The portions of the food was ridiculously small. Rotisserie chicken was dry and hard. Their ceviche tasted frozen not FRESH…… The causa wasn’t tasty. Over priced for the size of food they serve !!! I was very disappointed considering the reviews they had. Needless to say 100.00 spent & the food was terrible. I would never go back again… I rather drive an hour and get a decent plate of fresh savory REAL PERUVIAN FOOD !!!!!!!

Got caught in the rain while on a trip to Phili. This place was a god send with some of the best drinks ever. Highly recommend the pisco sour with passion fruit infusion and yucca with Peruvian cheese sauce (huancaina)

Great fresh food with generous portions. Our cocktails and appetizer came out quickly and as well. The atmosphere was really lovely and felt especially comfortable. Definitely coming back!

Very pleasant atmosphere, server was friendly and attentive. We ordered anticuchos and ceviche mixto as an appetizer. The ceviche mixto was spicy for me but not for my husband. I didn't try the anticuchos but he said they were good. He ordered tallarin saltado and I ordered the goat meat, both were good. The amount was deceiving, the plates weren't big and the portion looked small but it wasn't. As dessert we ordered flan which was also delicious. None of the food items disappointed, they were all delicious. The price was a bit on the upscale side but the food was well worth it. Two downsides, no parking of it's own, but we were fortunate to not have to pay for street parking because it is Easter Sunday and very little lighting (we had to use our cell phone light to see the bill). Oh, almost forgot...they have a unisex bathroom with 2 stalls. I walked out and saw a man washing his hands, kind of startled me..

Food was fantastic and our waitress was great! Great atmosphere also.

On President's Day we were walking around Philly to enjoy the day and do a bit of site seeing. We were looking for a place for lunch and many of the restaurants were permanently closed due to covid or were too busy. We just happened upon this place and it was great! Super clean, friendly staff and the food was really fresh. I must admit I am not familiar with Peruvian food but the ceviche they served was excellent! We both ordered a full lunch as well and the portions were large and reasonably priced. I would say the one draw back was they could have used more staff but considering the current staffing shortages everywhere, we did not mind waiting a bit.

Best Ceviche and Pisco Sour I’ve had outside of Peru!

New to the area and decided to try vista Peru. We went on a Friday afternoon and the chicken was “old” as in tasted reheated and was dry. My husband ordered the steak and it was unseasoned. I wouldn’t not recommend. The staff was pleasant but the food quite the opposite

AMAZING FOOD! We will definitely be back.

The Seco Norteno is amazing!!
