Mati Peruvian Cuisine

Decided to try something different so we found this little restaurant. It's kinda hidden and the parking lot is super small. We decided to try their Saltido de pollo (chicken) and Pesco frito (fried fish) and I ordered a juice that I believe had passion fruit. The juice was very good and I enjoyed the tropical flavor. The chicken however, was extremely dry. Even through all the tomatoes It was super dry w/ no flavor. This was disappointing, especially since it was our first time here and even trying Peruvian food. The waiter came by and asked how everything was tasting and I told him It was not good because the chicken was dry and had no flavor. He offered to have the cook make me another plate but I declined. I was already put off with the consistency and lack of flavor. So I just shared the plate of the fried fish. This dish was actually very good. I am not a fish eater but this dish had great flavor. It didn't disappoint. My mother & father in law ordered the Lomo saltado (Snapper) to share. I did not try this dish however they said it was good but lacked the actual Snapper. There were only a few pieces of the fish in the meal so to them, they said it was not worth the price. Perhaps this was a one time bad experience but once is all it takes for me to determine if I would return. The service was awesome and the waiter was very nice. I appreciated that I did not get charged for the meal but I have to be honest about my experience and the food I tried. I have heard that the ceviche is good here so perhaps If you decide to go, try that.

The food was overpriced and doesn’t show quality vs price. They have a good service.

Extremely expensive place. Neither the quality of food nor the service or location are at the level of the price. $60 per person without tip.

Do yourself a favor and check this place out! We went as a family of 4 with a 7 year old and 11 year old, and with one vegan, one vegetarian and two who really like meat, and we were all delighted with our dishes. The food is authentic and delicious and the staff was incredibly kind, knowledgeable and generous. We ordered the chicha and Inka Soda to share- the chicha is amazing. We got a few appetizers to share- fried plantains, cancha and the potatoes, and all were finished quickly. We each ordered a different entree, and then the non-vegans shared the lucuma ice cream and rice pudding, with everyone raving. Seriously, such sweet people and such amazing food- go support them!

The best ceviche in Albuquerque. The staff were so friendly and attentive, and the food was fantastic. I had the maracuyá to drink and it was enormous! The drink itself was so refreshing and delicious. I tried the ceviche tradicional, chicken and beef empanadas, and papa a la huancaina. All were delicious, and the ceviche was the stand out dish. I can’t wait to go back. ❤️

Went tonight for dinner. Its a small place, next to the fairgrounds, nothing fancy about the interior. I had a chicken empanada and the cerviche mixto. The empanada was quite tasty but the real star was the cerviche which was delicious! It was the best cerviche I have had since the last Peruvian restaurant I ate at in Orlando, Florida. The kicker was the side of hot sauce for the cerviche which really added to the flavor and experience. If you love cerviche, you must come here and try it! I'll be back to try other dishes.

Expensive price for cheap food. Arroz con pollo for $28?!?! One piece or chicken, a cup of rice & some pickled onions for $28! Used frozen peas & carrots. Bullion seasoning packets. And how can you have a dry thigh? Bad, just bad.
