me write one. Have always liked Peruvian food but it's always difficult to find vegetarian, however Mi Peru had good vegetarian options. Loved their green plaintain which was perfectly crisp and awesome. I am not a big fan of sweet yellow plaintains but Mi Peru's was an exception. This place is worth a try. read more

Great food! I got the half chicken with rice and vegetables for lunch. Lots of food with great flavor too. The Peruvian drinks were a pleasant surprise. We went out on the limb to try food from a different culture, and we were pleasantly surprised. read more

Authentic Peru stuff was great. The server gave me great recommendations and she's nice. The food was good and affordable.

This place is wonderful! My wife and I love it here. Very friendly staff, and excellent food. This is by far my favorite Peruvian restaurant in the Triangle. Get the Lomo Saltado. Wash it down with some Inca cola. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Mi peri has the best ceviche out there, would definitely recommend to friends and family !!

Great spot. Large selection of Peruvian dishes beyond rotisserie chicken. Wasn't the fastest for a lunch on a workday with 8 of us, but everyone left happy. read more

Great food, great service and all at a decent price! If you haven't had Peruvian cuisine, you need to check it out. It is unlike anything I've had before! read more

Had dinner for the second time at mi Peru. As usual the food was fantastic. Very authentic, freshly prepared, well seasoned. My daughter had a quarter dark chicken which was excellent-- moist, tender, very flavorful. I had the grouper sudado (fish stew) which was amazing. Large piece of fish that was beautifully poached in a very flavorful broth with onions and tomatoes. Served on the side with rice. Incredibly satisfying. The restaurant is clean and bright. The host was very gracious. The chef served us our food and was pleased that we had licked our plates clean. read more

Very good! Ordered the full roasted chicken with Jasmin rice and yellow plantains. Delicious!

Great food the waitress was great and gave exceptional service. We ordered a whole chicken with side of rice, beans, and salad it was well marinated comes with a yellow dipping sauce delicious! Chicken was juicy and tender. read more

Mi Perú Peruvian Cuisine - Inca kola - Peruvian Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Great service, the food was awesome, the restaurant was clean, and the prices were great! I'm so glad I work nearby so I can come back more often! read more

Absolutely terrible service. Only been open a month so they still have time to get their act together, but I looked around the restaurant and it wasn't only me, at least 4 other people had empty glasses. When you serve spicy food, people need something to drink. I came because I missed my beloved Alpaca (another Peruvian chicken restaurant), and while Mi Peru has a more varied menu, it's ~$4 more in all categories and it seems like you're paying for the sit down service. That's a problem when the service is atrocious. read more

Great ceviche in this neck of the woods. Go with time to spare as service is a bit laid back. Modest looking but clean.

This place has great food! love coming here because of the variety of menu options, prices are reasonable, and the "leche de tigre" is AMAZING. As Peruvian, could not be happier having this delicious food close to my workplace. Everyone is welcoming and helpful. read more

First of all, my experience with the staff was wonderful. Most locals will know that the location where Mi Peru is has had its fair share of failing restaurants since Rick's moved locations a few years back. It seems as though they are having the same struggles as when I walked in at about 6:30 on a Thursday evening there was not a soul to be found. Two members of the staff jumped up excitedly when I walked in and helped me peruse the menu while making suggestions and treating me as if I was a vaunted critic trying their restaurant. I had the Tacu Tacu with chicken which was pretty tasty and different than other South/Latin American dishes that I have tried. It came with a unique sauce as well that the waitress suggested I try. I also had some fried yucca on the side as I love yucca. Finally, I had some sort of drink made with purple corn and some spices that I cannot recall, but it was delicious. The portion was plenty large enough and the price was not unreasonable. All in all, a good meal, great service, and somewhere that I will definitely go back to as I hope that they have some success in a difficult location. I would suggest that they somehow up the ante on decor as it was somewhat drab. read more

Mi Peru is a wonderful little restaurant. My Mom just moved to Durham so we're just scoping out places. The server was very nice and it's a little family owned and run place. The food is wonderful and I'm a vegetarian and there was more than one option for me which rarely happens! We're so happy to have found this place and we will definitely be back! This place gets my 5 stars immediately! read more

Best Arroz Chaufa in Durham! Love the relaxed atmosphere here as well. Everytime I go here, the staff is amazing.

Had the 1/4 chicken with yuka, sweet potato and plantain fry. I had a plate of arroz chauf. The yuka was so-so but the rest was good. The ambience was nice and relaxed, the place was clean.Courteous staff and fast service. Overall I recommend the place for some nice Peruvian food . read more

Having lived in Peru, I found the food very authentic and the service very accommodating. I would not hesitate to recommend the restaurant and look forward to visiting it again. read more

I have been in the US for about 10 years missing my Peruvian food I looked for a Peruvian restaurant and found this one about 2 weeks ago and have not stopped going ever since! I must say this place takes me back to my home contry Peru!!! I love everything, from their Pollo a la Braza to their Ceviche de Tilapia. I have tried most of their menu and i look forward to bringing all my friends here!!! Love it!! read more

