Runas Peruvian Cuisine

Our 1st time visiting was a Sunday afternoon. Super cute upon entry. Very picturesque! Ample easy parking. Cool male server w/dope mustache. Our snapper & fried seafood tower was deelish😋 Ambience awesome! service was attentive. Our bill was $150 but i guess, that's the going rate here in South Fla. I would like to attend when theres live music.

Last Saturday, we celebrated our friends' wedding anniversary. The nostalgic ambiance took us through various decades. The drinks were perfectly balanced with alcohol, and the CHAUFA RUNAS, was amazing. The egg was perfectly cooked, and the seafood was well-seasoned. The juicy tenderloin was also excellent. Diego, our attentive server, ensured a great experience. Overall, the food was very delicious, and, naturally, I sampled from our table.😁

I Love this restaurant! The building has an amazing history but the food there is very delicious 😋 one of the best Peruvian food! In all Florida USA 🇺🇸 the ceviche muy rico! Los picarones y anticucho wonderful! Súper jugosos… pero el seco de res one of the best food 🥘 that I preferred! you have all this and most important the very nice people working there! The manager Angel! The waitress Jessica! Bryan! His buddy! Hector! Panita! Bartender Jose! And all the amazing staff at the kitchen thank you! They always treated me like a family! They even have shows every weekend! Singers! Karaoke and more!! 👏🏻 👏🏻 aplauso

Visited on Friday evening where they had live music. Music was a little loud but bearable. A bit dark inside but present an ambiance for romantic dinners. We did not care for the service as our waitress was slow and did not come back to offer to refill water or another drink. May go back again but highly unlikely. It was not for us but it may be for you. Best of luck on your trip there.

Quality of food is excellent. I ordered Rissotto Gratinado . Very good and yummy . Also We ordered Chaufa Runas. 5 stars. Jessica was our waitress. Very sweet and nice. Nice ambiance with background music . Sour pisco is recommended.

This restaurant is a gem with its charming historical building and antique bar, creating a unique ambiance. Great Peruvian food, crafted with fresh ingredients (ceviche was amazing) The personal touch of the chef coming to the table enhances the overall dining experience, making it memorable.

I tried the Ceviche Runas and Chaufa Runas. The ceviche was tasty and it didn't taste like a classic ceviche, so it took me a couple tastes to get used to. The Chaufa Runas was pretty average, the sauce was a little salty, the meat was tough, and the rice itself was a little bland. The portion was good, but I don't think I would order that again. They had live music the Friday evening I went, and it really set the mood. The restaurant wasn't too busy so we didn't have to wait to be seated.

One of my favorites! Always fresh. Ceviche is packed with fish. I like it spicy and they never disappoint. Service is excellent and always helpful. Have a drink at the bar… rumor has it, it was a gift from Al Capone!

The service is super friendly and they are so nice. Atmosphere is eclectic and cool. Food is very good too. Drinks perfect. They had someone singing and he was also very good. Had a fun time and enjoyed our dining experience.

So glad my colleague recommended this Peruvian seafood spot! Very cool space, so many great sounding menu selections - it's really hard to pick what to order which is always a good thing! Our server was very nice, and told his favorites - Pescado a lo Macho, Jalea Mixta, Pargo Entero, Arroz con Mariscos, Grilled Octopus, and Ceviche Sampler. ARROZ CON MARISCOS - $21 Seafood paella style rice w/ mussels, shrimp, calamari, and squid. Topped w/ Criolla sauce. The Peruvian white corn was new to me. Loved the flavor of this dish a lot. The shrimp was so good. Enough for 2 people sharing. PARGO ENTERO - $38 Fresh whole fried snapper w/ 2 sides - we picked the mixed salad & fried yuca. Both were yummy. Surprised the snapper doesn't comes w/ any sauce so we asked for a spicy sauce and they brought this nice spicy aioli. Fish was huge and my dad really enjoyed it. Just watch out for the bones! We would definitely come back to try the other dishes next time we're visiting Ft. Lauderdale/Hollywood. FYI you'll want do look for street parking.

