I haven’t seen too many places that serve Peruvian food and was excited to try Eli’s Peruvian Kitchen.
Cherry soda was sweet and had a nice cherry flavor.
Tallarin saltado had noodles with a mild flavor and a nice snap. Beef was plentiful and delicious. I added shrimp and it had a nice snap and fresh flavor. Loved the flavor of the fresh tomatoes. Among the best tallarin saltado dishes I’ve had.
Passion fruit juice was sweet and full of fresh fruit flavor.
Lomo Saltado featured fries with a tasty fried potato flavor. Rice was soft and had a mild flavor. Loved the brown sauce which gave the rice a delicious flavor. Beef was nice marinated and tender. Fresh tomatoes were tasty and went well with the beef. Great tasting lomo saltado!
3rd visit I tried the pollo a la brasa. Skin was crispy and full of flavors from the spices rubbed on. Chicken was tender and juicy. One of my favorite rotisserie chickens. Fries were crispy and I liked the fried potato flavor. Rice was moist and had a nice mild flavor.
Server was very nice and remembered me each subsequent visit. Excellent hospitality. This is my favorite spot for Peruvian food.
Kirk of mmm-yoso!!! has visited too.

Yes they have some great tasting food!
Eli’s is my favorite Peruvian right now Soo. The Seco is also excellent. Thanks for the link.
You are welcome! Eli’s is great.
I need more grilled chicken in my life – I’ll have to give this place a try!
The chicken is awesome. Where do you go for chicken?
I was going to the House of Cuban Flavor (formerly Los Pollos) but it’s gotten way too salty, and sometimes dry, where if I was just getting it grilled and not in a bowl it was hard to chew and swallow. So I’m looking to try some new places!
In the past I liked Costco chicken but the last few times the flavor didn’t taste that good.
