If you're looking for REAL, authentic, soul warming Peruvian food with incredible flavors and even better people behind it, Asumare Peruvian Cuisine is the place!!! This was one of those dining experiences that sticks with you, and not just because the food was amazing, but because the hospitality made it feel like you were being welcomed into someone's home. We started with the Yuca Frita with Huancaína, and it was the perfect introduction to the menu. The yuca fries were fried beautifully, crispy on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside. The huancaína sauce was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. That yellow sauce had a subtle warmth and depth without overpowering the yuca. It was comforting, and impossible to stop dipping. Next up was the Lomo Saltado and woah this dish alone is worth the visit. We ordered it with ribeye and chicken thigh, and the combination was incredible. Everything was sauteed perfectly with onions, tomatoes, and cilantro, creating that classic savory, tangy, umami-packed flavor Peruvian cuisine is known for. The meat was tender and juicy, the vegetables were cooked just right, and the French fries soaked up all that flavor beautifully. Served alongside fluffy white rice, it was hearty, soooo satisfying, and incredibly well balanced. You could tell this dish was made with intention and experience. We also tried the calamari which was another solid hit. And a first for me! Lightly fried, tender, and not rubbery at all. It was clearly fresh and cooked properly. It paired really well with everything else on the table and made for a great shareable dish. But the real star of the night was a dish that completely surprised my partner and I! It ended up being our favorite dish, and it was the Tigre de Leche. THIS was hands down one of the freshest, most vibrant things we tried. The citrus was bold and super lemony, in the best way possible. You could taste the lime juice, the chile, onion, and cilantro all working together to create something bright, refreshing, and layered. It was zesty, slightly spicy, and incredibly clean tasting. One of those dishes where every spoonful wakes up your palate. If you're a ceviche fan or just love bold citrus flavors, do NOT skip this. It is a definite MUST try. Another thing that deserves a special mention is their iconic green sauce. It seriously went with everything we ordered. Creamy, herby, and just the right amount of kick, it elevated every dish from the yuca and calamari to the Lomo Saltado. We found ourselves reaching for it nonstop. Seriously one of those sauces you immediately wish you could take home. The customer service truly elevated the entire experience. Fabrisio, the owner, was phenomenal!He took the time to personally explain each dish, walk us through the flavors, and even share the story of how his restaurant came to be. You can feel the passion he has. Not just for Peruvian cuisine, but for creating a welcoming space for people to enjoy it. Super nice guy, super chill, and genuinely down-to-earth. The whole place gave off strong family vibes, which made the meal even more enjoyable. Shoutout to Melissa as well, who was serving us. She was attentive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever making us feel rushed. The service felt thoughtful and personal, not transactional. Over all we had the best experience, truly. Whether you're new to Peruvian food or already love it, this spot is a gem. We left full, happy, and already planning our next visit. We will be back and have already recommended this place to my family and friends! Thanks so much for having me. :D read more

Hands down the best Peruvian food in the valley! I highly recommend this spot. I've been to several Peruvian restaurants around here, and nothing compares. This is officially my go-to place. The flavors are authentic and outstanding. I was beyond satisfied, and my family loved it as well! read more

We went in a Friday after work. The place is next to the street and there's metered parking with 2-hour limit. (It's free after 6:00pm and on weekends, I think. Please verify.) we got the seafood tallarin, lomo saltado, chicken fried rice and the calamari. The place is small, and could seat 20 ppl. It was only us and a gentleman at another table were dining, but the entire time we were there, seven or so ppl came in to pick up their orders. Over-all the flavor of the food was great, but we will skip the calamari when we visit again. read more

I've had Peruvian food a few times before, so I was excited to have my mom try it on this occasion. She's very particular about her food. So I knew it would be a hard sale. The photos and reviews made Asumare look like a good choice. We ordered few things: Side salad - it was simple and came with a light lemon based dressing Pollo Saltado - Unfortunately the chicken was very dry and tough. The flavor was solid though Pollo Saltado lenguine - this was good, the noodles were covered in a flavorful sauce. But again it had the tough dry chicken Fried fish - The fish was light, flaky, and well seasoned. My mom thought it was fishy but I didn't feel that way. Neither of us are big fish eaters The food comes with bread and this yummy green sauce that tasted good on everything. It is spicy though for those who don't like spice you may want to avoid it. Portions are fair, with everything I ordered it was enough food for 3 adults and two kids. Parking is on the street. There is limited seating inside. read more

Found this hidden gem in San Fernando! The Lomo Saltado is very delicious, and the calamari with the red onion, and tomato mix super well together! I'm glad I gave it a try one day, and ever since have been coming back to get this meal. The service is great, and the staff is friendly. The owner has a great personality, and a great mindset. I like the atmosphere of the restaurant! read more

