Mi Peru’s mission is to deliver high-quality, authentic Peruvian food that tastes like it was made at home. Whether you’ve been to Peru or not, you’ll feel like you have when you taste our food. Mi Peru is the continuation of a project that started almost three decades ago in Peru. After being on hold for a few years, it was revived in North Carolina by the owners, who started out cooking at home and inviting friends over. Their friends encouraged them to share their passion for Peruvian food with a broader audience, and that’s how Mi Peru came to be. We bring the passion and knowledge of what embodies Peruvian cuisine, using Peruvian condiments, spices, and cooking techniques.
A menu featuring an array of traditional Peruvian dishes in a quick service space with bright decor. Based on 716 reviews, the restaurant has received a rating of 4.6 stars. Price $$

Would give 10 if I could. Simple but delicious authentic menu. And the prices- more than reasonable. I judge a lot of restaurants by the way they serve vegetables- Mi Peru gets an A+ for perfectly steamed veggies. This place is extremely clean. Manuel was an amazing server, and gave great recommendations. One thing that stood out is the fact that he said the owners took something off them menu because it would have required them to freeze it! Interested in trying something new? This is the place!

This is a very nice little restaurant. Food is amazing. We got rotisserie chicken($13) and a steak($17). Prices are fair. Quality is great. The sauce is the best!! We enjoyed our meal here.

I have been to this restaurant a few times. They used to have a Lomo Saltado with Tacu Tacu (rice and beans mix). This was the best option I think. In general, the food is tasty. Definitely the best Peruvian restaurant on the area with a variety of dishes. Service staff is very friendly and attentive and the atmosphere of the restaurant is very casual. This restaurant is definitely family friendly. If you are craving something different, this might just be the place.

my husband and had a date to Mi Peru. we have decided to try local ethnic cuisine and this was the first place on our list. it was excellent! I ordered the Peruvian chicken with fried yuca and fried plantains. My husband had the lomo Salgado served with rice. the dishes were rich in flavor and spices, many of which were new to us. the servings were large and we both had leftovers. the restaurant was crowded and busy. the cost of our meal with tip was $44.

Omg!! My new favorite Peruvian spot! This meal brought me back to life when I wasn’t feeling the best. The aji de gallina hit the spot! It felt so warm and homey to eat like your favorite comfort meal when you’re sad. The arroz chaufa de carne was delicious with the yellowish sauce (see photo for reference)! We ordered the choros a la chalaca fuete as well- my lunch date raved over those! Can’t forget to mention the chicha!! I could swim in a pool of their chicha, it’s so good!! My experience here was emotional and beautiful and I can’t wait to try what else they have! We shared each dish between two people and had enough for leftovers! We ate outside and brought our dog. The staff was friendly and kind! 10/10 highly recommend!!

This was a 1st here, in Durham, for me. Have had thus type of food b4. My wife, no. Chicken dishes are the best in any Peruvian restaurant, because that is what they are known for. Both of us had chicken dishes with rice. I liked the green sauce, my wife, not so much. This was a cozy place, in a strip mall. Both of us enjoyed the meal, as did the people with us. Recommend this place to try or treat as a usual place to eat. Great food, all around.

This was the Peruvian restaurant I was looking for. Simple and authentic restaurant decorations with real flavourful food. The reasonable priced lunch menu has several options. The ceviche is our favorite here. It does feel like an authentic place open to offer modifications and good quality. I marked it as one of my usual and go-to places. Just have to remember that they are not open between 3-5pm on weekdays!

Any of the rice dishes are absolutely phenomenal. My favorite is with the chicken. Ask them to spice it up for you like native Peruvians. You’re missing out if you have an American style.

Pure madness. Ordered hot dogs and fries and potatoes for my wife. The ordered was scheduled for curbside pickup at 6pm. It’s not 6:23 and they don’t know where my order is or have a name. A crowd would make sense but it being empty and the clerks clueless has me at a loss… would not recommend. Life’s to short to waste it on restaurants that lose your order. They mentioned they had curbside pickup…where! I had to go in.
