Spend your hard earned money somewhere else. The food is way overpriced. You can get a comparable meal at La Granja for half the price. I ordered lomo Saltado and it was average but 18 $ for a lunch portion is a little pricey. My husband ordered a steak dish with pan seared rice and beans and it was so salty that he could barely finish it. The thing that got me though was the attitude of the wait staff. I want to feel welcome at a restaurant. I want to get a warm, welcoming feeling from the staff. These people were like robots. There were no smiles and I genuinely felt like I was not welcome there, very uncomfortable. If the staff had a different attitude, I may have given another star. I live very close by and will not be back.

This is by far one of my favorite restaurants. The food here is amazing. If you like ceviche or Peruvian food, you must check out Victoria’s. The staff is very friendly and provide excellent service. Always a great experience and the food never disappoint. I recommend the leche de tigre appetizer, ceviche, tiradito dos cremas, the lamb, and honestly there is no wrong choice. Everything is excellent!

Just tried this place out. Mom and Dad are the chefs and their sons run the two restaurants in the same shopping plaza… at different ends of the plaza. Very friendly bilingual staff. My skirt steak was cooked to perfect medium rare. The plantains were the best I have ever tasted. Large tasty portions. Took home an interesting dessert… two shortbread cookies sandwiched with dulce de lech filling. I will return and order other things as everything coming from the kitchen looked delicious.

Great quality food, clean place and fast service. Homemade cookings at its best, Peruvian. We had seafood paella for one, to go and the portion was huge. Will go back for sure.

Peruvian food is pretty much always good and Victoria’s has the best in Palm Beach county. Lomo Saltado — fantastic! chicharron de pollo — the best fried chicken I’ve ever eaten(didn’t expect that since there are actually entire restaurants devoted to that). Ceviche — fresh, great flavors. If you like Peruvian food, or want to try it, or want to take friends to try it, this is the spot to go.

Oh Victoria’s! You are always a great choice! Without debate, the best Peruvian food I have ever experienced and yes food is an experience. From the minute you walk in and are greeted like you are one of the family or a friend they haven’t seen in a while to looking at your empty plate and contemplating ordering one to go, its a 5 star experience. I live dangerously close. Like hmmm, well this homemade dinner is a fail – Victoria’s it is, close. My absolute favorite dish is the arroz con mariscos and it is similar to a seafood paella. Sooo very good! Bright colors of fresh rice, seafood and plated to perfection. Looks almost too good to dive into. When I order to go its generally enough to have for 2 – 3 meals and is perfect for sharing! Contemplating going again as I type this update and start planning for lunch.

Have no fear, Practice your Spanish HERE… My friend from Peru told me Victoria founded this restaurant and like Peru business owners, they work in their business vs having outside management. My Peruvian friend treated my wife and I here again for our wedding anniversary. The Cerviche and Tacu Tacu was awesome!!! My Peruvian friend took me here one time so far. It was his birthday. I ended up treating him and his family and my wife. The Cerviche here is AWESOME! They speak spanish of course, but I love Spanish cooking esp from Peru.

Omg this food was soooo awesome. It’s been years since I’ve had great Peruvian food. I totally recommend it. The prices were reasonable and the portions were great.

The food was amazing! The service was on the verge of OK, and Good. They were so rushed and going crazy that it made us feel rushed. We sat at a table too close to the bar(it was the only one that was available apparently) and the waiters, manager, and everyone kept walking so close to us that I was scared one of us would get hit on the head. Anyways, the food was fresh, greatly proportioned for the price, and well worth a second try.

Noisy place with amazing food. Usually, large portions are a turn off for me, Parihuela Especial is like a bouillabaisse in a tomato broth, Aguadito de Mariscos is bouillabaisse in a cilantro base, Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos is a Peruvian style paella, everything tasted just amazing, they have a Peruvian drink called Chica Morads made of purple corn, pineapple, Apple, lime, cinnamon, cloves and sugar is worth a try. This will be a must go to place for me every time we visit Palm Beach

We opted for the lomito saltado and the chicharron de pollo, plus tres leches for dessert. The portions were generous and on par with the price. The saltado was amazing, served with onions, tomatoes, fries, and rice. The meat was full of flavor and extremely tender, the fries absorbed the sauce and juices, and the rice had its own character with hints of the bell pepper it was topped with in each bite. The chicharron had a good amount of breading, but the chicken was cooked well. The sauce and beans it came with were good on their own or combined with the chicken and fries. The tres leches was sweet and spongy — what you’d typically expect. Now for the negative things… It really sucks that they only take reservations for groups of 5 or more. You’re made to wait for 30−40min while groups can just walk in. Service could be better. It took 10min for someone to bring us water and an additional 5min for our waiter to even come to our table. I think it’s more of a free-for-all instead of having assigned tables, since I asked one person for a drink menu and as soon as I opened it someone else came and asked if I’d like something other than water. Good thing we didn’t get a drink, because they were barely competent with the water. It was difficult to get refills, and the one time they did decide to refill it, they overflowed it(which normally shouldn’t happen if you’re paying attention, especially since there’s no ice) and had to get another glass. Finally, they seemed exasperated when we ordered dessert. If you didn’t want us to order anything else, you shouldn’t have asked. Overall, the food was great in both flavor and portion size, but service was poor and made the experience lackluster.

