I'm not kidding. Anticuchos appetizer, add a side of huancaina sauce. It was the best thing I've ever eaten.Warm, friendly service too.

This place has delicious Peruvian food. I got the fish ceviche and was not disappointed. It was spicy and fresh. The maracuya juice is also very refreshing and delicious.Vegetarian options: The vegetarian saltado is delicious.

Emelina's is a great Peruvian food joint. The service is brilliant. Everything on the menu looked delicious and left us confused as we wanted to order everything. We devoured the ceviche and grilled fish. It was cooked to perfection. We will be back to try out the rest of the items on the menu.

Excellent food, very rich flavor, well worth it. I recommend it. If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would give it more.

Had the beef heart appetizer, well done. It was very tender and seasoned just right. I was pleasantly surprised at how much meat I got in the one dish, was able to share it among three of us. Also had the paella with shrimp, calamari, class and mussels. Very good. Had a glass of cabernet and that finished a very good meal with good service. Will be back.
