La Feria

I've never been to this place and wish I knew about it sooner! The food was amazing and they have a lot of gluten free and vegetarian options. The space is small and upstairs. The service was fast and accommodating for our group. I would recommend the tortilla de papa, meat or vegetarian version. The vegetarian version had spinach and feta and was really good! A lot of people in the group enjoyed the empanadas.

My first time trying Peruvian food, I believe. To be honest, I was kind of disappointed with this place. Maybe I just had unreasonable expectations. In any case, I tried their alfajor, sweet potato chips, and ropa vieja sandwich.The alfajor was very dry. For the price, the portion was okay, but not the best. The only genuinely good part of it was the relatively tasty dulce de leche on the inside. The shortbread part of the cookie was just not that good, a bit stale.Sweet potato chips were solid. They weren't the crispiest, but that was liKelly due to the delivery process. I was disappointed in them not really being seasoned. But, a nice hint of sweetness.Finally, the ropa vieja sandwich itself was not that good. The meat was not very well seasoned and on the fatty side for me. The bread was good but nothing special. I just wanted it to be more flavorful.All in all, it's a nice little spot, but the food isn't that great. I still want to try more Peruvian items, but perhaps not from this spot.

Service is always so friendly and lots of warm sunlight because they're situated upstairs. We tried the Ropa vieja which was so juicy and flavorful. The entree was very homey with the rice and they were kind enough to remove the walnuts from the salad. Sandwich was basically the same thing but in sandwich form. Highlight was the empanadas-- soo good. My favorite is the chicken and cilantro with mayo and pickled red onions. This combo was delicious and we had to get three more to go cause I was hooked. The spinach and cheese empanada was ok and the beef was not bad either. Please come and support this lovely business!!

La Feria is half store and half restaurant, so the perk to dine here is the opportunity to browse handcrafted arts from South American.I've been here a few times and particularly like their empanadas (check their daily specials board for savory or sweet choice of empanadas). Entree and side salads are freshly-made comes with their non-dairy house vinaigrette dressing. I also had some delicious ropa vieja here, which must be slow cooked for hours to be such flavorful. I saw another review saying that many of the entrees here are pre-made and heated up before serving. This totally makes sense because most of the dishes here take hours to make (almost impossible made-to-order). At the $10 - $15 price range, I can have a yummy, satisfying Peruvian lunch, so I think I can live with pre-made food.

I've been to Peru and this food is as authentic as you can get. Love the old clothes sandwich.

Best salad in the city. Great staff and cool atmosphere. Been here many times and decided I better give a good review.

La Feria truly has very, very sweet employees. Everyone we spoke to was really just excellent and that boosted my review a star. But this place has a few things that made me a bit unhappy. Although there are vegetarian menu items, everything is very obviously prepared long before and heated up. The heating up process took an incredibly long time, so one might even think they were getting a made to order meal. Thankfully, everything was warm enough but it really did a number on the taste. The rice is bland. My frittata was bland. Even the lettuce was bland. Dressing didn't help. The other problem I had was the description of the food vs. what you actually receive. My grandmother assumed she was getting a lentil soup and she instead received a plate of mostly rice with some lentils on the side. I ordered a potato and sundried tomato tortilla with egg and there was no tortilla in sight.. it was another plate of mostly rice with a small frittata on the side. Kind of disappointing! The beautiful items in the store and the interesting descriptions on the menu make you assume the food would be very flavorful and authentic but that is the furthest from the truth...

Came on a Thursday late afternoon for lunch/dinner got the daily pollo special and an Apple empanada, which I've never had before, and it was all amazing. Perfect portion for the hungry traveler. The service here is also very friendly, clean and speedy. Would definitely come back again. Oh and the cafe con leche are amazing too!

Quaint stop above Pamela's on Walnut Street with fantastic service. I had been wanting to try La Feria for a while, and finally made it in. The sweet potato chips were amazing and the ropa vieja was delicious. I'd definitely stop by again for lunch!
