Maemi Peruvian Cuisine

Our first time here was today and the food and service was excellent! The restaurant is small but clean and the staff are very friendly.
We had the Leche de Tigre (spicy) and delicious– very flavorful. My better half ordered the Jalea mixta and I ordered the Lomo Saltado. My beef was very tender and juicy– I dipped the rice and fries in be juice. My bf poured the juice left from the Leche de tigre on the Jalea and it was amazing! The food tasted fresh, well seasoned and the presentation was good too. This is def not our last time there!

Great place, authentic Peruvian food, very good food and service, give it a try you will love it

Delish!

Relatively reasonable prices, and average food; my meat was really dry. The service was fast and friendly so that was the standout portion of the experience.

Great food and wonderful service :) very nice and small restaurant, nice designs and photos of the food, with a television that hangs above the counter. I ordered the anticucho which I never had but it was very delicious and juicy. the pescado sudado was very soft and tender, and the rice is very aromatic. my family ordered some ceviche which was arranged in a very pleasing way and was also very tasty. our waiter was also very attentive and kind, and our food was made immediately and served hot! I will definitely recommend it to my friends!

Never had Peruvian until this place and I can honestly say it was delicious. I had the seco and it was amazing. The meat was so tender and extremely tasty. But the best part of the whole experience was our waitress Jenny. She was was one the nicest and most attentive servers I had in awhile. I cannot stress enough how fantastic she was. I would recommend this place for sure.

Food was mediocre. Owner stated that he caters to local residents when it comes up to main sporting events. What I mean is that my family and I went today to watch the Chile/​Peru game. He basically didn’t want our business.
Let me explain:
We were there at 12:00pm for lunch. At the end of our meal we asked the waitress if we could reserve a table because this was the only restaurant we could find that was playing the game. She told us they don’t do that but assured us we could come back and find a table, no problem. Cool we thought, everything was great up until then. Imagine our shock when we show up at around (6:30pm), because the game started at 7:30pm and the owner tells us that ALL the tables in the (small) restaurant were reserved. The nerve! We talked the owner and be said «we cater to local residents, and since you’re not local we can’t give you preference.» Of course we were frustrated. This made us not want to ever come back here and taught us one valuable lesson: this restaurant does not care about outsider business.
Locals…please go ahead and defend this restaurant. BUT tourists and outsiders… BEWARE.

This restaurant is wonderful. It is small but clean. We were seated right away. It wasn’t crowded which was nice because you didn’t have to talk over background noise. Our server was amazing. He was so friendly and took the time to explain the menu. It does help that there are photos of the most popular items along the wall. This was our first time eating Peruvian. We started with the fried yuca. The dipping sauce is the best. My husband had Lomo Saltado (beef with onions & tomato). I had Bisteck a lo Pobre (steak with fried egg & plantains). Each dish was presented well and the flavor and quality of the food was amazing. I highly reccomend this place. It was refreshingly different. I can’t wait to go back and try a new dish. Do your tastebuds a favor and have dinner or lunch! $ 10 lunch specials, drink included.

Stumbled upon this place by accident. Not much to look at, it’s in a strip mall and the décor is okay. But the service and food shines through. The waitress Dania was VERY helpful, explaining the menu (they have pictures of each dish on the wall.) She got us samples of Chicha Morada, a sweet drink made from purple corn. We were hooked and ordered a pitcher. The soup — Aguadito de pollo, was pretty good. It has some shredded chicken, rice, peas, carrots in a green blended cilantro sauce. We got the Fish Ceviche (swine fish in lime) that was excellent, and Jalea Mixta — a mixture of breaded fish and seafood that was good too. Prices were quite reasonable too, but the service and quality of food was excellent. If you enjoy good food at a hole in the wall, you can’t go wrong here. Highly recommend!

Not the best Peruvian food I have had. The food was ok and the prices were ok, nothing special. I do not recommend. If you want great Peruvian food go south to Clark and Beneva to Peruvian Grill. Now that is 5 stars.

Craving some Peruvian food and this hit the spot. Super friendly staff and very attentive. Not a big place, but cozy and clean. Our waiter was super helpful, even brought pictures to show the difference in plates. And if the kids don’t like to try new things do not worry they also serve chicken fingers with French fries.
My food was good, not the best I’ve had (I’m Peruvian) but a good effort.

I have to admit that I was concerned about the quality of this restaurant because I was judging the plaza it was in. It’s next to an adult video store and VCR repair shop, who still watches VHS?
Anyhow we walked in and we were the only patrons in the restaurant ««red flag»! However when we were approached by the very friendly gentlemen and given a grand tour of Peruvian dishes complete with pictures we were very comfortable.
So we ordered our food, me the steak with cilantro, the wife rice and beans. Everything was pretty awesome and flavorful. I only withhold one star because a tiny fly landed in one of my condiments, if there’s one fly there’s probably many more in the kitchen.
Bathroom wasn’t detail cleaned but the food was good enough to overcome my annoyance at these small items.
So go here for great food!!!

En este lugar el ceviche está muy rico y la atención está bien… la verdad lo recomiendo

Very personal service. Tiny place with completely authentic Peruvian feel. We started with the fried yuca. Many seafood entrees to choose from as well as a good selection of ceviches.
I was surprised not to find any other reviews. They have been open about a year and a half. If you want a real Peruvian experience. This is the place. Cheers.
