Chicama Peruvian Restaurant

Small little Peruvian Restaurant with full Peruvian Menu. Tasty and always prepared with care. The Chupe de camarones was hot and delicious and seco de Cordero was pleasing. They sale bottled maracuya drink and it was good. Can not complain very filling meal. Parking is tough but you can park on Cerritos and go for a little walk.

Don't judge this little hole in the wall by it's cover! This is, hands down, the best authentic Peruvian food in Orange County. Possibly the best empanadas in Orange County too! It's small and family owned, but the food is all sooo good, and the ingredients are fresh, which is very important with all the tasty seafood dishes. You can tell that the owner takes pride in his restaurant, and you can taste it in the food. My favorite things are the empanadas, beef saltado, and the chaufa. All this is best when washed down with a Golden Inca Cola! I honestly can not say enough good things about this restaurant, it's one of the places I bring new friends to surprise them with amazing food! When I can't come in, I order this for third party delivery, and staff always makes sure it's packed well for the travel with sauces.

My husband and I came here on a Sunday night. This is truly a hole in the wall. We both ordered fish items and were very satisfied with our choices. The owner, Cesar was very gracious in fulfilling our requests. One unique item I ordered was the chicken aguadito soup -traditional cilantro based, and in which you can order without the chicken! It was very delicious; I think squeezing lime or lemon will make it even better! The dessert Alfajores were melt in your mouth cookies-tasty!! The ambiance is cozy! We will definitely come again!

They always do a great job with any of their dishes that I've tried. It's always a good stop to grab some food after work on my way home. They are very friendly and welcoming. It's a little shop but they have lots to offer. Especially the cookies "Alfajores". Traditional Peruvian cookies. Its so delicious. They make them fresh every Sunday I believe. Check them out if you're in the neighborhood. Support small businesses because they support the community. If you like this review, please click the like button. Thank you and have a good day!
