Paititi Peruvian Bistro

My daughter & I had dinner the other nite. I soent time in Peru in early 80s, so excited to try. Each dish had its own distinct flavors. The Empanada Limena Aji De Gallina was lovely w/ mustardy dip sauce. The ceviche classico was different than any i had in Peru. Big chunks of fish & other vegies you mixed together yourself. We got medium & it needed bit more flavor. The papas rellenas were nice mashed potato stuffed with filling then deep fried. It was our favorite. Fried plantain nice & sweet so almost like desert. To drink—Strawberry- Mango Lemonade 1 Maracuya juice. Refreshing. 4-5 booths & also tables.

My partner and I went for their Valentine's Day special. $85/person +tax & 20% gratuity for a 2 course meal + dessert. "All of the hung decorations look nice but the wallpaper is... Questionable." And this is why restaurants should never use AI. Service was terrible. We waited a full 45 minutes from seating to getting our food even as we ordered in the first 5 minutes. Even though she said that the kitchen 'decided' to bring out the first two courses at the same time, it was obvious from the temperature of the food that she forgot about our table. A compliment to the chef for timing the course so beautiful that it exposed the 2nd worst restaurant service I've had in my life. Thanks Alondra. The food itself was alright and could have been worth the price if timed correctly and I regret h

Kamikaze dinner night, we walked several blocks with no plan and ended up here; so glad we did. Once they knew we were newbies, we were quickly educated on the history of the restaurant, the food and some traditions. Not knowing what to expect, me and my date were never unhappy with our random walk-in, in fact, we were impressed and very satisfied. The menu wasn't huge and I say that as a very good thing as it can be overwhelming when it is. I plan to come back again and try out more items. Prices were one spot where that should be and drink were delicious. 'Til next time...

My friend and I came here on a whim and we don’t regret it! Was a little nervous because the food didn’t sound too familiar, but it was SO good!! We will definitely be coming back! I took a picture, mine was the Arroz Chafua Paititi and my friend had the Aji de Gallina ( yes I had to look at the menu to spell those correctly lol). Mine was like deep flavorful fried rice with crispy pork belly and hers was like this creamy chicken over potatoes and rice. Both had incredible flavor. The picture kinda makes the serving look small but I assure you the plates they served them on were way bigger than normal dinner plates. I wish I put my hand up for a size comparison. Neither of us finished we had to take to-go boxes. WELL worth the price. For these two dishes, a soda, a mango cider and a mimosa

This is a new Peruvian Bistro on 20th and J Street. The place is super clean, staff super kind and the plates super tasty🍻. I often look for new taste’s in the midtown area and this place is a great addition to Sacramento’s Midtown scene. Grab a few friends, seating is plentiful, both in and outside
