About Mama Juana Peruvian Restaurant

Based on the provided reviews, Mama Juana Peruvian Restaurant is a small storefront with red tables and artificial red flowers, where festive Spanish music is often played loudly. The food receives high praise, with many guests calling it excellent and terrific. Popular menu items include the papa rellena, which is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the ensalada de cebolla, described as fresh with a ceviche dressing. Other recommended dishes are the ceviche with fish crackling, lomo saltado, chicken cause, and the airport. A half chicken order came hot, moist, and seasoned perfectly, with yellow rice that had carrots and peas. The snapper with tostones was a generous portion but was extremely salty, and the rice was hard and undercooked. A seafood stir fry ordered from a photo arrived as chicken and beef instead. The service is generally excellent, with a sweet and super sweet staff, though there can be a language barrier as the English-speaking person may not always be present. The prices are great; for a papa rellena and large salad, the cost was only $12.88. While the music volume is often too loud for conversation during a meal, the food is so so good. Despite some issues, the restaurant is highly recommended, and many would go back.
