El Aji Peruano

We were so happy to hear about this new Peruvian restaurant. The building itself is not new, yet the service and delicious cuisine is absolutely fresh and new! We were immediately greeted with a warm smile from Paula, who was our excellent server and I believe co owner with her husband Aldo.We shared 2 crisp, flavored packed empanadas and their shrimp ceviche dish, each were absolutely deeelicious! We shared 3 main meals, soltado, pobre and tallarin, we 3 devoured our "shared" meals and finished our lunch with a plate of perfectly fried plantains! The warm welcome, friendly service and delicious food is a win, win, win, we will visit again soon!

New Peruvian restaurant in banning. A lot of people were talking about this place on Facebook so we decided to give it a try. They happened to be getting their sign in front of the restaurant which is great so that they won't be confused with the former owners. It's pretty small inside about eight tables, but they offer wait service. The service was OK, lacked warmth. There were a lot of great sauces but very small containers. I enjoyed the sauces that I tried. I liked the Peruvian empanada, and I thought the Lomo Saltado was very flavorful with a good quality of meat however, there was very little meat. I would the food 4 stars. Sodas are canned or you can try the inka cola. Some of the drinks weren't available. I will say this, at the end, she comes up to the table and says our total, but doesn't provide a paper check only tells us the price and to scan the card on an iPad. You can't customize the tip so you have to choose between 15, 18 and 20% (or nothing). I entered my phone number to get a receipt by text. Check your receipt. They double charged us tax.

New place in town with delicious food so it was crowded and service was a bit slow but it was worth the wait. They were busy running round but didn't take away from the experience. It's a small place but not bad. Please be patient with them. Portions are on the smaller side, but you'll be full if you try one of their amazing starters. Only thing that took away from the experience was the restroom. The restroom is outside (it was cold), so it could be a little inconvenient if you have little ones.

Banning finally has more eating options! I love Peruvian food and this one didn't disappoint! Great flavor and generous portions. The service was also great. Give them a try!

Cute small family restaurant. The family & kids are eager to provide service. The food looks all fresh. I ordered the pollo saltado & chicken plate. The food tastes great with a lot of flavor. We really enjoyed our dishes. The prices are reasonable for the portion of food you get. I would have like a few more pieces of chicken with the saltado. It would be amazing if they served a small bowl of soup with each plate. I wanted to try the soup but they were out of soup. We'll be back to eat here again.

This place is a must try!!! As soon as you step foot inside this place, the aroma hits your nose and captivated your taste buds.Brand new to the city of Banning, their food will transport you to their motherland. We were welcomed in and asked if we could place an order for takeout. We decided on Papa Rellena, Tallarin Verde, and Seco a la Norteña. Each dish bursts with flavors and has its own unique profile. We are so excited to go back and try more dishes.

Food looked amazing and you can see the chickens roasting in the oven in the kitchen. I ordered lomo saltado (beef) and my husband had the tallarin pollo a pesto pasta with chicken thigh and leg. He gave his a 8/10 and I would give mine a 7/10. Mine was lil on the salty side but the rice was flavorful and helped cut that. My son ordered the kids wing it was an entire wing deep fried just one. I don't think many kids would like that but he ate it and it looked good once bitten. (Update: after tasting the wing it was absolutely delicious whatever it was seasoned with was so good.) The cilantro sauce they have is bomb drinks I would say are too small but very tasty natural drinks 10/10

My husband ordered some food to go and it was delicious. I will definitely be back for the arroz con pollo. Excited to try other things on the menu.

The food is AMAZING. Sooo much flavor. All the meats we had were tender. Not one complaint. The place is smaller but perfect for having just opened. Everyone is super nice and helpful. I'm excited to come back and try more.

So good! Beyond excited to have a local Peruvian restaurant. Definitely recommend the ceviche and papa rellena. Not often you find Peruvian place with those items on the menu, a must try.
