Cholito Restaurant

This place had some potential. I ordered a plate of Lolo Saltado and was enjoying it when suddenly I realized the piece of stake I was chewing ended up being wrapped around a two-inch piece of tough plastic bag. I informed the waitress and she apologized and said the bag was used to measure the right portion for the beef. She offered a 20% discount when I paid the bill and although it wasn't necessary, I was not happy with the experience. The tough plastic scratched the roof of my mouth and I still feel unpleasant many hours later. I personally won't return to this restaurant due to the experience but I doubt (or at least hope) this was a very isolated case. Aside from that, the rest of the food had a good flavor. Not the best, but certainly not the worst. The place was at about 50% capacity with half of those dining outside under a tent and the other half in the restaurant. We dined inside. If it were not for the bad experience I would rated this 3 stars (or "I liked it"). The priced were also a bit high. The plate was $19.99 and the portion was decent but not large enough to qualify the price. For that amount If love to have a few bites left over to take home. In the end the dish consists of steamed rice, french fries, purple onion, and a few pieces of beef in a sweetened soy-sauce type dressing. In my opinion not worth the $20. If you are a foodie that likes Peruvian cuisine it may be worth s shot. If it's your first time trying Peruvian cuisine I'd recommend searching for alternative restaurants first.

3.5 stars. I know this place is supposed to be amazing because it is usually always full. This was my first time trying it. I had the 1/4 lb chicken with beans and fries on the side and my girlfriend had the Lomo Saltado. The chicken was a little bit dry and seemed a little old. I know restaurants don't have fresh chicken every single day but still. The Lomo Saltado was apparently amazing 5 out of 5. I guess it is what they are known for so it is what matters most. In regards to service: it was Ok. Nothing bad to say and nothing over the top to talk about either. Just your average customer service. In regards to parking: I think that it is quite small. We went when it was almost empty but due to it being inside a plaza, there was only 2 parking lots left. I can only imagine how full it is when Saturday comes aroudn Price: I thought the chicken price was good. $10.99. Typical anywhere for anything but the lomo saltado i THINK was around $19.99. That to me is too steep. I should have SOME leftovers at that price but anyway, i guess it si their main thing so you can be the judge of that. Would I come again? I mean it would not be my first choice and I like to try new places but sure, I guess. Check it out and tag/follow us on instagram and tiktok @thehugnrynomadz
