Miguelitos in Köln

I went recently when I was on vacation in Colonia and I loved the ceviche and lomo saltado, the chicha was also very delicious, they serve well, I read comments here that they took a long time to serve but in my experience it was not like that, maybe 15 minutes but that is normal, but it is a small place but I was lucky to find a free table (: the lady who serves is very kind, I will go again when I return to Colonia

Food was nice but took a long time to come.

Went here for my mom's (Peruvian) birthday and were thrilled. ❤️Chicha morada, ceviche, anticuchos, yucca❤️ it was all there and tasted excellent. I would have loved to lick the plate. Service was lovely and I can't wait to go next time. Clear recommendation

Very authentic and delicious :)

Over the last few years I've probably tried every dish on the menu and it's always tasted great. What I particularly like is the approach of offering homemade cuisine with a lot of love and good ingredients. Actually, Miguelitos is not a restaurant but a “comedor” for friends of the house. The homemade chicha morada also tastes very good. The restaurant is quite small and can therefore get full quickly, especially on weekend evenings, so you should know that. Basically only cash payment.

Tasty, quiet, friendly staff. I can recommend it.

an authentic Peruvian restaurant with delicious food!

Excellent place, they treated us excellently and everything was very delicious.

Expressive Peruvian food made right in front of you. Ever so slightly hindered by the fish used for ceviche. The rest was top notch tho: from Tamale to Pisco sour. Portions are dangerously large, we haven't managed to fit the flan in.

I am Peruvian and for me Miguelitos is the best place to try traditional Peruvian food

It’s a an authentic and affordable place with really good Latin food! The staff is friendly and it’s your chance to watch Latin TV once in a while. Just don’t forget to bring cash, else you’ll need to find an ATM since they don’t accept any cards. Overall, good experience!

moin, unfortunately no menu online, what a pity

Very good Peruvian food, great seasoning, after searching a lot I found this place MIGUELITOS I RECOMMEND IT 100%

Delicious homemade food and the owner is a sweetheart 💖

As expected, the food tastes very very bad, and very poorly prepared. The service was very unpleasant and everything was very slow even though it was empty. The girl who serves is a bit friendly, the organization is terrible. Better to go to Mac Donalds IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED!!!

Original Peruvian, super tasty and fresh. Well sized portions. Very friendly service. Uncomplicated ambience with some loud music: just like I know it from Peru. Very highly recommended!

Super delicious, authentic Peruvian cuisine and really lovely service :) we'll definitely be going there more often from now on! The atmosphere can be described as cozy and similar to a snack bar, but in such a way that you would like to spend a longer time there :) only cash payment. See you soon 🤗

A very good place to taste a Latin dish, the truth is I was very satisfied, everything was super delicious, I will gladly return again, it gained a customer from Hamburg 😀

The best experience in my 4 years in Germany! Real Peruvian food, super tasty and generously served. Great service and an atmosphere that feels like Peru. Absolutely recommended! Buenazo!!!

Very, very tasty and very friendly service and operator. I can only recommend it :)

Very authentic Peruvian restaurant. I had a dish called Duo Marino, which consisted of ceviche with fried fish. My girlfriend and I really enjoyed the food and the price-performance ratio was extremely good. In terms of atmosphere, it is like a typical restaurant in Latin America, where you go to eat and meet and chat with your family and friends instead of making Instagram stories etc. The restaurant is very inconspicuous and “difficult” to find as there is no main street or restaurant space, so it is a real insider tip. The owner is also very friendly and you immediately felt like you were at grandma's 😁.

The food is very delicious. However, I didn't have much of it. The waiting time is very long. Cutlery and glasses were only available upon request. I couldn't eat that much and wanted to take about half of my food home with me. It was cleared away and we were not contacted again while the waitress was typing on her cell phone. When I asked, I was told that the cook had unfortunately thrown the food away and I had to pay €5 less (from €25). When we were there, it opened 30 minutes later than stated Service --

Fantastic dishes. Anyone who has ever been to South America or Africa and enjoyed the food there will have a revival here. Finely prepared, nicely served and without much fanfare. It's nice that there is this temple of taste in the heart of Cologne. Leg of lamb and beef heart kebabs (above, Cabrito á la Norteña, and bottom left, Anticuchos) were a hit. And the price is more than okay.

