“Papa Llama, 2840 Curry Ford Road, Orlando- 4-Stars Michelin Recommended- Bib Gourmand! Peruvian immigrants, Kevin and Maria Ruiz, say they founded Papa Llama in 2016 as an experimental pop up and opened the doors of this location in August 2020. In 2022, they earned the Michelin Guide's coveted "Bib Gourmand" award for establishments that serve good food at reasonable prices so naturally, I got excited. Paulina, my server, was well prepared and knowledgeable, making for an auspicious beginning in a gorgeous environment featuring good prices for dishes that could be made to satisfy both carnivores and herbivores alike. I ordered the entire family style menu which was, according to Papa Llama, "designed to be tasted together, shared, and fought over." So much food for just over a hundred dollars. The prices may have been cheap but the taste and quality of (most) victuals valieron un Perú! A hearty Big Boy Thank You (Sulpayki!) to Kevin and Maria and the culinary dactylograms of their ancestors, on this amazing cuisine (Somaq Mihuna!). The first item on the menu was Olives--whole green Castelvetrano olives marinated in house with aji panca--which were so delectable I could eat them all day. Next, the Red + Gold Beets, a minty beet salad with honey ají amarillo vinaigrette, queso fresco, and candied pistachio, which started out smooth and creamy and ended with a pleasantly piquant bite. Papas a la Huancaína followed, a fingerling potato dish with spicy aji amarillo cream, wakatay (black mint) salsa verde, and beef chicharron, topped with a fried egg. The potatoes themselves were not the star, but the combination of flavors in the sauce were amazing, unctuous but smooth. Papa Llama carries a long list of natural wines, more wines than food items, actually. That evening, I chose the Yuzu Sake, and may I say, "Holy smokes!" How refreshing after consuming so many peppers. The rest of the dishes I would give 4.5 to 5-Stars, EXCEPT for the side of frozen Sysco French fries which almost ruined an otherwise stellar meal. There are over 300 kinds of potatoes in Peru. Over 300! Perhaps in the United States we don't have the same abundance as found in El Valle Sagrado (the Sacred Valley) but, por favor, do not stoop to this! The Big Boy says, "Eat here. All the authentic Peruvian flavors at Papa Llama are 5-Star, but skip the fries, which are a corporate conglomerate frozen food disappointment."“

“A Hidden Gem! I’m so happy we stopped here for lunch—what a wonderful surprise! I had the lomo saltado and it was absolutely delicious. My husband ordered the fish and he said it was amazing as well. The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. We truly enjoyed everything about this place. Please open a location in Clermont, FL—we’d be your first customers!“

“We brought our college kids here for lunch. The staff were friendly and service was quick. It's not a sit down restaurant, its cafeteria style. But the price is reasonable and dishes came in generous portions.
Five of us were all satisfied with our food.“
“Just made it home from grabbing dinner here and the Seafood Fried Rice with the La Granja Chicken Bowl were both on our table. Pollo tropical used to be at this address and La Granja seemed to be the best place to replace them. The seafood fried rice is a 9/10 for me only because the first batch had a small piece of hair on the side yet they made a new one with no questions asked. It is a hefty plate for anyone considering it though and the bowl was rated a 7/10 because the sweet plantains were not as fresh as they could be. Random guy walked in at one point and just moved around the lobby then to the bathroom before exiting which caused an awkward environment. This location could see another visit out of us“

“Nobody else in Orlando does Peruvian food better than Aji! I have been a huge fan of their 2 other restaurant locations (Aji Ceviche Bar). Now with the Aji Express they have taken it to another level. They offer Pollo a la Braza wich is so juicy and full of flavor. They have a huge selection of dishes that are found at their other 2 restaurants. The food is always so fresh, you can taste the quality ingredients in every dish. We took my mom for Mother's Day and she was over the moon. The service was fast and the staff incredibly helpful. This Peruvian girl will be telling everyone about this new location. The quality of food you get for the price can't be beat.“

“I always enjoy this location. Food always comes out pretty quick, portions are generous, and food is always delicious.
My go-to is always the #7 platter with chicken, white rice, black beans, and platanos. I always grab a ton of different sauces from their countertop and like to mix and mash on every bite.
The staff here is friendly and efficient. The dining area is always clean and never feels cluttered. My only gripe with this location is that its in a very busy plaza and parking always sucks. But I dont blame that on La Granja, obviously.“

“The place was clean and the food was good. They always give more than enough food. I like the fact that the food was cooked fresh on the grill while I waited. The wait was a little long, but the food was worth it. However, there was no wait to sit at a table while waiting. I always love a visit to La Granja.“
