Chef Yeral Caldas has been in San Francisco since 2005 and has worked tirelessly to realize his vision.
Caldas came up with Cholo Soy as the name for his first restaurant because the word "cholo" is q…
Great quality and customer service.
The food was packed nicely and still hot when it was delivered.
10/10 would order again from here
The in person ambiance is also very authentic. If you don't get the ceviche you're missing out!

Order from somewhere else. I'm Peruvian (leaving a review from my girlfriend's acct) and this food wouldn't even come close to the cheapest street food in Lima. First, the huancaina sauce had no flavor. It tasted rubbery and bland. Clearly no aji was used in its preparation, ironic considering the name of the restaurant. For the tallarines verdes (spaghetti pesto), the sauce (which isn't actually pesto by the way, it's supposed to be a spinach cream sauce made in a specific way, so a bit of a misnomer) was so watery it could've been water with green food coloring. The steak itself was fine, nothing special, but also definitely needed more seasoning. The yuca was also extremely bland and rubbery. The only passable thing was the ceviche, which even then had too much lime, and felt that the seafood being used wasn't fresh.
Overall, very disappointing representation of my culture. The most prominent issue is the lack of spice, nothing feels like it's been seasoned, or if it has it's just barely been done. The owners of this place should go back to Peru for a little while for a reminder of how our delicious food (which is often listed as the world's tastiest) is *supposed* to taste.

Causa and ceviche chamaco my favorites, the ocupa not that good. I'd pick another appetizer instead. The lamb is fantastic too!

Terrific food! Minds were blown. Aji Gallina was a hit as well as the fried fish!
