At 1140 Camino Del Mar in Del Mar 92014, Coya Peruvian Secret is a women-owned Peruvian restaurant tucked inside a charming cottage draped in bougainvillea, serving lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch. Established in 2019, the restaurant earned recognition from Eater San Diego and San Diego's Best for its Latin cuisine, building a loyal following with over 1,200 Google reviews and a 4.5-star rating. The cottage sits a short walk from Beeside Balcony Del Mar on the same stretch of Camino Del Mar, giving the village two distinct destination-dining experiences within a few blocks. The menu centers on traditional Peruvian dishes reimagined with California ingredients, including raw bar ceviches made with the daily catch, the signature Lomo Saltado featuring a six-ounce filet mignon stir-fried with red onions and tomatoes, wine-braised short ribs, and slow-roasted pork belly. Seafood lovers seek out the squid ink risotto with mahi mahi, while lighter appetites gravitate toward the shrimp causa layered with aji amarillo mashed potatoes and avocado. Coya stands apart with 18 gluten-free options and full vegetarian versions of its most popular plates, including vegetarian ceviche, vegetarian Lomo, and vegetarian empanadas. The cocktail program leans into Peruvian tradition with pisco sours and chicha sangria, and the dessert list features lucuma flan, tres leches cake, and homemade alfajores filled with dulce de leche. Outdoor dining under string lights and colorful lanterns creates a date-night atmosphere that reviewers consistently praise, and live music on most Tuesday and Wednesday evenings adds to the ambiance. Patio heaters and dog-friendly seating make it comfortable year-round. Reservations are recommended, especially on weekends when dishes have been known to sell out. Coya also offers catering, a private dining room, and delivery through major platforms. Visitors exploring the Del Mar Village dining scene often pair a meal here with a post-dinner stroll to Sbicca for cocktails overlooking the coast.
