Established in 2016 in the heart of the Central Valley in Fresno, by Chef Mauricio Arizola and his wife Lilian Arizola. Señor Ají was creatively designed from scratch, where ‘señor’ means mister and ‘Ají’ (pronounced “ah-hee”) a reference to the Peruvian yellow pepper “ají amarillo” (which technically is mislabeled because it’s orange), this chili in particular is the base of many Peruvian dishes. The Arizola’s had long imagined opening Señor Ají. Mauricio as a petroleum engineer loves to cook, having grown up with his mom’s home cooking, and Lilian had studied hospitality management. Chef Mauricio loves to cook and they received a lot of complements from their friends to open a restaurant every time when they tried his dishes.

Amazing true Peruvian food. Delicious and so good! The ceviche and fried fish with shrimp and rice were both 10/10! It’s a must try if you’re in Fresno or even in a near by city.

Peruvian food is my favorite South American cuisine. This place hands down is the best Peruvian in Fresno. I have been trying different dishes every time I stop here and so far they haven’t disappointed. Small place but on point. Had Lomo de Pescado, and empanadas appetizer, noodles with chicken, and margaritas. Try to go there on their happy hour 5-7 pm weekdays.

First time with Peruvian food and it was super tasty. Everything at the table was good, all appetizers. Gringos like me who want to try something new will love this place.

Not good. Ordered chicken plate. Came out like Asian cuisine. Too salty. Chicken overcooked. Small portion rice. Rice hard and old. Not worth $24

Wow! this is a must! Am back in Fresno, Ca. I found this restaurant in north side of town. It’s first class, the unique creamy sauces, mellow flavors, the freshness, and presentation, all in one plate. I love it! It is Delicious! You will not be disappointed, I will definitely be back to try another dish. Small, but such a relaxing atmosphere. Outstanding service, friendly staff, it’s a winner! Goes well with a cold beer

I loved this little taste of Peruvian cuisine. Most dishes have flavorful creamy sauces and the fried food tastes so fresh. No burnt oil flavors here, just crispy light taste. Service could be more cheerful, but they are busy cooking up great food! Don’t forget to ask for more napkins and serving spoons to share all the entrees. They have you extra plates without asking. Their food is very shareable. Awesome Sangria too!

The food was an explosion of flavors and authentic to the rich Peruvian cuisine. The staff was very friendly and the place was beautifully decorated and simple. The place was absolutely worth the drive. I highly recommend!

This place is awesome! Each entree that we ordered had different flavors, all were delightful.The Aji de Gallina tasted just like what I remember from Peru, the octopus was stellar, and the Lomo saltado was excellent. Aside from the Yucca fries that didn’t come properly cooked (still frozen in the middle) the meal was superb. In their defense, when we pointed out the fries, they brought us a new order. Yay for good customer service! BTW I probably wouldn’t order the yucca fries again anyway. We will definitely go back to check out all the other things on the menu.
