    We made a reservation but the place was pretty empty. The first round of food took a while to get there but once it came, everything was delicious. It’s a nice spot, too, with a good vibe for families but also could be a nice date spot. We went with another family of four, so eight total, and everything came in (with tip) under $500. I’ll come here again!

    We went there for lunch but were told that the lunch menu, which was posted online, wasn't available and that we had to order from the dinner menu. Not wanting to order a dinner entrée we ordered a couple of appetizers which weren't what we really wanted. We previously have had dinner at Callao which we enjoyed and looked forward to lunch, only to be very disappointed.

    Callao is a relatively recent addition to the food scene in Los Altos, CA. This Peruvian restaurant is a true gem, offering traditional and comforting specialties from Peru. The traditional ceviche was perfect, the meat empanadas were delicious, and the Seco de Cordero was a fantastic discovery. We topped it off with Picarones, which were fluffy and scrumptious. I highly recommend this restaurants.
