We moved here about 6 months ago and were looking for a good Peruvian place that survived the pandemic. Since then we go to Paradita once a week like clockwork. Our order? Lomito Bowl Alfajores Bottled coke Every time. No exceptions... but I recently saw they added lomito as a burrito. I might stray... Ambiance great, place clean, service quick. Certainly well-priced compared to Lomo Saltado at many other Peruvian spots. Definitely recommend. Ps Don't forget the spicy salsa!

Paradita Eatery is one of the restaurants at Emeryville's Public Market. It sits on the Eastern side of the complex and has direct exterior access. The space is setup partially as a bar and partially as a light casual restaurant. They do a great brunch! We get the breakfast sandwich, which is Applewood smoked bacon, cheddar cheese and two eggs with rocoto aioli followed by a side of mix greens salad with feta cheese and fruit cup. Brunch also features a bottomless mimosa. But watch your clock! There is a 90 minute limit! Parking is easy. Lots of parking in the parking lot for the Public Market across the street. Also be sure to check out there happy hour!

The lomita al jugo is _awesome_. The staff are super-friendly, and my 9-year-old thinks very highly of the sweet potato fries.

This review is for ordering via YELP only. The food is freaking great. Ordering online from Paradita is always a hot mess. Ordering from Paradita via YELP is a sh*t show beyond measure. I was in SF heading back over the bridge so Grubhub was having trouble locating the business so I clicked via google- order pickup which launched Yelp. Placed my order - received the email confirmation and headed across the bridge to pick it up. Get to Paradita they didn't get the order. I show them my order number - the confirmation number and they can't find it. It's not even in their system. So now they are asking me to wait more - I've already been there for 15 minutes so I called Yelp/Grubhub help line - and they had to call the business to tell them to make my food So PRO tip - do not order this way. My co-workers told me I made a rookie mistake and to never order food via the YELP app! And again - food 4 stars just order it there

I highly recommend this place. It's pretty far from where I live, but they sell some of the tastiest sandwiches I've ever had. The pan con chicharon and the sanguche de lomo saltado, both are superb! Very juice so expect a messy sandwich but you will definitely finish the meal satisfied. The bread is soft and fresh, the meat is superb. I like their maracuya juice but it's pretty sour so keep that in mind when choosing a drink! They also sometimes have live music ? I also tried the aji de gallína empanada and it was soo good too!

The Adobe sandwich is astonishingly delicious. It will make you experience euphoria and seek to eat it again and again.

Not sure why it took me so love to review them but I love the food here!! My favorites are the Pallipapas and the Chicken Sandwich. The service is great and they make everything quick! They also have live music on Saturdays!
I found a curly hair in my food..... I had very high expectations CONSIDERING the prices and how high they are

Fantastic food! I got the Adobo bowl and chicharron tacos. Both the adobo and tacos were excellent while having a home cooked taste with a bit of modern flavors. If they were to take it that last 10%, the adobo was topped with wayyy too many onions and it could have had more rice. The tacos could have more of that fat flavor, and the price was a bit high ($30 for both). But if I’m ever back in Oakland, I’ll definitely stop by again. You should give this a try.

Very disappointed with the food at this place, my wife ordered an empanada, it tasted horrible the dough consistency of a croissant, the rest of the food mostly deep fried, very greasy, I wouldn't recommend this place, usually the Peruvian food is delicious, this place is not reflecting such amazing cuisine.

Excellent meal with excellent service. Stopped by here for some take-out dinner before work. I ordered the roasted chicken and the flavor was incredible. And have a few of the Cookies with tea, your welcome.
Really good food and even better pisco sours!
