We went for Wednesday Ladies' Night and had the best time with the girls. The food was really tasty, we had Peruvian beer. The cocktails were just okay, but [[HIGHLIGHT]]the real highlight was the vibe, great music and a super fun host who kept the party going all night.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was a little slow, but the place was packed, so it's understandable. We'll definitely be back for another Ladies' Night. read more

A little dissapointing -- this restaurant has always been a favorite for lunch. Very nice lunch specials - the food was consistently good and very tasty and good lunch prices. Well, they got a new menu, prices went up 3.00 for lunch specials, which would have been fine if they gave you the same amount of food with the same Great taste. They fell short on both - the Aji de Gallina was the quarter of the size that they once offered and had absolutely no taste. Not sure how soon we will go back . The service- server spoke no English. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance, well that spruced things up and it looks real nice.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If only they Would go back to serving the tasty food with decent portions. read more

Excellent service! Very welcoming and attentive service. The food was very good and good size portions.

Wow! First time in here and I just live right around the corner. The food was awesome ! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great atmosphere, although a little bright on the lighting, but wonderful ![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Will be back either dine in or takeout! Service was great and food was excellent . I wonderful Saturday night out . read more

We've been coming here for years, back when they were located on Beneva and Clark. Unfortunately, they have fallen off quite a bit. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Portions are smaller, service was slow to nonexistent and the restaurant is rundown and dirty.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] First time I ever left less than a 20% tip and the first time I ever left hungry. It's a shame because I want to support a local business but this was unacceptable. I couldn't even flag anyone down to come to our table. read more

The high point of the meal were the house wines. Very generous pours at $6 a glass . I really liked the Ribena Sur Merlot. Smooth fruity, very pleasant. My wife got a Pinot Grigio. I got the grilled Corvina my wife got the grilled chicken with Shrimp. Both were too salty for our tastes but we use very little salt at home. The chicken was over cooked, but the Chimchurri sauce was nice. The corvina was perfectly cooked, it is a bland fish and it relies on the sauce for flavor. Service was very fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Decor was basic but pleasant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My wife rated it a 3.5. I gave it a 4 because I really liked the wine. read more

Best Peruvian in town. Great selections and great staff. Try the Ceviche. You won't be disappointed.

My family & friends have been coming to this as well as their old location for many years and have Always enjoyed it. The last 3 times we have Not. The prices 'keep' rising. The shrimp skewers have changed drastically, now the shrimp are small and dry..nothing at all like the perfectly grilled, flavorful & juicy shrimp that we were always served. We gave it 2 extra visits hoping it was an off night, unfortunately there was 0 improvement in our next visits. Not sure if we will return. It is the same owner, sure hope she reads this and changes back to the way it was. read more

Been coming here every other day and mostly ordered the same. Their food is so good we didn't have the will power to venture out and try other places. On the last day, we thought of trying their other goodies. Wow, everything we have chosen are very tasty. Not to mention huge servings. Check the pics as they speak louder than words and actually eating here is louder, like being in the mosh pit of Breaking Benjamin concert. read more

In April 2021, my wife and I ate at their old restaurant location. We just ate in the new place and here's my review from the last time because we ordered the exact same thing by sheer coincidence. BTW, the new place is much roomier and comfortable. I had the dish that had fried, breaded fish with seafood on top in a cream sauce.  I almost cried it was so good.  The fish was fried wonderfully and even though it was covered in the cream sauce and seafood, the breading held up well.  The seafood was cooked perfectly and the sides of rice and yucca was perfect to sop up the sauce. My wife went the healthier route and had the grilled corvina.  Once again, this meal was cooked perfectly.  The corvina was grilled just right and the chimichurri was the right topping.  The fried plaintain was also delicious. Their food is absolutely delicious.  If you want a great meal, you should eat here!! read more

Delicious food. Excellent and friendly service. Ambience is informal. The chimichurri is delicious. I had it with chicken & shrimp. The grilled chicken was particularly excellent. Nice char on the outside, tender & juicy inside. Perfect texture. Came with basic salad & tasty dressing as well as yucca and yummy sweet plantains. Wife really enjoyed the chimichurri fish. Portions pretty big. No room for dessert. Recommended. read more

I was in town for work and craving Peruvian food, I found a few places in town and decided on this spot since it was close and had good reviews and it did not disappoint.

First time eating Peruvian food and OMG!!! literally have no words to describe how AMAZING everything was! I am Hungarian so i really do appreciate a nice home-cooked meal with lots of spices and this restaurant's food was definitely that and even more. The flavors of both dishes we had was phenomenal, So creamy and flavorful! Wish i could describe how amazing the taste and flavors were because the pictures doesn't do its justice but i can't so all i can say is, GO TRY IT OUT! You won't be disappointed. You are missing out if you haven't been to this restaurant yet. We got the LOMO A LO MACHO (grilled beef in peruvian yellow pepper sauce with seafood on top with white rice, yuca and platains) And TALLARIN VERDE (Spaghetti with spinach and basil sauce with beef) we also had to have traditional Peruvian beer: cusquena & Pilsen And dessert : Alfajor (soft dulce de leche cookie) sooo delicious read more

Peruvian Grill Restaurant - Tallarin Verde, Lomo a lo Macho - Peruvian Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

Great food, service and the portions and price are just right. I will definitely be back next time I'm in town again.

