Andina

“This is hands-down one of the best Peruvian restaurants in the Western US. The Vibe & Aesthetic The moment you walk in, you are greeted by a beautiful, vibrant atmosphere. The decor is stunning, featuring tons of lush, plants and gorgeous Peruvian-style design elements. It has an amazing vibe and is incredibly photogenic—definitely a spot where you'll want to take a few pictures! The Food The dishes are absolutely stellar. Some plates carry a bit of heat, but the spice is perfectly balanced, pleasant, and incredibly delicious. Everything we tried was phenomenal, but here are the absolute must-orders: - Empanada de Carne: Perfectly baked with a savory, rich filling. - Lamb Sausage Pasta: Unique, hearty, and packed with incredible depth of flavor. - Steamed Mussels with Tomato Broth: One of my absolute favorite dishes here! The broth is savory, rich, and perfectly complements the fresh mussels. - Beef Heart (Anticuchos): Masterfully tender and seasoned to perfection. - Mango Ceviche: Refreshing, bright, and beautifully fresh. - Purple Corn Drink: You have to try this! It’s incredibly special, unique, and tastes amazing. Service & Verdict The service is up to standard. They are attentive without being overbearing. Highly, strongly recommend this gem! We had a fantastic time and will absolutely be visiting again soon to try the rest of the menu.”

“The atmosphere is lovely when you walk in. Our waiter Gabriel was so sweet and attentive. We tried multiple dishes including the Empanada de carne. All of our dishes were very good, but the empanada was my personal favorite. I do suggest asking what dishes complement each other. We chose two acidic dishes, and should have chose something else to balance it out better (for those of you like me who have acid reflux haha).”

“Three of us went for brunch this past Saturday. We had not been there before, and were blown away by the food, drinks, ambiance, and service. What a spectacular venue. My Humita Y Salchicha was a hit and came in first place among our three selections. The French Toast was fantastic, but a bit too sweet for me, so I was glad I hadn't ordered it. The Sanguche de asado de res was okay, but it wasn't what I would want for breakfast (or lunch). We all agreed that the Sacsayhuaman cocktail was AMAZING! We want to go back for dinner soon.”

“Acoustics aren'tgreat, it'svery loud. Our server was excellent. I had the trout which was a very small serving. My husband had the salmon entree and loved it. The small plates were great, especially the ceviche (sp?) and a bean dish with toasted bread. Yum!!”

“Dined at Andina for the first time last week and had a great experience. The food was great. We had a variety of small plates : empanadas de carne, whipped peruano beans, Peruvian scalloped potatoes, Pork Ribs & Anticucho de Corazon. While all the plates were great they didn’t stand out for me, considering the pricing & small portions on the of the plates. Our favorites were the Scalloped Potatoes & Pork Ribs. Our drinks on the other hand were delicious and I will be thinking about the Sacsayhuaman for a long time. Perfect mix of spicy & fruity. Service was perfect! Overall, I enjoyed but felt like the price was higher than what I got.”
