“ Beautifully fresh, healthy, delicious options here. Nice tables to eat at on-site. This lot could do with a few more carts to improve the atmosphere, but we hope Salt & Pepper sticks around. Service was friendly and fast. ”
“ I'm an international student from Peru and when I say that finding authentic Peruvian food in Portland was hard, I mean it. I found this place because I was missing home a lot and I wasn't disappointed at all! I loved the food and it tasted just like what I would order or cook back in Lima. I've been here multiple times and took my friends there, and now they love my country's food as well. Highly recommended :) ”
“ Super delicious peruvian food! I will definitely go back. We got the ceviche mixto and chaufa con mariscos. The portions are pretty good and the owner is super nice as well, he threw in some extra inca kolas for us. ”
“ It’s pretty rare I actually go and leave a review after eating somewhere, that being said a close friend of mine has been bugging me to try a dish called “lomo saltado” for a while now. Today I set out to do so and the only regret I had was not doing this sooner. The owner is very friendly the portions are generous and the flavor combination was out of this world. ”
“ 10/10 recommend!!! My boyfriend is Peruvian I'm American, we BOTH lived in Peru recently, for 6 months and moved back to the states not long ago so we know what good authentic Peruvian food should look and taste like. THIS FOOD IS AUTHENTIC, FULL OF FLAVOR, ARRIVED STEAMING HOT AND HAS THE FRESHEST INGREDIENTS....the meats are cooked to perfection, and the spices are the perfect balance....they have EVERYTHING you could want! they offer almost every single every famous Peruvian dish and they are all INCREDIBLE. There's not one dish they can't make perfect. The onion and cilantro mix that comes with most dishes is the most delicious thing I've ever tasted. WE WILL BE BACK. Oh also the owner was so kind he turned on the heaters for us and was very welcoming and accommodating and helpful with the menu. Very good owner amazing employees!! ”
“ We arrived @ PDX around 11pm. We found this place still open ! The food really hit the spot for my family with two college boys. Food was delicious and big portions! ”
“ I was nearby and had an hour to kill. Looked up food trucks near me and found this Peruvian spot. Reviews looked good so I tried it out. I got the slow cooked lamb dish. It was amazing. Super tender melt in your mouth meat. Next time I want to try the lomo saltado. Better yet I want to bring my whole family here so I can try all the other dishes. Owner is super kind and clearly takes pride in the quality of food. The lamb dish is cooked with bones for maximum flavor and nutrients I’m assuming. The meat fell right off the bone and was so tasty. Plus I love yuca and the plate came with a huge piece of yuca and great tasting beans. I’ll be back for sure ”
“ If you like authentic Peruvian cuisine, check this spot out. This is a food truck, and the meal presentation is better than a majority of restaurants. The food is really delicious, and they have a variety of beverages to choose from. There is seating available, and of course, you can get it to go. Definitely check this spot out, especially if you're looking for a great meal, bon appetite! ”
