If you haven’t eaten here yet, GO.Food was great - flavorful and delicious. Our server Nayeli was super helpful with recommendations and answering our questions. It was our first time having Peruvian cuisine and it definitely won’t be our last! Highly recommend.

Went there for lunch and ordered the Aurora Chauffa (fried rice) with beef, chicken, and egg. Couldn’t have been happier with the meal! Also recommend the Yuka Frita con Salsa Golf appetizer, fried yucca with plenty of sauce choices share!

The restaurant is very clean and quaint (super cute). They had music playing, which would typically be fine but we couldn't hear our waitress/server so that was a struggle. We just leaned into her as much as possible and she was happy to repeat herself. We ordered the mojarra frita con arroz y ensalada, chicharron peruan, and patacone. We got a ton of food with our order. I LIVED how crispy and crunchy the yuca fries were.I liked the variety of hot sauces they offered us. Looking forward to coming back to try other dishes.

Food was good. Steak meal was the best out of everyone's. They were missing a lot of items on the menu. The service was ok, Very scrambled due to the missing items.

Pretty good place and the prices are reasonable. Helps if you speak Spanish because they may not speak English very well. Real casual and quite.

This is a small and cozy restaurant. Parking is a big challenge, but worth going to eat at Uchu. The staff is very friendly and check with you frequently. The food is delicious and the portions are more than adequate. There are not many Peruvian restaurants in the state, but this is the best one!Vegetarian options: Have a mix of options.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly.

Had the Pollo a la Brasa and Salteado de Lomo Fino con Linguinis en Huancaina both were absolutely amazing! The salad and the dressing were also absolutely delicious!
