I recently had the pleasure of dining at El Mono and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish.

Absolutely delicious food. Hands down, some of the most authentic Peruvian food I’ve had around here. Service is relatively fast for being so busy/popular. Wait time isn’t too bad and every staff member has been very kind + friendly each of the multiple times I’ve been here. Definitely will be coming back for the DELICIOUS lomo saltado! A little pricey (20-30$ per P) but worth it!

El Mono is one of the best restaurants in the East Bay. Such an amazing hidden gem. The food is incredible. I had the steak and pesto which was to die for. Honestly, you can't go wrong. The staff was fun and friendly. They also had live music the night I went which was a perfect touch, not too loud, but just right for atmosphere. It's just the best.
