Callao Peruvian Cuisine

The entire ambiance is a vibe! What a cute restaurant. The staff was extremely friendly and the food was great. Food had a bit of a twist than the original versions, but still incredibly good. The food was great. However, I do think they can improve on their sauces. Like real aji amarillo, rocoto, home made blends, ect. I think those flavors would really enhance the dish. I think on the pairings for the empanada was great, but a little spice of aji would go a long way. The ceviche was good - however, the can ha was so hard and almost impossible to chew. So I left it alone. Overall, I think we were really satisfied with our meal even though we had minor hiccups.

Came here twice in one month for the roasted chicken. I find chicken to be pretty simple so refrain from ordering at restaurants but the chicken here is perfectly cooked. Also got the duck rice both times and the second time the duck was significantly undercooked than the first time. Didn't realize I didn't like duck that undercooked until that moment. Will only come back if our server is Diego. He is a joy to have as a server. Incredibly attentive and on top of everything. Sadly the second time we went, our server was the complete opposite and very absent.

Homemade potato chips instead of breadsticks at your tableI had the scallops with garlic butter dipped in Parmesan cheese. Melt in your mouth!!The chicharon was the best I ever had.The drinks were first rate also. I strongly recommend!!

We went here on Valentine's Day. My husband and I selected the Valentine's Day menu while my son picked his own dishes - Empanadas de carne & Carapulcra de cerdo. The good was delicious with the compliment glass sparkling wine. The live music made it more special. The only thing my son didn't like for his Carapulcra dish is the pork a bit tough for his sore throat. Maybe he will enjoy it next time when he isn't sick. My husband really likes the dessert - Lucuma crème brulee and he wants to try it again with my older son who couldn't make it here.

We decided to try Callao last Saturday. We were the only ones sitting on the front patio (because of our dog) and it was a little chilly, but they kindly accommodated us out there and turned on a heat lamp for us. We enjoyed the food - my husband especially loved the beef heart skewers and potatoes, I had the pork belly appetizer and the yuca fries. Drinks were very good although the average price in this area for a cocktail is around 18 - 20 dollars and that just seems outrageous - but this is not specific to Callao, and I understand how hard it is to make rent around here.

The empanada was very meaty! Chunks of steak. We tried the duck rice and seafood rice entrees which were very good. Flavorful and the duck was cooked well. Callao is great new addition to Los Altos!

What an absolutely fabulous night we had! Callao is a welcome addition to DT Los Altos. The decor feels like you've been transported to a square in Peru, the food is delicious (the mixed ceviche is one of the best I've ever had, filled with flavors and textures) and the pisco sour was strong, not too sweet (I asked for a splash of syrup and it was perfect). They have a private room which is just beautiful but the back area is semi private and was perfect for our spirited birthday party of 5 ladies. The highlight though was the service. Diego couldn't have been more wonderful and welcoming. Please ask for him and tell him Donna says hello!! Go support this local gem!

Tried this place 8/9/24. Everything we had was really delicious. We ordered:Crab CroquettesArroz con MariscosPescado - Ajiaco de Olluco (Fish was salmon tonight)Ribeye y Pure de PapasSo the chefs really know what they're doing.Prices are on the high side (about $50 per person for food alone) but quality is good.Service was initially very good - too good! We had 2 different waiters coming to take our order. Then, once we were done, the restaurant had gotten full, and nobody was coming to our table - they seemed very short staffed. Will be worth 5 stars once they work out the service kinks.

Delicious cocktails, wonderful food, nice people make it worth the slightly challenging location. Nice atmosphere also! The tuna ceviche and chicken stir fry (Tallarín Saltado de pollo) were especially nice. I cleaned out the bowls! (Save a spoon from the appetizers- you'll want it to get the last bits of sauce from your entree.)

I will tell you one thing we make a reservation. It was so easy. We came 14 people all my friends and family and we ordered food. It was delicious. The service is top of the line. The waitress explained everything we needed and we are really appreciate it the places like this in our neighborhood Thank you guys.
