Had dinner with a couple of my buddies last April 14 at this place. It was Amazing!! We were lucky enough to meet the owners of the resto. Mr Tenchan and his wife mrs Candy Higa. For starters, we had the Tiradito de Salmon (salmon carpaccio). Its their version of kilawin. instead of vinegar, they use citric juice. You can taste the freshness of the salmon. It was a great surprise. Next we had the Pollo con papas (chicken and fries). Their specialty. After just one bite, I'm lost for words. Its the best peruvian chicken ever!! Even the fries are great. Being a steak lover, of course I had to order the Anticuchos de Lomo (skewered tenderloin with chimichurri and aji verde sauce). Tender doesnt decribe it. Its a melt in your mouth experience!!!! It so crazy! The doneness is a perfect medium well. Could've had 2nds or 3rds honestly. We also had the Arroz con Mejillones (mixed rice with mussels simmered in wine sauce). Its like paella. And the Lomo Saltado (Stir fried beef tenderloin in soy sauce). Man they were so tasty and satisfying!! Best dining experience ever! Definitely coming back for more. I'm an avid website and I approve this message!

Authentic Peruvian restaurant owned by a local from peru who married a filipina. They changed locations now which is good because previous location was too small. Enjoyed their take on the seafood paella!

An old restaurant in a new place, Mantaro is no new kid in the Tomas Morato area, they've moved to a bigger space, and they still have pretty much the dishes you've come to expect from Peruvian food in the Philippines. Their octopus and ceviche are both good starters, while the lomo saltado and the chicken are the classic mains. Their food can be a bit salty to some though. This is definitely an interesting place to go to, though there are imitators now. Prices are kind of upscale but on par with most in the area.
