Emelina's Peruvian Restaurant

Emelina?s is a humble, family-owned/operated, home style restaurant dedicated to our mother Emelina, who passed away far too young. We specialize in food found on the northern coast of Peru, which is mostly seafood, but offer many dishes for meat lovers. Portions are abundant, service is friendly, food cooked to perfection. Beef lovers can try a classic Lomo Saltado or the hearty Bisteck a lo Pobre. If you love fish, try succulent Pescado a lo Macho, garlicky Sudado de Pescado, vivacious Picante de Marisco or mouthwatering Mahi Mahi Ceviche. Our daily specials can get as exotic as baby goat leg (during weekends). We offer Peruvian beer, Inca Kola, fresh maracuya (passion fruit) juice, chicha morada (from purple maize) & other genuine Peruvian beverages. We also offer many unique desserts. Come to Emelina's for a quick midday meal or leisurely dinner & discover the distinct flavors of northern Peru. We hope to see you again and again and again.