Very authentic Peruvian little restaurant. Small menu and very tasty food. Thanks to the mainly Spanish-speaking guests (at least on the evening we were there), you feel a bit like you're on vacation.

This was our first visit to a Peruvian restaurant and also our first encounter with this cuisine. What can I say? I'm thrilled! Exciting menu, fair prices, great service and such a good impression that we will be back! The only drawback: there seem to be problems with the ventilation, so it quickly becomes stuffy in the restaurant and the tables were not cleaned thoroughly. But no problem at all.

The food is delicious but they made me wait more than ONE hour, which I don't know if it was worth it. the pity They DO NOT accept cards, you have to go to the ATM which is super far away. It also does not have good access to the bathroom, and the service was not very good.

Be sure to convince yourself! I remained completely happy. Eat like you would at home.

Super authentic Peruvian cuisine! Everything was excellent, I was really impressed by the delicious taste. The friendly owner puts a lot of love into her restaurant. The Chicha Morada is highly recommended!🤩🇵🇪

Nice little restaurant which is located a bit away from the main station in Cologne, with friendly service who is also the “girl” for everything. Food is very good and tasty and drinks are taken from the fridge itself on a trustworthy basis. Prices for the food (had Tuco Tuco) / drinks absolutely fair.

Very nice and familiar atmosphere. Authentic and consistently delicious food, but you should come here sooner rather than later, otherwise many items are already sold out. The owner of the shop is just as nice and familiar as the atmosphere and you feel like you're in good hands, almost like you're with grandma in the kitchen. Clear recommendation and certainly the best Peruvian restaurant in Cologne.

Absolutely good ceviche!!! The main was also very good

Most importantly: the food. It was authentic and excellent. The taste is damn close to Peru. The waiting times are a little longer because everything is made fresh in the small family business. The 5 stars are because the food was very, very good. Unfortunately no card payment possible. This is no longer up to date. The restaurant is very small, with a maximum of around 20 seats and looks more like a snack bar. Which is a bit of a shame considering the quality of the dishes. A bit of Peruvian decoration on the walls and tables wouldn't be bad and would enhance the ambience. There is a toilet, it is accessible from outside. I would definitely come again. The food is just really delicious. And that's what matters. ____ If my review was useful to you, please rate it helpful.

It's very good!!! Everything is very rich

Good Peruvian food, taste just like if you were in the actual country.

My husband and I were looking for a Peruvian restaurant for lunch and they were all closed, they open from 6pm, why?! This is how we found Miguelitos, open for lunch 😃 I no longer want to go to another Peruvian restaurant in Germany, we eat deliciously every time we go to Köln, totally recommended, the seasoning, quality, quantity and prices needless to say. It is best to reserve a table because the place is small and gets busy.

Really authentic Peruvian cuisine and incredibly delicious! I can only recommend everyone to pay a visit to the restaurant. Always happy to come back :)

The food is very tasty and the staff is very friendly. We will definitely be back

The food is bad, the service is not good either. The ceviche was completely tasteless and of average quality. A bottle of chicha morada cost 18 euros… which seems too much to me

que delícia de comida! delicious food, great service, fair prices. I’m definitely going to be back.

Absolutely recommended! Great authentic cuisine! It feels like Peru!! My recommendation: Ceviche, Aji de Gallina, Tamal & Papa Rellena.

Small, family-run place with delicious dishes from central America. Serves beer and wine, but accepts cash only.

Absolutely delicious & authentic food! Always happy to come by.

