El Huarike Peruano

This is my 3^rd visit to this place I most say the experience is the best. I don’t normally do reviews but as a owner of a catering business and a food lover the food is excellent.

This was my first time trying Peruvian food. I ordered the Lomo Saltado. It was flavorful and truly satisfying. The portions were great as well. The place was emptier than I expected, probably because there’s another Peruvian restaurant competing with them in that same strip, but it meant fast service so I was pleased. The only thing is that its location, among a ton of other restaurants, makes it really hard to find parking during lunch time oftentimes.

We ordered food for seven people and they said it would be ready at 1pm. After we arrived, my two friends and I got in line. They told us that our food would be out in a few minutes and we could sit at the little «bar» area by the cash register. Forty minutes later, we were finally paying for our food. Annoyed, but hungry, we rushed back to work to eat. Not a single one of us was pleased. From the size of their side salad (about the size of a tangerine) to the overall taste. There was truly nothing good about our experience. The food was tossed into the garbage and we were all left dreaming of what a fantastic dinner we needed to have tonight to make up for this horrendous lunch.

You must try the Tallerines verdes con carne or the pollo saltado!!! The food was fresh and it tasted delicious. I recommend trying this place!

This place is in the strip mall next to Wendy’s, where for whatever reason it has the highest concentration of restaurants I’ve seen in a strip mall in Miami. Among them are Chinese, Vegetarian, a subway, Columbian, Mexican, two Argentine, and THREE Peruvians, and probably more I didn’t notice. All these restaurants make it really hard to find a parking spot. You just need a bit of patience and tag whoever walks into the lot and follow him/​her to the car.
I really like the clean and comfortable interior, and the fact that the waitress speaks good English and happily translates the menu for us. The back of the store is a grocery section.
This place closes early at 6pm, so we go there for lunches. They have incredible deals — $ 7.50 or $ 8.99 for an entrée with soup and soda. The soup, chupa de camarones on our visit, is admitted not the best example I’ve tasted: I’ve seen richer broth and bigger shrimps, but it’s tasty enough and considering it is included in the lunch, you can’t hold it to the same standard.
We are pleased with the dishes we ordered. The stuffed potato has ground beef, hard boiled egg, olive and raisin inside, and the sauce in the Pescado a lo macho is very delicious. Again, the dishes would improve with pricier ingredient, but heck I can’t afford a $ 30 lunch everyday, and for what I am paying for, I am mighty pleased with what I’m offered. Definitely will go back.
