The Best Peruvian Restaurant

by SassyGirl at Citysearch

Do not dare compare it to El Pollo Inka!

Not even close. This place knocks EPI away.

Food is too die for.

I always eat way too much here.

Large portions and great value.

• Pros: Great Food, Service and Atmosphere
• Cons: None

Best Peruvian Restaurant This Side Of The Planet!

by rexii at Citysearch

I'm a regular in the Gardena location and they're always busy! I think this is proof that their food is good if not great! Their aji sauce is just amazing. Service can be slow at times which may be due to the fact that they're almost always packed (which is still no excuse though). But when the food comes, the sheer smell of it takes all my bad moods away. My favorite is the Lomo Saltado (beef strips sauteed with onions, tomatoes, french fries, etc.). I love how they put the right amount of cilantro on the dish -- not too overpowering. And the steamed rice is just perfectly cooked (al dente if you will)! If you love peruvian food, then this place is the right place. Parking is ample as it is located inside a strip mall of sorts. But don't take my word for it -- go and try the place out for yourself!

• Pros: good food, ample parking, great aji sauce!
• Cons: slow service when its packed but not too big of a deal to be concerned about.

I have had most things on their very large menu and I have to say that I've never been disappointed. This is a small and busy restaurant with a great and warm staff.

• Pros: Food, Ambience, Service
• Cons: None
