Best Peruvian Restaurants in Old Irving Park

The food here is amazing!! We order the avocado dip, chorizo queso dip, salchipapas, goat empanadas, salmon ceviche, and steak saltado! Everything was delicious, food exceeded expectations. The ambience and service was great! I felt transported to somewhere warm and out of wintery chicago.

Still one of my favorite restaurants. The octopus is one of the best that I had, as well as the oarmegiano claims. The capelini was the least interesting one, but still good. Can't wait to come back!

Casa Chi gave us the perfect Valentine’s Day experience. The special couples Valentine’s Day menu was perfect and gave us a great selection of Peruvian cuisine. The guitar player was a nice touch for the evening as well. Another standout of the evening was the superb service, particularly from the bartender, Eric. From the beginning, Eric was attentive and genuinely friendly, making us feel like VIPs. His cocktail recommendations were spot-on, and the creativity in each drink was beautiful. The Valentine's special cocktail he created that caught on fire and revealed a rose was an absolute delight, and his enthusiasm and passion for mixology were evident in every sip. All of the managers that stopped by our table were attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. We can’t wait to return!

IF ONLY they would turn the volume down on the music…it is meant to be “background music” while dining, not music for a dance venue. Otherwise, SIX STARS on a spectacular Valentine’s Day dining experience!!!
