I made lunch reservations at El Embarcadero for a going-away lunch for a good friend after hearing…read moreso many wonderful things about it, and I'm really glad we went. We started by sharing the scallops as an appetizer, and they were absolutely delicious--one of my favorite parts of the meal. They were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. I wasn't really hungry, so I ordered the leche de tigre and it was incredibly satisfying--fresh, juicy, bright, lemony, and full of citrus flavor. I especially loved that fresh lime taste; it made the dish feel so vibrant. My friends ordered a few different entrées, and I got to try a little bit of everything. Everything looked amazing, but I especially loved the shrimp risotto. For dessert, the maracuyá cheesecake was completely out of this world--so divine. It paired perfectly with an Americano coffee and was the perfect way to end the meal. The one disappointment for me was the sangria. We all shared some, and unfortunately it tasted watered down, more like diluted wine than a true house-made sangria. I was really hoping for something fresher and more flavorful. Overall, I had a lovely experience. The food and dessert were definitely the highlights, and I would absolutely come back. Next time I'd love to try one of their cocktails and order a full entrée of my own.

From the ceviche to the main dishes, everything was absolutely flavorful and well presented. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole visit even better. If you're looking for great Peruvian cuisine, this place is definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended! Excelente experiencia. La comida peruana es auténtica y llena de sabor. Todo estaba fresco y muy bien preparado; cada plato tenía un sabor increíble. El servicio fue muy amable y atento, lo que hizo la visita aún más agradable. Sin duda es un lugar al que volveré y que recomiendo a cualquiera que quiera disfrutar de buena comida peruana.

I have never been so disappointed after spending so much money at a Peruvian restaurant…read more I'm a foodie, and I have no problem paying $$$$ for a meal if it's worth it. One thing about me: I'm absolutely obsessed with Peruvian cuisine. Unfortunately, this place completely missed the mark. The service was terrible from the start. They use electronic tablets as menus, but mine was dead. I had to wait nearly 10 minutes just to get someone's attention and receive a replacement. That's just the beginning. My food arrived before my drinks, and I had to repeatedly ask for a bottle of water and a spoon. I ordered the chaufa, and it was incredibly oily. It didn't even have the proper color or flavor you'd expect from a good Peruvian fried rice. I would've taken a photo, but by that point we had already waited so long that I just wanted to eat. To make matters worse, the dish was mostly rice with maybe 10 pieces of chicken scattered throughout. I left half of it untouched. I also ordered ceviche and specifically wanted shrimp and fish. Instead, they brought me fish only and somehow upsold me to a different fish that I never asked for. Of course, I didn't find that out until the bill arrived. Overall, it was overpriced, disappointing, and nowhere near worth the money. Save yourself the frustration and spend your hard-earned money somewhere else.

Stumbled across this place in Hollywood completely by chance. I was craving Peruvian, searched…read morenearby, and this place popped up. I'll be honest, when we pulled in, we almost turned around. The restaurant looked like it was under renovation, and it was completely empty. But let this be a reminder: never judge a restaurant by first impressions. We gave it a shot, and I'm so glad we did. The woman taking care of us was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially with my wife's special requests. The service was warm and welcoming from start to finish. Now for the food... wow. The Lomo Saltado was great. The steak was cooked perfectly, the flavors were outstanding, and everything tasted fresh. Even the salad was excellent, which isn't something I usually rave about. Funny part. When we walked in, I thought, "Uh-oh... why is nobody here?" But as soon as we finished our food, it was like someone flipped a switch. The place started filling up, and by the time we walked out, it was packed. I guess we just arrived at the perfect time! It does look like they're expanding and renovating the restaurant, which is great to see. I'm not just going to tell you to try Kausitas.... I'm going to tell you to run there. Outstanding food, a hidden gem that's absolutely worth discovering. We'll definitely be back.

My family and I have frequented this restaurant many times because the food is genuinely very good…read more Unfortunately, after our most recent experience, we decided we won't be returning. We visited on Tuesday night as a party of 7 (5 adults and 2 children), and we were actually the only customers dining inside the restaurant. I had called ahead beforehand to confirm they were open and let them know the size of our party. When we arrived, the table was nicely prepared, which we appreciated. The food itself was great. That has never been the issue. What completely changed the experience for us was the automatic 25% gratuity added to the bill. When I politely asked why the gratuity was so high, I was told their structure is based on party size: 18% for 3+ people, 20% for 5+, and 25% for 7+. While the receipt does mention that parties of 3 or more are subject to a service charge, nowhere are those percentages clearly disclosed beforehand. A 25% automatic gratuity for a table of 7, especially in an otherwise empty restaurant with average service, feels excessive and misleading. For context, I am not someone who refuses to tip. I regularly tip 18-20%, even when service is mediocre, because I understand this is how servers make a living. But customers should be allowed to decide whether service warrants 25%, not have it automatically imposed without clear transparency. What made it worse was the dismissive attitude we received when simply asking about it. Again, the food was good. That's what makes this disappointing. But good food alone does not make up for poor customer experience and lack of transparency. Will not be returning.

We started out with some eggrolls and special wonton soup. The eggrolls were okay but the soup, it was fantastic! Next we had a small order of special fried rice, it was enough for four people. But more important was how good it was. We also beef and veggies over noodles. Also an enormous amount and very good. We finished it off with a rather large plate of fried chicken in a lemon sauce. The best thing about it was the lemon sauce. The flavor was incredibly good. Leftovers! We plenty of them. Other then the service was a little bit slow in the beginning and they dont have a soda fountain, and use can sodas, we really enjoyed our meal.

Attention all Peruvians! I don't want to tell you how amazing this place is because I'm afraid it…read morewill get too busy! Listen to me when I say this, I've tried every Peruvian restaurant in all of South Florida and this one is the best of all. A hidden little spot in a strip plaza you would not expect to find such amazing food. If you are reading this, stop reading and go eat here. You will not regret it. The ceviche is amazing and fresh. Each component tastes like it should. The rocoto is fresh and even has black specs from the actual seeds. The sauces are amazing, they have a fresh jalapeño one that does not have huacatay but it's so good you barely miss it. Every dish that I've tried has been excellent. The arroz chaufa (and I'm not one who loves arroz chaufa) is the best arroz chaufa I have ever had. The tallarin verdes are epic. The Lomo Salgado is tender and juicy. The portions are on point. The papa à la huancaina is bomb. The only thing that tops the food is the wonderful and attentive service. If you are looking for amazing Peruvian food, look no further!

When we first arrived, our waiter completely forgot about us and another waiter had to step in and help. My husband ordered a seafood soup, and the waiter's assistant brought it out... but with no spoon. We waited about 5 minutes before she came back with a tiny dessert spoon for a seafood soup I asked the hostess if we could please get a proper spoon. She kept walking in and out until finally she told us that all the spoons in the restaurant were occupied and we had to wait. Meanwhile the soup had already been sitting there for over 10 minutes getting cold. At the end, Alejandro the only person actually trying to help finally went and found a spoon himself. By then my husband didn't even want the soup anymore. Our original waiter finally came back and asked if we wanted him to reheat the soup ‍ My husband said no, please just take it away and bring the check. Then the waiter says, "Look, I removed the soup from the bill," as if that fixed the situation The saddest part is that no manager ever came over, nothing. Everyone acted like this was completely normal. The only person who genuinely tried to resolve the situation was Alejandro.
