Surprenant mais délicieux mélanges d'épices & de saveurs. On y retourne & on essaie son grand frère.
Seul petit reproche: bruyant, come presque partout.
Super recomendado cómo Peruana orgullosa que la gente en Canada y Del Mundo pueda disfrutar las delicias de la gastronomía Peruanas excelente atención ,muy buen ambiente muy propicio para compartir en pareja y con los amigos
There is reason we keep coming back! What can I say that I already haven't said on previous reviews, we were impressed with the pisco sours the bartender crafted for us, since my last visit to South America I have not attested a better pisco sour the one served to us. The taste was bar to none & couldn't help but enjoying a second round. The cuisine itself was to die for! The cones & anticuchos to start alongside the ceviche melted in your mouth & was topped off with a shot of ceviche juice & pisco was amazing. The Lomo did not disappoint again & we only wish we lived closer so we can experience this more often. Again & again the service is the best we have experienced since moving from Alberta 8 months ago. Thanks again Chifa & team, hope to see soon.
2ième visite pour ma conjointe & moi le 4 août dernier. Toujours agréable, le personnel attentionné & très accommodant. Les cocktails sont divins Le Chifadito est définitivement mon préféré.. L'ambiance du site & la musique nous font voyager. Les plats sont originaux , les présentation soignées & dans l'ère du temps mais les saveurs elles sont définitivement au rendez-vous, explosives parfois, suaves à d'autres occasions, équilibrées parfaitement tous le temps nos papilles en redemandaient. La carte des vins est limité mais le contenu est très intéressant, demandé conseil au personnel. Pour une belle sortie, réussie entres amies ou pour les amoureux tout simplement c'est au Chifa Mezcla Latina en trois mots ''Ambiance, saveurs & Bonheur !'' À la prochaine !
Good food but very bad service & they don't have take out box's
Waited long for the table.
Not a great bar
We wanted to take our food to go because we had a reservation at a different place.

Un restaurant exceptionnel pour la qualité de ses produits, une carte des vins fascinante & un pisco tout droit arrivée du Pérou . La qualité du service & l'e travail des chefs sont exceptionnels & dignes de mention ! Soirée mémorable
Went first with my son last week & then, with my wife. having worked in fine dining for nearly 30 years, I knew full well that Peruvian cuisine is the crown jewel of the Americas. "Peru's cuisine evolved through the fusion of indigenous Peruvian cultures, Spanish colonization, Arab/Moorish influences, the arrival of slaves from Africa, & Japanese & Chinese immigrants". With hundreds of varieties of peppers & a longstanding fish culture , it came as no surprise that everything was delicious. The capital Lima is particularly famous for chifa , a latino-cantonese style that infuses all the influences one can imagine . Both times , the octopus was simply ridiculously amazing, soft, grilled to perfection, sweet, spicy & long lasting tasty. The ceviche latino-chino had fresh halibut , tiger milk & cilantro, refreshingly divine. Wagyu tartare in a cone was subtle & celestial. Causa avocado & shrimp was a textural delight. main corses was (both times) the Lomo saltado (filet mignon in a decidedly Cantonese sauce , brimming with flavour), but the killer dish was the best duck I have ever had (having tried the French, Chinese & the Hungarian versions many times), succulent pieces in a Peking style with a tangy ceviche -like vinaigrette that was on the verge of ridiculous! Try the Pisco sour a cocktail you will remember. This will become a regular stop in our dining calendar. Even the staff remembered me from my previous visit. Absolute pleasure !
Beautiful place, be prepared for a diferent experience about chifa, if you already travel to peru & know what chifa irs here it's completely diferent in this restaurant so just be open to not find what you expect.
Nice place friendly staff! The food was ok
Was disappointed about their special rice
Was lacking spices (was blend) chaufa especial
Didn't see red onions anywhere or barely & no spicy sauce of any kind in sight....where's the Aji Verde🤷🏽
Jalapina drink was good
Combo chifero (brochette was ok)
Causa (mash potato all black looks like playdoo) squid ink I believe is used (not for me)
Siu Mai (dumpling) was good
Lomo Saltado was delicious ( basically filet Mignon in a sauce)
Kan lu wonton (fried wonton) anything fried is usually good
Bleury vision drink was basically an old fashion
169$ (67$ - 2 cocktails -1beer - 2 glass of wines) Before tax & tip - 102$ in food....basically
Peruvian food for anyone that believe salt & pepper are spices lol (don't think a true Peruvian would appreciate or anyone that like authentic food & I did experience Peruvian food before) but it's a nice place & since it's open late on weekend when tipsy it's better than hot dog poutine or McDonald
