Peruvian Restaurants near El Cerrito, CA

“Wide variety of Peruvian treats especially fried plantains and pisco chilcanos“

“The food is sooooo good and delicious with a very nice ambiance and atmosphere in their patio dining ..“

“This place is all about the food. Ignore the menu, it's just there to provide familiar options. Talk to your server. They'll find something for you that will delight. The decor is standard diner decor, it isn't the point. The seating looks like something from the 1950s, but again, the seating isn't the point. The food is the point, and the food is delightful.“

“Top Shelf, because the service is impeccable, the owner is selfless and extremely inviting, and the food is so very good. I am on the wagon, so I didn't indulge in the drink menu, but it looked fantastic. The atmosphere is intimate in the seating area, and vibrant in the bar space. It's a lovely establishment wher I will frequently dine.“

“I was treating my good friend to a birthday dinner. She requested Peruvian food and this restaurant came up as one of the best in our area on a Google search. We sat at the counter and were able to watch the dishes being prepared. Very impressive presentation. Our waiter was very attentive, suggesting wine selections and answering questions about the dishes. The food was delicious! The seating area inside is small and intimate. They also offer outdoor seating. We'll be back!“

“La mejor comida peruana!!!! Delicioso sazón y excelente lugar Sus alfajores, una delicia 😋!“

“First time there…food and drinks amazing.. will definitely go back..👍🏽“

“The service was top notch. We told our waiter this one was our first time and he explained the menu for both food and drinks. He also opened the door for us when we exited. Service definitely gets 5 stars.

However, there’s something wrong with the price on the menu vs what you will be charged. We ordered from the lunch especial menu which says items were $ 17.99 but we were charged 20 for one item and 18 for other two dishes. And the beverages were supposed be $4 based on the menu but were charged $6. May be they updated the price and forgot to update the menu?

Anyways two of the dishes fried rice and Marinated pork dishes were very salty. The bed of pasta with fish was very good but I wished the fish was basked instead deep fried. Purple corn drink was pretty good the waiter said it will be sweet and it was. If you don’t have a sweet tooth, you don’t probably want it.

Will try again sometime in the future.“

“Delicious authentic Peruvian. Authentic for me means both quality and quantity. Real peruvian cuisine that you won't be hungry when you leave...unlike another highly regarded Peruvian restaurant in SF. I am Peruvian so I am usually a harsh critic when it comes to my people's cusine“

“Awesome location, enjoy the view SFO skyline, good food & drinks...“

“Best kept secret of El Sobrante: El Chalan, Peruvian and Italian restaurant, offers a family atmosphere with great food at a good price. Warm bread and butter is served from the beginning. Their roast 1/2 chicken and whole fried trout, with home style french fries are very popular. Their sea food dishes, especially the seafood soups are delicious. The Italian food is also excellent. Butter nut squash raviolis, gnocchi, and spaghetti are cooked perfectly. Kids love this place.“
