MOIA Peruvian Restaurant — Restaurant in Las Vegas

Arrived at around 6:30 pm for dinner - first time here, but very experienced with Peruvian cuisine. Greeted very warmly at the door by Augustine, who also was the server. He had three tables of four, one two-top, and a very large party of 11 people. Augustine juggled it all with ease and I never felt like I wasn't constantly on his radar. He was incredibly attentive to the entire restaurant. The other staff member behind the bar was also very attentive, as was the very young and beautiful owner. I learned she and her husband also have another Peruvian restaurant nearby.

I started with the ceviche de pescado, and asked for it 'spicy'. It was on my table within 8 minutes. The presentation was beautiful, with crispy corn on a large green lettuce leaf, with hominy and sweet potato on the side. The fish was delicious,, but not fishy at all. It tasted fresh and clean, and had a wonderful spicy citrus flavor. Really delightful. It was also a generous portion of white fish, mixed with thinly sliced red onions and green chilies. Perfectly seasoned and just tasted so clean and fresh.

I had asked Augustine to surprise me by picking out my main course. He did great, picking the Lomo Saltado. It was in front of me within 2 minutes of my taking the last bite of the ceviche. The beef was tender, and incredibly flavorful. All the vegetables were delicious, the papas fritas cooked perfectly. The rice on the side was also very good. Perfectly cooked, and tasty enough to eat plain on its own. I asked for some Aji sauce, and if you like some heat,this stuff is perfect to drizzle all over the Lomo Saltado. Great portion sizes, too. Just enough to fill you up. I actually couldn't finish up all of the papas fritas, but devoured everything else.

For the money, this place was firing on all eight cylinders for me. The only let down for me was that they didn't have Seco or Aji de Gallina. I hope maybe they might offer them as a special some time. I highly recommend this place! It was a great experience from start to finish. I can't wait to come back next time I'm coming...

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this Peruvian restaurant, and it was an excellent experience from start to finish. The moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly, and the cozy yet vibrant atmosphere instantly set the tone for a great meal.

The menu offers a fantastic variety of traditional Peruvian dishes, each prepared with authenticity and care. I tried the ceviche clásico, which was fresh, zesty, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of citrus and spice. The lomo saltado was another highlight—tender beef stir-fried with onions, tomatoes, and peppers, served over crispy fries and fluffy rice. Every bite was flavorful and comforting.

The drinks deserve a special mention too. The pisco sour was smooth and well-crafted, striking the perfect balance between sweet and tart.

What really stood out was the service. The staff was attentive without being intrusive, happy to explain the dishes, and genuinely passionate about sharing Peruvian culture through food.

Overall, this place is a gem. Whether you’re familiar with Peruvian cuisine or trying it for the first time, you’ll leave satisfied and probably already planning your next visit. Highly...

I went there like 4 times, the first two times were great! Until I realized the service has horrible turnover rate. The last 2 times I went to this Peruvian restaurant I found a hair in my food (which was handled with a $20 discount) which was good. The last time I went there, the server took everyones order for about 20 minutes and when she finally took our order they took over an hour. The person In front of us left and I told the server that we had a flight that was coming up and they took another 30 minutes. Right when we were about to leave so we can be early to our flight. They stopped us and gave us cold food. The people that were behind us in line to be seated left and a new set of people came in and were getting the bill before we got our food.

I really liked this place, especially since the first time we came here we met the owner setting up speakers in his front of house. The front of house was not prepared for that kind of service or hospitality.

I wish this place best of luck but just want to make everyone aware of this, because the food is amazing. The FOH has a very high turnover rate so it feels like no real structure is set...
