Diners have praised the delicious seafood and unique flavors, with standout dishes like lomo saltado and chupe de pescado capturing attention. However, some express disappointment at portion sizes and food preparation, noting inconsistencies like tough tostones and flavors that verge on overly salty. The atmosphere, while homey, shows signs of neglect, with outdated décor and maintenance issues. Though prices are reasonable, the service occasionally falls short.

The food was good, but the management needs to invest in maintenance and improvement. The bathroom tiles were falling apart, the decor is completely outdated, and it seemed like no one has dusted in a while—I noticed large cobwebs in a corner. It feels like a hole-in-the-wall place, but as I mentioned, the food was enjoyable. I ordered the fried fish with salad and rice, and I was not disappointed.
Located directly east of Peachtree GA 141 in Chamblee Dunwoody, this restaurant may appear a bit sketchy from the outside, but don’t let that fool you – it’s quite good. While it’s not fancy, it’s simple and straightforward. Contigo Peru specializes in seafood dishes, likely indicating that the owners are from Lima. The menu features some popular dishes like lomo saltado and pollo a la brasa, but it lacks others such as choclo con queso and aji de gallina, one of my personal favorites that my wife and mother-in-law prepare perfectly. Additionally, the menu offers some Mexican dishes, perhaps as a nod to the large Spanish-speaking community in Atlanta. I ordered the chupe de pescado, a flavorful fish chowder.
The service was horrible, the food was to salty, the check was crazy and the tip included wich don't give you the opportunity yo let them know that the whole experience was a nightmare. Stay away from that place. My bill was 103 for two people. Worst peruvian place. A hundred of thumbs down.
I tried the seafood ceviche, and it was fantastic. I'm sure Hunter Brinkmann would enjoy it, even if he traveled all the way from Hamsterdam. A+!
