Im stopping mid meal, plate in hand to post this. I was looking for some good chicken near me and was led here. I got the picante de pollo and it is absolutely FANTASTIC. The flavors are deep and robust and the plate is very hearty. Taste like somebody grandma made this for me personally. Will definitely be back

Let me tell you about this place! They are top-notch scammers. They hide the prices from the menu … every time you ask for a price for a meal they give you a different answer. After I say something about it, instead of apologizing they try to say that I was the one being disrespectful and rude. Never in my whole life I have had an experience like this. They are unprofessional, disrespectful, and they have poor customer service … NEVER GO TO THIS PLACE! Sad to see a Peruvian business operating in this country as they do in some parts of Peru! SCAMMING people!

This place is in a strip mall area and if you didnt know you would miss it. I had Pollo con mixed vegetales. They brought chicken soup and small bread rolls prior to our meal. So tasty! Very good and friendly service. Love the Salsa music too! (Not a band, just music over speaker) Id definitely go back

This place is family owned by El Salvador family who cooks great Peruvian food. Ill definitely say the flavors are 100% as you expected by a Peruvian chef. Im so glad we found this place in our trip to LA. The owners son is very friendly and caring about peruvian cusine. It makes the visit very special.

The rotisserie chicken is delicious.However some of the other items such as the soup, beans and rice not much flavor. The rice was slightly undercooked.And a small cup of soup was missing.I paid close to $50.Try the rotisserie chicken.......tasty !✌

1st The food is absolutely wonderful. 2nd It is nice & clean. 3rd The service is great.The Vainita de pollo was delicious. The chicken was very tender & flavorful. The lomo saltado was also delicious. The salsa de huacaina was on point. This place is a hidden gem. If I could give it 20 stars I would.

2018-08-26 05:23:28

This place is like being in a casual restaurant in South America, very nice and polite service. If you havent tried Peruvian food, you have to and this place is not expensive, you get much better quality food for a couple bucks more than what you would pay for fast food. Would have given it 5 stars in its category but 4 because the soap dispenser was empty in the bathroom, the waitress was apreciative and somewhat embarrased when I told her, shows me they care and it was an oversight or it just got emptied by the user before me. Look forward to going back.

The Pollo a la Braza they served did not have the correct peruvian style favor, also was to small and day, definately needs a lot of improvement in order to be called Pollo a la Braza Peruvian Flavor and style.Their Saltado de Pollo was delicioso.

2021-09-12 06:44:19

Good food. But honestly a bit different from the original Peruvian taste. Im Peruvian. Things had a little different twist. Not a big fan but still not bad.

Review №27

2022-12-01 17:10:08

The mariscos were good but the pollo saltado was definitely below par.

Review №28

2021-04-12 05:30:51

Great food. A friend had a get together at his house and when I tried the chicken I had to ask where it was from. It tastes better than other peruvian restaurant nearby.

Review №29

2019-01-28 00:14:55

I give it three stars only because their customer service is horrible the food is quite good though Ive went there multiple times and that is the only reason why Ive returned is because the food is good but anytime you place an order they always get it wrong check your order before you take it home even when youre in the restaurant they still get it wrong multiple times they never write nothing down none of the waiters write anything down but they can never remember what you ordered if you tell him you they got it wrong to have an attitude with you there I just ordered some food right now order double rice no salad guess what it has salad no double rice and my son has no rice to eat do I order double rice cuz he doesnt like salad hes four so double-check your orders maybe even triple check

A for effort on the Peruvian food since I read that the chef/owner of the restaurant is not from Peru.. I thought the food was edible, but not gonna lie I was a bit disappointed.

I only chose to go to this place because it was closer than Inka Wasi, which is up the hill from where I live. Let me say, Inka Wasi is WAY better! In my mind theres no comparison! The food was ok but I will not be going back. Sorry.

I wanted some Peruvian food without going to Torrance (i live in wilmington). I saw this hole in the wall place (doesnt look like its ready to be opened). The food is almost exactly like El Pollo Inka!!!! So yummy

They have good flavor but its not the perfect Peruvian flavor. Still very enjoyable.

Review №41

Great place, cant get past the chaufa mariscos to try anything else. Much better than Inka but compares to Imperial but the green sauce here is the tops!

I bought a whole chicken and they gave me salad 🥗 rice and sauces..But the salad was in very bad condition... I wish the person who served the salad had eaten it herself 😡

Review №121

2023-04-03 00:41:17

We wanted to try something new and we came out with a bitter taste, the food had nothing to do with the Peruvian flavor☹️ the food and the waiter were terrible. I ordered a glass of passion fruit and it was ruined. I told the waiter that it smelled and tasted ruined and he told me that it couldnt be changed and that he was going to ask his manager why they werent changing anything. Until the waiter tried it and told me that he wanted to vomit that it was ruined. What service is that? The horrible ceviche looks good but it doesnt taste like lemon, the huancaina didnt taste like a can. Horrible taste in my mouth. The food left me wanting to vomit.

Review №124

2021-10-03 00:58:21

Honestly disappointed, I expected something else but it was terrible. I ordered grilled chicken and the flavor was good as were the fries but the rice (unnecessary that they put on my plate was inedible, they were pieces of rice) and the salad was disgusting, the lack of cleanliness was noticeable, I found something black between the lettuce that looked like a piece of soaked cochayuyo or something similar. Honestly, they make Peruvian food stand out 😞 I wont go back and even less recommend it!

It is the best restaurant where the food is flawed and the personalized attention makes you feel like you are at home.

Review №128

2018-09-09 19:52:57

I love the delicious food in this place, everything is delicious, the only reason I dont give it 5 is because they take a long time to make the food, another thing I dont like is that there isnt even soap in the bathroom.

Review №129

2022-12-28 21:37:26

The delicious food, the good service, they are on the lookout and they give you the complimentary bread rolls, what it lacks is the presentation and cleanliness of the place in general, the bathroom, possible uniforms for all those who attend, although they are details, because the most important thing is the seasoning and the affection with which they serve you.What if, it happened to them and it is dangerous, is that in the Ají de Gallina Plate that I ordered, there were small chicken bones, which should not be there since the Chicken in that dish is frayed, and there should not be any bone, no matter how small. They should be careful about that, for the children more than anything.

The lamb meat was too salty and the rest of the food had no flavor, the juice was very very sweet. I know they can improve but dont count on me anymore.

Today I visited the Peruvian Chicken after a couple of months, I have been coming since 2016, and the truth is that I am very happy that despite the partial closure time due to the pandemic, the food is still very delicious and with attractive prices for any pocket, and the attention remains intact towards your diners. I hope to return soon and continue enjoying their ceviches, jellies, loins and delicious picarones, the truth is 100% recommended. Chimpum! Shut up!

I was eating my lomo saltado... and I opened the soup and it had a fly... when I go to tell the manager... he tells me a story. As long as I stay quiet. And he didnt do anything... I told him that I was going to put it on the website... and he didnt like it... he told me that he was going to give me a bigger soup... so that I would forget the past

The food ranges from average to good. I suggest that the guy serving take note of what he is ordered to improve his customer service.
