This is the best Peruvian restaurant !! The food is amazing ! !! I wish it was not too far!! You guy need to open another restaurant nearby!! There's no Peruvian restaurants where I live!! I can't wait to go back!!

Super authentic and locals spot. They serve Peruvian food and have live music. The music is Spanish and during soccer events this place gets packed! Good crowd and family friendly. They do have a full bar and serve beer buckets. Prices are $$ but most of their dishes are shareable!! I love coming to this place because I would always hve left over and enjoy if the next day. Customer service isn't the greatest here especially when it's busy. You'll be flagging down waiters to get things but the food is so flavorful and filling!! I would recommend this place if your looking for authentic tasting Peruvian dishes. THEIR CEVICHES ARE A MUST GET ITEM. This place isn't fancy and parking is a bit difficult.

It's like a gem in the desert , secluded in a residential area, if you looking for a fresh ceviche & a cold drink, this is the spot to be. The seafood is cooked to perfection & the ceviches are refreshing and don't leave without tasting the Pisco

We've been wanting to try this Peruvian restaurant and I was actually disappointed. We ordered a whole chicken, salad and fries and the chicken was not fresh. It was hard and dry. My sons really liked the fried rice with shrimp and chicken. The best thing was the entertainment (singer) which was good. I was surprised that they added the tip to the bill. The waitress threw away one of our leftovers that we wanted to take home and an appetizer was never bought out to us. I will not be going back.

Never tried Peruvian food? Then definitely try El Tiburon!
Have it often and worried it won't be authentic? Not to worry.
Like seafood, whether you've had Peruvian food or not? What are you waiting for? Just go for it.
This place has some of the tastiest (and best value for your $) around. Seriously, if you order a Jalea (fried seafood) you will seriously get what looks like a mountain of food. Split this between 3 very hungry people or 4-6 reasonably hungry people who will share maybe one other entree and an appetizer. Most meals can be shared here, in fact. The ceviche is delicious and can be shared as well, if you're having it as an appetizer. Their chaufa is amazeballs too!
Some other things worth noting about this place:
1. There is live entertainment on weekends. It's quite nice, but can get really loud when people are performing. So this won't be the type of place for an intimate conversation unless you go during the week or early on the weekends.
2. It can get crowded on the weekends, especially during live entertainment. So come early and hold your ground.
3. I've witnessed a couple of errors on the bill. Make sure to check your bill thoroughly before throwing your cash or credit on the table. It's super busy, people make mistakes.
4. A tip: get your waiter/waitress's name, that way you can flag them down easily when you want more "aji", something to drink, the check, whatever your heart desires. Especially when there's a big crowd.
5. Parking was horrendous. But last time I went, I learned that they have just opened a private parking just for El Tiburon. It's across the street and down the block, but way better than looking for parking for 15 minutes on the weekend.
