“Omeli Kitchen is my happy place! Every time I go, it's a flavor explosion. The lomo salteado is a guaranteed winner—it's never let me down. And the shaken beef? Seriously, it's so good it should be illegal. This cozy spot might only have 10 tables, but they get the food to you lightning fast. It's a must-have on our regular rotation.“

It was an awesome time with amazing food and thank you Ethan!“

“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.“

“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!“
