Three Peruvian restaurants to compare in Phoenix
Short answer
Phoenix has a small but clearly differentiated selection. El Chullo covers Criollo dishes, ceviche, and cocktails; Los Andes offers a broad traditional menu; Mister Pio is almost entirely dedicated to Peruvian rotisserie chicken.
Three restaurants with different strengths
El Chullo Peruvian Restaurant & Bar presents the group’s most complete menu, ranging from anticuchos and Criollo dishes to ceviche, saltados, and cocktails. Plan the visit at its Melrose location, which is the current address. Google Maps showed 4.6/5 from 394 reviews when checked on September 16, 2026.
Los Andes Peruvian Cuisine offers breadth in an informal format. It is a useful choice when a group wants to combine saltados, chaufa, ceviche, seafood, and home-style dishes in one visit. Google Maps showed 4.4/5 from 436 reviews when checked on September 16, 2026.
Mister Pio specializes almost entirely in pollo a la brasa, marinated for 48 hours and charcoal roasted. It is the most precise choice when the goal is that dish rather than an extensive Peruvian menu. Google Maps showed 4.8/5 from 268 reviews when checked on September 16, 2026.
How to choose
El Chullo is the most complete starting point for a Peruvian dinner; Los Andes works when diners want seafood, saltados, and home-style dishes in an informal setting; Mister Pio is the specialist when rotisserie chicken is the main goal. Use El Chullo’s current North 7th Avenue address: its original North 7th Street location closed in 2026.
Before visiting
Google ratings and review counts are snapshots, not permanent scores. Menus, prices, hours, reservation policies, and locations can change. Confirm current details on the restaurant’s official website and Google Maps before traveling.
There is no universal winner: choose by specialty, atmosphere, location, and the type of meal you want, then recheck variable details before visiting.
