Mancora Peruvian Cuisine - Alhambra

The yuca fries are to die for, but the entree itself left something to be desired. Probably just because it's lower salt than usual. The atmosphere was very homey and felt like a homecooked meal, but wasn't super tasty. Writing this review from memory so can't really recall what was wrong but I think the meat was pretty bland.Food: 4/5

Very good and flavorful food. Service could have been better. It was just okay. But still giving good ratings as food was well liked by the entire group.Parking: It's a very small shared parking lot, but there is another lot in the back that looks like a wide alley.

Love that there is a solid Peruvian restaurant tucked away in Alhambra on Main between Atlantic and Garfield. The portions are a decent size and I got the spaghetti with chicken which I would order again. It has a tomato base sauce but it's not Italian just to confirm. My friend really enjoyed the appetizer plate that had roasted chicken, tomatoes and beef heart that he enjoyed. We also got the fried rice but that was a little dry and bland. Just a heads up, you can get most dishes with either beef chicken or shrimp despite not being mentioned on the menu.

Stopped by today to celebrate my nieces birthday as this is one of her favorite restaurants. Personally this was my first visit and I enjoyed it. The food was good and the service was excellent.There was only one person working the tables (it is a small restaurant) and he did a great job making sure we were taken care of.I can't recall all the dishes that everyone in my party ordered but I had the tallarines verdes con bistec which are green noodles with a Peruvian pesto sauce and a steak.My wife ordered the lomo saltado which is stir fry marinated strips of beef steak with onions, tomatoes, french fries and a side of white rice.For drinks the table ordered Inca Cola.I'll have to come back try some more dishes.

Been coming here for a bit. Cute lil restaurant tucked in a small lot. Great professional service, always kind. The ceviche is unique, savory and tasty. Don't be fooled by the title, the bistec a lo pobre; it's not poor in taste or quantity. Must try it.