50 minutes to wait for the food. They do not accept card payments. Only cash, but you get informed just when you want to pay

Small restaurant with very tasty food and very, very friendly service, four of us ate there this evening and we really enjoyed it Top👍👍👍👍👍

Had dinner there earlier this week. Seafood rice was brilliant, as were the starters we had. Also the cocktails. Flavour and quality were bang on.

Alles soweit in Ordnung. Thanks for the empanada. Until next time

The food felt just like what I would eat in Peru and the pisco sour was a great cherry on the cake. The atmosphere feels very homey and warm. I highly recommend

Super tasty and freshly prepared food. We'd love to come back and try other dishes from the menu. If you want to experience the taste of Peru, you have to visit the restaurant.

The food at this place is very good. If what you want to eat is something truly Peruvian, made with love and quality, you have to come to this place. The quantities are very good. And with each dish you are super satisfied. This is an authentic place, so highly recommended when those cravings for delicious Peruvian food hit. The restoration is modest, yes. But if the craving is to eat well, this is the place.

A family-run restaurant. We were carefree satisfied with the waitress, a very friendly woman with a very pleasant smile. The food was really delicious, especially the appetizer called Empanada knocked me off my chair. It was something new for us and it was really worth it. You have gained a regular customer. I'm already looking forward to the next time...

Super delicious Peruvian restaurant! Very authentic food and super friendly owners :)

The small restaurant has a family atmosphere. The food tastes very good and represents Peruvian cuisine very well. I've eaten there twice and would love to come back. Highly recommended!

I lick my fingers... Very delicious. Until next time

Very, very good food with fair prices. We had ceviche, lomo salteado, ají de gallina and crema volteada. It was all delicious!

Great discovery in Cologne! We were thrilled, highly recommended!

Very tasty and authentic food from Peru, including ceviche and chicha morada. Very friendly service and very relaxed atmosphere!

How can it be possible that we waited for a long time in front of the door on Sunday (supposedly open from 2 p.m.) and had to leave because the restaurant was simply closed? There was a woman standing next to us who came specifically to Bonn and also left. Not really serious.

Excellent service, and delicious food...Exzellenter Service, leckeres Essen

Small place, with excellent Peruvian cuisine! It feels like they cook for you at home and the service is excellent. 100% recommended.

Very good traditional Peruvian food, unfortunately hardly any vegetarian options, but still extremely tasty.

The service and food was delicious, it reminded me of my Peruvian mother. Thank you!! 100% recommended

Authentic Peruvian cuisine! The ceviche and the sautéed loin are delicious! And the chicha morada is one of the best I have ever had. The prices are excellent. The place is small, run by its owner. It is worth visiting because the food is excellent.

I highly recommend the food, it's delicious and the staff is very friendly.

Real Peruvian restaurant. You feel like you are at home in Lima. After 10 years we finally found the best Peruvian restaurant in Germany A good reason to go to Cologne.

Tuve una agradable experiencia en Miguelitos, un sencillo restaurante peruano en Colonia con unas cuantas mesas y una modesta decoración peruana. La comida era sabrosa, pero la preparación tomó bastante tiempo. Sin embargo, es un lugar sencillo para aquellos que buscan disfrutar de la buena cocina peruana sin ningún lujo. El ceviche definitivamente vale la pena probar!

Excellent seasoning and excellent service, Mrs. Alicia very kind and affectionate. He made us a delicious Creole soup that took away the cold! The purple chicha and the turned cream uhmmm

Very good food and with quantity, all very good and very good service, I recommend the chicha morada to drink.

Peruvian restaurant with authentic cuisine. The dishes were great for the price and the nice owner served herself. The beef heart on a skewer was the best of all. Almost an insider tip!

The food is very delicious, but the service is very delayed, 1 hour for the food to arrive

Since I moved to Cologne, Miguelitos has been my #1 restaurant in the city. The food tastes like you're visiting someone's home. The owners and waiters have always been very, very friendly. I order ceviche almost every time I come over and it never gets boring. At Miguelitos you not only get to know delicious food, but also a piece of Peru's culture.

