COYA Peruvian food

Found this place on Yelp and glad we stopped by. The food was delicious and delivered if you’re looking for classic lomo saltado. My wife got the combo aji de gallons and lomo saltado and loved it. She paired it with the sangria roja made with chicha morada. We finished it up with the lucuma which is fantastic, taste similar to caramel but with its own flavor. Give it a shot if your around, you won’t be disappointed.

What can I say? One of the best restaurants I've ever experienced. The ambiance was out of the world, it was full of detailed information about Peruvian culture, it had murals and a dance room. The waiter was polite and friendly and the owner was attentive and stopped by to make sure we were happy. I ordered Causa con Lomo, Ceviche, and surprisingly they got Carapulcra and for those who know what dish is this, I have to order it. Everything was delicious, the portions were good and fulfilling compared to other peruvian restaurants I tried in SLO. By the time I realized I didn't take pics at the beginning our dishes were empty and I couldn't take pictures. For dessert, I got ice cream of lucuma and it was a treat. I will definitely come back next time I visit SLO.

If you’re debating on trying this place, I want to assure you that what you’ll find at this place is pure authenticity, quality, and love. You could tell the food was made with love and very fresh ingredients. I left each plate clean. Along with the food, service and atmosphere, Catalina’s story is inspiring and she embodies the idea of not giving up and pursuing what you love. Thank you for the amazing experience COYA Peruvian Food.

I had to try Lomo Saltado and an Inca Kola to gauge and compare my experience and I was blown away by the flavors. My server was Alex and provided some recommendations to raise the spice level to my taste and gave me some rocoto with the warning that it was hot and I’m glad he said that as I was about to pour it over my rice. The music selection paired well with the atmosphere. Chef Catalina came over to ask how my food was and I told her that I would be back! Highly recommend this place if you are in for a treat!!!!

Restaurant is clean, with friendly service, and delicious food. Thank you to the server who patiently explained to us the menu, made some recommendation and was very attentive and friendly. The Chef/ Owner also came out to check on us after they delivered our order. I cannot claim that the food is authentic as I am not an expert on Peruvian food and I think I only had a handful of times that I had their food. But I can attest that the food that we had our all very flavorful, with layers of flavor and textures. Each dish we tried are different in flavor profile as the other. Portions and price are reasonable. We will definitely comeback.
