It was a fantastic day on the Del Mar's surfers beach. We stumble upon that place look small but when you approach it it opens up with lots of colors and dimensions. Somebody was smoking something good putting it together like that. MUSIC have that right amount of touch, just right amount of volume. All in relaxed casual dinning. MENU features a variety of awarded dishes like raw bar ceviches as well as cooked seafood and juicy meats like pork belly, short rib and their staple Lomo Saltado.with a 6oz filet mignon in it halal empanadas they have it all dailed in. All in good price. If that's not enough they serve VEGETARIAN substitutes fro traditional dishes like Causa, Lomo, Empanadas, Chaufa and Ceviche have exactly same flav as one with fresh local catch (ours was Covina ) big suprice for our friend bc it is so hard to find novadays. COYA PERUVIAN SECRET offers no where else to find gourmet dining experience under the bougainvillea tree with lots of color full lights and charming cottage house attached to it which makes it perfect friends hideaway or a sublime dating spot feels a bit like in Europe not states . True fine dinning in relax atmosphere. Big appetizers and big dishes in a price tag Del mar forgot long time ago. Enjoy dear traveler.

I love the place and have taken out of town visitors there several times. The entrees and service were great, as usual, and the scallops appetizer was excellent. The mussels were a miss though. It was a very eclectic presentation with the corn nuts and large white corn kernels, and the mussels served dressed and chilled. Just didn't work for us. The other thing was they were out of the chicken entree on the menu and the chicken special, so the choices were somewhat limited. I'll be back for sure, but their were a couple hiccups this time.

I went on a beautiful after with the sun shining. The place is near lots of shops. The ceviche bar looks good I just got a quick appetizer before my appointment. The atmosphere is nice enough to come do your work here too!

I would dare to say I go to a different restaurant twice a week, I do this every week for two and a half years, I have lived in many different states and the food at this restaurant is simply art, it honestly made me feel something more, I will definitely eat there again, everything they prepare is perfect, I wish the waiters would encourage diners to leave comments on the internet, this place deserves more than 5 stars, it deserves to have at least a Michelin star, the waiters are perfect, very respectful and good people, both the chef and the kitchen assistants too, because to serve a dish (whatever it may be) with such a perfect flavor, that can only be achieved if the work team is perfect and good in general, God bless you all and I hope with all my heart, everyone who works there is well compensated

Dog friendly outdoor cafe, adorable interior, friendly staff, and unique food. Came here about a year ago during a work trip and had to bring my sweetie for a most romantic dining experience. It was also wonderful the way our pooch was treated too.

We shares the Chaufa (gluten free) octopus shareable dish, wonderful drinks, and 4 leches dessert with salted caramel gelato. Hard to beat. Que bueno!

I had the lomo saltado. The sauce was really good, we ended up using bread to scoop all the sauce up. Service was also great, waiter was attentive and quick.

Wow! Some of the best yucca I’ve ever had. We got the octopus, ceviche classico, and two things on the specials list: the scallops and the amberjack. Everything was incredibly delicious, though I did think the scallops had slightly too much Parmesan. Overall a wonderful time.

Stopped by for lunch out of curiosity after bike riding with my friend on PCH. Nice surprise! We sat outside on very comfortable patio. Ordered and shared a few appetizers; grilled octopus, empanadas, salad and topped it off with chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream. All were delicious, portions substantial, and service was fast and impeccable. Definitely a great place for a nice meal!