The children of the family are spoiled and take no pride in the family business. They are low to preform and have no respect or take any pride in their father;s achievement. I can say this as I was there for lunch once waited over 10 minutes, no service, no menu, nothing and left with a bad tasted in my mouth. On another try with my son for dinner, the appetizers were so extremely super salty like drinking the ocean we could not eat them and ruined our taste for dinner. We have never been back and we could walk there from our home.

I am a big fan of this place. I have come here several times and every time I always leave with a very happy stomach. Today I had the sopa de res and pescado a lo macho. The sopa de res was good, not my favorite but still good. The leche de Tigre is always delicious here so I do recommend that or if you want the full blown thing the ceviche is highly suggested. Perfectly prepared with a great spice, served with sweet potato and Peruvian corn. The pescado a lo macho is always a great dish. One of the better creamy sauces I have tasted for this dish has been here. The portions is big enough to share for sure. The service is always fantastic. It’s family owned so they are always very attentive.

Holy Mother of the Peruvian Gods! This place is fabulous. The food is without a doubt the tastiest, freshest and most loved morsels to enter the cavern in the middle of my face. It was bustling with a substantial wait list when we arrived on a week night, but seeing the latino families, mixed with locals and some«high society» types all carefully packed into this small establishment — that’s gotta be a sign its worth the wait, right? You better believe it. Now having never been to Peru, neither considering myself extremely acquainted with Peruvian delicacies, I have little to compare with this experience, but the taste factor alone, makes me want to stand outside waving a banner saying, «Give your tastebuds a vacation and get yourself to Victoria’s»(although maybe that could be taken the wrong way…) It remains true to that«family» feel, the servers are attentive, the manager is a great leader(we were privy to seeing as we were sat at the bar and the action was all on display for us.) The hostess was polite, and service was speedy, but not hurried. Since we were only two small bodies, we opted for the bar seats, there are only 4 anyway, but it was nice to have a view of all the business in the kitchen and the flat screen that had a good international football game on(that’s soccer to the rest of you). We started with Chicha Morada to drink, as it seemed appropriate to start an authentic experience(similar to mulled wine, but made from purple corn) and it was yummy… paired with the fried yucca and peruvian cheese sauce. It was spicy, cheesy and flavorful. Then I ordered the Lomito Saltada, and my foodie friend the Ceviche Mixto. WOWZA. Everything was out of this world delicious. Portions were large and I made it a goal to cram as much as I could into my face. The Lomito Saltada was juicy steak strips, sorteed with tomatoes and red onions in a hearty brown sauce over fries, and side of rice — it was so juicy, even the veggies had a meaty sweetness to them, the rice and fries mopped up all that succulent sauce and flavor, making this plate every inch as flavorful as it sounds. As for the ceviche? Fresh, fresh, fresh! Wow, it was light, zesty, spicy, flavorful and packed with tasty seafood morsels. Boy what a night, I certainly left with a food baby, and would gladly go back for another. If this is an example of Peruvian cuisine, then it is surely waving it’s flag with pride, flavor and love. Keep doing it Victoria’s!

Victoria’s is a Peruvian restaurant located across the street from my house on US1, just across the street from«Downtown Lantana» aka three restaurants, a CVS, and the monstrosity of a middle-aged drunk syndrome that is The Old Key Lime House(woo-hoo, it’s not NYC, but it sure feels like city living!)…cue the deflating balloon. Well, anyways, I’ve been here a couple times, and my last visit was simply great. The service was… good, except my waiter was not smooth, he was more like a chihuahua and less like a labrador; overly excited and jittery, not calm and relaxing. I give him props for waiting patiently for my dinner date and I to take so long to order. I have to get to know the girl before I decide to foot the bill or not! Just kidding, I only foot the bill for my mom… The atmosphere of the place is elegant, yet not stuffy and high class, but inviting nonetheless. It’s always clean inside. The lighting is well-balanced, giving off a romantic vibe but also enough to make it a great place to take the family. A group behind me celebrated their grandmother’s birthday and I pondered the inevitable demise of my twenties and the onset of long, boring adulthood and children. I also had a sudden urge for cake, and never to have children. I ordered the«Ceviche De Mariscos» which is a mixed ceviche, full of yummy mussels, scallops, and fish. The food was excellent, taste was there, but the plating was frustrating. My ceviche was served in a strange looking bowl that could double as tiny futuristic chair from the 60’s. It looked nice, but towards the end of my meal I was fishing(no pun intended) my last morsels of seafood out of the bottom of the bowl. I would have liked it to be spread out on a plate, like the ceviche I ordered last time. This isn’t bobbing for apples, lay out the goods for me on a plate. The portion was… a tad bit lacking, and the price is a bit inflated for what I ordered. All in all, I recommend this place to anyone who wants real, authentic Peruvian cuisine. I will have to revisit and maybe update my review. But for now, the decision stands!

