Cayjo Peruvian Cuisine — Restaurant in Florida

8/25/25 I was extremely disappointed with my experience trying to order from this restaurant. To start, the female employee hung up on me three separate times before actually answering the phone, which was already unprofessional and frustrating.

Their hours online (including Google) clearly state they close at 9:00, this was on a Monday. yet when I finally got through at 7:40, I was told they stop taking online orders at 8:00. That explanation made no sense because I still had 20 minutes before that supposed cutoff, and I even told her I could be there within 10 minutes. Instead of honoring that, she said (in Spanish) that sometimes people order online and don’t pick up the food, which completely confused me and left me thrown off guard. That should not be projected onto paying customers who are clearly making the effort to call ahead.

To make matters worse, she then suddenly mentioned there was an “oven issue,” which felt like a last-minute excuse to convince me not to order. It honestly seemed like she just didn’t want to take another order and wanted to close early.

The explanations were inconsistent, dismissive, and unprofessional. the entire interaction felt more like calling someone’s house than a legitimate business. In the end, I never even got the chance to try their food because of how poorly the situation was handled. If this is how they treat new customers, I won’t...

We went based on a local’s recommendation, as they mentioned the food here is of very high quality—and that day we were in the mood to try something different. The food definitely deserves 5 stars: the lomo saltado, papa a la huancaína and both the fish and mixed ceviche were excellent.

The only thing I’d suggest is better training for the customer service staff. The person who served us asked a lot of questions after we had already ordered and seemed unsure of herself. The person told us to be patient because it was their 1st day—but later, as we were leaving, …said it was actually their 3rd day. So the explanation felt inconsistent and not very reassuring.

The attitude was friendly, but the service didn’t quite reach that level of excellence that matches the quality of the food. Everything else was great. I would definitely go back for the food—but if I see the same person serving, I might just head back out through...

5 stars aren't enough for this beautiful place. First and foremost, when you walk in the place is super clean. The host/waitress Maria Jose was a pleasure. She was very patient, and friendly. I love Peruvian food, so I was determined to leave an honest review. The Arroz Chaufa (Peruvian Fried Rice) was by far the best I ever had. I ordered a vegetarian-style fried rice. Being that they don't have it on the menu, the chef even offered to add more veggies to make up for the protein. I, however, declined since again as stated, I was determined to leave an honest review on how I am used to eating this delicious meal. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food you are getting. If you are in the area and love Peruvian food as much as I do, I 100% recommend Cayjo...
