“ El Chullo in Phoenix is an absolute gem for Peruvian cuisine! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The menu is packed with authentic flavors, and every dish is made with care and passion. The Lomo Saltado is a must-try--perfectly seasoned, tender beef stir-fried with onions, tomatoes, and fries, served with fluffy rice. The Ceviche de Pescado is fresh, zesty, and packed with bold flavors, making it one of the best in town. If you're feeling adventurous, their Anticuchos (grilled beef heart skewers) are a deliciously authentic treat. To top it off, their Pisco Sour is on point--smooth, tangy, and just the right balance of sweetness. Whether you're a longtime fan of Peruvian food or trying it for the first time, El Chullo delivers an unforgettable dining experience. Highly recommended! ”

“ Great great food Small restaurant but worth making the trek Got the following: Ceviche mixto: 5 stars, so good we ordered one, ate all of it, and then ordered another and ate all of that as well Aji de gallina: 4 stars, delicious and above average from what I have had at other Peruvian places Lomo saltado: 4 stars, same comments as the aji. Good portions for both! Tamales: 5 stars, huge portions, awesome sliced onions on the sides. The green sauce on the side was spicy but amazing! Great drinks! Will definitely come back!!! ”

“ A friend was in town for a medical visit. Always ready for new experiences, El Chullo caught their eye. The U.S. Government once put me on a cruise ship - eight months to Antarctica and back. It broke ice. Three stops in Peru. One for an hour or two, just a Valparaiso view. Walk through the door, a step into Artsy Peru. Fabric, graphic, photographic art, music and and lighting set the mood. Service, smiling, prompt, attentive Bars and food are married in Peru. Pisco is the national high proof beverage. Pisco Sour the National High Proof Drink. I ride No Proof these days, We ordered Chicha Morada - purple corn, pineapple, cinnamon and cloves. Subtle, slightly sweet, excellent beverage. Canchita is Sun dried fried corn. A small serving is the appetizer. Parched Corn in my brain. delicious. I brought a side home for the family. Like Corn Nuts? These are better - on my palate. Others have noted higher Salt is the forward flavor in many dishes. It does not ruin the complexity of the Peruvian dishes. It is present. Chupe is Shrimp Chowder. it is ver6 good. My dish was Aguadito - a cilantro based chicken soup, more like stew, loaded with chicken, potatoes, beans and other Peruvian goodness. We had a side of fried platoons- tender, slightly sweet plantain. If you adventure in dining, travel through food, appreciate multi-faceted long, social meals. Try El Chullo. ”

“ After a long day of work, this was exactly what I needed! It was my first time trying Peruvian food, and my coworker recommended the Lomo Saltado--I'm so glad I listened! The sauce was incredibly flavorful, and every element of the dish came together perfectly. If you're craving comfort food that's packed with vibrant flavors, the Lomo Saltado is a must-try here. Definitely a dish worth coming back for! ”

“ I had a wonderful dining experience at El Chullo Peruvian Restaurant. I started with a cocktail that had mango and cinnamon--although I can't remember the name, it was perfectly balanced and absolutely delicious. For the appetizer, we ordered the tostones, which were crispy on the outside and soft and slightly sweet on the inside. I paired them with a side of aji verde sauce, which was fresh, herby, creamy, and had just the right amount of spice. The combination was fantastic. For my main course, I chose the Frijoles con Seco a la Nortena. Described as a beef stew on the menu, it came out more like a savory beef gravy with tender, flavorful pieces of beef. The beans and rice were a perfect accompaniment. The service was attentive and professional, and though the 7th Street location is small, it's well worth arriving early to avoid a wait. Highly recommended! ”

“ I went with a party of 6. As a vegetarian I haven't eaten Peruvian for awhile because I hadn't realized there were so many options. The food was absolutely delicious, everyone loved everything they had. Do you know what a rarity that is these days with a party of 6 foodies? We visited with a Peruvian relative that ordered for the table & he agreed everything was as it should be. I couldn't agree more. I was very happy with everything i ordered which was the noodles with vegetables and the appetizer which had veggies in it and potato in a beautiful sauce. Sorry I forget what these dishes were called. We will definitely be returning with family and friends especially out of towners who like different types of cuisine. A lovely experience for sure. ”

“ El Chullo delivers authentic Peruvian flavors in a cozy setting. The Ceviche de Pescado was fresh and perfectly balanced, with just the right amount of citrus and spice. The Arroz con Mariscos was hearty, flavorful, and packed with seafood. The experience left me wanting to explore more of the menu, and I will definitely return. Not many Peruvian spots, so must check out ”

“ Such an amazing find! Saw this place on Instagram and do glad we tried it. There is a second location by the same name work a more modern fusion menu but I highly recommend coming for this menu instead. The restaurant is quite small but a decent amount of tables and a small bar area. There are like three parking spots but the tattoo parlor was closed in the evening so those spots are open too. There was one server that night but she was so kind and attentive. We definitely ordered more than we could eat but we wanted to try everything. The heart skewers were soooo good. I love heart and it can often be hard and overcooked but they were perfectly cooked and seasoned here. My favorite appetizers. We got the ceviche which was pretty standard as well as a potato stuff dish that was interesting. It had a citrus kick at the end that was unexpected. I got the chicken and it was very home style comforting. The sauce was a little thicker than I would have liked but honestly it tasted so good I didn't care. It's like a thicker chicken broth sauce. The seafood soup was also amazing. Great flavors, lots of seafood, and had the perfect amount of spicy level to it. It definitely warms you up. The entree portions are extremely generous and we easily had so many left overs. There is also happy hour for their pisco sours. We tried four of them including the passion fruit and old fashioned that were all amazing. They use real egg foam which I love. Overall I am definitely going back when I need a good home cooked meal to warm the soul. ”

“ My friends and I stopped by this restaurant on our way back from an event. We were tired and extremely hungry so we were ready to eat. Our meals were perfect! I ordered the mushroom saltado since I'm vegetarian. I had never had it with mushroom before and I absolutely loved the flavor combination. We had to sit at the bar since the tables were full, but it was a good experience. The waitresses were kind and helpful when we needed something. If I'm ever back in the area craving Peruvian food, I'll definitely come back to this spot. ”

“ My friends and I enjoyed another fantastic meal at El Chullo a couple weeks ago after an event downtown. This small family-owned joint is not to be overlooked. The service is quick and friendly, and the food is always fresh and delicious. This visit we started with the Anticuchos. For entrees the group got Lomo Saltado, Arroz con Pollo, and Jalea Mixta. Everything was delicious - not a single complaint. The inside of this location isn't very big so depending on how busy it is you may have a wait, but it's definitely worth it. There is additional parking behind the restaurant if all the spots out front are occupied. ”
