Latin Chef Peruvian Cuisine

what happened to my review ?

I have high standards for all Latin food, considering I've lived both in San Diego and in Miami, both for over 12 years.

This place is truly authentic and delicious. I cannot stress enough how good it is. If you like Latin food at all you must come here and try it.

I'm still in disbelief that such authentic south American cuisine is right here in Vista.

I also highly recommend the chicha morada, it was crazy good!

My husband and I ordered the Pollo Saltado (stir-fried chicken) and Pollo a la Brasa (rotisserie chicken). Both very tasty! We are both Peruvian and were happy to taste authentic flavors! The service was lovely and it was a clean, warm environment.

I don't have any problem with anything, the last thing I would like to do is make a problem. I would just like to mention one situation, I called to place an order since I was in a hurry and couldn't do it online, the guy who answered was friendly but not really attentive since when I told him I wanted grilled chicken he asked me how much I wanted at a time. which I answered: it is only for one person since I don't know exactly what portions they ration with the grilled chicken. It was my first time buying, when I arrived to pick up the order the price seemed expensive but I didn't immediately check the bag, then I arrived to my house and when I opened the bag they had put 2 servings of chicken and potatoes in my bag. I called but they didn't give a solution and they just said that that was what the boy understood, I just want to tell you with this mention that next time you be more attentive and maybe you can give a solution, personally I don't have enough money and things It costs me like everyone else to throw my money away like this. When I responded to the guy who didn't give me a solution, I was always kind even though it was a situation that I didn't like. I simply hope that in the future they can provide a solution to their clients. Since personally this situation was not to my liking at all and it is annoying since it was not what I asked for.

This place is great to get a bite with family and friends. They have a vegetarian menu where you can also have vegan options. My favorite vegan options is the Tallarín saltado con tofu. Also picarones for dessert are a must.

What can I say guys, I was looking to make a pre order “Uber Eats” to a family friend in another country and my location was automatically set in Oceanside, California that “Latin Chef Peruvian Cuisine” popped-up!
Drove down from Bonsall area to confirm if true, yes, so true!
I didn’t just checked it out, I went in and sat down to eat.
I was greeted by the Owner/Chef himself, and in such “awe” moment brought me back home… reminding me of my grandfather (with his Asian eyes) and mother’s home-cook meals.
“Dine in or Take out?” Snapped back into my senses and said “Dine in, please ??
As I sat down and given the menu, the Chef asked if I was Peruvian (he was not sure) I said, Yes, from Tarma, Junín ??
Before I began my order he said, “I will bring you Chicha morada, on the house!”
One sip and I almost cried — this was so good, and brought me to my childhood when my family boiled the purple corn with cinnamon stick, orange peals, pineapple ? Anyway, back to reality… it was delightful and tasty!
I cannot tell you the rest, but you have to stop by and try these dishes.
Nothing compares this restaurant to the other restaurant in the neighborhood with Peruvian/Colombian fusion - stick to one and no fusion, please.
LATIN CHEF PERUVIAN CUISINE is authentic, no fusion, no gimmicks.
Lomo Saltado is to die for, the sauce and the tenderness of the meat.
The Leche de Tigre is a quick pretaste of what the ceviche is but mainly its juice with small chunks of fish and a few pieces of Shrimp. Well worth the price than paying for a ticket to Peru to eat ceviche, this is it and it here in Oceanside!
Oh! I forgot my Yuca Frita with its famous “Huancaina” sauce. There are other spicy and green sauces to dip your “yuquita” — fried casaba sticks.
This place has delivered in flavor, welcoming atmosphere, and authenticity!
Thank you for opening this restaurant and wish you great success, I will be coming back and with my family! ?? ?? 5 ⭐️ ??

Great place for some nice music, service and delicious Lomo Saltado. I enjoyed it very much. The dish was not too salty or too saucy- it was perfect ( meat was tender). Also tried the half chicken with fries and salad, that was delicious as well. Would go back. Thank you

I've been here a couple of times and not disappointed with the food. Food is excellent in flavor and presentation. Good music in the background (Grupo 5 cumbia peruana) enhanced the ambience.
However, do not expect for the waitress/server to come check on you after you’ve received your food. S
Cancha was a tad bit salty.

Kid-friendliness: Servers were very kind, warm, and welcoming to my children.
