About Us

Luis Rodriguez, the visionary chef and proprietor of Se Llama Peru, has transformed the heart of downtown Provo into a culinary destination that captures the rich flavors and traditions of Peru. Hailing from Peru, Rodriguez’s culinary journey in the United States began nearly 50 years ago. Despite initial setbacks in securing a culinary position without a degree, Rodriguez’s determination led him to earn a culinary arts degree at Utah Valley University.

Se Llama Peru has become a beloved establishment not only for its delectable cuisine but also for the warm and inviting atmosphere curated by Rodriguez. His commitment to customer satisfaction is unwavering, evident in the personalized experiences he crafts for each visitor. Whether it’s the iconic Lomo Saltado, refreshing Ceviche, or the savory Barbecue Chicken, every dish tells a story of Peru’s culinary heritage.

The restaurant’s ambiance is a testament to Rodriguez’s dedication, featuring vibrant murals portraying the landscapes of Peru. Beyond the culinary delights, Se Llama Peru serves as a cultural bridge, bringing the traditions and warmth of Peru to the heart of Utah.

Rodriguez, fueled by his love for the culinary arts and inspired by the positive reception from his loyal customers, contemplates expansion into three additional cities. With an eye on locations like Park City, he envisions sharing the authentic taste of Peru with even more eager palates.

Se Llama Peru is not just a restaurant; it’s an embodiment of Luis Rodriguez’s passion for exquisite cuisine, dedication to customer satisfaction, and a celebration of Peru’s cultural legacy.
