    The other reviews are veryyy correct about the service. We came 40 minutes before close and were the last customers. Upon entering there was no welcome in, no smiles, and it really felt like we were intruding on a thanksgiving family dinner in someone's home or something. My boyfriend described the vibes as hostile. Very unfriendly. Seems they had the whole family there. 2 kids running around, a husband and wife and the parents eating dinner and maybe celebrating a birthday. Our waitress went back to eating her dinner after giving us our food. She never wrote down our order which made my boyfriend nervous and he turned out to be right. After the appetizers the main entrees came out and my man received the correct dish but I did not which was extremely disappointing as I knew saying anything would just cause a back and forth or they would be frustrated as it was close to closing time. I decided I would take the L and just eat what I could and take to go as the vibes were bad. I was very sad though as this was our Valentine's dinner together and where I was looking forward to go :( I drove an hour just to come to this restaurant and it was a disappointment. We decided IF we did return maybe only come in the hours between 12-3pm as maybe we might get better service as they won't be ready just to go home and eat dinner.... I don't know though it was so disappointing I don't think it'd be worth maybe getting disappointed again. My man is Peruvian and we enjoyed the appetizers. We have definitely had better but the flavor was good. The main entrees weren't anything special or memorable though. Instead of closing at 7pm on the 13th, they should've closed maybe 5 or 6pm since they weren't in a great mood or prepared to be serving anyone or maybe do to go only orders? Again for driving an hour to try this place it was a huge let down. Maybe we will be back to give it a second chance but maybe not....

    We ordered the triple Marino to sample their fried fish, ceviche, and rice with seafood. Rice was under seasoned but had overall good flavor (not a lot of seafood though). Fried fish and yucca were good. Service was good as well while the ceviche was excellent, a little spicy with good acidity and seasoning without drowning out the natural flavor of the fish.

    A must try! I've never had Peruvian ceviche and when we decided on it and upon walking in and seeing the chef, I instantly knew I needed to order it and that it was going to be sooooo good! I was not wrong! It was not what I expected but everything I was hoping for and more. This should be a must!! My husband got the Milanesa de Pollo and he really enjoyed it too. They did take a little bit to make but it was so worth it because you could taste the freshness! Service was absolutely amazing. Our waiter was kind and the chef even came out of the kitchen to ask how everything was. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the the ambiance and the richness of the culture. From the music to the decor.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A true must try!!!

    As someone who's lived in South America and Miami, I've had my fair share of Peruvian food. This restaurant has a good selection of dishes, everything was tasty and the service was nice, but not outstanding. The music was LOUD and the clips were playing on the three screens they had hung all around the tiny place. Rinconcito is a very small restaurant. We saw several clients come in a walk out because there wasn't enough seating available at lunch time on a weekend. The door didn't close well and we kept being gushed by the freezing wind, which nobody seemed to notice, so we kept closing it ourselves (we have babies). We ordered three non-alcoholic drinks, two dishes (pescado a lo macho and tallarín a la huancaína with meat), yuca frita, plus the warm sweet rice and jelly dessert (forgot the name). Tasty, but not memorable. Everywhere else we've had the pasta with meat on the side it's been steak, the juicy kind. This meat was FAR from a steak. It was some thin cut meat with lots of nerving running through it. Not at all what we were expecting. We paid over $107.34 with tip and the 10.6% Lynnwood taxes, which was much more than we think the meal and experience were worth. They also charged us $3.25 for a glass with ice!! We'll keep on looking for our go-to comida Peruana.. This was NOT it.

    CEVICHE MIXTO

    Hands-down the best seafood spot I've ever been to. Their ceviche mixto is loaded with fresh fish, shrimp, clams, and those chewy white rounds -- I'm guessing scallops -- that add an incredible texture. The agua chile brings a sharp, spicy kick, and the service? Some of the best I've experienced. I felt genuinely welcomed and well cared for the whole time. Highly recommend! Este lugar está en otro nivel. El ceviche mixto viene bien servido con pescado, camarones, almejas y unas bolitas blancas masticables -- creo que son vieiras -- que le dan un toque brutal. El agua chile está picoso como debe ser, y el sabor es puro fuego. Y el servicio, de primera. Te tratan como si fueras de casa. De verdad, un lugar que no te puedes perder si te gustan los mariscos.

    LOMO SALTADO

    Had a pickup order. Service was quick and the food was excellent. The Lomo saltado is a must try

    Lomo Saltado
    Lizzy S.

    Wow! We saw this place recommended in a Reddit thread, so the next day we grabbed our Peruvian friend and made the trip over to Rinconcito Peruano. She confirmed that it was the best Peruvian food she's had, besides her family's cooking haha. As soon as we sat down the staff greeted us with menus and a run down of the specials. The restaurant is cozy, has lots of fun art, and seems very clean. We ended up ordering Ceviche de Pescado, Lomo Saltado, and Aji de Gallina. All the dishes were fresh, delicious, and were great portions. The ceviche was definitely the star of the show! My husband and I have only had Mexican ceviche, so this was a new preparation for us. The quality of the fish was top notch. We loved the balance of the lime juice with the sweet potatoes and other sides. We'll totally be stopping by to get some more ceviche and try new dishes again soon.