Anytime we are in South Florida, Peruvian food is always a must have. We typically frequent the same two places but for some reason, this trip we decided to try Runas instead. The reviews from other patrons drew us in. When we got there, the entrance was slightly confusing. But once we figured out which door to go in, we were greeted and sat quickly. The vibe of the dining room is eclectic and moody. The pisco sour was well crafted. I ordered the Risotto Huancaina con Loma Saltdao and it was INCREDIBLE. The risotto was perfectly done and super cheesy, the Loma Saltdao was tender and flavorful and they were generous with the gravy. This trip was mid December and we've talked about our meals no less than five times since being home. It's that good. Definitely will be back!!!

All things considered, this place makes some of the BEST Lomo Saltado I've had! The skirt steak was cooked as ordered and had a nice sear. The vegetables were stir fried goodness, but occasionally aren't cooked enough. Raw onions will overpower The flavor and lessen the experience. The broth was hearty with plenty of flavor. I would have appreciated a few more fries to really enjoy all of the broth, but they were crispy and the portion was filling. The interior decorating felt pretty over the top. The Peruvian restaurants I've been to before, have not been anything quite like this. The first impression made me question whether we'd made a good choice in dining there? The food removed any doubts, as it was very satisfying. Service is good, sometimes great so I guess it depends on the day. The Passion fruit Pisco sour was frothy and delicious, as well, and made for a refreshing after dinner delight!

Seems like the place closed permanently as of two weeks ago according to next door business owner. Unfortunate. They should put up a sign on the door.

What a gem! Runas is an excellent and authentic Peruvian restaurant with ingredients so fresh you feel that they were fished just for you. Proprietor Tony D extends the red carpet to his guests. We started with el pulpo. Cooked to perfection with excellent presentation. I went with a classic Pisco Sour, a house specialty, and it was amazing. So good I had another one. We then had the anticuchos: skewered veal hearts grilled. Intimidating but delicious. For the entree we had the risotto huancaina on a bed of risotto. The meat was so tender it fell of the bone and melted in your mouth. We shared all dishes as if they were tapas. The tastes exploded in your mouth as you downed this cuisine inspired by so many cultures, Indigenous, European and Asian. Service was exquisite. Akin to the best Brickell Latin American restaurants. The restaurant is located inside the Tavern, a historic bar that saw the likes of Hemingway and Al Capone. The building was also Hollywood's first police station and is filed with antiques and memorabilia.

The good: The food itself is great! The bad: Service was so slow, and our server was inattentive. I asked for another beer and he seemed to understand but then he never brought it. By the time he came back around, I was already done with my food and didn't even want the beer anymore, so I didn't mention it nor did he charge me. I also went without anything to drink for a while before he came around to fill waters. Drink menu is limited unless you specifically want a Peruvian drink. No local beers. The vibe of the place is weird too. It can't decide what it wants to be. It's a cool concept, but they were playing club music but also had the lights all the way up? The whole vibe is closer to a Rainforest Cafe than an upscale restaurant. Conclusion: I don't think I've ever had an experience before where the food is great but everything else is a let down.

Horrible...We arrived at 7pm on Monday. Yelp said hours were until 10pm. Wasted money on an Uber. We arrived, the place was closed and dark. The hours posted agree til 10pm, and the sign said open. What makes restaurants feel they can change hours on a whim. I deserve a refund for my Uber. Even if Runas was ever open, I would not return. They have no respect for patrons. Waste of time, don't go.

I came here with my cousin and 2 friends on a Friday night with no reservation. The place was packed but we were able to be seated. I ordered a caipirinha (Brazilian rum, sugar, lime) the waitress asked me if I wanted the one on the menu and I told her what was in it. She brings me back a blue drink which clearly was not it and I told her that. Her manager who was walking buy said they don't have Brazilian rum but this was a blueberry (could've been black berry) caipriski (vodka, sugar, lime). I told him she didn't say they didn't have it but he said to please try it. I tried it and it was good but not what I wanted but I kept it anyways. The food I ordered was lomo saltado with the fries to be plated separately so they don't get soft. The food was hot, and flavorful. I of course would've liked more steak but the portion was fair for the establishment. 3 of the 4 dishes came out quickly and after 10 minutes we asked about the 4 the dish, turns out the waitress didn't put the order in. Once she did the food came in under 5 min. They had a young man singing live and he brought a young lady up that also sang 2 songs. Both were extremely good. On our way out a gentleman that I think was an owner was telling up about the history of the building and the pictures and decor. I would definitely come back for a date night or for drinks, overall great experience. The lomo saltado and 1 drink was about $45.