The best Peruvian restaurant in Köln. The food is truly wonderful, and authentic, like home. The dishes are always delicious, fresh. The owner and staff are very friendly. Full full full recommended!!

The food is very delicious. Everything was fine. I will return

If you like authentic Peruvian cuisine and otherwise have a relaxed lifestyle, this is the right place for you. It's just super delicious. Highly recommended.

We spontaneously looked for something near the main train station. Everything in the immediate vicinity was completely overrun. It was Gamescom Friday night. Peruvian had its charm. As the pictures show, it looks like a snack bar. The guest room is correspondingly small, comparable to a kitchen-living room. Tables and chairs are very narrow. Five of us found space at the only large table in the room. The owner immediately came to us, asked if we were there for the first time and began to explain how things work in her restaurant. Although she speaks German very well, we could hardly follow her. The place was relatively full and a bit loud at the moment, with Peruvian music playing on the television in the background. I gave chase after she left and had it explained to me again. There are boards with the dishes to the left and right of the counter. An X marks dishes that are currently not available. In front of the counter behind which she cooks there is a self-service drinks fridge. I studied the signs and chose three dishes for myself and my children that we could freely move among ourselves so that we could try them all. I also used Peruvian lager for all drinks, dark and light, as well as Peruvian Cola, which was the only exception that didn't go over so well, but was fun. My impression was yellow jelly, others compared the taste to chewing gum. The food was very good. I don't have a favorite now. Something was reminiscent of potato pancakes with minced beef, another was reminiscent of shredded chicken, another was reminiscent of goulash and another had something like rump steak in strips. I had the impression that portion sizes and price are related. It would also be noteworthy that potatoes often seemed to be part of the vegetable side dish. In any case, the owner is very friendly. The preparation was quick because everything was freshly prepared. I will come back when I'm in Cologne again. Maybe next year. It would be desirable for the space to be enlarged. As for toilets, we didn't feel the need, but would be a mandatory addition if not available.

Excellent presentation, exquisite food!!

Very delicious food, helpful and attentive. I will definitely come to try more of their menu.

Very unpleasant service; I entered with my baby's stroller when the restaurant was EMPTY and before even saying "Good morning," the woman serving scolded me in a very bad way saying that I cannot enter with a baby stroller because the restaurant is small. Obviously we left. Very unpleasant experience

Excellent Lomo Saltado! There is no loss very rich.

It is a small but cozy restaurant, the lady who I guess is the owner of, made us feel very welcome. The food was better than expected tasting Peru in every bite 🥰

The food was very authentic, the owner was very nice. We had to wait a bit, but everything was freshly prepared. Definitely recommended! 😊

Anyone who reads my reviews of restaurants will quickly realize that I always try to be fair. Why am I writing this? Because I really want to be fair here too. This review is still really negative. Service: Unfriendly! No real attention is paid to the customer. You order and then you are left to your own devices. In addition, you are not greeted politely when you enter the store. The first exchange takes place in a rather rude tone when it is pointed out that it is taking longer, even though the store was almost empty. We waited 30 minutes for the drinks. The food didn't come at the same time and only after 1.5 hours for 2 people. I didn't order a second drink (pisco sour) because the waiting time would have been too long. Ambiance: Old, not renovated, not really attractively decorated. Loud TV with tinny sound. Food: The ceviche was good. The rest was really unappealing. Kept very simple. It lacked complexity. The Pisco Sour at the next table was much better prepared. Prices: Unfortunately, the prices are high for the entire package. Alternative: I would suggest a visit to Tigermilch as a better alternative in Cologne. Prices are similar and the food is much tastier. From pisco sour to ceviche.

My companion and I ate here for the first time today. We chose the “Seco de Carne” dish. The service was very, very nice and sweet. There was also interesting Peruvian beer. Simply a lovely experience. We look forward to the next time!

