El Causa

I hadn't been to Hayward for about four or five years, and I felt like eating at a dimly-lit bar where I can hear a lot of swearing, so i went to look for a kooky old steakhouse I really enjoyed then. Sadly it was gone, but I'm not sad...because I subsequently discovered the home-style Peruvian gem of El Causa.

Well, let me say that El Causa delivers. The owners are really helpful, friendly and made a suggestion for this chicken and beet rice bowl that was amazing. The chicken was so uniquely delicious it was gone too fast! Their Ceviche is right up at the top of any I can recall having. Outstanding.

I can't wait to be able to make my way back...hopefully it's not another five years!

Authentic Peruvian food, love the ceviche and seafood rice, as well as the typical drinks. I wish I lived nearby so I could try every item they have. Totally reminds me food I had in Peru. What a nice surprise!

Today I went to El Causa and both the ceviche and aji de gallina I had were absolutely amazing. Every spoonful brought back memories from home -- that's how authentic the food tasted. The fish in the ceviche was really good and cooked to perfection with the lemon juice. The aji de gallina was so creamy and had a little kick to it but very mild. But what stood out the most to me was the service. Both the owner and his wife were very friendly and even surprised me with a little sample of one their dishes (pollo al horno), which was soooo tasty. If you are looking for authentic Peruvian food, look no further and go to El Causa.
