I recently went to dinner with my girlfriend and had a very poor experience at this restaurant. She ordered a complete fish… but they brought her out just a filet. When she explained there was an error, they argued with her about it and told her we’d have to pay more. We were surprised they would argue with us, instead of remedying the situation… so my girlfriend simply said she wouldn’t be eating, she was very nice about it … no confrontation at all … and she ate some of my plate. When we asked for the bill, they added gratuity onto it! Now, I’ve actually eaten here before, so I was extremely surprised when they added gratuity to our bill… when in the other times I’ve ordered from here. we’ve never been charged a gratuity … even on to-go orders I’ve picked up to bring home. Their poor customer service is what prompted me to write this review. Very disappointed by their lack of professionalism and crappy customer service.

I just finished my lunch and it was very flavorful. I just moved to the area so I am eating out often. I tell you I have not found a restaurant where I would return until this one! This was an excellent meal. I was served chicken soup to start and it was good, not bland at all. When I got to the bottom there was a small chicken bone so I knew it was not from a can(love it). I ordered fish with sautéed onions and tomatoes on top and my goodness every bite I savored. I should have known it was going to be good because the other customers were local Peruvians and Cubans, no tourist here! You must try it because if you do not… man-o-man you are surely missing out. Oh yeah it is reasonably priced, $ 9. You can not beat that!

This Unilocal site, which I’ve previously reported as being a duplicate for Cabo Blanco Restaurant, is a duplicate of: , which site seems to be the primary one with a greater number of reviews, so I’d suggest it a good idea to check it out too. I was surprised at the size of Cabo Blanco. Upon entering you find a bigger restaurant than you’d initially think, having excellent, quick, helpful attentive service. The food portions are large and, for another surprise, the wine glass comes full; all at not only a reasonable but a seemingly bargain price. It bills its cuisine as Peruvian/Cuban, but from what I had and saw others having, the food has a distinct Peruvian bias to it. Those large sized kernels of Peruvian corn on what would otherwise be a Cuban dish are somewhat of a hint. The menu is exhaustingly extensive, far larger than found in most restaurants of such size and there are pictures of their servings on the wall together with pricing to assist you in ordering. I could easily go four stars for Cabo Blanco with its neat, clean interior and friendly well run operation, but found the flavor and taste of the food not up to the standards of the similar Peruvian restaurants; lacking in balance. As an example, I ordered the Ceviche Mixto which came as a good sized portion containing fish, octopus, squid and plenty of shrimp top with onion topping and what I think was a delicious yam side. I was asked how I wanted it prepared, being mild, spicy or hot. I ordered mild and it came mild, however the strength of the citrus used to chemically cook the ingredients was overwhelming, even overwhelming enough and so pungent as to practically pickle my tongue and mouth, with the more resultant fact of overwhelming any of the flavors of the main ingredients of the dish. No matter what I ate from it, it all tasted citrus leaving me to only feel the different textures of the shrimp, fish, squid and octopus; all balance between flavors was lost.

Being in from out of town I was looking for something interesting with a local flavor. It was late for lunch but they serve their specials until 4:00. I don’t know much about Cuban food, but I’m glad I ran across this hole in the wall! The service was kind and timely. Lovely people! The food was similar to Peruvian I’ve had before in the sense that it’s a cross of home style(southern) food with more exotic, South American flavor. Definitely spicy and fresh! Hope I can make it back before I head out of town!

Not a good place for Peruvian food. I asked for chaufa(chicken fried rice) it had no taste, too much soy sauce and rice … I’ve been here years ago; I thought they got better but not… Peruvian food has no taste and the customer service sucks … Unhappy customer.

This place offers rotisserie chicken but it’s really oven roasted chicken that is over done. The chicken was bland and over cooked. Shrimp ceveche was ok nothing special. Steak, eggs, beans, and plantains were eh… ok. Seafood soup was probably the best thing. The cookies with dulce de leche also was poor. If we were not in a hurry we would have left. Service was also poor to say the least. Oh and we were the only family eating there. Never again go somewhere else!

I had a voucher so I decided to give this place a try on a Saturday night. When I arrived at 7:30pm there were two other tables being served. For awhile I was the only customer. At 8:30pm it was 30% full. The waitress was very friendly and explained the dishes very well. The menu also has pictures of some entrees. They bring you Cuban bread and pepper sauces for dipping. The green sauce is jalapeño and is extremely hot! The yellow pepper sauce is mixed with mayo so it isn’t as spicy. I ordered the cheesy linguini, chicken breast, and red beans.(Tallarin a la hauncaino de pollo) This meal was delicious. The chicken was well flavored and very juicy. Since I had to spend $ 15, I also ordered a meal to go.(aji de gallina). It was very good with the shredded chicken, potato and creamy sauce. It came with choices of sides and I chose rice and black beans. I also had a dessert that I purchased at the register on the way out. It was two buttery cookies with a caramel filling. It was very good and cost $ 2.50. There is plenty of free parking in front of the restaurant in the strip mall’s parking lot. The restaurant is large and the menu offers a variety of entrees. I would definitely go back to try other items on the menu. The menu is well priced for the quality and quantity of food provided.

I ordered take out from here. For the first time ever in my life, I drove all the way back after getting the food home it was that bad. Avoid this place. You’ll get better food at Pollo Tropical or even Wendy’s for that matter.

For the price, its great traditional peruvian food with plenty to choose from. Dont expect flash though, its a local type of spot. Staff is always friendly. Their aji de galina is what i always order.