First time here. Loved it from beginning to end. Paella, corvina two ways all delicious! Appetizers was amazing. Chocolate cake which is made at home by the owner is out of this world! The atmosphere is quiet and like a little neighborhood drop-in. The Malbec was lovely and well priced. The prices are so reasonable and the service perfect. We will be back very soon! read more

Some of the best plantains I've had in years! The cancha at the beginning is so good, honestly worth the visit alone. The restaurant is a little unassuming and slightly outdated and cheaper feeling but the food is 10/10 worth it! Servers are super attentive and quick. Honestly some of the best Peruvian food I've had in a long time. Will visit again! read more

Great service. Buttery smooth yellow pepper sauce in their dishes. Perfectly fried yuca fries - unlike some other latino restaurants which over-fry their yuca sticks. read more

Everything is always good and the people are even better , I'd highly recommend the Lomo saltaldo.

This is another classic Gulf Gate offering. Immigrants who reinterpret their home food as best they can here. Delicious and authentic food that is served by delightful staff. Loved the authentic variety of offerings. Overall review is positive; discuss sodium levels with the wait staff and and I would cut it by half. I can add more but cannot take it out. Everything was much too salty. Otherwise a real winner! Had the mixed ceviche (med) and thought it could use more cilantro, personally. Corvina in Chimichurra and a chicken breast with Chimichurra and fries, green plantain, fried yucca, grilled shrimp....well, it goes on but we quit there, but not before I got some Lacuna ice cream! Oh beloved memories of traveling in Peru. read more

The food was tasty, bounteous and well presented. The staff were patient about explaining dishes we were not knowledgeable about. We particularly liked the casual, down-home atmosphere and the fact that customers seemed comfortable and were enjoying themselves. We figured that many were neighborhood regulars, which is a good thing, indicating that they liked what the Peruvian Grill offered. read more

Found a bottle cap inside my dessert. Broke a piece of my tooth. Will send to health inspector. Mistakes and accidents happens....but this is too much. It tells me that they don't follow health guidelines, no standards, probably very dirty kitchen and not organized at all. This is cross contamination....this place needs to close the doors! read more

Such very nice people and great food! Came there tonight after driving by it numerous times and saying, "we should try that restaurant sometime." The food was in huge portions and my wife and I decided we'll split an entree next time. We enjoyed Peruvian beer and it was ice cold! Highly recommend! read more

My wife and I drive by this place a lot since they have moved to Clark Rd, so we finally decided to stop in and try it. We were delighted at the quality of the food. The grilled chicken and shrimp were truly wonderful. Served with plantains, rice, salad, etc. I was very happy. I can't remember what my wife had, but she loved it too, and she can be more picky than me. There are a lot of amazing looking dishes, and if they're anything like what we ordered, this place should be a hit. The staff was very friendly & attentive. We'll be back! read more

Everything we ordered was fantastic! Lomo saltado, aji de gallina and ceciche de pescado. Could not have asked for a better meal with the family! read more

My wife is Peruvian so she knows what good Peruvian food tastes like. The food here was terrible and my wife did not like the food at all!! Please beware the slippery service charge. We spent almost $200 for 4 people as we did not notice the slippery service charge. There are other Peruvian restaurants in the area. My suggestion is to try them instead. read more

Excellente Peccadilloes a lo macho was out of this world! Loved the yellow pepper sauce. Also we had Corvina Rellena. Mushroom sauce and crabmeat stuffed fish was excellent. This was our first time eating Peruvian food. Will do it again. The flan and homemade chocolate cake are not to be missed!nj read more

The photos here are of a former location, I guess. This place is very small and not appealing at all from the outside. I surprised my wife by taking her here and when I pulled in the parking lot, I thought she was going to ask for a divorce. Fried yucca appetizer very good and something different. Tasty dipping sauce. They came out hot, which made them even better. My wife had the grilled tuna tacutacu with the yellow pepper sauce. She loved it -- so flavorful! I don't much like tuna, and I'd say it was delicious. I had the lomo saltado. Very very tasty. Great mix of rice, tomatoes, onion, cilantro and beef all deeply marinated. Very good. My only head-scratcher is the huge mound of french fries that came with it. I can get those at BK! If I had to do it again, I'd have asked for plantain chips or fried plantain instead of french fries. French fries were really good, actually, but still had no business on the plate with the delicious lomo saltado. The online menu looks like it hasn't been updated in years. The prices are $5+ higher and the photos are not from this current place. The place is very small and very chill. Staff is friendly. Don't be fooled by the outside appearance -- it's worth a tumble! read more
