    Chicha Morada.
    Jeanne W.

    Lovely Peruvian restaurant on Route 66. An older looking building from the outside but the interior is spacious, cheerfully decorated with an open, industrial feel. I was warmly welcomed by the friendly staff when I entered and was seated immediately. I ordered Cau Cau and a Pollo Saltado. The Cau Cau had tender pieces of honeycomb tripe cooked with potatoes, carrots, and peas in an aji amarillo sauce. There were julienne strips of spearmint throughout the stew which gave it a bright flavor. Steamed white rice and thinly sliced red onion marinated in lime juice were served along with the tripe. These were good accompaniments, especially the red onions which served as a palate cleanser. The aji amarillo sauce in the dish was very mild in flavor. The aji verde table sauce in a squeeze bottle turned out to be more creamy than spicy. Only a slight kick could be found there. All in all, the Cau Cau was still a delicious dish and perfect for those who prefer a less fiery heat experience. Pollo Saltado had tender strips of chicken breast sauteed with French fries, tomatoes, and red onions. The Saltado consisted mainly of French fries when compared with the quantity of meat and the other vegetables. The dish was also very salty. The chef should have been aware of the different level of saltiness between brands of soy sauce and used the ingredient judiciously. Chicha Morada had a good flavor and went well with the two dishes I ordered. I would have liked the beverage a little colder in temperature but that is just my preference. Service was polite and efficient. The food came out of the kitchen fairly quickly. The restaurant can accommodate larger parties of diners in their space. Parking is plentiful in their lot but the driveway is only accessible when driving East on Foothill Boulevard. It is also easy to miss the restaurant altogether so be sure to look for the Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man to guide you.

    Beef Lomo Saltado

    Very delicious food. Must understand this a sit down restaurant. So you are going to wait a little bit longer for your food. But definitely worth the wait.

    Ceviche mixto

    The food was delicious and very clean. We had the ceviche mixto and lomo saltiado . Service was good. Food is made fresh so there a wait. Would highly recommend.

    Pollos ala brase

    The pollos ala brasa was really good. And the servers were very nice. The ambiance is nice too.

    I was at Victoria Gardens and knew that this place was close by. I saw that they had lomo saltado ($21). They have a good parking lot size and have a good amount of seating inside. Bright inside with a large mural once you enter. They have a good variety on their menu. Other tables got mainly pollo a la brasa which is Peruvian rotisserie chicken. The wait time was not long. The lomo saltado was not too salty, the aji had a good heat to it, spicy and creamy. I got the 2 liter of chicha morada to go ($8) and it was not too sweet. The staff is nice and the place is clean.

    Empanadas de carne, desafortunadamente fritas!!

    Tried the cau-cau, excellent!! 10/10. Ceviche: 5/10 needs improvement. The Empanadas de carne, were fried!!! Nothing to do with the Peruvian as they are baked. Awful disappointment! Food overall: 4/10. Service: 3/10 staff needs customer service skills and the ambiance is regular. 5/10. Cau-cau is the winner, try it!

    Food - we ordered: Ceviche mixta which was good and presentation was also good. Lomo saltado was mediocre - too much fries with a few pieces of meat; needed something to enhance the flavor! The ahi verde tasted more like a creamy mayonnaise and nothing close to "verde!" Service was good! Ambiance - a large venue and the place is nice especially with the salsa music playing in the background. We gave our suggestions to the manager. Let's hope they can improve the lomo saltado and the aji verde!

    Chaufa de Mixto
    Mercy S.

    While the Ceviche de Mixto was great in portion and in serving as was the Chaufa de Mixto, the Lomo Saltado was lacking in tenderness and flavor. The ambience was ok but no one really goes here for that. Last but not least on a Saturday the service was lacking. This has to be one of your busier nights and one person doing most of the work, felt bad for him bc that's not really his fault. His partner was not pulling her weight. As such, we waited nearly 20 minutes just to order foods and drinks. With competition literally 20 minutes from here next to Haven City Market; you'd think they'd want to be too notch in taste and service as those are clearly things that can be helped asap. For mediocre Lomo Saltado and poor service unfortunately a 3 is best I can mark this place and you'll see I hardly give those away. Hoping with clear feedback management can fix what was lacking today.

    Good Peruvian food in an updated old building. The inside is large and clean. The waitstaff was friendly and we were seated quickly. The food itself was pretty good. The flavor was good, but nothing was great or amazing. The price for a pitcher of a traditional Peruvian drink was good, $8.

    Pollo saltado
    Djfokis ..

    I tried several plates the rotisserie chicken was my favorite dish. Reminded me of the now closed Kiki Riki Peruvian restaurant. I love the ahi chile sauce with mayo.

