The Latin Chef Liberty Station: Reviews & Ratings

It is difficult to find a table. The restaurant mostly serves to go, and cause they share to big table withe the sushi stans, it's not easy to find a table to seat. The food overall is good, but sometimes the food doesn't taste fresh. Today we ate ceviche and it didn't taste as fresh and good than before. I encourage the latin chef to put careful attention to this dish because is raw fish what you are serving and you don't want to have trouble making clients sick. My two cents to the owner are: if the ceviche (fish, lime, sweet potato, corn) is not fresh, DO NOT SERVE IT. You really don't want to end it up permanently closed.

Came to Liberty Station recently to find some food for me and my wife. We decided to try The Latin Chef. I decided on the Tallarin Saltado de Res and my wife had the Tallarin Saltado de pollo. We never had Peruvian food before and I can say this was a good impression. The food was very tasty and was enjoyed deeply by both of us. We will be back when in the area. Highly Recommended.

Great little Peruvian place to eat. Order the bistek a lo pobre. The meal came with a fried egg, rice, fries and a steak. The best part was the spicy green sauce that came with the meal. Mixed everything together and it was good. The service was quick.

Our firm decided to do catering last minute and when I called the restaurant, they gave me the number to the manager. I spoke with Jeannette the manager and she was so accommodating for our request! We had a budget and she recommended items that fits our budget. The food was so delicious and the team was very happy! The service was also excellent considering we requested on a short notice. Will definitely order from Latin Chef again and recommend everyone to try this place out in Liberty Station.

Authentic Peruvian food. I was little disappointed because I wanted try the fried sweet plantains and JALEA, both were unavailable and with limited options I had to choose seafood saltado, which was good. I will definitely visit again to try what I missed. The food was ready in 15 mins. There are few tables right next to the food counter and there are plenty around the marketplace.

Honestly, have yet to try any other food at Liberty Station Public Market. The food at The Latin Chef is just too good to pass up. Making my way through the menu, one delicious bite at a time.

Excellent flavors and great value on food for the price. Anticuchos are the best I’ve had outside of Peru. Leche de tigre had a good amount of seafood. Lucky to have so close to home!