I have to give a lot of praise to this unassuming restaurant, tucked into the corner of a strip mall. My boyfriend and I walked into the restaurant, unsure of what to expect other than a quick scan of the reviews here. We have been to the "other" Peruvian restaurant in town and highly enjoyed the rotisserie chicken there, but they are not open the night we went. The menu at Mi Peru was more extensive, and despite pictures that really don't do the food justice, they looked good enough to steer us away from the rotisserie and toward other entrees. I ordered the Tacu Tacu with saltado chicken. I was presented with a gorgeous, appetizing plate with chicken strips and mixed grilled veggies, and a generous mound of spiced fried rice. The food tasted even better than it looked. I'm so glad we took a chance! read more

We ate here last night for the second time. Food is excellent and well prepared. A friend, from Peru, says it is very authentic. The owner come to your table to welcome you and thank you for your business.. We will eat here often, please join us. read more

Shredded beef dish wow. The beans and rice we're perfectly done. I look forward to going back next week for lunch. There is a fish dish that I would like to try as well. The sauces that they use are very good. My only complaint is atmosphere is a bit cafeteria like. read more

The chicken is excellent and I'd come back, just for the terrific customer service and welcoming atmosphere!

Most delicious place in town... REAL Peruvian food cooked by a REAL Peruvian abuela who will often come out to your table, to greet you :) Incredible seviche, incredible steak, incredible fish soup, fried yucca... I could go on and on. And, munching on some "Peruvian popcorn" while sipping on a beer and talking with friends or watching a soccer game on the tv are just bonuses. We are addicted! We feel compelled to go here and to introduce friends to this wonderful, authentic fare, as often as possible. I could not recommend this place more enthusiastically! If you like fresh, clean, flavorful food profiles... it's a MUST! read more

we've eaten here twice and i've enjoyed the food but after our last visit, we won't be going back. the server intentionally entered a different total amount. i even looked at a number pad to give him the benefit of the doubt but there's no mistake. my total on 8/3 was 21.10 and my bank posted a charge for 23.49. i could understand one digit being off but i can't explain this away. read more

Maybe my problem was seeing "Peruvian Cuisine" and thinking "Oh, this will be like Mami's/Alpaca's".... NOT AT ALL the same. The chicken was a strange texture (I've never before encountered chicken that seemed simultaneously over- AND under-cooked - I cannot explain the texture). After asking for Peruvian green anj sauce the waiter brought me two different kinds. Both tasted very similar, and both were more of a salad dressing. To be fair, he warned me one WAS in fact salad dressing, but that does not explain the extreme similarity and bad taste of both. Needless to say, the weird-textured chicken and rice just dry with no sauce wasn't fun (I don't do beans). And this is just a few hundred feet from my office, so it is extremely disappointing. I do not know how their ratings are so high, unless it was a REALLY off day for them when I came in, or if the other Yelpers have just never had good Peruvian chicken before... I do not like giving bad reviews, but I have to warn anyone else thinking like I did that they know what they are walking in to. Please correct me if you are familiar with Peruvian food and are blown away by this place. The server was great, no problem with him or any other facet of my experience here - I am strictly speaking for the food. read more

I had never been to a Peruvian restaurant before but my wife and I read some of the 5-star glowing reviews and decided to try it on Dec 11, 2019 and goodness, what a great decision that was; everything was outstanding! I hesitate to write this review because I selfishly want to keep this place for just my wife and I but it is a family-run operation with outstanding customer service and the word will spread soon anyway so the long lines and hard-to-get reservations are the inevitable destination for this place. We tried several dishes and all were very flavorful; nice portions (we had to take some it home afterward as leftovers were enough for another meal) and check this, I even asked for some small plastic cups/lids to pour the leftover sauces from each of our dish plates so that we could use it to soak up with homemade bread to eat tomorrow or the weekend as a standalone meal - never done that before from any restaurant in my whole life!! I had Choros a la Chaca (Mussels appetizer) which was packed full of ceviche flavors -awesome - and Sudado de Pescado w/Sea Bass and it was to die for, too. My wife had fried plantains, Choclo a la Huancaina and Chaufa de Camarones. If you want to introduce your tastebuds to a completely new world of deliciousness, head over to Mi Peru Peruvian Cuisine Durham. The address sneaks up on you off Sharon Rd in Durham. We had outstanding service from Manuel; food was lightning fast served! We'll be going back there again soon. If this place were a 100-seat venue on Franklin Street-Chapel Hill, you wouldn't be able to get a seat or reservation anytime! read more

Great for vegetarians! The rice with sunnyside eggs was yummy and full of veggies and beans

Go here. Very good food, friendly and fast service, and excellent overall value. See below: I became a fan of Peruvian rotisserie chicken when I lived in DC. There are many of these places in northern Virginia. Mi Peru is legit in that the food is as good and the service and cleanliness is better than anything I ever had when I lived up there. I have been to Mi Peru a couple of times now and the food and service has been consistently very good. The chicken is moist and very flavorful. The yuca fries are hot right out of the fryer so they are crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, the dipping sauces are great and they are not stingy if you want extra. I have tried a couple of the appetizers and they have been very good too. Service is sit down, friendly, and fast. This was a nice change from what I was used to in northern VA where you usually have to order from a hectic counter. I don't think Mi Peru serves alcohol...Im not a fan of the very sweet latin sodas. They should get a license to serve beer because it would pair well with the food. The prices are very reasonable and the overall value of this restaurant is excellent. read more
