Doña Tere Peruvian Restaurant

I had the fried fish with rice and a salad. The fish was cooked to perfection. The Jalea looked yummy.

Extremely Disappointing Experience

We visited this restaurant on a Wednesday to celebrate a birthday, expecting to enjoy the rich flavors Peruvian cuisine is known for. Unfortunately, the experience was disappointing from start to finish.

Service was extremely slow, rude, and unprofessional. Our server showed a clear lack of interest in her role, and it took far too long for both our order to be taken and for the food to arrive. When the Anticuchos appetizer finally came, it was so salty it was inedible. We informed the server politely, but her dismissive response—“We’ve served this all day and no one has complained”—was unacceptable. She walked away mid-conversation, offering no resolution and leaving us unable to order a replacement.

We chose to share the remaining two dishes rather than continue engaging. I ate most of the Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos and was ill the next day with mild food poisoning symptoms, which impacted my ability to work.

To top it off, we had to get up and search for our server just to pay the bill. The lack of care in both service and food quality was shocking. This experience not only reflected poorly on the restaurant, but sadly, on the broader representation of Peruvian cuisine. I do not recommend this restaurant and will not be returning.

Excellent food and service! We were traveling through the area, easy access off the freeway. We will come back next time we are in the area.

My new favorite restaurant in Lathrop. I don't know how I didn't find this place sooner. The food was phenomenal, portions were a little large so depending you can likely share. I'll definitely be back

Absolutely phenomenal food!!! The seasoning blew me away. They also have a great selection of Peruvian drinks that you won’t find at the store. Service was great and the place was clean.

Home style Peruvian food. I really enjoyed their seco con frijoles and saltado de carne. Don’t let me forget how delicious it all tastes with some ensalada criolla. The ceviche is out of this world, will be returning for sure.

This restaurant does NOT have drinking water, they wanted to charge me for a bottle of water when in California it has to be offered for free. the service was very bad. They treated us with a bad face for not buying water and we were not able to enjoy a good lunch.

What flavors!!!

It is a simple but pleasant place.
There is only one person attending and orders take between 30 minutes and more. We already knew that attention would be delayed and we waited patiently. The ceviche was good and the rice with seafood excellent! The waitress's attention was kind. I'll be back soon ?
