Peruvian Restaurants near Lakewood Ranch, FL

“This is definitely the best kept secret on Main Street in Lakewood Ranch! They have the best beef empanadas I’ve ever had. The Amazonian rice dish is phenomenal! Ask for Ruben he is such a great server! What a fun night and they have live music! P.s. order a glass of the Ica Valley Malbec! So yummy!“

“Food was amazing and great customer service“

“We discovered Maemi a year ago and have been delighted by this hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Its low key atmosphere may deter people from giving it a try but it has become one of our go-to places in Sarasota. The portions are big and the food, delicious! I highly recommend Maemi!“

“If I could I would give it 10 stars. We are visiting for the week but I am from Peru and was so excited to find this gem. If we were local we would absolutely be regulars. Wonderful service and the food was an experience out of the world. It’s been a few years since I have been to Lima and that ceviche took me right back. Beautiful! Delicious!!“

“We just happened upon El Ceviche and with knowledge that ceviche was invented in Peru and I hadn't had it in a long time, we ventured in with no recommendation from anyone. What a find! Best shrimp ceviche ever! My husband ordered a beef dish, Lomo Saltado and said it was delicious. Peruvian corn was a real treat. This is on my Best Of list! Go. Eat. Enjoy.“

“Carly waited on us on the back patio. We had kids in our party and were a fairly challenging table during a busy time, but Carly took great care of us! Ask for her, she is awesome. The live music was a very talented guitar player, food was great, would definitely go back.“

“The restaurant is cozy, the dishes are very tasty, after waiting so long for the real Peruvian food to arrive and they did it very well, the "Mostrito", great and what can we say about the chaufa rice, we will return again with the family.“

“Everything was great here from the food to the customer service. My favorite was the short rib spring rolls 10/10 highly recommend. Our waiter was Micheal and he gave A-1 service if you’re looking for great food and good vibes definitely check out Selvas ❤️“

“Absolutely fantastic food!! Five of us and each person loved their dinner - and the chocolate cake for dessert is delicious!!!“

“I stopped by a few weeks ago with a friend and we ordered fish ceviche and it was delicious! I'm very hesitant to eat raw fish like sushi (sashimi) and even though ceviche is not raw I'm still hesitant because in my Greek culture we eat everything well done lol. The ceviche was so fresh and the "leche de tigre" was so flavorful and I wasn't even slightly concerned. The lady who served us was also very sweet and gracious and the atmosphere is very beautiful. I will definitely stop in again when I'm in Sarasota! Thank you so much!“
