2024 update. Price of Lomo Saltado is now over $22. It seemed like they just made up a price. No lunch specials. And prices are not listed at drive through.

I used to remember this restaurant as one of the best ones. Not anymore. I placed an order to pick up at the drive thru. Worst jalea I've ever tried. Seafood was raw, no flavor, no potatoes, no yuca, no canchita. The aguadito soup was just water with a few rice grains at the bottom. I called them back to ask for the missing items. She said they forgot to put them in, and they would give me those items next time I place an order. I went back for my missing items. The yuca was anything but yuca. It was soft like having been mashed and mixed with something else. It was shaped like french fries. Again no canchita. I told the lady at the window that the aguadito had almost no rice in it. She said it has always been like that. That's false. Before, their food was good. Not anymore. I'll never again try their food. Never. I paid $41.50 for a bad experience. Should I had read the reviews, I had not have gone there again.

this has been my go to spot for years but i’m sad to say that it’s quality has gone down drastically. as a fellow peruvian, the food just doesn’t taste the same as it used it. it doesn’t have that kick to it. the food is bland as well as overpriced. the prices are not on the menus and owner just gives out random prices to get some extra money out of customers. everytime i come here, the owner is always being rude to customers and arguing with them even going as far as to not giving customers their food. this isn't authentic peruvian food anymore, it's just the same tasting chicken from grocery stores like stater bros for food4less. even some of their sauces taste like they are past their expiration date. after many years, i will not come back here again.

Great location for the family! I usually get a single order to share with siblings and the portion sizes always leaves more than enough which in my opinion is good! Would

I returned to this restaurant after a while and it's honestly sad to see that a place that was once very good is in ruins. Food without taste. The menu without prices. Prices increased like 40%, service is horrible. And you ask the waitress for prices and things on the menu and she gets upset. I will never return and I do not recommend it. Spend your money on a better place

Last time I order they gave me the wrong pieces of chicken.. this time I asked for them to make sure the chicken is cooked all the way. And when we cut into it, it was still bloody. Lady at the front caught and adittude about it when I called her to tell her the chicken was bloody.

I ordered the whole rotisserie chicken family meal via drive thru. The chicken was over cooked and dry, and beans and rice lacked in flavor it use to have before. They didn't give me the green salsa. Top it of, they charged me double on my credit card $55.60. Luckily I noticed it. The lady at the window claimed she didn't have her glasses on (which I have never seen her wear glasses in the past). I will not be returning for sure.

Worst Peruvian restaurant I have been here in the US. Not worth it. I expected better given the old reviews.

Was recommended here for Pollo a la Brasa. It was ok not the best. Also ordered a papa rellena and arroz chaufa. The papa rellena needed to be cooked more I believe. El aguadito was good. The service was friendly. I probably won’t return. There were no prices on the menu.

The prices have changed dramatically for their small portions! The overpriced menu is hilarious ? I remember when the lunch special was $10.50 now its over $17 dollars.