    Ceviche Mixto
    Joey J.

    Finally able to find some great Peruvian food outside of Seattle. It's a small restaurant but was pretty busy for lunch. The menu has all the staples you'd expect. They also serve beer. Food is really fresh. The ceviche mixto had great flavor, the lomo saltado and parihuela were really large entrees. Parihuela had tons of seafood in it and the broth taste like it was just made. Would highly recommend if you're craving peruvian food.

    Seems like a family restaurant. I loved the decor , the staff the food , very authentic delicious . Would come back again ! I had lomo saltado , maracuyá ,

    Mark Y.

    Finally found a local Peruvian eatery that not only served some good food but the family hospitality was on par too! We had the Lomo Saltado with tender beef tenderloin slices, sauteed with onions, tomatoes, aji and other spices and served under a bed of w french fries and rice. The large portion of Jalea De Mariscos was a stacked deep fried delight of fish, octopus, yucca and shrimp topped with pickled red onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and choclo (large corn) and a creamy tartar sauce. The Arroz Con Mariscos came with seafood cooked in a chili pepper tomato sauce under a bed of rice. The three items we got which are moderately priced was more than enough to feed three. We've also heard rave reviews about the Ceviche de Pescado and really want to try that next time!

Food: (5/5) I always drive 164th so I've been eyeing this spot for a long time. My partner and I decided to finally stop by last week and our minds were blown!! We got the fried catfish, collard greens, black eyed peas, corn bread, and sweet potato pie. Everything was AMAZING. The catfish was crunchy on the outside and perfectly succulent on the inside. The black eyed peas and collard greens were both delicious savory additions to the meal with great texture. The cornbread had additions of cheese and peppers, and was a yummy mix of sweet and salty. The sweet potato pie, which we learned Andre's wife makes, was beyond addicting. If we hadn't had a snack before coming, we would've cleared everything immediately. We plan to try everything on the menu, especially the fried okra! Service: (5/5) This was probably the most memorable food experience I have ever had. Andre, the owner, is extremely passionate about his work and it shows in everything that he does. We ended up chatting for quite awhile and our conversation reminded me of everything that's important in my personal life, in the best way. Please come by! You won't regret it for a second.

    I see a lot of reviews about their sandwiches, but this is about the brisket pho…read more My past experiences here have always been great, so I don't know what happened this time. I ordered brisket pho with extra meat to-go, and when I got home and started eating, things were normal at first. HALF OF THE BRISKET was good! And all of the noodles! I noticed that the other half of the meat had this strange texture that didn't seem normal for brisket but I didn't care until I ate some of it. It was terrible, it had no flavor, and the texture made it even worse that I had to spit it out. I still ate the noodles so that I didn't starve, but I left all the weird meat as you can see. Is this what happens when you order at 5:03pm? Did they purposely choose some of the leftover bad meat as the "extra" meat? Or was it maybe an innocent mistake? Maybe it's something normal that should be expected when you order 1 hour before they close? I don't think that one makes sense, though. I probably won't come back for a while and try out a new place instead.

The sandwich isn't as buttery and flavorful as I remembered. Pickles and bread are good, tasted very fresh. But they were lacking flavors for the meat and the butter and pate spread. Ordered the cold cut and pulled pork, flavors are just alright. Overall, just a mediocre banh mi. I've given it a try twice and it still didn't live up to my expectations the way I used to remmeber it sadly.

Prices are reasonable- especially for the portion sizes - about $14-18 per burrito. The food took about 15 minutes to come out, and the crispy chicken was hot and crispy!

We weren't sure what to expect since Chops advertises itself as Asian fusion. Our first impression wasn't great. The restaurant felt very bare and a bit cold, and ordering is entirely through a self-service kiosk. The biggest issue was the menu--many items had no photos or descriptions, so unless you already know what they are, it's a bit of a guessing game. If customers are expected to order from a kiosk, every item should have a picture and a brief description. I ended up playing it safe and ordering the chicken katsu because it was something I recognized. It also seemed like the only option for water was to purchase bottled water. That said...the food completely changed our opinion. The chicken katsu was a tad dry, but! It waa crispy, crunchy, and tasty. The sauces were a nice touch (on the side), the rice was perfectly prepared, and everything tasted fresh. We were genuinely surprised by how good it was. We had originally planned to eat here just to hold us over before going back to the sushi restaurant, but after finishing our meal, we were completely satisfied and didn't feel the need to go anywhere else. Overall, the food exceeded our expectations. I'd definitely recommend improving the kiosk experience with better photos and descriptions, but based on the quality of the food alone, we'd absolutely come back. Clean establishment and the guy tidying up the place was friendly.