Flew into Fort Lauderdale Saturday night and couldn't pass up another dinner at Runas, since I was so close. They did not disappoint, it's still some of the best Peruvian food around. We started with Ceviche Runas. Fresh mussels, scallops, shrimp, calamari and fish. Asked for it spicy and it did not disappoint. It was so fresh and tasty. One of the best I've had in a long time. Our waiter suggested the Risotto Di Mare and it was an excellent choice. Perfectly cooked risotto with a nice mix of squid, shrimp, and mussels cooked in a lobster sauce. If you like shellfish, I highly recommend this. Nice ambiance and great service. If you're looking for a great place in Hollywood, here it is.

Occasions: date night I randomly chose this charming Peruvian spot because It has been on my list to try for the longest time so I thought date night would've been perfect. We walked in and we were greeted immediately and the staff seemed really nice. It took a while for us to get a waiter and we were also confused on who was our waiter What are the end I realize they kind of work as a team. Food: appetizer we had the ceviche and it was really delicious, the potato complimented the fish really well and the fish wasn't as tangy as some other places because of the lemon /lime that they used. I then ordered the risotto with the salmon and the risotto was quite frankly perfect. Till this day I still think about it and it has been seven days lol. The salmon had a nice glaze to it and the vegetables it came with added more impactful flavors than I realize so it was quite a treat eating both the risotto and the salmon together. The saltado wasn't a favorite of mine because it had a slight bitter aftertaste and it kind of ruined the meal for me. It's not something I would recommend to be honest. I would definitely come back here simply for the ceviche as well as the risotto. I was also told that they have a live band on some nights which I can see why they are so popular given the atmosphere that they provide. I will definitely come back.

Doesn't look like much from the exterior but once you open the doors there was a whole lot going on! My eyes wandered around looking at all the mixed decor that absolutely did not match what so ever but some how it perfectly all came together. I loved the antique vintage piano with the Tiffany stained glass above it. The vibe was cool and casual the music was good and the food was even better. The service was great and our waitress was super friendly and kind. Definitely will be back! What we ordered- Pisco 10/10 - Typical Peruvian drink with Passion fruit- delicious! Ceviche Mixto 10/10- Wow!! Just perfect! I could've eaten another bowl of this yumminess! Lomo Saltado 10/10 - Listen I've had my fair share of this dish from several Peruvian restaurants but this one by far is one of the best ones I have had! The filet mignon was super tender and juicy. The soy sauce was not overbearing or salty. The whole combination of the seafood with the steak was mouthwatering! Literally. Jalea Mixta- 8/10- Definitely order this as an appetizer! The dipping sauce was good - I asked for limes and it took it to another level of deliciousness Dessert- 9/10 Very different and unique - the flavors were absolutely delicious!

Authentic Peruvian food in an eclectic space that really satisfies. While visiting the area and given the opportunity to have an adults only meal, friends recommended this restaurant and it outperformed all expectations . The quality of the ceviche and soup was incredible and the portions were fair for the prices. We shared many plates among our group and all the while, Andrea, our server was there to help and explain the menu and clear a plate or offer suggestions. For the huge abundance of sauces, I recommend strongly that they either offer plates that are partitioned or even more strongly- some Peruvian bread to sop up all of the wonderful flavors we left on the plate. As an Italian by birth, I can truly appreciate the special tool that bread is at clearing plates of the wonderful flavors otherwise left behind. Also, clothe napkins would match the decor and the quality of the food better. Excellent food and great service.

I saw great reviews for this Peruvian restaurant, and was eager for hubby and I to dine here while in town. I was particularly interested in the ceviche and grilled octopus. We arrived for late dinner on a Saturday night but were quickly seated. We were given the option for dining room vs taverna area seating where they have the bar and live music on Friday and Saturday nights. We opted for the dining room, as we were able to still hear them live music from this area. I appreciated that they have tonnes of seafood options on the menu. Based on reviews we ordered the pulpo antechucos which did not disappoint. Sous vide octopus was grilled and brushed with a delicious sauce. It came with fried potatoes and corn. The ceviche was very fresh and had lots of fish, shrimp, calamari in it. I was sadly less enthusiastic with the grilled mahi mahi which was unforgivably overcooked. I ate around the fish and enjoyed the rice and pieces of octopus and red pepper that accompanied the dish. For dessert we enjoyed a large alfajor, which was tender and crumbly like shortbread and filled with a subtly sweet dulce de leche filling. Highly recommend this restaurant if you're looking for delicious seafood in a lively atmosphere.

