This place is tiny and intimate, very cozy and nothing super facncy. But even with that said, I LOVE this place. The people that work here are always nice. Maybe because it's small inside it just gives you that feeling that you are visiting family. The food is AMAZING, full of flavor. I have lost count of how many times I have been here by myself or brought people in for the first time. But every time all my friend and I have a great meal. I always used to ordered something different because I wanted to explore their menu and everything has been a 10/10 when it comes to food. I do have my to go to plates now, ceviche or pollo saltado. You would never go wrong with any of those.

Excellent customer service and great tasting food. I definitely recommend, especially if you want to experience Peruvian cuisine.

I ordered the fish ceviche and it was perfect. I got the standard medium spice and it was the perfect balance of salt, acid, and heat. The accompaniments are also worth mentioning, especially the potatoes which bring a subtle sweetness. The corn was super soft and tender with an amazing texture, and the canchita, Peruvian popcorn, brought a crunchy nutty flavor. I couldn't think of a more refreshing lunch, it was filling and satisfying but not heavy at all. This is a 5-star dish all the way and I look forward to trying more things on their menu.

Extremely hidden gem in the Valley. Service was extremely friendly, the head chef even came out and offered samples of experimental menu items for myself to try. The Lomo Saltado is by far the best I've had in the US...perfect amount of sauce, fries, meat ratio and cooked absolutely perfectly. Will be back again !! 17/10 recommend!

The food was amazing!!! Since we moved to Arizona eight years ago, we've been looking for a good Peruvian restaurant. I thought the Phoenix area would have a lot more to choose from. But everyone we went to was not good. Until we found this place. The food was even better than our favorite place in California. It was the first time our kids heavy improving food and they licked their plates clean. We will definitely be back. We love to get the Pollo Soltado & Lomo Soltado!! I can't wait to come back. It's worth the 35 miles to drive I should've taken pictures of the food before but everybody ate it so quickly I only have pictures of empty plates.

This is amongst the most genuine Peruvian restaurants I have found in the Phoenix area. As a bonus, there is a peruvian market across the street.

Our son spent 2 years in Peru, and he was missing his favorite food from there— we let him order whatever he wanted (and wanted us to try,) and he said everything we got here was AMAZING!!! And we loved it too!! The Leche de Tigre (hot) was THE BEST!! And Lomo Saltado — YUM!!!!

Really nice place! The food was beyond delicious compared to other Peruvian places we have been. They were fast service and friendly.
The Dish: Very good mixed ceviche.The price: It seemed normal to me.The bad: I asked for lemon to sprinkle on the ceviche and they only brought me a slice (1/4) of a small lemon. What stinginess.
The ceviche was amazing! I am mexican so I am used to the normal mexican ceviche. There is something special and different about this peruvian dish. I will definitely come back.

I wish I would have tried El Chullo sooner. It was delicious. The service was friendly and fast. It was also pretty busy for a random weeknight but we were luckily able to find a table easily. The yucca fritas were ok with a pretty good tangy sauce, but we really liked the papa rellena even more. I loved my entree. I got the pescado a lo macho and it wonderfully delicious with just a little bit of kick. I also had to grab an Inca Kola to have with the meal. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu.
