El Tambo Grill

This has been one of my favorite places to eat Peruvian food at an affordable price. During the weekend, I was craving Peruvian food and decided to come here to pick up some. My go to entree is lomo saltado. This time I ordered it with arroz chaufa and it was very good. The lomo saltado was tender and juicy. It hit the spot. I also had the ceviche mixto and it was very good. It had a decent amount of seafood. The food did take a bit longer to be ready but it was fresh, so I did not mind waiting. The restaurant did a good job packing the sauces that come with each plate. The ambiance here is always good. I always enjoy eating here.

We always come for the ceviche de pescado and arroz chaufa de mariscos. The yuca is crispy and moist, definitely a must get. The portions of side is a bit skimpy, but the arroz is large and ceviche is standard. The workers are nice and despite a language barrier the service is pretty good. Food is not as good as previous years, but will leave you stuffed and satisfied.

Outside, the speakers play a very high pitched bird sound that can be uncomfortable. Otherwise atmosphere is decent.

El Tambo Grill is a very casual Peruvian cafe/takeout spot in west Kendall that serves traditional Peruvian fare. It’s probably most well known for its Peruvian roast chicken and it’s some of the best chicken that I have ever had. It’s moist, juicy and very flavorful. I have also tried their Tiradito and the presentation and taste were first rate.
Where El Tambo Grill does fall short is on atmosphere and pricing. It is a bare bones place, that is probably more suitable for take-out than dining in, although you can certainly dine in. And the prices are about the same as more upscale Peruvian restaurants like Cvi.Che.105, Aromas del Peru and Pisco y Nazca. So, not a place where you go to impress someone, or for a date. But definitely somewhere to go for great Peruvian chicken and other Peruvian fare, if atmosphere and price are not your primary concern.

Nothing fancy to look at but the food was delicious! We ordered take out and only waited about 20min for the order to be prepared.

Peruvian food is great, always. However, the pricing is deceiving at this restaurant. Pricing can go up on a daily basis and unnecessarily. Inflation here is at its finest. You are also not allowed to place an order over the phone and pick up and pay with cash. They do this, to charge the credit card surcharge purposely, because trust me, Peruvian food is not going to be ordered for no reason (too good to not come through and pick up). Chicken sizes are small bird sizes, for pricing you expect a nice plumped chicken. As prices rise, the sizing of the food becomes smaller as well. I ordered a soup which would come in quart sized plastic containers, but now they changed to half the size containers at same price, claiming this has been always the size, which is a lie. Lastly, they have a newsletter subscription to stay “in the know” and get discounts/promotions or specials like for your birthday, and I have been enrolled 2-3 years, if not longer, and to this day, I have yet to receive at least a complimentary cup of ice. Since price is consistently changing, they do not display menu prices on their website nor do they have a menu available to take home because of course it would be an big expense to print menus since they are continuously changing pricing.

My aunts told me this was a great peruvian restaurant and seeing the long crowds, it seemed true but unfortunately it was only average in quality. They do have a great variety of items and pricing seemed fair but i have had better peruvian food in Miami (which i have also reviewed). Just like reviewing pizza with a basic cheese slice, i tried a common dish that most Peruvian restaurants served which is a simple “lomo saltado”. The steak should be well seasoned and stir fried but this place had their steak tips drowning in sauce like it was beef stew. The texture of the meat was also similar to beef stew so it seemed boiled instead of stir fried. Their seafood platter was delicious which is definitely better than any peruvian restaurants i have tried before so there are some inconsistencies in how food is prepared. This is my first time here so I don’t know if this is their usual quality or a personnel issue cause some restaurants leave their best chefs for the heavy dinner times. I might try this place again if in the area but I won’t seek it out.

We visited this Peruvian restaurant, and I must say, it was an extraordinary experience. The vibrant flavors of traditional Peruvian cuisine were expertly showcased in every dish. From the ceviche bursting with freshness to the tender and flavorful lomo saltado, the culinary journey was exceptional. The restaurant truly captures the essence of Peruvian culture through its delectable offerings.

We were served the wrong order and when it was addressed we were treated with unprofessional behavior and lack of accountability.
Management was dismissive, gave no apology and showed poor organization. Instead of trying to improve the situation, the staff seemed indifferent, which left me and my husband feeling completely undervalued as customers.