This place is amazing. We ordered the three dish entree special for $36. We selected lomita saltado, chaufa, and aji de gallina. Everything was absolutely delicious. The rice was cooked perfect, it had a little bit of crispiness to it, which was good. The lomo Saltado was absolutely mouth watering with a perfect gravy slathered over fries. And the aji de gallina was potato and shredded chicken in a yellow pepper sauce that is to die for. The service was prompt and friendly and the atmosphere was very nice. We will definitely be going back and you should try this place if you've never been there.

I've been curious about Runas Peruvian cuisine from some time, so when I got a lunch invitation to try is out I jumped right in. The restaurant have two sitting areas and when we arrived it was completely empty so we were promptly seated. The waiter brought us our drinks and the delicious canchitas (Peruvian popcorn) We wanted to order a few items like a causa with shrimp and some sushi but our waiter told us they run out of it, so we only ordered two classic ceviches, Conchitas a la Parmesana and a shrimp chupe soup. The best we had was the ceviche by far! It was really really good and actually quite big for an appetizer. The white fish was very fresh and super flavorful, although my friend requested the spicy version but he said it was lacking the spice for him. The conchitas were supposed to scallops but they were so tiny you felt you were eating a béchamel sauce with Parmesan on top with a scallop hint! The chupe was big enough to share but it was a little bit heavy for my taste. Normally chupe is a soup made with shrimp broth and evaporated milk but this one felt as it was made instead with heavy cream. It wasn't bad but not something I would order again. Overall it wasn't a bad meal but it was not good enough to make me want it to come back.

Everything amazing! Drinks, food, service, everything in this restaurant is great, including desserts!

Tried this place out because of the reviews. Unfortunately the food was terrible. Coming in the ambience is dark and the it smells dusty and moldy. The food was tasteless. The service was really good everyone was very pleasant and attentive but the food was not it.

An absolute hidden gem. My hairdresser at Wapas named TanTan recommended this and spoke highly of it and he was not lying. The waiter and owner was very accommodating and the ambiance was chill and the food was fresh and tasty. I had the scallop with Parmesan as a starter and it was well cooked and the sauce was set off with the lime. The short rib was cooked to perfection and it was bursting with flavor. Their mojito was excellent. A must try in Hollywood!!

Amazing! One of the best ceviches I ever had. Decided to try the ceviche 3 ajíes for the first time and it was soooo good. Martin took care of us and provided excellent service. Thank you, we'll be back!

This business was closed when we got there and there is no notification that it closed, Sad because the food was excellent

Our 1st time visiting. Easy free parking. Ambience was amazing upon entry. Very picturesque! Service was attentive. We were the 1st to enter on a Sunday afternoon. pics below King Snapper, Seafood Sensation. calamari, mussels, fish, shrimp & prawns. My love enjoyed his lunch & I enjoyed the ambience of music & pictures. Bill was $150 for us 2z

If there was six stars, Runas would definitely earn them! This is by far the best Peruvian restaurant I've been to! I'd been craving Peruvian cuisine for a while, With the pandemic and restrictions in place I had not been able to enjoy this delicious cuisine for a very long time, so we took the chance. We were in the area, pulled up to Yelp app and saw this restaurant has a lot of positive feedback. I was a little bit skeptical at first because I saw it was in downtown Hollywood, but when we got there I realized it is not quite on the main Avenue but off of it on a side street. We parked right across the street and saw the restaurant was virtually empty. At the time there was only one couple dining in. We were seated right away. Our waitress Jenny was super nice and very attentive. She went over the menu and over the specials and answered a lot of our questions. All staff were wearing masks and there was sanitizer for guest to use. We ordered Pisco sour, which was delicious. We also ordered grilled octopus. I was so impressed, the tentacles were huge and the flavor was amazing it was cooked to perfection. Hands-down the best grilled octopus I have ever had. For my entree I had Lomo Saltado with Tacu Tacu, Which is Peruvian's version of refried beans it was amazing. My sister also had the Lomo Saltado a lo Pobre, which is the usual style with rice and french fries and a fried egg. My husband had a whole fried fish with calamari, shrimp, ceviche, mussels and rice. it was some sort of seafood delight and it looked incredible. Presentation was also very nice. Everything on point. Our waitress was super attentive, she kept coming by to ask if we needed anything, we were made to feel very welcomed. I had a slight problem with my entree when I first got it, and they took it back right away and brought me another one. They take customer service very seriously here. Dessert was amazing and on the house. I am not exactly sure why, but it was much appreciated and enjoyed. As I sit here writing this review, I cannot get that octopus out of my head!! Can't wait to have it again and try another amazing dish. This is going to be my go to Peruvian restaurant. it is a bit far for me but the drive is worth it. Excellent place!Prices are also very reasonable if you take into account the presentation, quality, and service. I mean it when I say it's the whole package. This is what restaurants should be all about.

