Don Juan V's Peruvian Sandwiches
A Taste of Peru in the Heart of Indianapolis
We are a family-owned Peruvian sandwich shop located on the southeast side of Indianapolis, between Raymond Street and Sherman Drive. Our mission is simple: to serve fresh, high-quality food prepared with love while providing every customer with warm, welcoming, and exceptional service.
We are proud to bring you some of the most authentic Peruvian sandwiches in Indiana, each inspired by the rich culinary traditions and bold flavors of Peru.
Some of our customer favorites include our crispy, deep-fried pork sandwich (Chicharrón), our tender and savory pot roast sandwich (Asado), and our all-time best-seller, the mouthwatering steak sandwich (Lomo Saltado).
We take great pride in hand-selecting our fresh produce and quality meats to ensure that every bite meets our standards. Combined with our crispy bread, fresh ingredients, and flavorful Peruvian salsas, every sandwich delivers an unforgettable explosion of flavors.
Whether you are discovering Peruvian cuisine for the first time or returning for your favorite sandwich, we look forward to serving you and sharing a little taste of Peru.
Authentic flavors. Fresh ingredients. Made with passion. ¡Buen provecho!
Our Story: A Passion for Peruvian Cuisine
We are often asked how a Mexican family came to share a passion for Peruvian cuisine. Our story began with 15 years of experience working as a cook in a pizzeria and a lifelong dream of owning a restaurant of our own.
Through a beautiful twist of fate, we crossed paths with the Tarazona family, who opened their hearts and shared with us the rich culinary traditions of Peru. We are forever grateful for their kindness, patience, and dedication in teaching us the art of Peruvian cooking. They stood by our side until they were confident that we had truly mastered the authentic flavors of Peru.
And yes, to everyone's surprise, we are Mexican! But we are incredibly honored and proud to share the delicious traditions of Peruvian cuisine with our community.
Peru has been celebrated around the world as one of the finest culinary destinations, and our dream is to bring a little taste of that extraordinary culture to your table. We love what we do, from preparing traditional favorites to exploring new dishes that we can proudly add to our menu, always using authentic Peruvian spices and flavors.
For us, cooking is more than preparing food. It is about honoring a culture, sharing traditions, and bringing people together through every dish we serve.
Thank you for being part of our journey and allowing us to share our love for Peruvian cuisine with you.
¡Con mucho cariño, bienvenidos a nuestra casa!
Our Family, Our Passion, Our Story
We are a family-owned and operated Peruvian restaurant built on love, hard work, and a shared passion for bringing the authentic flavors of Peru to our community.
I am the Chef, and together with our Manager, we continue this journey with the same passion and dedication we had when we first opened our doors. Although life has taken us on different paths, our commitment to our restaurant and our love for what we do have never changed.
Alongside us from the very beginning were our children, who were an essential part of the foundation that helped build our restaurant into what it is today. They have since grown, married, and started families of their own. While they may not be here every day, they still stop by to lend a helping hand, and they will always be a cherished part of our story.
Our restaurant is more than just a place to enjoy a meal. It is a reflection of years of sacrifice, perseverance, family memories, and a dream that continues to live on through every dish we prepare.
From our family to yours, thank you for being part of our journey, for your continued support, and for allowing us to share a little piece of Peru with you.
¡Bienvenidos a nuestra familia!
