FOGON Criollo: Reviews & Ratings
I just discovered an amazing Peruvian restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was top-notch. I can't wait to go back and try more of their menu. It's a real hidden gem. We would definitely recommend checking it out if you are looking for something different.
This was an amazing experience for me to try authentic Peruvian food. The food was cooked fresh and served beautifully. The service was great too! Loved the decor and the variety of choices in the menu. Will definitely come back to try more soon.
This is the simply the best Peruvian food in Town! This is amazingly delicious and the service is wonderful.
Very clean inside with attentive service. Was able to get the jalea without shrimp which otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to order due to my crustacean allergy. Aji sauces and sarza criolla had great flavor. Seco de cordero is available on Saturdays which was delicious. Will definitely be back to try more items.
PRETTY TASTY PERUVIAN FOOD I’ve only tried this spot once for takeaway, but absolutely love it. Maybe even more than the two spots in neighboring suburbs... Their sauces are phenomenal. I fancied the green and light colored salsas, but really loved the yellow sauce with the yucca. The chicken dinner is an exceptional value at 26 and you can pick 2 of 4 side items: beans, rice, salad, fries. They should re-think the yucca appetizer pricing. 4 small pieces at 15 is a bonafide RIP-OFF it was tasty and as mentioned the yellow sauce is rad, but it’s way over priced. I look forward to dining “in” there with my family and trying more dishes soon. UPDATE Dine in was pretty good. I didn’t take enough photos of the food. Service is spotty and less than friendly. We ordered the yucca appetizer and they didn’t serve it with the sauce or egg. Server threw some attitude when I asked (nicely) for the sauce that was missing. Hub prefers the other two nearby Peruvian spots to here. He says their yellow sauce lacks proper seasoning and portions are small for price. I disagree...
Excellent food! Will be coming back again. No pictures but the paella and the seafood soup was absolutely amazing. Heres a picture of the water cup
This place was amazing. Haven’t been able to find a good Peruvian spot since moving to the area. This place exceeded my expectations. You can see we started to eat our food before taking a photo because it was so good. 10/10 recommend!
Great little spot. Went for lunch and got the 1/4 chicken. Good flavor. Also had the passion fruit juice which was really good. Fast service. Only complaint was they didn't have quinoa which is very popular in Peru. Would definitively go back.