I'm not sure if this restaurant has new owners or management because food and hospitality were nothing as described in the reviews. Upon reading the Reviews (which were from 3-4 months prior) I was immediately convinced I had to try this place. The pictures looked delicious, business almost has 5 stars on Yelp. So I decided that On 1/1/2021 ,the first day of year it would be great idea to host a Birthday Dinner for a group. Upon arrival, our table was prepared in the lunch Dinner room. Make sure if you want to sit in the tavern to request it upon making reservations. Originally that's where I thought we were going to be sitting at. I asked if we can be accommodated to the tavern side, but our request could not be granted due to what ever reason. Shortly our arrival another large group came in and they were seated at the tavern. Our service - Horrible.I don't remember the waiters name but you could tell he didn't want to be working on the first day of 2021. Our Food- It was a mess. Our order was completely sloppy. We literally got an entry and our order of fries way after our bill was paid. The rice pasta had WAY TOO Much of seasoning. You could taste the same strong seasoning flavor on two different dishes. Don't even want to mention the incident with my food. I'm just going to leave it like this,,,,,,,,,,cmon Runas, we have to do better. Location and ambience and presentation is superb, the ceviche was alright and the corkage fee was decent but my over all experience for picking Runas for a birthday dinner was a disaster. I will not be returning.

Best ceviche in Boca! The fish is tender and juicy. Almost translucent. Seasoned and cooked to perfection with the right amount of lime and spices accompanied with a slice of sweet potato. I always finish my Leche de Tigre! the best for last

Peruvian is one of my favorite cuisine so finding one outside of downtown Miami was great. I had a lunch date with my girlfriend and I was very impressed with the food and service. There is paid street parking next to and across from the restaurant. Outside and indoor seating, great funky decor of vintage mixed with modern. The fish ceviche was to die for, had to get extra sweet potatoes because that one piece was not cutting it, lol. The Lomos Saltado was delicious great rich sauce and beef done right. Our seafood pasta was everything I expected and so much more. Such great service, such clean and inviting space, such delicious food. Definitely a must in Hollywood, can't wait to go back and try something else from their wide array of delicious meals.

Quality of food is excellent. I ordered Rissotto Gratinado . Very good and yummy . Also We ordered Chaufa Runas. 5 stars. Jessica was our waitress. Very sweet and nice. Nice ambiance with background music . Sour pisco is recommended.

This place has gone way downhill. Food is hit or miss with mostly misses recently. The service is also horrible but there is an 18% gratuity included so I guess they don't feel the need to work for the tip. Over all the place is alright sometimes but recent visits have been very disappointing, it's higher priced than other Peruvian restaurants around and the quality of food has gone way down making it not worth it.

This is the BEST ceviche I've ever had hands down. An absolute hole in the wall gem that I will travel far to come back to. Incredible authentic cuisine and amazing service and lovely live entertainment. Fantastic atmosphere and vibe. Best meal I've had in YEARS. (We got the ceviche sampler and ceviche Runas)

Located just north of Hollywood Blvd, this place has tasty Peruvian food that has been elevated, making it less of a casual dining experience and more of a classier dinning experience. They are following strict pandemic protocols so you can feel safe eating here. Do try their pisco mojito. It was outstanding. For dinner we had the risotto huancaina con lomo and the lomo saltado. Both had the meat cooked to perfection. Lomo saltado is a traditional Peruvian dish that typically combines marinated strips of sirloin with onions, and tomatoes. Typically served with white rice, mine came with risotto. Service is slow but attentive. One thing I didn't understand was the club music playing on the background but hey, we will be coming back for more.