    This place left me wanting more. It feels so close to fine dining and date night but the ambience just fell flat. The Good: Food. The Service: Friendly service if not a bit relaxed. Food: For most quality plates your expecting, you'll be at or over $20 per person. Most drinks and deserts seemed fair but the menu has clearly had multiple changes. But the food is worth the price. Service: friendly, helpful, bilingual. Don't know what something is or want a recommendation? Just ask. I did have to ask for refills after two missed opportunities so bit of a whiff there. Ambience: Spotless inside. Top marks for that. I wish this place had linens, I wish our server didn't have a uniform similar to albertos, I wish the silverware didn't come wrapped in a napkin. I don't mind the concrete undressed floor. The lighting and sound was solid. For the feel, I'd hope to dress up the table and staff. I also wish that if the outside tables are going to be neglected, they'd be removed. At some point they're an eye sore. And don't light up a Wacky Wavey Inflatable Arm Tube-man. Light up the awning. It's an affordable eye catching upgrade. I have to explain, they didn't lose a star because of my opinion of what I thought this place deserved to be. They lost a star for the following: Menu prices not matching charges And the fatal flaw: cleaning with fabuloso while patrons dining. What a punch in the senses. To be dining on quality food just to be OVERWHELEMED with the smell of pungent cleaning detergents. It happens all the time. Seems like a manager demands an employee be moving all the time and everything's been cleaned so they'll just go mop something. Please.... for the love of dining. Stop bringing nasally abusive detergents out while people are trying to enjoy something you've made so we'll for us. I know the Menus changed a lot and I uploaded new photos, but please make sure prices are right.

    Food was Delicious! Got the steak with basil pasta and it was amazing! 10/10 recommend. Nice setting and service was fast and simple.

    Lomo soltado
    Diego s.

    Had this establishment for the first time, and it was very delicious! I called in my order over the phone, and the staff was extremely helpful. I went with the Lomo Saltado plate, and it was everything I was craving. The white sauce had a nice kick that perfectly complemented the dish. The portion size was just right -- not too big, but satisfying. They weren't stingy with the meat either; the pieces were well-cut and mixed in nicely. There's plenty of parking, indoor seating, and the place is very clean inside. I'll definitely be returning to try more items on the menu!

    Came for dinner and really enjoyed the food , authentic peruvian taste.  will definitely come back to taste other dishes.

The Empanada was filled with seasoned beef, olives, and hard boiled eggs. The filling was flavorful although the crust was more tender than crisp. It could have used some additional time to attain a decent outer crust. Pollo Saltado consisted of a large portion of tender, boneless chicken, stir fried with French fries and onion and served with steamed rice. It was delicious accompanied by the rice but was very salty from the soy sauce by itself. (This is an extremely common occurrence with this particular dish due to the varying salinity level of different soy sauce brands.) Since the saltado had a good overall flavor, if I were to order this again, I would recommend requesting that the food be made with a little less soy sauce. A dinner roll and butter blend was also served with this meal. The Chicha Morada I ordered as a beverage was delightfully delicious and refreshing from the mix of various fruit juices. The waitstaff were polite and efficient. There were no problems for me as for the service. The restaurant is freeway close to the 10 and there are plenty of parking spaces in the lot. Most of their business seems to be take out but dining in is also a good option. The video stereo system, providing the background music, played some nice tracks which made for an enjoyable experience. I would definitely entertain a return visit soon.

The Lomo Saltado had great flavor, though the beef was slightly overcooked. Still, the seasoning carried the dish. The fries were a standout--crispy and really well done. I was a bit let down by the fish. Since it came with chili, I expected more heat, but the chili sauce ended up being pretty bland. That was probably the weakest part of the meal. One surprise was the special: a stromboli at a Peruvian restaurant. It definitely caught me off guard, but it was actually really well made. I'm guessing they lean into some fusion here, which I'm totally open to. We wrapped things up with tiramisu, which was tasty and a nice way to end the meal--even if it added to the overall "eclectic" vibe. All in all, it's an interesting mix of flavors and styles. A bit unconventional, but worth trying at least once--maybe even again if you're in the mood for something different.

The chicken was tender and well seasoned with soy without being too salty. There was a fair amount of onions and tomatoes which were stir-fried along with the meat. The fries were freshly made with a light crispy exterior and creamy interior to soak up the saltado sauce. The aji verde salsa was on the spicy side but tasted good as an accompaniment to the dish. There was plenty of sauce from the stir fry for the extra portion of rice I ordered. I plan on ordering the Lomo Saltado next time. The staff were polite and efficient.