I was in town for a medical school interview and decided to try some Peruvian cuisine, which is something that we don’t normally have in the SF Bay Area. Since I was eating alone, I decided to sit at the bar. I started off with ordering a sangria, because why not. It was absolutely delicious by the way and I wish I could have ordered more, but of course I was driving so I didn’t want to risk it. After perusing the menu, I initially wanted to order the lamb stew but unfortunately they had run out. So sad! So instead, I ordered the Peruvian seafood fried rice which turned out to be an AMAZING choice. The rice was seasoned SO perfectly. Every bite just had amazing savory flavor. Also, there was a LOT of seafood in my dish. Half the dish was made up of calamari. There were also mussels, shrimp, and prawns. This is the first time that I haven’t had a restaurant give me more rice than seafood. It was such a good deal. The waiters also had me try some salted/dried corn kernels which were pretty good. They’re kinda the Peruvian version of bar peanuts. Overall, I loved the place and I wish I could go back with my fiancé to try some more. Let’s just hope I get in to medical school so I can have the opportunity to be in Florida again!

Peruvian cuisine is one that I can usually get myself into the mood for, since there’s such an array of dishes, ranging from light selections like ceviche to heavier plates that constitute larger portions of meat and carbohydrates. After 4 nights in Florida and having sampled a number of cuisines, my bf and I decided to go for Peruvian and found Victoria’s on Unilocal.It was located in a part of town we’ve never heard of — Lantana, and only a 20 min drive from our hotel. The neighborhood seemed a bit run down and ‘ghetto’ for a lack of better words, but Victoria’s stood out from the little outdoor mall it was situated in. We even discovered after pulling in to the lot that there was another Victoria’s at the corner that specializes in rotisserie chicken. This place has got to be good… The restaurant looked cozy. We were seated shortly and presented with 2 glasses of water and some toasted kernels to munch on. First thing I noticed unfortunately was something green and leafy near the rim of my glass. I think it was cilantro. Having said that, I ordered an iced tea and didn’t drink the water. Along with that we also ordered the ceviche mixto, picante de camarones and bistec a lo pobre. The ceviche was fresh and very appetizing and my shrimp was creamy and delish, not overly done and gave off a perfect crunch. My bf’s steak was cooked and seasoned pretty well, but it could’ve been topped on a smaller bed of fries. The portions were very generous and all the dishes were fairly priced. It was a great meal despite an extra leaf of cilantro garnish that I didn’t request. We do suggest that they add rotisserie chicken onto the menu because the selections really did lack poultry. Why not, since they’re being prepared right around the corner? Nonetheless, I would return when I am in town again and craving some Peruvian.

It was one of the few times we’ve been in the area and were relying solely on Unilocal to find a restaurant for dinner. After reading the reviews of literally dozens of restaurants in a ten mile radius, we decided on Victoria’s based on the consistently high ratings. We are big fans of Peruvian cuisine and were craving fresh seafood, which we were not disappointed. Victoria’s is nestled in a small shopping plaza just west of Federal highway. They have two restaurants in the plaza, one is their more casual Peruvian style rotisserie chicken restaurant and the other is the main Victoria’s location. There is plenty of free parking in the plaza’s lot. We had little expectations having almost no knowledge of the area, but were pleasantly surprised by the ambience upon walking in. The restaurant isn’t upscale, but it isn’t entirely casual either. It’s a nice place to bring a date and they have a small wine list, as well as a few imported Peruvian beers, to accompany your meal. We opted for the Vuelve a la Vida appetizer — a small mixed seafood ceviche served elegantly in a martini glass. It was delicious, very fresh with a great flavor. We ended up eating the marinade by the spoonful long after the seafood was finished. For our entrees we ordered the Lomito Saltado, which is strips of beef stir fried with onions and tomatoes, served over fries with a side of white rice, as well as the Jalea Mixta, another Peruvian staple of fried fish, calamari, shrimp and mussels served with fried yucca, pickled onions and tartar sauce. Both portions were more than enough food for two, yet so delicious we ended up eating off one another’s plates and finished both entrees. We ended our meal with an espresso and coffee with milk, I don’t say café con leche as unfortunately it was a bit weak and more«American» style coffee than Latin American, yet is the only complaint I have with the entire evening. Service was impeccable throughout the meal, they were incredibly professional and we were never left wanting or having to ask for a thing. They anticipated every single detail of the evening and all staff worked together seamlessly to ensure our needs were met. The bill came to just over $ 60 for two, including one alcoholic beverage and a large sparkling water. It was a great value for the quality of food and service, if only we lived closer to come back more often!