Very bad and unfriendly service. Food was good three years ago but now it's not really edible. That has nothing to do with Peruvian cuisine anymore. When entering the restaurant, as a Spanish-speaking German, you are greeted with an unfriendly: "que quiere". In German: “what do you want”. The table wasn't clean and we waited a long time for the food. Because food costs as much as in an upscale restaurant, you get worse service than in fast food restaurants. And the food is a disappointment.

We arrived 20 minutes after opening and the waiter just said, "We won't be opening for half an hour." FANTASTIC! Authentically Peruvian!!! We ended up going somewhere else because we didn't feel like waiting, but the feeling was amazing! Keep it up!

Pequeño restaurante familiar con un trato muy agradable y con una deliciosa comida. Sabores puros y tradicionales. Platos generosos. El ceviche mixto y el lomo saltado estaban deliciosos.

Too expensive for the food’s quality they offer.

Potato cake with beef was phenomenal. The beef with rice was a little tough.

The best Peruvian rest in Cologne!!! The Tacu tacu is highly recommended

Great atmosphere, food was great and the service was very friendly.

Very good food and friendly environment! Recommend!

Amazing food and very kind staff! We had the ají de gallina and anticuchos to share and they were very delicious and filling. Overall great experience, just remember cash only!

I absolutely cannot agree with the reviews, maybe today was a bad day, I can't explain it any other way. We were in the restaurant for 3 hours, you can only feel sorry for the two older women who basically have to do everything themselves. That's why it takes so long. Tamales were good. The fish in the ceviche was of poor quality, press crab meat, 2 medium prawns, a clam, fish and 2 more mussels, appetizer sized plate for €29, nothing in terms of taste and nothing in quality either, I suspect a cost of goods of €5. The other dish was Lomo Saltado, which I couldn't eat, my wife ate it and vomited 250m after leaving the restaurant. I'm sorry for the bad review but for €150 including drinks, I can order 3 menus at Caruso Pastabar which is a Michelin Guide recommended restaurant. I have never been so disappointed with the price/performance.

The food was really great, very delicious!! I really enjoyed the flavor and variety of Peruvian dishes. 🇵🇪 And the dessert, flipped cream, reminded me of my childhood. The problems here are the following: The first problem is the schedule they manage, they are very spontaneous and disorganized. On two occasions I went to the restaurant, and it was closed even though they did not give notice in any way (neither on social networks nor in the same location). Second, you can only pay in cash. The third problem, and what most outraged and disappointed me, is the treatment they give to the customer. The last time I went, the lady who served me was very arrogant. Although the food is good there and I have highly recommended it before, since my last visit, I no longer recommend it. It's a shame that there is such bad service, and being compatriots.

I have waited for 45 mins to get my food. As I had to catch the train, my husband got it as take away. I even would not pay for it… Now I am travelling to the airport while getting starving!!!

The food is always freshly prepared and always very, very tasty. However, this also takes time. We often wait sometimes almost 2 hours for the food. The waiting time is also the only negative point. Otherwise everything was great!

Extremely delicious food, freshly prepared every time. So it can take a while before it's on the table at peak times, but that's just how it is when the food is freshly cooked. Really extremely tasty and absolutely recommended!

This place was a great find! We felt like at home. The atmosphere was very homely and the owner was welcoming and friendly. The vegetarian options were finished but the owner came to meet us by offering us a vegetarian alternative not on the menu. The food was delicious and the portions were generous, among other things at reasonable prices. Highly recommended! We will be back for sure, thanks.

Visiting Köln again from Berlin and we went to eat Peruvian delicacies at Miguelitos: Sea duo, stuffed potatoes, tacu tacu and anticuchos, with their respective purple chicha and then beers. Very rich everything and thanks for the kindness! We stayed at Miguelitos, it was much nicer there again! A small restaurant and recommended, for example papa rellena and anticuchos. Everything was delicious and the portions were appropriate. We'll be back!

Very tasty and authentic food from Peru! It's worth taking a look here! 100% recommended :-)

Terrible attention and service, I do not recommend it