Wow just had the best ceviche of my life. We ordered the cevichito from the happy hour and it was incredible and regular size maybe slightly smaller. Then we ordered the copa runas which is the leche de tigre (white citrus spicy sauce) topped with fresh fried calamari. Everything was to die for. So glad we made the trip to try this place!

Absolutely fantastic. The place is really beautiful inside and the staff are very welcoming. We sat at the bar and Andrea was our bartender/waitress. She was absolutely lovely and so attentive. The food was amazing, we had the Acevichado Roll which is one of the best sushi rolls I've had anywhere in the world. We also had the Ceviche Sampler which was divine. The added bonus was the live music!! The singer was just fabulous!! If you have the chance, try this place for dinner, it is a spectacular experience.

Whenever we travel in tropical places such as Florida, Cayman, or Costa Rica, we get ceviche everywhere we can. Runas has some of THE BEST ceviche ever. The trio is a great way to taste all the distinctly different and vibrant flavors in each ceviche. Their other dishes such as the grilled octopus and seafood platter are really good too. It's our must stop when we are in Fort Lauderdale and Miami area.

Visiting family after a cruise in Miami Florida, on Halloween night. My wife is Peruvian so we always try to search out popular Peruvian Resturants wherever we travel. Runas Peruvian Cuisine is an upscale quaint little spot, a local favorite, located in a diverse part of Miami. It is decorated nicely, with white clothed tables. Our server was friendly, he didn't explain any specials or anything, but he seemed to be doing double duty. The food prices are competitive to similar level peruvian restaurants near Los Angeles. The menu here includes a unique variety of choices. When sampling a new Peruvian restaurant, we like to try their basic staple. - Lomo Saltado. Traditionally it's wok fried filet mignon, cooked with tomatoes, red onions, served over a bed of French fries and a scoop of white rice. The combination may sound strange, but the taste is divine. Tender, juicy cuts of filet, delicious brown sauce and fresh vegetables. My wife ordered Lomo saltado with risotto a la Hunancahina (a creamy Cheese sauce). They eliminated the rice and fries. The taste was a bit different, but still very good. The risotto gave it a nice touch. I had the Ravioli Aji de Gallina, ravioli pasta filled with Peruvian style chicken ravioli, layered with cheese. The taste was delicious. This is not an item I'ver seen at the average Peruvian style restaurant. But their chef put together an excellent combination with this dish. Being Halloween night, there was a steady flow of people in costume into the bar next door, which is accessed from inside this restaurant. I gather this is a local favorite and undoubtedly quite popular. Over all, we had a nice experience. Come see for yourself. Thank you Ronas. Michael Cummings-Georgetown, Texas.

A very interesting restaurant just a few minutes away from the Fort Lauderdale airport (alternative airport near the Miami area). There were so much dishes to try, but didn't have much days in FL for a business trip. Asked the Manager on why Chinese and Japanese dishes were on the menu and was hoping that they didn't try some crazy Asian fusion thing. He said that Chinese and Japanese immigrants are established in Peru and they influenced their mainstream cuisine. A bit of history, Alberto Fujimori did serve as President of Peru at one time, so this does make sense. With each an extensive menu, didn't know what to order. Asked the server for a traditional Peruvian dish, he recommended the Arroz Norteno De Marescos, Arroz con cilantro, mixtura de mariscos, frejoles al lado y salsa criolla, (seafood with cilantro based rice). This did not disappoint, bursting with flavor in every bite. Loved that you had a good variety of seafood and can taste the different interactions with the spices of the sauce. Also, the cilantro didn't drown out the other parts of the dish, rather complimented it, a big kudo to the chef. Definitely recommend, wish I could visit here again. The service is excellent, the environment was welcoming.

First time visiting and everything was fantastic! We had the anticucho, ceviche Runa, and the causa sampler to eat. No complaints as everything tasted amazing, with extra kudos for the properly cooked anticucho and accompanying hot sauce. I also had a pisco sour that was just right! All in all, excellent service despite staffing issues and even better food.

The ceviche. Get the ceviche. It's not your usual cup of seafood in lime juice, it is so much more. Our entrée was fine (whole snapper with basically paella rice/seafood side), but the ceviche was the best I've ever had. I think when we go back (we will), we will sit at the bar around 8p to hear the live music and just have ceviche and cocktails. We got the Runas ceviche and it had hominy (corn), sweet potato, white fish, shrimp, squid, leches de tigre (whatever the hell that is), etc. So good. Like really, really good. Get it SPICY! The restaurant is very cute and in an historic building and our server Jessica (Hi, Jessica!) was great and told us all about it. Really a hidden gem that's worth a two-block drive off Hollywood BLVD. with free parking around the corner. Don't wait five years to discover it after moving to Hollywood like we did!

