Belén Maliakkal: Great service and delicious food! I’ve been to other Peruvian restaurants in the St. Louis/St. Charles area, but I always return to Cocina Latina. They have the most authentic style food and their pollo a la brasa is delicious. Be sure to order extra green sauce because it is amazing! Their portions are much larger than other restaurants as well, which is something I appreciate.I see people have given bad ratings due to service, but I’d say this can happen at any restaurant. My experience has always been great and my family and I will continue to come.

Tenshi: They tipped themselves. LolI dislike such practices, so I won't be returning. Food is very good though

Ben: Si quiere comida auténtica, este lugar es el mejor.

Alex @ Food Pedaler: After years of living in the Central West End, I finally came in to give Cocina Latina a try, and I was blown away by the food here! It was an absolutely delicious meal–so simple yet so flavorful. The staff were excellent and I didn't have to wait long at all for the food to come out. I will definitely be back here again!

Siyi Wang: a 25% gratuity is mandatorily added to the bill when you check out, but the service was the waiter never said a word to me. Me and my boyfriend ordered $30 and paid $46

Cristian Ademar Fernandez: La comida es buena, pero cobran demasiada propina y es obligatoria. The highest tip I've paid in my life.

myia dixon: THE CEVICHE!!!!! Omg im in love. So good.

William Matus: One of my favorite places to go in STL! Portions are huge and food is delicious!

Deirdre Lewis: The service was terrible. After being seated (they pointed at the table we had reserved and walked away), we had to get the waiter's attention to get drinks (we waited and didn't seem to be getting service anytime soon before trying to get the waiter's attention and it was not very busy). It took forever to get drinks, and when we got them, they were not good. When we finally got to order appetizers, we tried to also order our meals, since everything seemed to be taking a long time, but the waiter walked away before we even had a chance to say what we wanted. Not sad about it because we decided that we would just pay our bill and leave, since they clearly didn't want us there. The waiter spent most of his time leaning against the bar chatting with a buddy. The flavors of the apps were good, so I'm sad we didn't get to try more Peruvian food, because I think the food would have been really yummy, but we didn't want to stay in a place that didn't want us there. We were out for a double date night with friends and were looking to have a fun evening. When you have to work to get anything brought to the table, it's not fun anymore. Also, it cost $100 for 4 drinks and 4 apps, which I'm still trying to wrap my head around, since the apps were mostly in the $5-8 range.

Melanie Clark: Make a reservation and get to Jalea. Absolutely delicious each time. No unnecessary flare, they let the food speak for itself and it shines.

Belén Maliakkal: The restaurant location is great, the ambiance is wonderful, and the music is a hit. The food is good, but it is not authentic Peruvian food. It is definitely Americanized, which is not a bad thing- but if you are looking for something authentic I’d say not to get your hopes up and look for another more authentic restaurant.Overall, this is a great place to bring friends to especially if it’s their first time trying Peruvian food or if you want to keep the flavors “safe”.

Ita Pumphrey: Thank you all for such a wonderful evening! Mary was fantastic! Great suggestions and friendly! Everyone was friendly and helpful in fact. We love trying new food and this place exceeds all expectations! Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Haley Gannon: We were in town for work and picked the place on our block with the best rating on google reviews, and man do they earn it. The ceviche is to die for, the fried rice is amazing, the half chicken is amazing. They were super friendly and accommodating even when we unintentionally stayed way later than we should have as the last ones in there. Really great food and service. Would definitely go back.

Jim E: Had dinner there tonight. Had the Arroz con Pollo. The food was excellent! While it might appear pricey, the servings are generous and I did not leave hungry. Very tasty, well seasoned and savory. The staff is attentive and we had more than three people ask how our meal was. I will go back. You should support these local folks.

Sinem Altunbas: I think, Jalea is the best authentic Peruvian restaurant around the area. It is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience the rich flavors of Peruvian cuisine. We were impressed by the quality of every dish we ordered. The ceviche, in particular, was outstanding and a definite highlight of our dinner. The cocktails were also really good.
