Bembos is a Peruvian fast food chain offering hamburgers, often with Peruvian-influenced variations.

Bembos was established in 1988, with its first restaurant opening in the Miraflores district of Lima. Bembos mixes spices into their meat, giving a distinct taste and appearance. As do other restaurants in Peru (even foreign ones), they serve ají (a pepper-based sauce) on the side. As their website states, they can be found all over the Lima area, including a two-story one on Caminos del Inca. They also offer home delivery.

• "La mejor hamburguesa y más" (The best burger and more)
• "Como Bembos no hay otra" (There's nothing like Bembos – literally: Like Bembos there's no other)
• "Definitivamente vas a volver" (Definitely you are going to come back)

The chain has 35 restaurants in 6 cities, mostly in Lima. In July 2007, it had opened a restaurant in the center of Cusco, becoming the first national or international fast food establishment in the city.
