Las Cholitas - Plantation

This is one of our favorite Peruvian restaurants to go. The food is usually quite good. We have tried many of their soups and the taste of food is usually very consistent. We go to many Peruvian restaurants in Dade and Broward. Las Cholitas is one of our favorites. It's so hard to find someone in Florida who wants to work. Just remember when your server wakes up for you, TIP THEM WELL, so they don't stop!!! I'm so sick and tired of the turn. Sales are due to customers who don't have the 20% tip. The strangers are the WORST hackers. These people make the good servers. If a server could make a good $700-1000/wk, then you would have an excellent service every time you came in and the sales rate would be next to nothing. If you are $10 on a $100 meal just because you are a Engwad, do a service to us all that are cartridges of the restaurant.

I first discovered Peruvian cuisine at this restaurant four years ago, and I've returned every few months since. I even traveled to Peru during that time, and I can confidently say that the food at Las Cholitas is incredibly authentic. The atmosphere is lovely, and the restaurant is never too crowded. I could go on about all the delicious Peruvian dishes I recommend, but it would be quite a long list! The staff is friendly, and the food is exceptional. I'll definitely be back.

We anticipated a wait for our food, but it arrived surprisingly quickly. The taste was excellent; however, I ordered a dish with sweet potatoes, shrimp, and avocado, and I only received a single slice of avocado. In the photo, the dish was garnished with several slices. Additionally, there was an excessive amount of sauce. The chicken tamale contained just one piece of chicken and one olive—barely anything else. It was mostly filled with corn flour, when tamales are typically supposed to be more substantial. Overall, the food was delicious, but it seemed like some corners were cut.

The steak was juicy, and the overall quality of the Peruvian food was excellent. The ceviche was just perfect.
