Pacha Mamma Peruvian Restaurant

PACHAMANKA take #1 & take #2 First off, Meto the server is great fun; has a great story and on his way to athletic celebrity status! This is take #1 because the restaurant is so good we HAD to come back. The unassuming exterior belies the amazing food that awaits. We ordered the Pescado a lo Macho and Aroz con Mariscos. The portions were filling and the flavours outstanding. The aji amarillo really set off the entree. To finish things off, the passion fruit cheese cake was delicious; a fragrant flavorful custard-like filling and great sweet crust. TAKE #2 Our first experience with CEVICHE. Delicious. Did not know what to expect, it defied expectations. The lamb stew was so tender, I purposed to eat the whole thing with a SPOON lol. The shank meat fell apart; the seasonings in the rice, beans, sauces were great. Meto. Consistently fabulous again.

Stopped in for a light lunch, what a great find. We started off with a bowl of Toasted Choclo (corn kernels) which was awesome. I told the waiter when I make popcorn my favorite part is the unpopped kernels, and here I have a bowl full of them. Mmmm. For our entrees my wife had Ensalada De Aguacate, an avocado salad with spring mix, romaine lettuce, sliced tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions and hemp seeds. I wanted Ceviche and ordered Vuelve a la Vida with fine diced seafood in lime juice, calamari, octopus, shrimp, mussels, diced red onions, chopped cilantro and crispy sweet potato shreds. They were both awesome and perfect for a lighter lunch. I’m beginning to think Peruvian food might be one of my favorites. Start to finish we had a great experience, atmosphere, hospitality and food. Definitely a great place to enjoy a dining experience.

Guys! I had such a good food day yesterday. This is one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten. My food came really quickly. So delicious. They give you tiny roasted corn for a little snack while you wait. I love to watch other dishes come out while I'm waiting. Everything looked delicious and people were digging in, so it must have been. But the lamb is incredible and this chicken stew is amazing!

Splendid experience with the food! Robust flavors and thoroughly enjoyed every bite of all the dishes. Nice citrus flavors in the salad and deep red wine notes in the beef stew. The meat was absolutely tender and high quality. The only issue was the service but other than that, the food itself is 5/5!

This is by far the BEST Peruvian Restaurant ever. You can literally order blindfolded and every dish is an explosion of flavors, well balanced, every bite has a symphony of ingredients to the palate. Plus the attention is amazing. Smiling and super attentive. We are so happy we came here. Try everything! Silenia & Meto provided the suggestions that we loved!
