Service was great, and the food was excellent. Got the whole chicken, which comes with fries and various sauces. Ask for more of the chimichurri because it takes the chicken (and everything else you pour it on) to the next level. Also got the order of rice and the coleslaw - and the standout was the coleslaw! The style is definitely fresh and herby with a bit of honey. The only disappointment was the kid's quesadilla. Seemed to be plain cheese with no fillings.

Man! This place is a gem. I've passed by this place often but have never gotten anything to eat here. I got the Lomito Al Jugo and it was delicious! Cooked just right and left me full. The service people here are also extremely kind and customer oriented. I can tell on the weekends that this place gets packed. Bottomless mimosas, bar and plenty of seating, I think I just found one of my new favorite places to eat 😄

Amazing food and service. Got the $18 happy hour deal with a large taco, rib, and slider + draft beer, left full and happy. Give this place a try next time you’re in Emeryville!

This Peruvian restaurant has amazing dishes that you have to try. Everything I ate was bursting with exciting flavors. Your tummy with thank you for hours.

I had the Crispy Chicken Sandwich with sweet potatoes fries and it did not disappoint! I sat at the bar and was served by a woman, didn’t get her name but she was great. Even better was I had conversations with Jose, I believe he is the manager. He even gave me a sample of a drink call Chicha Morada when I asked was it was. It is made in house over 2 days and I highly recommend it. I will definitely be back! They also have a dog friendly menu!

If you’re looking for flavorful, top-notch Peruvian food, Paradita is the spot. I can’t recommend the Tacos Adobo enough, seriously. They blew me away. And I’m a huge taco lover, so that says a lot. We also tried the Aji de Gallina Empanada (it’s chicken), and wow! It was packed with flavor. The salsa they serve with it was just right. The staff were super friendly and really attentive. We got to watch some soccer while we ate, and the whole vibe was relaxed and welcoming. We’re definitely coming back, and if you haven’t been yet, you should give it a try. You won’t be disappointed!

Solid Peruvian restaurant albeit with a limited menu and small portions. My chicken sandwich and tacos were flavorful. The garlic fries could have used more garlic. The cocktails were great. Service was friendly, and the ambiance at Public Market is lively and festive. Overall, a good meal and I'd eat here again.

Ate here during trivia night at the food hall and really enjoyed it. My adobo was really tasty but I wish there was just a bit more of it. Will probably come back next time I visit the food hall, and may check out some other menu items. Service was also quick and friendly which was really nice

I had a chance to stop by my favorite Peruvian restaurant in the Bay Area yesterday and they did not disappoint. The vibe and the location are two selling points for me, also there is a bar next door and friendly people. #LomoSaltado #GoodEats #DiversityMatters #EmeryvillePublicMarket

There are plenty of seatings: inside there are barstools and small tables, outside facing street is patio seating. Ordering is smooth, online with Caviar or at the counter. No table service, pick up at the counter. The Lomito al Jugo is pretty tasty but the beef is a bit overdone and tough. The Pollo a la Brasa was overcrisped at the extremities; wings were basically charcoal. White meat was also a bit dry in spots. However, the flavor was good, and so were the sauces, particularly the chimichurri. The empanada was just right, warm and flaky. Prices were a bit high for what you get - small sized entrees with oversized portions of fries, but all in all a good place to try once a while.

Public market can get a little packed on the weekends, but I love the Paradita salad and their yucca 💕

I went during lunch hour and this place was one that didn't have a long line so I ordered the anticuchos chicken skewers. The spices were pretty good on chicken and I really enjoyed the fruity dressing on salad. Minus 1 star for the wait .

Love this place! The mushroom empanada was pretty good and the chicken skewers too! The pisco sour drink was perfectly made.

Enjoyed the happy hour drinks especially the pisco sour -- also tried the sangria and chilcano. The empanada had a flaky croissant texture. The pork sandwich and yucca fries were ok. Also tried the platanos fritos (fried bananas) with a tamarind syrup.

If you’ve been craving some good Peruvian chicken, @paraditaeatery hits the spot! The chicken is fall off the bone tender and super flavorful. We also got one of their empanadas which for me was my favourite out of everything. It had a really flaky exterior and stewed chicken with nutty cheese sauce filling. 。。 📍Public Market Emeryville, CA 。。 🍗🥔 Pollo a la Brasa 🥩🍚 Lomito al Jugo 🐔🥐 Aji de Gallina

I reviewed this place 2 years ago and told many people about this place. I tried it again and I was disappointed. The place is no longer worth your money. They charged 30 dollars for a subpar sandwich. The 6 dollar Yuca fries came with 5 fries. The sauce it came with had no flavor. This place no longer embodies Peruvian food and comes off as lazy and sloppy. It does not represent Peruvian food culture any more. The only thing this place has now is the interior. I would stay away until management rebuilds and provides quality.

It wasn't tasty and was overpriced. The taste of the chicken clearly indicated that it had been reheated.

$19 adobo consisting of one scoop of rice, onions, sauce over 3 chunks of pork (see photo). Tasty enough but value ratio is needs no further comment than the photo. Go to the Korean food place a few stalls down and order a $15 BBQ chicken bowl one day and see the dramatic difference in quality and quantity.
