Emelina's Peruvian - San Carlos

If you like Perivian food, this is a great local find. The place has lots of charm and a great staff. Give it a try!

The food was good but seemed too dry. The special donuts dessert was outstanding, but it would have been nice if we could have ordered it early in the meal because it took about 15 minutes to prepare.

Extremely friendly service. Lomo Saltado was terrific. Friend had Arroz con mariscos and loved it. Will return.

A big disappointment on Valentine 's Day. Too! Brightly lit....too loud and the majority of the staff spoke no English. The menu was extensive featuring seafood ..we ordered a mixed seafood stew dish that was tasteless and totally uninteresting. The cheviche appetizer was good ....but we ordered it mild and it was almost too hot to eat. A huge contrast from the main dish in it 's bland ordinariness. We will definitely not be back. Ugh.

We found this restaurant on yelp and decided to try something different. The food especially the ceviche was very tasty. The portions were decent size except for the beef appetizer. We were not sure what to expect. It turned out to be just two skewers of beef. The service was lacking. There appeared to be a language barrier between us and the waiter. We had to ask numberous times for water and our check. Even though the restaurant was not crowded it took a while for the food to come out. All in all it was an average dining experience. I'm not sure that I would go back, but glad I did try it out.