Needed a meal while in the area and had this place in mind for a long time. Small with a few tables but seated and served quick. Traditional bread served toasted lightly while entree prepared. Lomo Saltado was tasty, will ask for a little extra sauce though in future. House green salsa hit the spot. read more

This has by far become one of my favorite spots! It's a little small spot that you would easily miss in San Fernando if you weren't looking for it. Everyone working here is super friendly. Their ceviches are by far some of my favorite dishes on their menu! Get the Lomo Saltado you won't regret it! The green sauce is to die for make sure to get extra. read more

Very tasty and not expensive. I got the lLinguini De Carne (Tallarin De Carne). I added that 'green source ,' delicious! The passion fruit drink is really good. Went perfectly with the meal. Service was good, got there after 3PM on a Friday. Not too many customers but when we were leaving the hungry crowd started to show up. 5 stars read more

Solid food, service was acceptable, ambiance was home-like. We stepped into this 8 year old family-run operation with few expectations and walked away pleasantly surprised. The lomo and pollo saltado were good and had a home-made quality that we enjoyed. The ceviche de pescado was good, albeit lacking a little "punch" calamari was nicely crispy and paired well with the pickled red onion it came with. Service was fine. Lacked some enthusiasm but we got what we needed in a timely fashion. Ambiance was what you'd expect from a 4-5 table mom n pop joint. Soccer on the tv, mini-splits keeping the place cool, and a handful of regulars having their meals while watching the game. Good experience overall. read more

Husband and I had lunch here. It did not disappoint! It was a great food experience. Ceviche de Camaron is mixed with calamaris, fresh fish, sweet potatoes, corn kernels, topped with fresh onions. We also ordered lomo saltado and bistek apanado. I enjoyed the food! They were flavorful and one of the best places I have been. It's a small place by the San Fernando Downtown. The people are accommodating and the service is fast. 5/5 I recommend this place! read more

Been coming here for take-out off and on for a few years now when I want something much closer than my personal gold standard Machu Picchu in Van Nuys. The place is small but obviously well cared for. The staff is always pleasant. Never had an issue. We typically order the Lomo Saltado (beef with fries) and Tallarin Saltado (beef with noodles). Both are delicious! Highly recommend. read more

Asmara did not simply feed me, it redefined me. Each bite was a slow-burning revelation, the kind that makes you stare into the distance and whisper "wow" to no one in particular. I reached the last bite with equal parts joy and heartbreak. No leftovers, no notes, no flaws. I have been changed. If you need me, I'll be thinking about this meal and planning my return. read more

Review based off take out- absolutely love this Peruvian food place. First time I tried it my friend ordered from here as she lives close by. Was obsessed with the lomo saltado and ceviche as well. Fast fwd to now, I was craving some Lomo saltado and was heading over to her house. So I called in to put in the order and it was ready in 15 min or so. The place is pretty small and it's a little hole in the wall in the outdoor San Fernando mall. read more

Asumare - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - San Fernando, California

Every so often I do love myself a good Peruvian restaurant, I was very excited to find one that had pretty good reviews around the area. This place is located on a slightly busier street and parking is available only on the curb. They do not have their own parking structure and parking on the street is with coins at the meter. We had walked in and immediately we were seated as the restaurant was pretty empty. This is definitely a hole in the wall that serves authentic Peruvian. The menu was pretty easy to understand however there are no prices. If you are curious about pricing, I do recommend asking what the prices are before ordering. On average dishes range anywhere between $18 to $30. We got a good combination of different dishes to try and we're satisfied with all. My favorite dish was the Jalea mix. Everything was seasoned to perfection and included a good combination of fried fishes. As more of a hole in the wall, don't expect too much of this place in terms of cleanliness and service. Overall, the food was phenomenal and the service was quite all right. My review is as follows: - Food: 5/5 - Service: 4/5 - Ambiance: 2/5 read more

i've been WAITING to try this place for so long & so happy i did!! spoiler - went with a peruvian & he has given the authentic stamp of approval. ;p food: we ordered lomo saltado, ceviche, & yuca (yuca frita not pictured because we devoured it before the phone could snap a pic, sorry folks). the lomo was delicious & had generous portions of meat. well seasoned & juicy. ceviche was the right amount of tartness. fish was fresh & again, given generous shareable portions. yuca was hot & crunchy, crisp to perfection. parking: street parking only. service: service was fast, it was 1 person for the front & to take orders. indoor: the restaurant itself is fairly small with few dining tables. for some reason based on what i have seen on social media i thought it'd be a bigger place haha i would go back!! definitely in my top list of peruvian eateries !! read more

