Great!!
Very disappointing experience. We ordered pollo a la brasa, ceviche, and chicha morada.
The chicken was undercooked, the ceviche lacked flavor, and I found a piece of metal scouring pad in my food, which almost caused me to choke. This was very dangerous.
The only good thing was the chicha morada.
Due to the food quality and serious safety concerns, I would not recommend this place
Absolutely delicious and authentic! It feels like an amazing home cooked meal. We will be back!

This was my first time trying Peruvian food and it was delightful. The waitress informed us restaurant recently made changes and significantly reduced its menu. It did not have a lot of options but we did order different plates. Food was very well seasoned and was made fresh. The drink made from fermented corn was delicious and had a subtle taste. The salad was plain only had carrots, lettuce, and tomato.

Avenita Peru earns a solid four stars for its lively, flavorful approach to classic Peruvian cuisine. The menu highlights the essentials—zesty ceviche, tender lomo saltado, and richly seasoned seafood dishes—each prepared with care and plenty of personality. Portions are generous, the ingredients taste fresh, and the signature sauces bring just the right amount of heat and tang. The dining room’s casual warmth adds to the appeal, making it easy to settle in and enjoy a meal that feels both comforting and vibrant.
Service at Avenita Peru is friendly and attentive, helping keep the experience smooth even during busy hours. While a few dishes could benefit from slightly more refinement or consistency, the overall quality remains high and reliably satisfying. With its welcoming atmosphere and bold, distinctive flavors, Avenita Peru is a standout choice for anyone eager to explore the richness of Peruvian cooking without pretense.
My office catered Avenida Peru for a 150+ person lunch and it was absolutely delicious! The service was excellent and everyone loved the food. We'll definitely be ordering again soon!

Avenida Peru shifted gears after opening their second restaurant (Lima Restaurant). They moved the whole menu to the new restaurant and turned this into a polleria with some traditional street food options. The pollo a la brasa is OUTSTANDING! We chose the full chicken with French fries and salad and left stuffed with plenty of leftovers! Delicious chicha morada, too. I’m hoping that they do well because the food is amazing but two groups apparently thought it was still a full menu and they didn’t stay. I hope they either rebrand the restaurant or add a few more items to the menu. Definitely going back!

I really enjoy the Peruvian ceviche and the lomo saltado. The service is good, and they also have delicious alfajores for dessert

Every time we come we order the ceviche and the lomo saltado because both are so extraordinary and they balance each other so well with the contrasting flavors. Just really freaking good food. The restaurant doesn’t look like much from the outside but Avenida Peru knocks it out of the park every time.
The food is extremely good, the service is the worst👎👎👎
