Perú Criollo – Authentic Peruvian Flavors in Chicago
We visited Perú Criollo and really enjoyed it! The ceviche was delicious — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Overall, all the Peruvian dishes we tried were excellent. The lomo saltado was tasty as well, though it could be a little better — maybe a bit juicier or with a stronger flavor.
Still, the overall experience was great: friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and dishes made with that homemade touch you can really taste.
A place worth visiting again to enjoy authentic Peruvian cuisine in Chicago! ✨
For appetizers: The papas rellenas carne were wonderful (like a fried potato ball filled with beef battered & deep fried-arancini like appetizer). The ceviche was great! The sweet potato that came with was so nice. It had shrimp, octopus, and fish. The Churrasco Peruano – Grilled Ribeye Steak with Sautéed Onions was excellent! The garlic rice and Peruvian beans that came with were very nice. The lHuachinango Frito con Crema de Ajo – (Fried Red Snapper) fish was yummy! Lomo Saltado was also yummy! The three of us shared the Peruvianflan and it was down home great! Can’t wait to go back, and will definitely order take out!! What a find!
Side note: I love looking at the bad reviews of restaurants because after working in the culinary industry for so long you realize that people with no authority love putting down perfectly fine establishments because they think they know better. Upon looking at the 1 star reviews for Peru Criollo I was ecstatic to see the owner clapping back on every bad review. Go take a look! It’s so amusing. The owner sticks up for their staff, stands their ground on the quality of their food and is unapologetic when refusing service to a group of 10 who had the nerve to show up on a weekend without a reservation. I loved seeing it so much. To the owner, you’ve cultivated a gem. You know what you want your restaurant to be and you don’t let people’s opinions change that. To the people that insist on leaving bad reviews that could potentially hurt a business, you’re trash.
To sum it up, the food is AMAZING and the quality of the staff serves to enhance the experience. Also the decor is beautiful and the music is .
Our waitress was Aracely. She is an incredible waitress. She has great recommendations for your taste and is attentive to your experience.
