Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Coya Peruvian Secret offers a vibrant atmosphere and "excellent food flavors," making it a delightful spot for a casual dining experience. Though service has room for improvement, standout dishes like the "squid in risotto with mahi mahi" and traditional Peruvian offerings are praised. Ideal for gatherings with family and friends.

    It can get busy, best way to make sure you get a table is to make a reservation. Ordered a few things to try, Lomo Saltado, Macho, Beet Salad and a Ceviche Mixto. The ceviche was great probably a tad bit more salt and it would've been perfect Beet salad... Beets.. The Lomo was a tad salty for me but the meat was very tender and a good size portion of food. Macho was my favorite a good variety of seafood and lots of flavor.

    The restaurant is completely outside. Only the kitchen is inside. The people are very nice and there were heaters outside, but it was a cold night as it’s typical in Del Mar and the seating was not comfortable. Food was fine, but nothing great. I wouldn’t go again. There are better choices.

    The atmosphere, service and food were all wonderful. Casual dining experience. We ate curbside, the weather was perfect but they also have heaters. Service was great! We enjoyed our meal and conversation without feeling rushed or bothered. The food was amazing. I was driving and didn’t to try the wine but the options looks good. Very much looking forward to returning. I came with two friends and it was perfect. This would also be good for a date

    Our food was cold. The steak was supposed to be filet mignon but it was not. It was chewy and tough. The lamb again was chewy. The octopus smelled fishy. We have eaten alot of peruvian food both in the US and in Peru, this was very disappointing.

    We had five people at 6:30 on Tuesday night of Breeders Cup week, so they had a nice crowd of locals and out-of-towners. It was very nicely lit and the eclectic music provided by the duet added to a wonderful ambience. I think they were named Big Boss Bubuleh, and they were the perfect volume for the small space. The food was delicious - octopus appetizer, lamb stew, lobster ravioli, pork belly, and the filet - and was served timely and hot. They were busy, but the servers did a good job on timing and pace. We all agreed we'd come back again!

    The lomo Saltado was not very authentic. Very wet, no flavorful and the meat was very grizzly. The rice was not the right type either- it was Mediterranean rice.

    The food is great, the service is excellent, the place is very casual but overall the prices are worth every penny you pay for. Excellent food flavors. I loved the place and definitely recommend it and would return to it without a doubt.

    Surprisingly ‘pedestrian’ and just generallg underwhelmed with the food and ambience. Suited for quick bite or for a group of friends to grab drinks after the beach rather than a proper sit down dinner.
