Surco Peruvian Food Cart 2

Delicious food and sauces. Great location on the Capitol Square. It feels good to support a small business. Note: Their food cart is cash only.

I took out lunch from this cart on a weekday. Arroz con pollo was my entree. It was really good. Especially the cilantro rice had nice flavor. Also the passion fruit dressing was good.

My girlfriend and I stumbled upon this food truck during our lunch break on a rainy day. We were right downtown and this food truck is located right on the capital square. We got the arroz con pollo and adobo chicken. The service was very friendly! They have three different sauces that you can get for free. Highly recommend you try all three and find your favorite. The arroz con pollo is amazing! The chicken is wonderfully grilled and the cilantro rice is out of this world. The adobo chicken is quite good as well but the arroz con pollo beat it imo. If you are ever around the capital and want some good hearty food definetly try this out!!

The sauces!!! If you have been, you will know exactly what I mean here. If not, check this cart out and be sure to try all three of their delicious sauces on any dish you get. They have a green (mild), yellow (medium) and orange (hot) sauces available to self serve and they are absolutely fantastic. Pro tip: try them all and also take some to go!Overall the food is always delicious, quick and the folks running the cart are always super nice and helpful. They will explain the different dishes and sauces to you with a smile.

I was excited to grab lunch here, since I didn't get the chance to try their restaurant when it was around. The menu looked great but seemed a bit pricey. I'm thinking this is because we have limited Peruvian options, so this is a specialty! I chose the Lomo al Jugo ($10!) -- which is strips of beef sirloin, fries, tomato, green and red onion, cilantro, served with rice and salad. The beef was dry and lacked flavor. My lunch was missing the fries, green onion and fresh cilantro the menu has promised. Portion was small. This is why my review has such little stars.. :(What I do like is that they have two home-made sauces available: 1) a green one, mild and jalapeño-based, and 2) a yellow-orange one, which is supposed to be spicier. Both have good flavors but not the level of kick I prefer. They also had a slight, creamy texture, which was unexpected but in a good way. I am hoping to try their other dishes. I've seen better reviews about their chicken dishes, and now that I think about it, realize there were none on this particular one for a reason.

I did not think at first I would like the lentils but actually oh my it was delicious. Jasmine rice was cooked just right. Chicken was good, a little dry but overall for 6.00 it was awesome! I will stop there again

Surco has two food carts now. The original at Library mall and their new one is placed on the intersection of W Main and MLK. They serve the same delicious dishes as their original but is now accessible to those around the Square, which makes it a lot easier for me. Their chicken con pollo, adobo chicken and chilli chicken are all amazing. Even if you just get their cilantro rice (large $8, small $6), you'll still be satisfied and still have excited tastebuds. And even though their dishes have a lot of flavors, there's nothing wrong with adding more of their green and yellow sauces. One of my favorite carts and now I can have it everyday for lunch (if I can) since it's a lot closer to my job.

This is my go-to lunch spot during the week. The food is delicious and the guys who work here are super friendly. Every time I go I tell myself I'm going to try something new, but I always end up getting the arroz con pollo because it's so good -- especially with the sauces!

The reason why I give this place 3 stars and not 4 is really because the dish was extremely greasy. The flavors were great, and the service was pretty quick. Plus, the staff in the window explained the sauces to just about everyone in front of me. It is a great place to try. Surprisingly not that cheap for a food stand, but I was happy to eat my dish outside in the grass on the square.

I don't know what they put in their sauce, but I'd eat dirt if it was covered in that stuff. Their food is incredible too! Worth every penny.
