Peruvian Eat - San Mateo

The food portions are generous and the flavors are delicious. You feel like you are having a meal at someone’s house the waiters/waitresses are very helpful in suggesting dishes to try. Located off of El Camino Real and although there is street parking it is first come, first served.

Delicious Peruvian food! The service there is always great, and staff is friendly.

My friend and I really enjoyed the authentic Peruvian food during our first visit! I had the seafood soup which was very tasty and had lots of fresh fish, shrimp and a great variety of seafood and my friend had the steak dish with rice and he devoured it! Oscar was a gracious, pleasant server and I really enjoy the laid back vibe and hometown atmosphere. I look forward to trying more dishes and the live music on Sat nights that Oscar told us about. If you enjoy a chill, homey feel, tasty comfort Peruvian food and great service, then I recommend this restaurant!

Seating is armless with movable tables so accessible to folks of higher weights and folks who use wheelchairs, but I didn't pay close enough attention to the doorway access point. It was a little challenging as a vegetarian to get mushroom free options and I'm sadly allergic to those. Food was reasonably tasty and perhaps slightly over priced for the casual aspect of it, but within reason. It was beautifully presented though and I especially liked the sauce for the Yucca fries. I liked the food I had it was all reasonably good but I wasn't like omg about any of it.

Update: I returned and had the tasty as well as the seco de carne, and both were absolutely delicious. The servers were super friendly as well. This is now my favorite Peruvian restaurant in the Bay Area!
