Peruvian Restaurants in Sacramento, CA

“I hadn’t had Peruvian food in almost two years and this was amazing! We had ají de gallina, ceviche, lomo saltado, causa rellena, and papa a la huancaína, plus Pilsen and Cusqueña. Everything was delicious—especially the ceviche, ají de gallina, and lomo saltado. The staff was super friendly and made sure we were taken care of. An awesome experience!“

“I found Octopus Peru while searching for a restaurant near Golden 1 Arena, and it was a fantastic choice! We started with drinks—my wife loved her “Amore del Mar” so much she had two, and my “Guava Affair” was incredible. I also tried the “Peruvian Spicy,” which had tequila, ginger, mango, and habanero syrup—the heat was perfect! We have a tradition of ordering oysters, so we couldn’t resist the ½ dozen, but the “Smokey Tuna Tostada” was the real star.

The portions were large, prices reasonable, and despite how busy it was, the staff was friendly and attentive. A highlight was chatting with the owner, who told us about his other restaurant, “Octopus Baja”—I’ll definitely be trying it next time we’re in midtown! The inviting atmosphere set the perfect tone for a parents' night out without the kids before the show. Can’t wait to go back!“
