Customer Reviews
The food is amazing! If you are new to Peruvian food, let me educate you and order the following: - do you like steak? Order lomo saltado or huancaina pasta with lomo - do you like seafood? Order ceviche or leche de Tigre and then they have the best seafood mix rice! -do you like chicken? Order chicken with rice or chicken fried rice Peruvian rice -do you want to try new things? Causa acevichada, pulpo al olivo! The chef is Peruvian and definitely know what he’s doing! Service needs to get better but THE FOOD IT IS WHERE IT NEEDS TO BE!
This is seafood ceviche. Very pretty presentation for takeout. I had eaten a sweet potato before leaving a review. For some reason, I feel better after I eat here. When I have an upset stomach and order this dish it neutralizes it. I think it's the lime juice. The food is always prepared quickly and the staff are friendly.
I really wanted to like Pao Pao Latin Cuisine, but unfortunately it didn’t meet expectations. We started with the causa, which was the best dish of the night. However, the mains — aji de gallina and tacu tacu — were disappointing in flavor. The bigger concern was the cleanliness. The tables and floors felt sticky, and the bathroom was even worse, which made the overall experience uncomfortable. Sadly, based on this visit, I wouldn’t recommend the restaurant.
Big mistake waiting this long to try this place. We ordered a mix of appetizers and entrées and honestly loved every bite. The flavors are unique and incredibly satisfying. The Peruvian fried rice is a must; creative, comforting, and delicious. Chorizo was great, beef stir fry was cooked perfectly, and the value is hard to beat. Stop driving past it and just go.
First time trying out this new restaurant in my city! The young man sat us very quickly and was extremely friendly and helpful with the menu. He answered all the questions we had and seemed genuinely happy that we were there. The young lady made our drinks which were very colorful and tasty. The menu was flavorful and vast with many different options for share or big platters. We love seeing new options come into the city. We will definitely be back and can’t wait to see this place flourish and grow. Can’t wait to see how the interior becomes decorated as well, we were admiring the black and green accents!
