Got my food to-go. Rice was great and well seasoned as well as the chicken. The Maduros were what I was looking forward to and it was rubbery and overcooked. I posted a photo here and it looked better than how it tasted. I also didn’t care for the yellow sauce.
Overall the food is decent.

This place is big in every way, flavor, variety, portion size and ambiance. It is real Peruvian food. Be careful, because if you order the wrong dish you will have to take most of it home. Parking is limited. Just park on the streets to the south or north. Don’t let the outside of this little restaurant fool you. It is a five-star dining experience. This is one you need to go to every week because it will sooner or later get so busy that There will be waiting lines. Very clean and sanitary. Beer served with chilled mug. Massive ice water container. Consider Lomo a lo poured that should be split in two. The tray with cold fish plantains and crunchy corn is Ceviche de tilapia. Tinga is a small bowl of spicy meat for chip dip. That should get you started.

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.

It was too hot inside the restaurant. We ordered tiger milk and it had cockroach inside it. We give that dish back and ask them not to charge for that dish but they charged for that too. When I asked for refund they said that we didn’t charge. I showed my transaction and later they said that we refunded. I asked for the receipt that time so they give me cash and it was less than what we paid. I highly recommend not to visit this restaurant. If you don’t have any other choice then cook at home instead of visit this restaurant.

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!

This was my first time trying Peruvian food and I’m hooked. The food was delicious and seasoned so well. The portions were perfect. The woman who served us was super sweet and gave us samples of some of their drinks. I highly recommend the chicha morada, it was one of the best juices I’ve had.
I learned that Peru has Chinese influences in it’s culture because of immigration in the 1900s. Being half Chinese myself I had to try one of these dishes and got the arroz chaufa de pescado. The fish was so crispy and well seasoned. The fried rice rivals my Chinese mother’s. My husband got the lomo saltado. Again perfectly seasoned and so tender and rich.
We live out of town but will be making the drive back again sometime soon. It’s definitely worth the drive.
