Fogon Criollo

This is such a unique Peruvian restaurant, the food has always been well portioned for the price and always tastes great. Nothing to complain about as it relates to the service. You can dine in or take out and the space is casual and inviting. There is outdoor seating. I got the Beef Tallarín Saltado, which is a noodle dish with strips of steak and topped with green onions, red onions, tomatoes, and comes with 2 delicious sauces on the side. This is my favorite dish so far, some of the best noodles I've had, specially because the dish taste so flavorful with many hints of umami and grilled steak.

We had a fantastic takeaway meal from Fogon Criollo today which brought us back to fond memories of visiting Peru a few years ago. The food was well prepared and well presented in takeaway form... with the beloved ceviche picked up CHILLED as a separate step from the fridge and professionally set aside for us to pick up as fresh as possible. Check.The restaurant itself is casual and cozy with a few tables inside and out. Simple and tasteful decor throughout but we ordered takeaway and were happy with the organization and presentation.Mixed Ceviche: NOT TO BE MISSED! Fresh fish, squid, baby octopus, shrimp, sweet potatoes in an AMAZINGLY FRESH citrusy vinagrette marinading the fresh seafood so well. The flavors totally popped! Highly recommended!Aji de Gallina: Shredded chicken with potato in a creamy sauce - mild but very yummy.Chicken Chaufa: Peruvian chicken fried rice - my family FOUGHT over this dish and we wished we had ordered a second!Steamed Mariscos with a side of white rice: This was an extremely generous portion of shrimp, fish, octopus, squid and yam steamed in a flavorful sauce and served with a side of white rice. Presentation was awesome as there were different sizes of the seafood mingled within the dish... Perfect.I would highly recommend this casual but fresh and authentic place for a great Peruvian meal!

I had a fantastic dining experience at Fogon Criollo! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, filled with the delightful aroma of Peruvian cuisine that immediately whets your appetite.We started off strong with the passion fruit juice, which was refreshingly delicious. The squid calamari and plantains were also excellent starters, setting a high bar for the rest of the meal.The highlight for me was the pesto pasta steak - it was simply amazing! The flavors were rich and perfectly balanced, and the steak was cooked to perfection. The portions are generous, so you definitely get decent value for your money.The staff at Fogon Criollo are friendly and efficient, ensuring that our needs were met promptly. Plus, there's tons of parking available, making it convenient to visit.Severely underrated place!

I recently had the opportunity to try out Fogon Criollo, a new Peruvian restaurant in Tigard. I had my eye on it just waiting for them to open. I was seated outside in the shaded area, which was perfect on a hot summer day. Just note that if you want to sit on the patio, you won't be able to order alcohol...you must sit inside for that.I ordered the Mix Chaufa, which is their version of fried rice with seafood, chicken, and ribeye. The chaufa was delicious! The rice was perfectly cooked and the seafood, chicken, and ribeye were all cooked to perfection. I asked for hot sauce and they brought me a red and green one. They weren't quite hot enough for my taste, but the flavor was delicious, so I smothered my rice dish. I just ordered a glass of ice water to go with it.The service at Fogon Criollo was excellent. My waiter was very attentive and made sure that my water glass was always full. I'm already planning another trip there with some friends to try some other dishes.

My wife and I were going to another business within the same plaza and I noticed a Peruvian flag outside of the building. After reading the menu it sounded really tasty and we were not disappointed. The indoor seating is small but amble, they have a tall cooler with many drinks, they have Inca Kola, my favorite. The menu had a great deal of choices. We landed on the Chicken saltado, large chucks of chicken that are sauté with red onion, tomato and French fries in an amazing glaze, it's also served with with rice. Ask for the spicy dipping sauces, be mindful of the red one it packs a punch. I also noticed that fried plantains were on the menu, we had to have them, so glad we did, they were cooked perfectly with a light fry, so good. The employees were very friendly and attentive, this is a nice spot with amazing detail to the culture and food. Stop by and enjoy.

We have been anxiously awaiting for this place to open for months! My husband and I went to Peru for our honeymoon and love Peruvian food. They don't have a website yet and no way to order online, so we called in advance. It took a little while for them to answer, but they were so friendly when they did. It was easy to order, and the wait was only 15 minutes. Parking is easy, and there's plenty of it. It's in the old Jet Set space.We got a free passion fruit drink for being one of the first takeout customers! I ordered the beef chaufa, and it was excellent. Great flavor! My husband ordered something that I can't remember now... he liked his too. The food came with two sauces. They were both very tasty. They prices were average, about 17ish for each dish.Well worth the cost. We'll be back!

We wanted to try something new and this Peruvian restaurant had good reviews. Staff welcomed us on entrance. We were seated at a small table between a family with a few kids (they were well behaved thankfully!) and a view of the garbage can through the window (they really need to move this!). Just odd since all of the other seats in the restaurant were open.The menu appears long, but really same sauces/styles repeated in the seafood, chicken and beef sections. The mariscos saltado included small octopus, squid and shrimp with a lot of tomatoes and onions. There were soft/wet french fries mixed in. Pretty good. We also had a beef noodle dish (beef tallarin) which was also good - also a lot of onions. I guess there is Asian influence in Peru. Around $18 a dish. Good to share.Several drink - both alcoholic and non-alcoholic - options available.Staff were friendly and attentive. They come to your table to take your order, but then you pay at the counter at the end.Ambience was ok. Plenty of parking.

Well here we are same week craving Peruvian food and decided to try this place and compare for future visits if it was going to be worth the drive. Well the answer is yes! We decided to sit outside because the inside was pretty busy. This place has some similarities and just enough differences from the previous Peruvian dining experience this past week to drive a little distance. Again, our household loves seafood and the variations were pretty tasty. Service was wonderful and very attentive. Food portions are big enough that you will have some left for lunch the next day. It could be that we always try a few starters as well so we can get the full experience and know just what to order the next visit.

The ceviche is magnificent! I did the pescado (all fish) and have been back twice already because I was craving it again and again.I also had the yucca frita with aji (hot sauce) to dip it in and was very pleased.

Shrimp Chupe here is VERY good as is the Jalea. I think they should do better on their Lomo Saltado based upon my one experience getting it. Ceviche and leche de tigre need to be made with a better quality fish than rock fish. I will keep going here because I want this little restaurant to make it! If they make a couple of changes related to what I mentioned above, they'll get five stars.
