Villa Peru

Have lived in Tucson my whole life and looking for a new restaurant to take my parents. Found this place online and was excited to try. Never had Peruvian cuisine but am so happy to say that this place exceeded my expectations!! From the cocktails to the appetizers to the entrees and desert, EVERYTHING was full of flavor and dishes were adequately portioned!! The service was 10/10 and the ambience was so fun and vibrant! Myself, my parents and boyfriend loved our experience here and will definitely be coming back! Thank you Villa Peru 😊

My wife took me here because she said they serve a great Pisco Sour and great Peruvian food. She was so right on both counts. She also said the recent renovation made what was already a nice place into a great place, with a partially open kitchen in the front, a quiet bar in the back, and live-edge wooden tables with turquoise inlay throughout the restaurant. The former small entry door to the right has been supplanted by a big, pivoting glass door that delivers you to the center of the front dining room, which — by the way — was hopping with a Galantine’s Day dinner of about 30 ladies dressed in pink and red, being serenaded by a strolling violin player (don’t expect this every night ☹️). We were seated at a great little table for two outside the glass-walled private room, where we could enjoy the action and see the stunning live-edge table in the private room, along with a very colorful wall painted to evoke the Andes. We started with a perfect Pisco Sour, then took advantage of half-priced wine by the bottle on Tuesday nights, opting for a tasty California meritage. Aji Amarillo is one of my favorite ingredients, which the chef used to great effect in the Aji de Galina, which perfectly balanced Aji and chicken flavors in a creamy sauce without too much Aji kick. We followed the Galina with the Ceviche Mixto Clasico, which gave us a taste of several different fish and shellfish marinated in a Leche de Tigre with just the right amount of roar. We ended with the roasted plantains with ice cream, which were delicious. The service was great, not only by our server but also by the owner, who checked on us from time to time. We will be back the next time we are in Tucson. YouTube’s Chef’s Apprentice

This place is simply amazing. JD was an awesome server. We will definitely be returning. Very Vegan friendly JD explained everything that could be made vegan. The food was so flavorful. The chef was very kind as well. I can’t recommend this place enough. Thank you for providing authentic Peruvian food.

Delicious food. Makes me miss south Florida. I highly recommend the lomo saltado. The food was beautifully presented! Perfect date night. They have a nice indoor and outdoor seating and you’re able to see the chefs prep the meals in an empty open kitchen. The leche de Tigre was delicious but wouldn’t get it again. Was mostly the juice some the ceviche. Just order the ceviche and call it a day. They have an amazing selection of wine!

3.5 Stars . Our Peruvian guests invited us to this restaurant. According to them there are two Peruvian restaurants in town and this one was less expensive but better. We arrived early on a Thursday night and experienced no wait . Waiter was friendly. One of us had a Pisco sour that was ok and very strong. Appetizer was a sample platter . Mahi Mahi Ceviche ( Delicious) , Ceviche de Pascado (good) Picarones ( meh) , Mussels ( I did not try but others liked) . Hubby ordered Lamshank and thought it was good , lomo saltado ( good). Others had bistecca steak with chimchurri . Overall food was good but just not for me . The atmosphere was lacking too. The food in my opinion was way overpriced . not my cup of tea unfortunately
