Peruvian Restaurants near Irvine, CA

“Love the service and the food here. Their Arroz con pollo, and flan are to die for. As are other items on the menu. Even their bread and butter they serve just crazy delicious.“

“Came on a Saturday night and there was an 80-120 minute wait which turned out to be more like 25 minutes so don’t be discouraged by the tablet at the entrance. Service, taste and atmosphere were great.

Recommend getting a refill on the noodles (they’re included with purchase of Phó) and fish sauce to pour on the shaken house fries.“

“This joint is serving up real ingredients prepared like that Peruvian uncle I never had. I was impressed by the actual hand cut yucca vs some other joints precut yucca. That green sauce is obviously made in house and done right. The ceviche isn’t the prettiest I’ve eaten, but ranks high in the yum factor. Definitely a restaurant worth another visit.“

“My 1st time coming here for lunch w my bestie Tammy 06.05.25

When we found out that there's going to be a Vox Kitchen opening up at South Coast. Was pretty excited!
Tried Vox before in Garden Grove City/Area.

What we Ordered

~ Prawns Garlic Noodles are delicious. Garlic noodles are on point and the prawns are big & juicy. A fav here for mee.
~ Seafood Scampi is also yummy flavorful dipped w the bread it comes with, lots of proteins.
~ Saltado- Filet is good. The filet is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. The fries are good pairing with the protein.

Their cocktail drinks are delicious also along being pretty strong. Love it!

This Vox Kitchen is a Chinese and Latin fusion concept type of restaurant.

The restaurant ambiance is low key restaurant with an outdoor patio area and outside dining area in front of the restaurant entrance. Have some greenery plants and simple.

Service is great and fast for lunch when i came and dined.

Great place to grab quick bites and scrumptious too.
Highly recommended.

Located on the 1sr floor at the Crystal court side of South Coast Plaza.

TIP there's a YELP WAITLIST you can join on YELP. Get on list a few miles away from the restaurant.“

“If you’re looking for authentic Peruvian food in Orange County, Aires del Peru in Garden Grove is a gem that has been serving the community for over 30 years. Tucked right off the 5 and 22 freeways on Chapman & Haster, this family-owned spot feels like stepping into Peru itself. 🇵🇪

We ordered a little bit of everything to share, and it was unforgettable:
- Cebiche mixto (fish & seafood) – super fresh, tangy, and made from scratch. Probably the best ceviche I’ve had outside of Lima.
- Arroz con Mariscos – loaded with perfectly cooked seafood and bold flavors.
- Lomo Saltado – tender beef, flavorful, and a Peruvian classic done right.
- Tallarín Verde – pasta with that vibrant Peruvian pesto, absolutely delicious.
- Anticuchos – the marinade and grill flavor were spot on.
- Bistec a lo pobre – hearty, rich, and comforting.

To drink, we had fresh papaya juice, chicha morada, and mango juice—all refreshing, natural, and sugar-free (a rarity!). We even ordered some to go because they were that good. Of course, they also have Inka Kola and Coca-Cola for the traditionalists.

What really sets Aires del Peru apart is the warm, genuine hospitality. You can tell this is a family-owned place that truly cares about its guests. On weekends, they even host karaoke and live music—something so special and hard to find these days. It’s not just a meal, it’s an experience.

Having traveled to Peru years ago, I can honestly say this place captures the authenticity, flavors, and spirit of Peru. Every dish brought me back to my time there.

If you love authentic food, fresh ingredients, and a welcoming vibe, you NEED to try Aires del Peru. Highly recommend for date nights, family gatherings, or just a comforting meal that will make you feel at home.

🌟 Truly a 5-star experience—Aires del Peru is a treasure in Garden Grove!“
