Map
Orlando's Michelin-starred Peruvian spot on Curry Ford. It's a splurge, but the tasting menu is the best meal I've had in the city - book well ahead.
Papa Llama
Family-owned and the pollo a la brasa is the real deal - juicy, smoky, and a steal for what you get. Handy locations near I-Drive and the Florida Mall.
Memories of Peru
The ceviche mixto is the move here - bright leche de tigre with plenty of heat. Order the chicharron de calamar for the table too.
Ceviche House
Modern take on a cevicheria - the tiradito and the causa are plated beautifully. Good pick when you want Peruvian but with a date-night feel.
Aji Ceviche Bar Orlando
Latin comfort food more than strictly Peruvian, but the pollo a la brasa with yuca fries is a weeknight staple for us in Kissimmee. Portions are huge and it is cheap.
La Granja Kissimmee
Charcoal-roasted chicken with the green aji sauce that I end up putting on everything. Casual spot, quick service, easy family dinner.
Pio Pio Restaurant
The cookbook that finally got me making lomo saltado right at home. Great photos and the stories behind each dish are worth the read.
The Fire of Peru: Recipes and Stories
The backbone of Peruvian cooking - fruity heat, not just spice. One jar of the paste covers huancaina sauce, causa, and aji de gallina.
Aji Amarillo
Peru in a can - bubblegum-sweet and bright yellow. My kids think it is hilarious, and it is the correct drink with pollo a la brasa.
Inca Kola Golden Carbonated Beverage Soda
Toast these in oil with salt and you have the crunchy corn nuts that come free with every ceviche. Way better than the bagged version.
Incas Food Maiz Cancha Chulpe Dried Corn
Homemade ceviche needs a lot of fresh lime juice, and squeezing it by hand gets old fast. This saves my wrists and gets every drop.
Electric Citrus Juicer
For anticucho night on the grill - the flat blades keep the beef heart from spinning so you get an even char, just like the street carts.
All Stainless Steel Skewers
Hunters Creek location is our go-to when we want a real sit-down Peruvian dinner without driving downtown. Get the lomo saltado and the jalea for the table.
El Inka Grill
Purple corn drink simmered with pineapple and cinnamon - sweet, spiced, and weirdly refreshing in Florida heat. The mix makes it a ten-minute job.
Chicha Morada
Panca chile marinade in a jar - shortcut to restaurant-style anticuchos on the grill. Also great on chicken thighs if beef heart is a stretch.
Peruvian Anticucho Sauce
Second El Inka location on Restaurant Row, bigger and better for groups. Same kitchen, easier parking if you are coming from I-Drive.
