Best WLM Reviews

Had lunch in here with hubby yesterday. From the outside this place look a bit weird, first impression we were like is this place only for ordering to go?! Because the window from the front side seems like windows that open when you get your Rita ice cream ???? but we saw from the reviews people put pictures the food on the table. Dining space is not big but seems enough and comfortable.
We’re both enjoyed our lunch. I even ordered whole chicken to go. The front of the house lady was friendly. Has big parking space.
Found another good spot to eat Peruvian food ????????
I was always curious about this place. I finally stopped by shortly after they opened their doors today. I am glad that I did.
The lady behind the counter was very polite. The place a empty, they just opened, it was clean and nicely set up. The menu had lots of items. I ordered half a chicken with rice. They placed roasted corn kernels on the table as an appetizer. They were interesting. They reminded me of eating something similar with my uncle as a child. They were good, and it was cool to experience an unexpected childhood memory. The meal came out quickly.
The fried rice reminded me of pork fried rice at a Chinese restaurants but it had small pieces of chicken instead. It was exciting to try something new yet familiar. It was very good. The chicken was roasted to perfection. I would like to pretend I ate like a gentleman of class and a good upbringing. The chicken looked and smelled so good that I tore into it.
It was juicy. The skin was delicious. I definitely will order from there again. I also purchased a cookie, alfajores. It was not very sweet but had a powdered sugar coating and a fruit jam filling. It was different. I recommend trying it out. I also purchased other items at the register, and I assumed they were prepackaged cookies and chocolate snacks from Peru. I like to try snack foods from different countries. I wasn't disappointed. They were not as sweet as American snacks, but they were good. I recommend you go and have fun ordering. I know I did.
Just flew in from FL to my old stomping grounds and my family and I needed a lil something as it's been a long day. This is our first time but it will not be our last! The fare was delicious, those who cared for us made us feel right at home. The food was off the chain and you definitely can't say you left hungry, the servings were very generous, and the meals are reasonably priced. I'm taking my leftovers home, this will be an EXCELLENT late night treat. This is a MUST try! Thank you, I give 5 Stars!
I ordered a lomo saltado and fried fish, but there was very little meat in the lomo saltado and the fried fillet was very small for the price we paid. We will not return and I do not recommend this place either. There are cheaper places and the food is more plentiful!!
Went 12-14-24, for dine in around 7 PM. Sat in for dinner. Noticed it was damn cold. Ordered tamal, arroz con pollo, Lomo saltado and causa.While waiting for food, it was so freezing inside, my wife went to the car to bring in a portable heater she has in trunk. Plugged it in next to our table. Tamal was just okay, little meat, mostly masa, best part was it was hot. Then arroz con pollo came out, really bland or not enough flavor or cilantro, can tell the sauce is watered down, as the rice was almost white instead of the dark cilantro green color. Our food got cold fast in there after 3 bites and we took Lomo and causa to go. Lomo was again OK, no cilantro, meat was tough, maybe 2 slices of tomatos, 2 slices of onions. Bland and definately could have been made better
Out of all Peruvian spots maybe a 2 out of 10 rating food wise. Not sure how people like it, wished they would tried other spots and see what they are missing. Rating this place 5 stars is just bananas. Here is a tip, next time heater is broken and dining room is about 40 degrees freezing, warn your customers the heater is broken and instead of waiting for us to order food to dine in thinking it will warm up. I def wouldn't recommend for the food, let alone the ambience and freezing cold. Also If you dine in and you can't finish the food because it's freezing cold, because your heater is broken, dont have the audacity to charge dine in customers extra, because its freezing due to broken heater in your restaurant for to go cartons because their food got cold within 1 minute of serving it is crazy business.
Amazing food and excellent service. My husband is Peruvian and I am Puerto Rican. Perfect combination. A must try. 5 stars for sure!
It is a 10/10 restaurant, the customer service and the food are very delicious and the family atmosphere is one of its qualities, the desserts are very sweet to the palate. I recommend them, you won't regret it.
I had an incredible dining experience at Al Toque. The standout dishes for me were the chufa and ceviche—both absolutely delicious. The chaufa was perfectly seasoned and had an amazing balance of flavors and textures, while the ceviche was fresh, vibrant, and bursting with citrusy goodness. The quality of the ingredients and attention to detail truly made the meal memorable. I’ll definitely be returning!
