La Huaca

Located in the heart of Roseville, La Huaca is a vibrant Peruvian and Nuevo Latino restaurant that masterfully celebrates the rich flavors of Peru’s coastal and highland culinary traditions. This inviting spot specializes in seafood and traditional dishes, delivering an authentic taste experience that transports diners straight to the shores of Lima and the Andean mountains.

Guests are drawn to La Huaca’s carefully curated menu, which boasts standout dishes like the creamy and comforting Aji De Gallina, the tender and succulent Lamb Shank, and the refreshingly zesty Ceviche de Ají Amarillo, which is gluten-free and bursts with Peruvian chili heat balanced by fresh, bright citrus. Another must-try is the Lomo Saltado Mar Y Tierra, a vibrant surf-and-turf stir-fry that expertly blends beef and seafood with Peruvian spices. For those seeking hearty, gluten-free options, the Seco de Cordero Con Frijoles and Tacu Tacu a Lo Pobre offer robust flavors packed with traditional comfort.

On the lighter side, their salads are not simply afterthoughts but thoughtfully composed plates such as the Caesar’s Mango, which combines crisp romaine with a tropical twist, and the zesty Solterito de Quinua – a quinoa salad bursting with fresh vegetables, olives, and panela cheese, perfect for a refreshing start to any meal.

La Huaca also excels in its appetizers, especially the Yucas Rellenas, featuring golden, crispy yucca croquettes stuffed with mozzarella and served alongside a tangy Huancaína sauce that perfectly complements the richness. Pair these with their Peruvian-style paella, Arroz Del Pacífico Sur, for a truly satisfying seafood experience.

Beyond the appetizers and mains, La Huaca’s soups such as the Chupe de Camarones and Chupe Mixto chowders impress with their creamy textures and harmonious blend of shrimp, mahi-mahi, Andean herbs, and Peruvian corn, topped with a delicate fried egg – an absolute comfort in every spoonful.

The atmosphere at La Huaca is lively and colorful, featuring décor that pays tribute to Peruvian culture through thoughtful cultural references that enrich the dining experience. While the energy is dynamic, it can lean towards being bustling, making it ideal for social gatherings or festive occasions rather than a quiet night out.

Customer feedback consistently highlights the friendly and attentive staff as a key element of the experience. From newcomers to aficionados, the team’s helpful guidance ensures each visit is both enjoyable and memorable. Diners appreciate the freshness and authenticity of the dishes, noting that each bite tells a story of Peru’s diverse culinary heritage.

For dessert, the delicate Crème Brulee De Chirimoya offers a creamy, tropical finish, while the traditional mazamorra morada – a purple corn pudding slow-cooked with fruit and cinnamon – provides a sweet, nostalgic end to any meal.

Whether visiting for an elegant dinner, a festive lunch buffet, or a special family celebration, La Huaca in Roseville promises a genuine and flavorful journey through the best of Peruvian cuisine, leaving guests with vibrant memories and a craving to return.
