Real Tamales 610 West Center Street, Provo, UT 84601

"I think the name is now Aji Peru. We went there on a whim for lunch after driving by it. The owner was super sweet and came and talked to us a few times and his staff was so nice as well. The food is AMAZING!!! They have food from Mexico, Peru, and El Salvador. Since we were just there for lunch, I got a tamale and pupusa, my husband got the Carne Asada tacos, and we shared a sweet tamale which we had never had before. It was all so delicious and I am upset that I didn’t take pictures of the food. You can tell it is made fresh with fresh ingredients. We’ll definitely come back to try the other food. They were people that were eating some of the Peruvian food and it looked delicious, but it was a lot of food and more than I could’ve eaten for lunch."

"Just stopped at this place on my way back to salt lake. And the guy up front was really nice. Explaining some things. Even came out and showed me the difference in the hot sauce. I haven’t had one tamale this year and I was excited to finally get some. Really nice place. Delicious food. And nice people. Definitely give it a try (:"

"This place is legit! They know how to make authentic pupusas!! I have been craving these all week and these hit the spot. My favorite is loroco but my boys like the ones with chicken or carne asada."

"This used to be a delicious pupusa place and luckily they still have pupusas. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy tamales but the pupusas here are even better than before. Come and enjoy!"

"A must try! I really enjoyed not only the food but the atmosphere of the restaurant. I love trying new places and was very happy with my experience. It was a cute family restaurant. I am big into pupusas and loved the one I tried. My dinner was well rounded with a Guatemalan tamale, a Mexican pambazo, and a Salvadorian pupusa. It was my first time trying a pambazo and I really loved it! We had excellent service. The owners came out and talked with us and checked in to make sure everything was delicious. They even brought us something we had left on our table! We will be going back again!"
