I paid $68.98 for lunch, including 20% tip. What I got was a ceviche that had good presentation, but did not seem as fresh as what I expected, considering I was there at noon. After ordering the ceviche and a chicha, I asked the server to give me the lunch special, which included a salad and a drink. The salad was a small vinaigrette that was 100% American. I expected a salad with at least some botija olives, but that's because I went with very high expectations for El Mono. For the main course, I got a 1/4 rotisserie chicken, which had the adequate spices, but was a bit on the overcooked side. At this point, the server brought me my check, even though I hadn't indicated that I was leaving....
I accidentally stumbled in today while my sister was ordering Korean food in the same complex. What a delight! To find lunch specials, with such fine preparation and quality ingredients at such a reasonable price The bearded man who took my order was helpful and polite, and I think I have a crush on him! I had the fried fish. The salad was delicious and I don't know what that rice was, but it was not PLAIN. It was so flavorful! Cilantro lime?

All to go, WITH a soda, for less than $20. My sister and I are m...
My friend and I went there to celebrate my birthday. We came on on a Sunday, early evening, and the restaurant was just starting to fill up, but we were seated immediately. The ambiance is lovely, with decorations of Peru. We ordered the trio del Mar as an appetizer. It was so delicious. I am not a bug fan of squid, but it was tender and had so much flavor. For an entree, I ordered the Aji de Gallina and my friend ordered the Lomo soltado. We also ordered the Pescado ala Macha to share. All three dishes were fantastic and will definitely come back. We did nit get any dessert as we were stuffed. I love Peruvian food and it has been a feat to find a restaurant as good as this. I can only assum...
Slow, inexperienced wait staff during busy Sunday rush. Usually, they manage, but today very bad. Try it during the week, not on the weekend. Where is the boss? No flow or control. We’ll come back, hoping today was an fluke. Wheelchair accessibility: Easy access

Great place for a lovely Peruvian dinner! The service was amazing and the food was delicious. They have an outdoor area with heaters that we enjoyed.

El Mono is such a good Peruvian restaurant. Food and service is top notch.
