Reviews for Q'ero Restaurant in Encinitas, CA
I am Peruvian and this restaurant has a very bad Peruvian seasoning. I ate the worst lomo saltado I've ever eaten in my life,... seasoned in such a strange and DIFFERENT way. So if you expect to eat Peruvian, this is definitely the place you SHOULD NOT go.It was disappointing. In the same way, aji de gallina, chicha morada, all not very tasty :( Read more
Phenomenal meal with excellent service and a really cool backstory behind the restaurant. Could not rate the food higher, 10 out... of 10 on deliciousness and service. Our server Patrick was fantastic and the family that owns the restaurant is so kind. We aredefinitely going to be recommending this all of our friends! Read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. The food is amazing. The staff is great. Cool ambience. You have to go here. If you’re a... foodie, you’ll appreciate the effort put into their dishes. The ceviche is hands down some of the best I’ve ever had,empanadas are fresh and ridiculously good. I had the flank steak entree on a bed of chard and sweet potatoes. Couldn’t behappier. Make a reservation, the secret is out. Read more
I was able to get a table without a reservation, so that in itself is a win. It was early enough, but any later and it would... have been a wait. I know people that make reservations days in advance. That being said, the service was great. The foodrecommendations were fantastic and it was just enough to be able to still enjoy dessert. I hope not to wait another 12 years toreturn. My favorite is always the chicha morada and the tostones. Read more

I went for the first time and had the Vegetarian, cheese and onion, and bean & cheese empanadas. All were great, and very... different than I usually am use to. The sevice was great, the location is very small, prices are very good. The menu is alsovery small, I would have liked more options but the food that I did order was amazing, so can't complain. I am definitely goingto come back for more empanadas and ceviche. Read more
