I was there with co-workers and the food is wonderful. I loved every bite. The plating for each dish was full of color and looked like art. I had the Empanadas, my first time, and each bite was savory and full of flavor. I also had the Bistek Lo Pobre and it had such umami and full of flavor. My favorite was the Dessert. I had Mazamorra Morada and I fell in love. I also got a cheesecake - better then New York Cheesecake. Best Meal ever. I am definitely going back. Our server was the best. She was so kind and funny. I recommend this Restaurant to everyone that just wants good food.
We have been here twice now and both times have been great. Don't look past this place, it is seriously one of my favorites now. (Try the tacu tacu with lomo saltado, it's fantastic)

ReviewMy friend and I stumbled onto Tullpa (really close to Merle Hay Mall) as we were trying to find something we hadn’t eaten in Des Moines and I am so glad we did!From the moment we stepped in we were welcomed into a beautiful restaurant with a lots of color, great lighting, and some wonderful upbeat music playing.As this was our first time at Tullpa we didn’t know exactly what to get, but thankfully our waitress had some great recommendations for us.We asked her to surprise us with an appetizer, two entrees, and a dessert.First, we were brought a delicious dish of crunchy corn pieces with two dipping sauces, one sweet and one spicy, the perfect pre dinner snack.Next arrived an Acevichada Causa. This was an incredible dish in presentation and taste! This dish is an interesting take on ceviche as it combines the traditional taste of ceviche with a wonderful potato dough patty. What a delicious combo.Next arrived our first entree, another fish dish, Salmon a la chorillana. Normally, I am not a fan of salmon, but this was far from a normal salmon dish. The salmon fillet arrived in a sweet onion and tomato sauce flavored with different warm spices and a surprising secret ingredient you’ll never guess (you’ll just have to order it to find out what it is)! This dish was the perfect blend of sweet and savory!Next, a dish I’ve had before (but never this delicious), Lomo Saltado. A traditional Peruvian dish of stir fried beef, onions, and tomato (with a side of rice and fries). The beef was moist and flavorful, the fries had an interesting seasoning that fit perfectly!Of course we had to try some desert (even though the portions were huge, we made room). We were brought a rice pudding with dates, cinnamon, and an interesting jelly like substance of corn and various spices. Even though it looked unassuming, the flavor was incredible. Not too sweet, a wonderful consistency, and just so unlike any traditional American desserts.If you are looking to expand your culinary horizons, trying to experience a different cultures food, or simply looking for the perfect spot to take that special someone, I encourage you to give Tullpa a try. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

I’ve been to Peru a dozen times and this food is authentic. They even had cancha which is toasted corn seeds, sort of like almost popped popcorn. Delicious. The ceviche was fresh and the llapingachos were perfect. Very nice interior and staff. They’ve got something for everyone on the menu. I’ll be back for lomo saltado or chaufa next time!

I got the Chaufa al Wok with chicken! It was delicious! Delicious rice and seasoned chicken, no complaints. I was hungry before it arrived, and had to hold myself back from eating it too fast. I also got a traditional Peruvian drink called Chicha Morada that is made with purple corn. Also very tasty. It has a very fragrant taste. My sister got Lomo Saltado, and the steak was very tender. Definitely will be back!

I am Peruvian but I have seen on Tik Tok that your cook transmits in an unhealthy way, there is a video where he drops his oral fluids into the blender glass when he was preparing a sauce, without a mask or hair cover, and he continues transmitting unhealthy like this, they should do something about
