Had lunch there today and was blown away at the quantity and quality of the meal. The #5 was amazing, and filling. 10/10 would recommend.

My first experience with Peruvian food. I was not disappointed. The food is very flavorful. You should definitely try one of their drinks with whatever you choose. They are very uniquely flavorful in a good way.

Culantro is the kind of spot that doesn’t need flash. The food does all the work.
I ordered the Aji de Gallina, and it was rich, smooth, and full of flavor without feeling heavy. My wife had the Arroz con Mariscos and loved it. Every bite tasted fresh and balanced.
I also tried Chicha Morada for the first time, and it blew me away. It’s sweet, a little spiced, and reminds me of a fruit horchata. Easily the best drink I’ve ever had.
The gentleman behind the counter was kind and patient. He explained the menu, answered questions, and made us feel completely welcome.
The place itself is simple, but the food more than makes up for it. Culantro feels honest, warm, and worth coming back to.

I dont know why people like this place. The quality is about the same if you threw a stirfry at home. Fish was fishy, and did not look apealing. Chicken was dry, and had to use lots of sauce. Service good, atmosphere good. Food bad.

Amazing food everytime! Fast and friendly service!
Wow - the food was so delicious!! I had second a la nortena and the beef was so tender and flavorful. I loved the rice and the beans and in the end mixed it all together for the last 5 bites and kind of wish I had started that way.
I also tried the salchipapas and they were very tasty, I am going to try to duplicate that sauce.
The food was ready within 5 minutes of ordering, which blew my mind.
Chica morada was a very nice beverage that complimented my meal.
I will be back!!!!!

Delicious food, friendly staff. Atmosphere of the restaurant was clean and enjoyable, if a bit standard. Restroom sign was amusingly and appreciably welcoming.

Alovely addition to the A2 food scene. While the food was fresh and well-executed, I wished for more heat across the board to match Peru’s fiery reputation. We had the following: 1. Patacones Picantes - crispy plantain slices, with salsa (could've been Takt spicy salsa) as a starter. 2. Arroz con Mariscos - which is seafood and rice - like Spanish paella with Peruvian twist. 3. Aji De Gallina, a creamy chicken with rice, was comforting, with a subtle kick from aji amarillo peppers, but not hot to the tongue. 4. Pan Con Pollo, a hearty chicken sandwich, was flavorful but could’ve used a bolder kick, and 5. Vegan dish- Lomo Saltado —tender vegetables and soy-based protein in a savory stir-fry.
I'd also recommend trying the Inca Kola - it's like Sprite, but washed the food down well, special if ordering meat heavy. All in all, a fun time and great service, but I need and want a lot more capsaicin!
Delicious food and great vibes!
