Don Lucho's

"Maple Leaf’s Peruvian restaurant serves up some excellent lomo saltado and has built not one, but two patios. There are 16 tables, which are covered and heated whenever it gets too brisk, plus some big screen TVs for diners to enjoy on game days, making this a low-key football season hangout. You can even book their patio for private parties." - Harry Cheadle

"For tasty Peruvian food like lomo saltado, empanadas, and rotisserie chicken sandwiches, head to Don Lucho’s in Maple Leaf. Their astroturf-carpeted patio has rain-proof canopies and space heaters to ensure your fried yucca stays hot and crunchy (which is very important)." - aimee rizzo

"Maple Leaf’s fast-casual Peruvian restaurant serves up some serious lomo saltado and has built not one, but two patios since the onset of the pandemic, with the intention of keeping them around all year long. There are 16 tables, which are covered and heated, plus some TVs for diners to enjoy on game days." - Jade Yamazaki Stewart, Harry Cheadle

"Sure, eating smoky Peruvian rotisserie chicken with a pile of crinkle fries chased with cold pisco sours is an activity that can be completed in the winter. But when you can do those things in a yard with sunshine, picnic tables, astroturf, and flower walls, it's best to exercise that option. Don Lucho's in Maple Leaf is a great place to post up for anything from a casual weeknight dinner to a huge group birthday lunch on a Saturday, and their food is excellent—from lomo saltado sandwiches and crunchy empanadas to ceviche and the aforementioned chicken. Whatever you do, order a lot of aji amarillo and passionfruit pie. " - Aimee Rizzo, Kayla Sager Riley
