My boyfriend decided to surprise me for a birthday dinner date and brought me to Coya. The moody lights, beautiful lanterns and greenery outside makes this restaurant stand out from the others. It's romantic and cozy. Quite frankly it gave me inspiration on how I should design my backyard. Our server was so kind. He had a sincere interest in his guests and made us feel welcomed and taken care of. I wish I caught his name. My boyfriend is from South America so we have been on the hunt for a restaurant that has dishes that taste like home to him. He was sad to learn his favorite dish, ají de gallina wasn't a permanent item so we went with the classics. We ordered lomo saltado, ceviche mixto, macho, and I was graciously gifted a tres leches for my birthday. The lomo saltado was pretty good. It had a lot of onions. Too much for my liking. The sauce was rich and flavorful, the meat was tender. I found it tasted better the next day after the flavors had melded together. 7.5/10 The macho seafood dish came with a generous portion of seafood. We did add a bit of salt when we got home and reheated our leftovers. This was my boyfriend's favorite dish of the night. 7.5/10 The ceviche mixto was amazing! It was bright, very acidic, refreshing and again, a very generous portion of seafood. Your taste buds may start to tingle from the high acidity. But it's so good, I didn't mind. My only complaint is that the yams were hard to cut. I would order this dish again and again. 9/10 The tres leches cake I was given for my birthday was the best tres leches I've ever had. I wanted to lick the cup it came in. It made me question why I never order desserts at restaurants. Without question, I will get this again. 10/10.

The restaurant I can brag about. I have never failed ordering anything from Coya Peruvian. The Chef cornelio is an amazing cook but this doesn't mean that other chefs are not good. They're great too. I highly recommend this place.

This Peruvian spot in Del Mar is such a gem. It's a tiny space on the main drag in town. The service is just delightful and the menu has something for everyone. My friend and I dined on a Thursday night without a Resy. We got lucky though as the restaurant was packed and there was just one table available at 6:30pm! We shared the shrimp causa and clasico ceviche. Both super tasty and very pretty on the plate. The roasted baby chicken was a highlight. The herbs were delicious and the rice so yummy. We also shared the Peruvian salad which was the only dish that was a bit underwhelming. The other salads on the menu are probably a better bet. They looked good at other surrounding tables. We were too full for dessert since the portions are enormous. Highly recommend this place.
