Great value and good portion of food! The chef's special seafood paella was very delicious and flavorful, with lot of seafood and only $25. Deep fried fish, calamari, and cassava is the second dish I'd recommend, good portion and the onions were even also seasoned! Seafood soup was pretty good and the soup broth was not too salty. The lamb dish and the beef heart skewers were fine, but might have a bit of strong smell if you are sensitive to that. Ceviche was pretty standard. Overall very good value and nice flavor!

A place I didn't know! The food was very pleasant and had a Peruvian flavor quite close to the typical food of a traditional Peruvian house. The atmosphere at noon was great, the service was very fast, friendly and the food was at the right temperature. I liked it!

Lo key and good food. I was a little surprised that the fried yuca was only 5 pieces, but the chef's special seafood paella was so good my guest was eating my dinner.

Amazing food! Peru is known for their gastronomy (the art of choosing, cooking, and eating food) and this place does it right. This is a small restaurant, and ambience could be better but the delicious meal makes up for it. Our waiter was very attentive. If you want to try something new and tasty, try this place out.

We thought the food at Emelina's was solid but could have been better. The fish ceviche with fried calamari on top was great, but the chef's special paella wasn't our favorite as it was a bit dry and the seafood a bit overcooked.

Best Peruvian spot in town. And even if you don’t Peruvian food, you should just go anyway; this place is just delish. Was looking for a place to dine near SCU after a basketball game, and this restaurant came up on the Yelp search. The food is sooooo good and portions ginormous. We definitely overordered but made sure we ingested every bit. When we arrived around 6:30pm, the place was PACKED! They have outdoor seating, but it was a stormy night so everyone was inside. We got the second to last 4-person table and although freezing by the door, it was worth it.The waitresses are fast and efficient, food was really good, and don’t think they serve alcohol (maybe just beer).Parking at the lot is TIGHT but it’s right next to a large residential street; just park on the side and walk in.Will be back again!

Try their beef heart!Parking: Somewhat hard to find parking in the parking lot. Plenty of street parking spaces though.
