Q'ero Restaurant is a beloved Peruvian/South American restaurant located in downtown Encinitas on highway 101. The restaurant is known for its authentic and flavorful food, with a variety of options including many vegetarian choices. Meat-based dishes, such as the Lomo Saltado and Pollo Saltado, are cooked to perfection and served with delicious rice. The chicken empanada and papa rellena are also popular, and are enhanced by pickled onions and sauce. The maduros, or fried plantains, are a must-try. The restaurant offers the famous Pisco Sour, which many customers consider the best they've ever had, often ordering multiple drinks. Their ceviche is bright, flavorful, and unmatched in taste, capturing the true flavors of Peru.

Many customers appreciate the quality of the sauce, especially the PANQA sauce, which is enjoyed on shrimp, vegetables, chicken, and beef. The ceviche and saltines are also highly praised. The restaurant provides a home-cooked meal experience and an enchanted sidewalk dining vibe, pleasing both vegetarians and meat-lovers alike. Q'ero Restaurant is considered a local gem with consistently amazing food and service.
