The potions were huge and the presentation was as authentic as it gets (we ate in front of the cart). This isn't the fancy avant garde stuff, this is real everyday mouthwatering life sustaining fare. I had the lomo saltado and we shared some lúcuma ice cream- divine!

12/16/2023-NEW LOCATION UPDATES: I drove by the old location on Belmont last week and did not see the cart. Then, today, when I headed to the airport on 82nd Ave, I spotted it. I was surprised, so I turned around to confirm if it was the same one. I snapped a photo with the food pod location and contact info. The new location is on the corner of 82nd Ave NE and Beech Street NE. It's a super small food pod; they are the only cart here. It was 8:45 am, so it was closed, and I don't know if it's currently in business. I may drive by later today to check it out because I'm curious now. I hope it's in business and the quality has improved. I do miss the Peruvian seaweed on my sea bass ceviche. June 2023- I returned to the old location for the second time with my son and daughter (their first) since I loved it so much my first time. We were all disappointed since most of what we wanted listed on the menu wasn't available (we were told no ingredients) or he no longer makes them. I suggested he needs to cross them off on his menu. I ordered the sea bass ceviche again, and the portion was much smaller and salty with no flavor, which made me brag about it in my first review. I gave it 4/5 stars.My daughter got the chicken with rice dish, which was dried and again salty with no flavor. My son got the seafood fried rice. It was all mushy and salty and barely had any seafood. I was totally disappointed with this visit. We wondered if the owner was a bit off today since he was not as friendly to us as he was to me during my first visit. I told my adult children I might return a third time only if I'd be in the area to give it one last chance, but I won't drive to this side of town just because I'm a seafood ceviche fanatic.

Looked interesting and gave it a go.Not sure what makes it Peruvian ~ noodles with just a couple seafood shells, tastes no different than Panda chow mein. Chicken was ok, but again no unique flavor pop. Pretty expensive for a food truck.The area at night was a bit sketchy and was concerned for our vehicle even though we were parked right next to the truck.

WARNING! If you are a fan of Peruvian food, ya just hit the jackpot! I lived in South America for 10 years, so I got some creds. Drove by and saw this place, had to try. I only tried 2 dishes and desert but I can't wait to try the rest of the menu. The fish ceviche is the most legit(con leche de tigre) Peruvian style you will find, I often search out this dish and make it myself but I can't get mine like this. My wife had some meat dish, (can't remember, maybe Peruvian stew?) with rice, beans and onions-super tasty, would order again. I will be a regular here, poor location, hope it lasts, you won't have regrets.

Came here late at night around 11:00 PM after a long drive up. I wanted the lomos saltado, but unfortunately they only had chicken at the time so I got the stewed chicken. The chicken itself was super dry but the stew was ok. To be honest I was really hungry so I didn't care. Wasn't the best meal but the owner was nice. Got some hot sauce and it definitely made it better. The hot sauce isn't flavorful but it kicks a punch!

10/10 recommend!!! My boyfriend is Peruvian I'm American, we BOTH lived in Peru recently, for 6 months and moved back to the states not long ago so we know what good authentic Peruvian food should look and taste like. THIS FOOD IS AUTHENTIC, FULL OF FLAVOR, ARRIVED STEAMING HOT AND HAS THE FRESHEST INGREDIENTS....the meats are cooked to perfection, and the spices are the perfect balance....they have EVERYTHING you could want! they offer almost every single every famous Peruvian dish and they are all INCREDIBLE. There's not one dish they can't make perfect. The onion and cilantro mix that comes with most dishes is the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. WE WILL BE BACK.

I used to live near here, so I knew what we were getting into from that standpoint and the location did not disappoint, shall we say! It's pretty sketchy on that section of 82nd, but the cart pod is protected by a good fence if you pull inside (which is also a bit tricky). That cart pod is hurting and this place deserves a little better location. That said, The Oregonian's restaurant of the year 2023 (Ki'ikibáa) is like 5 blocks south, so there you go!But, on to the food review. The food is overall really good. It's not quite as good as the best Peruvian spots in town, like Cafe Zoraya which is my Peruvian wife's favorite. But the lomo saltado was great, the tamale was good, and the papa a la huancaino was good. But the ceviche mixto was....ironically, mixed. Some of the seafood was just right like most of the scallops and all the shrimp, but the octopus was tough for the most part and some of the scallops were overly chewy.I think if you stick to the basics like the chicken, beef, rice, fried yuca, beans, and sauteed vegetables, you're going to enjoy your meal. It's all a bit salty, but I feel like Peruvian food tends to be that way. My super picky daughter wolfed down a huge plate of beans, rice and fried yuca, and even some of the potatoes.

tamale and skewers of spiced beef hearts best Peruvian cart equivalent to michalan star places in Lima and Cuscobut more genuine. loaded with flavor, hot and salty spices, fresh cilantro and silvered fresh onions I had the grilled spicy beef hearts 2 enormous skewers moist tender (for hearts that is)and thoroughly delicious. I thought that meat went well with the ground cornmeal tamale. which was full of its own delightful treasures. the starches were amazing tomales rich flavors moist and crumbly potato like veggiesI cherish these moments of discovery. So willyou. try it Father and Son opened this hidden cart 4 months ago. I presume they do everything. They close up at 2am.
