Emelina’s Peruvian Restaurant

Highly recommended. Great Pisco Sour cocktails with empanadas as a starter. Lamb for dinner followed by cheesecake with passion fruit sauce. Excellent friendly service.

Really delightful surprise! We loved our meal. The drinks were really fresh and tasty - real fruit not just mixers. The food was absolutely delicious. We loved the lomo saltado, the classic ceviche, and the classic Peruvian style paella. The grilled octopus, Leche de Tigre ceviche and squid ink paella were also so good! We will definitely be back.

Finally good Peruvian place nearby: food is authentic and delicious, large portions, good service and democratic prices - what else would you need...

Was taken aback by the food here, sooo good!

The server was very polite and walked me through each dish regarding ingredients and had suggestions of what to try. Prices are reasonable as each dish was top quality.

Presentation of dishes and table set up was great.

My chicken was juicy and the salad and beans I had, every bite had a rich taste.

My brother said his seafood was phenomenal.

Restrooms were all clean, they have them separated by gender in the back.

Plenty of parking around the area as it is downtown. Likely difficult during peak times but you'll find a spot eventually.

Will return with family and friends another time.

I highly recommend this spot.

The food was really good and healthy. We had a variety of dishes and everything was very tasty. The meat was excellent, same for the ceviche and the Peruvian paella. In addition, the traditional pisco was so good that I had to take a second one ?

We were there for lunch on a Sunday and there were only 2-3 groups including us. However, it still seemed to be very understaffed - there was no water for over 15 minutes, and I had to ask and wait long to get mine. It also took !very long! to get food and even to pay.
It was nearly 100 degree, but the fan was broken.
The food is ok, no red flags but doesn't stand out either, and it was nice that our attendant is passionate about Peruvian food and gave detailed introduction.

This new Peruvian restaurant opened at the old Sweet Sicily Italian Restaurant. They didn’t change the interior much. They still kept the dessert display freezer with all Italian desserts. It gave us a weird Italian-Peruvian fusion feeling. The classic Pisco Sour was amazing. We loved the Lomo Saltado and the octopus ceviche. But the skewers were pretty meh. The price was a bit on the higher end for the dishes.
