Paradita Eatery

My friend and I stopped in the public market in Emeryville. There were several little booths with different types of foods to choose from. There was quite a variety to choose from. We finally decided upon the Peruvian restaurant. The place like all the others was rather small. There were only about four tables, but it was still comfortable. I tried the pork roast sandwich that also had sweet potato on it. It was absolutely delicious. The combination of the flavors were really good. I definitely will have another. It was big enough that I was able to save half for my dinner. My friend got the pulled pork sandwich and she thought it was very good alsoThe staff were very friendly and helpful

The empanadas are made to order, fresh and tasty. I ordered the mushroom empanadas it was fresh and pairs well with the salsa.I also ordered the sweet potato fries, crispy and fresh.There are also salads and a plethora of drinks served here.I did enjoy the empanadas but I wanted to see a little more variety such as cheese empanadas, beef or chicken empanadas.There is seating near the counter and the shared public tables in the hall.The staff was nice but maybe I ordered the wrong dish.

Sunday, 12/29/24 at 11:30 am Aji de galina was a joke, awful portions for 18$ with only a half an egg and what's worse was the crap cheese they added which tasted like velveeta. You should be ashamed of yourself to disgrace one of Peru's national dishes. The red wine pour was at least good. I should've had sushi.

When I first entered I was greeted with warm smiles by the staff.I got the chicken skewers and it came with a salad bathed in a vinaigrette and two small potato slices, aswell as a side a green and yellow sauce.The chicken skewers were extremely juicy and tender. The marinade on the chicken was mouthwatering and when I had some of the salad it came with in the vinaigrette it felt like a flavor bomb in my mouth. The sauces on the side honestly weren't necessary because everything I ate had so much flavor but the sauces still tasted amazing aswell. I love this place! I'll definitely be back for other items.

I wanted to try something new for the both of us and we chose this place. The staff member asked if we wanted a sample so of course we gave it a try. And wow. Oh wow. We got a sample of the Lomito al Jugo. It was so good that I ordered it. Yes, the sample worked. While we waited for our food I was checking out their decor. There's a row of seating available inside. Simple decor, which is nice as it doesn't take away from the experience of tasting the food. When I got my order of Lomito al Jugo, I was so excited. It really is that good. The flavors were addicting. Everything was seasoned well and I didn't feel gross after eating anything. He also gave us a sample of the flan, which was good too. Not too sweet, just right.

The food is always delicious and their Alfajores are the absolute best. The service is always so cheerful and friendly. For a small space there is ample seating inside and out. Plus it is a part of a public dining experience where you can take your food out and try other places. This is a must try place for sure with many dishes and beverages to explore

Was craving chicken for lunch and this was the perfect spot! Pollo A La Brasa - 4.5/5 - Perfectly seasoned combining savory Latin flavors with slightly charred skin. Ordered half a chicken (1 drumstick and parts of thighs/breast) and I could barely finish it all. The Huancaina sauce was amazing, reminding my of a high quality cheese dip. The chimichurri was also bursting with flavor. Combining the chicken with these sauces turned brought my tastebuds to flavortown! Fries - 4/5 - I am a fry aficionado and I must say these fries were a hit! Crunchy, good thickness, and had flavor. They were moderately greasy, which could be good or bad depending how you're feeling. Near the end I shredded some chicken and made the perfect bite with chicken+fries+both sauces. Extremely generous with the amount too! Prepare to share or have leftover fries. Service was friendly and fast. Ambience was clean and had plentiful seating. Will come back to try more of their menu!

While we were at the Public Market, our friend ordered a pollipapas at Paradita Eatery for us to try. It's basically loaded fries which includes chopped up fried chicken, creamy rocoto aioli, cilantro, feta cheese and a side of chimichurri sauce for a tanginess to cut the grease. Tasted great altogether! Though I felt $15.50 was a bit steep for fries, however this could be a meal! Service was fast and friendly. Love that we can grab so many types of cuisine at the public market! It's not your typical mall food court. Better quality than we expected!

Inside public market is a Peruvian restaurant, while it doesn't sell ceviche it sells lomo saltado, something other Peruvian restaurants in the bay don't have. This place also sells tacos and dog friendly bites, so I would say I qualify as a fusion rather than authentic. I had a traditional lomo saltado, it was delicious. I probably would say If you ordered some of those things in a taco I'd feel like a fajita. Place sells Peruvian beer and other spirits, kind staff and salsa music. I'd say probably not the most authentic but considering Peruvian restaurants with lomo saltado it was decent. 4.7 of 5. I'd probably go again

First time having Peruvian food and it was pretty good. Great flavor and well seasoned. The meat was tender, juice and not chewy, and everything tasted very fresh. The maracuya was delicious! The employees were polite and the ambiance was pleasant, it drove me in the moment I heard Salsa playing. 4-stars because it's too pricey.
