We stopped by here just from seeing it across the street. The food was great and the service was awesome. Thank you !
This is the best Peruvian restaurant in South Orlando! The food is amazing, and the service is exceptional.
Delicious Authentic Peruvian food. Definitely one of the best Peruvian restaurants in Orlando. And the server is super friendly, kind, and attention. Outstanding customer service. And food is delicious. Price is a little bit high but with the large portions and quality of food you definitely get your money's worth. The decor is beautiful Peruvian style.
I have been coming here for quite some time and I usually get their 1/4 chicken and I substitute the salad for rice. I also always ask for a side of Peruvian hot sauce since I like to dip my French fries in the sauce mix. I think the price is not bad for the portion that they give you, I leave pretty satisfied afterwards. Ambiance is very casual, they have TVs all over and are always playing music, sometimes it is a little too loud in my opinion. Servers usually greet me right away and food comes out in decent time. This is my go to when I want something quick and delicious. If you know about alfajores they also sell these here.
Great food , lovely staff and food came out quickly. Can't wait to go back . Chaufa De Pollo
I always love having the opportunity to learn new things about international cuisines and this restaurant provided a great one. With the recommendations of the waitress, tried the lomo saltado and cevidche he pescados y camarones. Took to reading wikipedia about the history of the lomo saltado while enjoying it, learning that it was invented in Peru by mixing ingredients and techniques brought over by Chinese immigrants with existing Spanish cuisine. I never would've guessed this background but one taste was enough to make the connection. No wonder the flavors resemble that of asian stir-fries with soy sauce, vinegar, and garlic. Overall it was very flavorful with tender meat but the sauce was a bit on the salty side, even with the side of rice. I guess one could avoid some of the salt by skipping the fries, even through that is the traditional way of eating it. The ceviche provided a nice balance of coolness to the other hot dish, with very tasty seafood and accompanying vegetable garnishes.
This place is a hidden gem. The food quality and taste is excellent. Prices are very reasonable and lower than most Peruvian locations in the area. Portion sizes are big, service is friendly, they have a lunch menu and different specials thru out the week. I did not take a picture of my alfajor (dessert made of two cookies and dulce de leche) but it brought me back memories of my childhood. I recommend this place to everyone.
I tried this place because my friend raved about how good the 'aguadito de pollo' is. Let me put y'all on to this delicious cilantro soup. It really is worth trying. As a main plate I had the pollo saltado which was a huge portion and had delicious taste. If you want to try authentic Peruvian food I recommend you try Rústicas.
