Tucked away at 25650 Aurora Road in Bedford Heights, Las Americas Mexican/Peruvian Restaurant offers something a little different from the typical neighborhood restaurant. The casual eatery shares its location with a Latin grocery market, allowing visitors to grab a meal and browse imported and specialty groceries during the same stop.
The menu covers plenty of familiar Mexican territory, including tacos, burritos, quesadillas, fajitas, steak dishes, chicken, and seafood. Tacos are served with onion, cilantro, lime, and house-made sauce, while burritos come with rice, beans, cheese, and sour cream.
What really sets Las Americas apart, however, is its Peruvian menu. Current offerings include dishes such as lomo saltado, a stir-fried beef dish, along with arroz chaufa, ceviche, anticuchos, and other seafood, chicken, and steak selections. Diners interested in exploring the Peruvian side should plan accordingly: the restaurant’s current online menu indicates that these dishes are offered Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Customer response is generally positive, with reviewers frequently mentioning the food, portion sizes, and service. As with any restaurant, experiences vary, and some reviews report inconsistencies. The setting itself is straightforward and casual rather than polished or upscale, with the adjoining grocery market adding to the experience.
For Bedford-area diners, Las Americas is particularly appealing because it offers two cuisines under one roof. Familiar Mexican favorites make it approachable, while the weekend Peruvian menu provides an opportunity to try dishes that aren’t as commonly found nearby.
Las Americas may be easy to pass by on Aurora Road, but its combination of Mexican food, weekend Peruvian specialties, and a Latin grocery market makes it an interesting local find worth knowing about.