I Love To Stumble Onto Gems Of My City! If You're Looking For Peruvian Local Spot, Look No Further! The Inside Is Relatively Small So I Understand Why There's So Many To Go Orders! Definitely A Place For 2-3 People A Whole Family Might Need To Come At A Least Busy Time Or Take Home To Be A Bit More Comfy. Service Was Quick Easy And Friendly. The Lomo Saltado Plate I Believe Is The Most Popular (I Understand Why) So Simple Yet So Flavorful The Ribeye Is Cooked Perfectly And Paired Wonderfully With The Green Sauce Provided. The Fried Fish Surprised Me So Much! I Added Lemon Started To Eat With The Onion...OMG So Hot And Had A Really Nice Crust, No Fishy Taste! I'll Definitely Be Back Thank You So Much! read more

Delicious! Ordered the 2 Lomo Saltado plates, one with fried rice and one with white rice. Fried rice was really tasty. Potatoes were cooked perfectly. Food tasted delicious. Only thing would ask is match the prices listed on your menu with the actual price you charge. Also, we were given bottled filtered water without knowing that we are going to charged. But the adjacent table was given tap water, which we would have been happy with. Giving 5 stars anyway. read more

My favorite Peruvian food in So Cal. Been 5 times in the past few months. Ceviche is fresh and delicious, order with confidence. Lomo Saltado Is wonderful as well. Perfectly cooked steak, and they're very generous with it. Reasonably priced. They cater. Melissa is friendly and wonderful. We LOVE her!Such a great neighborhood spot. read more

Lomo Saltado is advertised as $12.25 but is actually $19.89. For the amount of food given I personally think it should be closer to $12 than $20 but that's just me. I did let the lady in the front know that the price advertised is different on here, hopefully they change that. Ordering over the phone order was quick and easy (business is Spanish speaking). Cute lil hole in the wall but smelled kinda like weed when I got there however could have been someone that got there and left before me. All in all I probably won't be ordering again mainly due to price and amount of food. Tastes good though. read more

It's always good! I've never been disappointed with any dish I've ordered here. This is close to my work so it's a treat for myself for lunch, or a nice surprise for my wife if I decide to pick it up on the way home. My wife is Peruvian so I value her input the most. She says nothing is going to be as good as "home" because we don't have access to the same ingredients (fair), BUT she ranks this the highest and best flavor compared to ALL the other Peruvian restaurants we've tried in the Los Angeles area. Let me put it this way, when I ask her if she wants me to pick up Asumare on the way home, it's always a resounding "YES!". The dining area is small. The staff is friendly. The food is great! This is an easy recommendation. read more

This place is absolutely delicious! The green sauce, HOT, but sooo good!, it goes great with your meal. Check this place out, if you like steak and potato, I'd suggest the top right corner meal on the wall menu I forget the name at the moment, but once you walk in the wall, top left corner . read more

The shrimp ceviche was delicious! It comes with lime juice *drool.*, nuts, and potatoes on the side of a scoop of shrimp. There were like 8-10 shrimp so it's a big portion. The restaurant is fairly small with a 3-4 tables and a small TV. Overall, the service was great. I will definitely be back. read more

OMG I will be dreaming about the Ceviche Mixto from now on. Almost cried tears of joy when I took the first bite of the sour flavor bomb of lime juice, onion, calamari, shrimp and fish. This is some of the freshest most satisfying ceviches I've ever had. We also got the Beef Lomo Saltado, Seafood Lomo Saltado, and the Fried Rice with Chicken. All the portions are huge and you will definitely leave satisfied. We barely touched the fried rice because we were so full (and probably wouldn't order that again). The flavors here are on point, and the staff is so friendly. They have 4 tables inside that can seat 4. Very hole in the wall authentic spot. Plenty of street parking out front. read more

Blink and you'll miss it. This restaurant is a hole-in-the-wall located at the end of the Old Town San Fernando strip (close to the Dodge/Jeep dealership). It is located between a boxing gym and a dental office. Note: Prices are different than found on the Yelp Menu. It's much more, something like $18 for a ribeye fried rice. The food is worth the price. They cook it and season it right. Delicious flavors, delicious wok char. Definitely a must try if you are in the mood for Peruvian food. read more

The best Peruvian food place in San Fernando !!! If you like peruvian food and are in a hurry this is the best take out. The fried rice is delicious, lomo saltado, tallarin saltado are all delicious.

I have always enjoyed Asumare, but after last night, it's officially off the list. Placed a phone order for two lomo saltados and picked it up as it was coming out of the kitchen, so I know it wasn't sitting around. Got home, excited to dig in, only to find that every single potato was completely raw felt like biting into an apple. Not just a few undercooked ones, but all of them. On top of that, the meat was tough and chewy. The rice was fine, and the green chili had good flavor, but that doesn't make up for the rest of the dish being inedible. Super disappointing, especially since this place has never failed before. read more
