Chef Paz Restaurant — Restaurant in Iquitos

Would not recommend, food is super mid and will not arrive at the same time for your group, and service is extremely slow. We probably waited close to an hour before everyone’s dish finally arrived, and some of us had already finished eating when the last person got their dish. On top of all that they charge extra 10 soles per dish from the menu price if you request they use extra virgin olive oil instead of whatever usual unhealthy oil they use. I had the patarashca, the traditional Amazonian fish in leaf dish. It was as hard as Amazon package cardboard at some parts that I literally couldn’t eat it. Just about everyone else in my group of 9 people also didn’t care for their dish. Only 2 people who ordered wild boar enjoyed their dish and it was tender.

The Patarashca was a bit too salty, otherwise this would have been a 5 star review. Other than that the employees were really nice and it’s a...

I have to be honest. I was expecting a decent experience from all the reviews but this place was beyond disappointing. The food tasted awful. Over salted and came at different times. We had completely finished 3 of our plates and was ready for the check when they brought our final plate out right when we were about to leave. We had thought they didn’t get the order. Other guests also received their dishes at different times. It’s awkward when you are in a group and one person has their food and others don’t for 10 plus minutes. Don’t go here. Such a...