I am a Hollywood resident and this was our first time having dinner here with my husbands whole family for his birthday. The food was amazing! Decor was vibrant and unique to the space. Live music as well was a nice touch. Service was super friendly and manager was walking around making sure everyone was ok. We would recommend and come back for sure!

Delicious Peruvian food!!! Restaurant was clean and servers were fully masked. We had three pasta dishes (kid's fettuccine alfredo, fettuccine criollo, and fettuccine huancaina). We also ordered the Parihuela which was by far the best I have ever tasted! Prices were reasonable for ambiance and quality of food. This was my second time here, best believe I'll be back for a third!

I went to this place on April 27th. I forgot to write this review so is better late than never. Went there with my husband on a Tuesday. They were around 3 tables besides us and even like that the food took forever. We don't mind waiting when the food is made fresh but even the appetizers took a long time to be served. So considering this I can say they are extra slow. I can't even imagine how long will take to eat in a weekend. We ordered 2 appetizers and 2 main plates - Causa - Pulpo Anticuchero - Lomo saltado a lo pobre - Rissotto huancaina and lomo saltado The appetizers were good. I think the Causa could be better but my husband said it was good and he liked it. We both loved the octopus. One of the best we ever had. With this appetizers we couldn't wait for the main plates. Our expectations were super high. Unfortunately when they arrived they looked so pretty and wonderful but we both agree that we didn't like the flavor. It had to be the lomo saltado because both plates had it in common, but it was super salty (extra salty) and had too much of it sauce all over the plate. In the case of the risotto you couldn't even taste the huancaina flavor on it. The salty lomo saltado took over the flavor. We have an Instagram page were we post pictures of places we visit, so when we arrived we sent an instagram private message saying that we were there, so they asked about how was the food; I told them that appetizers were amazing but we didn't like the main dishes because they were too salty, they saw the message and didn't even apologize. That was rude. To be honest; we didn't tell the waitress about the salty food. They were almost closing, and when we visit a restaurant in a slow day and we don't like the food we never go back, because in a restaurant there has to be consistency every day, but when is a busy day you kinda understand that something can be wrong because of the high demand. But if this happens in a slow day for me is a NO NO NO ever again. Is good to also mention that they have high prices for small portions. Even the lomo saltado prices are not bad but then you see like 4 little pieces of meat and you are wondering "where is the lomo?" With this 4 plates and 2 waters we spent over $100 without tips and we were not full. Of course we did not finish the main dishes but still it was less than we were expecting. The whole experience took over 2.5 hours since we ordered until we got our bill. It was A LONG WAITING TIME, too long for what we got. I can say our waitress was amazing. Super slow but she was nice. She even gave us a free alfajor to taste it and it was really good. The place is pretty, has a full bar and we loved the vibe.

Came when they advertised that it was open and it was closed. All the signs outside said open also but knocked for a few minutes and no response. Maybe a sign .

Stopped by for dinner on a Thursday, party of 4. We did have reservations and we were greeted and sat down right away. The waiter brought out water and 1 container of corn. We did ask for a second one. Service was not the best thru the night honestly but the waiter was trying and was polite. Drinks were good, Ceviche was amazing ... I ordered a whole fried snapper which was not dried out and perfect. Even thou the service was a damper, I would give it another try.

We brought my family here on a Wednesday at around 8pm. It was pretty crowded and we got the last open table. I believe there were only 2 servers for the whole place which led to slow service. I ordered a Pisco sour which is my favorite drink at Runas. Unfortunately it came out in a very small glass, maybe holding 4-5 ounces. This was much smaller than the one I had last time I was here. And it cost $10.75! The food was amazing as always, and the server apologized for how long it took to get it. I hope they get more servers in the future and are more consistent with drink sizes. Update: We came back in a Monday evening and ordered a pisco sour. It was as an appropriate size (pictured here) and really delightful. We also had the grilled octopus appetizer which was cooked perfectly and flavored really nicely. Highly recommend. Per usual, our entrees were just amazing. We had Cordova risotto and steak risotto. This is the best food in Hollywood by far! The restaurant has renovated the space next door which is an historically gorgeous gem (1920s architecture), a must see!

