The Lomo saltado was amazing, perfectly seasoned, nice crunchy oven roasted potatoes and onions, and tender sauteed beef. Great choice if youre not sure what to get, and the staff is nice and helpful to figure out what you might be in the mood for.

This plan is 100 unreal... San Pedro Square Market does not deserve ceviche or Peruvian food of this caliber. Unbelievably elevated cuisine. This is very similar to what youd find in fine dining Peruvian. ...

As a food reviewer of Res Menu, I am thrilled to delve into the highlights of Jora Peruvian Food, particularly their standout dishes that leave a lasting impression on your palate:

  • Signature Ceviches: The heart and soul of Peruvian cuisine, their ceviches are a must-try. Opt for the Classic Ceviche featuring the day's fresh catch, or indulge in the Mixed Ceviche with shrimp and calamari, each bathing in a zesty tigers milk marinade. For a plant-based delight, the Vegan Ceviche crafted from grilled chimichurri tofu is a refreshing choice.

The Seafood Rice (Arroz con Mariscos) bursts with ocean essence, featuring calamari and shrimp, all enveloped in a comforting seafood sauce.
