Wow! What an amazing restaurant! We loved the ceviche mixto, the frijole empanada (we want to come back and have an all-empanada meal!), the salmon sudado de pescado, & the steak lomo saltado. Not to mention the pisco sour and red sangria with chicha morada! All delicious, highly recommend

Tastes authentic and the portions are generous. The empanadas are a must try! I had the Aji de gallina and and my boyfriend had the Lomo saltado. Both plates were very flavorful !

First time in San Diego besides sight seeing places of course i had to find good South American food. Q’ero has a nice relaxing atmosphere, the peruvian food they have is served with care and passion. We had some delicious meals and the best part was the tres leches cake, which was the owners grandmother recipe. I could have gone for another piece but i also ordered some alfajores (not pictured) so i had to save space for a later treat. Thank you for everything!

I was happy to find an authentic place and different variety of foot on the main Encinitas street, we went on a Sunday evening around 3. No reservation. We enjoyed a table outside around a peruvian ceviche with their special sauce, beans and cheese Empanadas l took a Chicha drink to try. A delicious culinary experience and very faaast service money wise between $$ and $$$.

Wonderful food! Really friendly staff, comfortable street side patio with patio heaters. Interior restaurant is warm and inviting with a nice market of Peruvian items for sale. The meal brought me right back to a past trip to Peru! The chichamorada was delicious. We shared the arepas and the Q’Ero salad as appetitzers. The Q’Ero salad was a phenomenal combination of flavors and textures. I had the Lomo Saltado, which was fantastic, delicious, savory, great sauce. The others at the table enjoyed the Aji Gallina, the seafood special, and a combination of empanadas. Nana’s Tres Leches cake was a fantastic finish to a lovely meal!

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 food recommendations were fantastic and it was just enough to be able to still enjoy dessert. I hope not to wait another 12 years to return. My favorite is always the chicha morada and the tostones.