Really has gone down hill- the floor is sticky when you walk in, not a good sign. The knife work of the chef and the ceviche is absurd. They must be using a dull knife and poor quality fish. The flavors are just not on point anymore in this kitchen. Maybe a new chef ?

Amazing Peruvian food... It's the real deal. No fusion, etc. Deliciously traditional Pisco Sours as well

We fully enjoyed our experience at Runas. The quality of the food was awesome. The staff very friendly, helpful and attentive. We both had the classic fish ceviche. I had chupe de camarones. My boyfriend a mahi dish that was amazing. He quickly finished everything. The building is historic with unique architecture and lots of interesting pictures. It used to be the old city hall for Hollywood and Hemingway's before the city hall. Vale la pena! Thank you so much for everything! It's worth it!

It's has been a while since we visited a restaurant for indoor dinning. We are glad we picked Runas Peruvian Cuisine. It is located off the main strip in downtown Hollywood. Even during these times, I was concerned about parking, but because it is off the main strip, Parking was a breeze, right across from the restaurant. A staff from the restaurant opened the door for us. The place is very nicely decorated, with some beautiful black and white photographs of Peru on the walls. Everyone is wearing uniforms and matching face masks. Tables have plenty of space between them. There was a sanitation station available. The place has a nice a ambiance and the staff was very friendly and attentive. We selected a conner booth with chair next to the nice bar. It was very spacious and confortable. Our server, Jenny was very attentive and helpful. She answered all our questions about the dishes, and made some good recommendations. The menu has a nice selection of dishes. We open up with the grilled octopus ($19) and a couple of Pisco Sour cocktails. My wife had the classic Pisco ($12), I had the Maracuya (passionfruit) Pisco. While we waited for the Octopus, they brought us a small bowl of Andean toasted corn to snack on. The octopus arrived, and we were delighted. It's one of the very best, if not the best, Octopus we have eaten. The two tentacles were large, perfectly season and grilled. It was octopus perfection! It was served with a few toasted potatoes and Peruvian corn. We were up to a great start. My wife had Lomo Saltado with Tacu Tacu ($19)while my Sister-in-law opted for Lomo Saltado a lo Pobre ($22)(Pobre translates to poor and may refer to the origins of this dish) it came with large fried wedges, white rice, sweet plantains, and a Fried egg at the top. I had a house special, Pargo Chalaco ($48) a whole fried fish fish, Arroz con Mariscos (Mussels, shrimp and squid with aji-amarillo infused rice) and delicious side of ceviche! I appreciate that they accommodated my request for no onions on my ceviche. Everything tasted was excellent and everyone was very happy on my table. We ended the night with a great Peruvian desert. It was the perfect way to end a fantastic dinner. I have listed prices above, and as you can see they are very reasonable. I highly recommend you give Runas a visit, we were very happy we did, and look forward to return.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR EXCELLENT PERUVIAN FOOD THIS IS IT! We were in the area getting ready for a cruise and looking for a great place to eat. Yelpers score again! This place is a 10! The service is excellent. Our server was Orlando he was attentive, able to make recommendations and they did not disappoint! All of the staff was attentive. Another gentleman even noticed I was chilly (yes cold in Florida) and adjusted the temperature in the restaurant. I had the beef tenderloin with rice and beans OMG. The food was heavenly. The flavor profile was excellent with the rice and beans even having a little crisp like the bottom of a true paella. Dang did I say our food was good! My husband had short ribs white rice yellow beans OMG good! AND please dont skip dessert! Passion fruit cheesecake and these fabulously light cookies with dulce de leche center OMG. Could eat more. Parking a breeze this is a great place for a great meal!

We had a very nice and authentic experience of very good Peruvian food. The waitress was very nice and helpful to us since we asked his help to choose very traditional and authentic food. The only thing I didn't like that the waitress offered us some kind of combination of 4 appetizers, since we wanted to try, but he didn't mention that it would cost more than $55. The restaurant is priced as $$, so no portion should be so expensive, especially appetizer. On the menu one portion of appetizer cost between $17-$20, so basically we were charged almost full price for each appetizer, and in this case client should know that it is not any special offer. If he would notified us about the cost of the special dish, we would not take it.
