Rolled into Taste of Peru for dinner last Friday and it was 🔥. Got the mixed ceviche (calamari, shrimp, mussels) and the arroz con mariscos—seriously fresh and bold flavors. My buddy got lomo saltado with fries. We popped a BYO pisco sour and spent about $50 total. Staff was warm, live Peruvian music on the strip‑mall stage set the mood. Cozy, real‑deal Peruvian spot—will be back.

The reviews by other Peruvians have it right... it just seemed to miss the mark. Maybe leadership can increase the prices and take the food to the next level? I'd pay more for a dish that hits closer to home.

food: first time having Peruvian! great authentic place where you definitely get good portions for the price

service: waiter was very nice and she was the only one working the whole restaurant
