Aji Peruvian Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Really great food and service. Clean and very traditional taste. Definitely worth
The food here is so good. I had El Machu Picchu (a sandwich) and a pupusa. My wife enjoyed her Arroz Chaufa. Everything was delicious, and the Aji sauce is a spicy delicacy. The friendly man who took our order was a joy to talk with. Highly recommend!
I had to go back a second time for the delicious Peruvian tamales they were so flavorful and tasted much like home even though I’ve never been to Peru. I loved their house made green sauce with the empanadas and the chicken tamales! I’d highly recommend if you’re in the area visiting. The service is also so friendly and great the family that owns the business are kind!!
So much more than a meal, our visit here was an experience. The service was fantastic from start to finish, and every part of the meal was delicious. We discovered so many new things in this one meal, and it sparked so much excitement at finding a whole new type of cuisine. We'll definitely remember this place as our first exposure to a whole new world of food, and anytime we are remotely near Aji, we'll make the time to stop by.
What absolutely delicious food. No, it's not "Tex-Mex." It's nice, simple, down-home Peruvian cooking. Please keep in mind that it's more of a luncheonette atmosphere. But the lack of "fancy atmosphere" is far surpassed by the quality of food. Reasonable prices too. Oh, and you absolutely have to try their addictive creamy garlic-cilantro "Aji Sauce," which thankfully, you can purchase to use at home. On almost everything. Kid you not, it's that good.
Great food and service. took my granddaughter there. had the oxtail dish for lunch which was great. I think they called it repo encendido.
Delicious! First time here and first time trying Peruvian food. Adding to my list of must go restaurants! Recommending to everyone I know
We ordered take out and talk about authentic food!! WOW!! we were very pleased with everything we ordered from the beef heart to the tofu salad, the 3 meat combo was great also to try such a variety of popular meats... Friendly service and the food was hot and fresh... If you want to trying something crazy and new try the heart, it was cooked and seasoned absolutely perfect!!!
