We ordered Aji de Gallina and it was so far the best I've had. We also ordered Pescado Saltado and the flavor was perfect. Service was friendly and prompt. We also had chicha, very refreshing. The place was packed but we found a table right away. It was in a Sunday so we expected a long wait but we found a table rather quickly. Parking was easy for being in the Cerritos mall vicinity. Best Peruvian food around

Glad I went to try this place out. For context, I took my grandma out to lunch on a Sunday afternoon. The place wasn't very big and located in a strip mall with lots of other eateries so the parking wasn't super easy. Nonetheless, our wait was minimal (8 minutes max), and we were eager to try Peruvian food. I had been years ago to Don Felix, I think it was called, near Silverlake many years ago. That was my only comparison for Peruvian food. The server was great with helping us choose and explaining the various dishes. Warm bread and butter are brought to the table. We ordered lomo saltado and carne a la pobre (I think) plus an anticucho de pollo. To drink, we got the sangria and the agua de maracuya. The flavors were all very tasty. Prices are up everywhere. For an appetizer, two beverages and two plates it came up to close to $100. I wouldn't come here on a date per se, but it's a nice place to go to with a friend or your family. Seating is a little tight seemingly to try to get more people in.

It's a good spot to eat. Good food but lately the flavor has been dull on my seafood saltado. The squid doesn't seem to have any taste and the scallops have been somewhat overcooked. I'll be going back in a while. Maybe they'll fix it. Ambience is nice. Not too crowded. Service is pleasant.

Still my go-to Peruvian restaurant. Ok this is my birthday dinner spot. Over many years my family has come here because NO ONE COMPLAINS! My husband, son, friends & family all enjoy the food here. Over the years I've tried most of their dishes. The fried fish, lomo saltado, ceviche, papa huaccaina, fried chicken, seafood,etc. It's all very good. The free appetizer rolls with red & green sauce is killer. I usually order an 16oz of the green to take home. I've tried 10-15 recipes, and it's just not the same. Yes I purchased the aji huacate,etc. The sauce is GREAT. But don't fill up one this! The papas huacaina is really good. Very slight spice. Creamy cheesy sauce with boiled potatoes. Yummy. Had an off menu item, Tallarin mariscos. Seafood pasta. Shrimp, scallop, fish filet, squid sautéed with onion, tomato, onion & soy sauce(?). It's the "chica" Peruvian style. This is SO good. They deleted it from their menu years ago but will still make it upon request. Hubby had Lomo Saltado. Another standard yummy Peruvian dish. Kind of the Japanese "teriyaki chicken" of Peru. All Peruvian restaurants will have this. It's done really well here. Plus he likes the idea of added French fries. MIL had the rib eye. Another stellar dish. If you'd like to try something different, give El Roccoto a try. They never disappoint. The only draw back is parking. Located adjacent to Target in South & Gridley. LOTS of restaurants in the area east of Target within the same parking block. They're just always busy. But I gotta tell you,cruise around a couple times & a space will be available.

After two decades of being a loyal customer, my apologies for the delayed review - blame it on my love for their food! Without fail, I always order the pescado macho; its delightful flavor is thanks to the savory aji Amarillo cream sauce. A seafood extravaganza with shrimp, calamari, octopus, mussels, all crowned with a crispy fish filet - definitely a must-try! The Lomo Saltado is a Peruvian classic that never disappoints. To kick things off, they serve warm bread with two fantastic sauces. My personal favorite is the red, while my mom swears by the green - we love them both equally. The recent remodel is stunning, and the staff matches the beauty. A heartfelt thank you - I'll keep coming back for the delicious food and quality service!

Definitely a go to! My girlfriend and I came here for dinner and drinks. The appetizer was so fantastic! The seafood was delicious. We ordered mojitos and it did not disappoint! The service was a bit slow but it was a busy Friday night, but overall the server was extremely friendly. The place itself is super cozy and very cute decor. We will definitely be coming back for drinks and some dinner.
