Best South American Restaurants in Carmichael

All around great night downtown at Chicha’s Peruvian Kitchen & Cafe nicely decorated for Valentine’s Day. There was a line of people that were quickly seated. Not sure if that is the situation every weekend. Thanks to Open Table we had a reservation! Many filled tables but still felt intimate due to separate rooms/areas. Also nice light and bright separate bar area where we plan to stop by for a future happy hour. Musician walking around and playing Spanish guitar was a great and unobtrusive romantic touch. And the food! Lovely small hot bread buns with butter to start. We had the sampler platter with chicken and steak. Also the chicharron de pollo appy was crispy and delicious. Please try all the sauces - chimichurri and aoli are my faves - so good and true to Peruvian style and spices. We took some to go with our leftovers. Everything was perfectly cooked and delicious - even on an extremely busy night. We will be back to try all the ceviches. People around us were very happy with them. People have obviously found this place so reservations are recommended! We will he back!

Amazing! We go again and letting all my family and friends know about it! The store is so adorable that I bought a little llama.

We had a lovely experience here for my friend’s birthday. The food was delicious. The staff was courteous. The ambience was wonderful. I’d recommend this 100%.
