Great food, great people! We came to celebrate my mother in law and it was amazing! I highly recommend this place (:

My husband and I always passed by this place on our way home, and today we decided to stop in and give it a try. The food was delicious! We ordered the Jalea and the Chaufa Mixta, and the prices were very reasonable. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the quality of the food. Our waiter never came back to refill our drinks or check on us during the meal. We had to look for him just to get a to-go box and our check. While we really enjoyed the food, the lack of attentive service took away from the overall experience read more

Service and food was amazing. Definitely coming back. First time and inwas not disappointed

Too pricey and the service was very poor the waitress not even came once to ask if we need anything, and the food wasn't the greatest I will never come back to this place. read more

Chef Hornero Peruvian Restaurant Bar - 1. Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Bellflower, California

Ordered lomo saltado and chaufa de pollo. No customers inside so it's not like the kitchen was slammed to make a bad meal. This food was terrible, better food down the street at ceviche 6 9. $25 for lomo saltado with some rubbery meat? This place looks like a front business. How could it even be open with this terrible food? read more

Smells like shit, and also if you order online they start making your food when you arrive to pick up not before I came to pick up something and the guy working there had the audacity to start cooking when I order 30 minutes before I arrived read more

My first time eating here as Peruvian myself i was expecting a good Lomo Saltado no way first and last the meat was ugh no flavor at all... I ate because I was hungry but will never recommend it... I put one start just because the customer Service is amazing and the girls are very nice... The parking lot is very big no problem there and the restaurant looks cozy has stage for music and show. The bathroom needs a good decoration and cleaning. read more

Got the rotisserie chicken and it was dry and doesn't fall off the bone sadly. Parking is plenty but price was high and service was good. Would like to come back and try other entrees but I would skip the rotisserie. read more

I went at a time where they had karaoke without knowing and the music was a bit loud to have a conversation with your party. It seemed that the other guests where having fun since that's what they are there for. read more

Great ambiance. Kareoke is fun but volume is too loud to carry a conversation with anyone at your table. There is no actual bartender which would be a HUGE plus. It's the busboys/waiters ( there were only 2 and 1 was doing most of the work) That are multitasking including making/serving drinks. It looks bad when the restaurant doesn't have an actual bartender and bar back. Glasses, bottles all piled up on the bar gives it an unesthetic look. read more

Chef Hornero Peruvian Restaurant Bar - Peruvian Near Me - Bellflower, California

Chef Hornero is a Peruvian restaurant in Bellflower, CA, at the northeast corner of Woodruff Ave and Rosecrans Ave. Good thing I finally tried it (1/8/21) after driving by it 500 times. *me rolling my eyes at myself* ENVIRONMENT This is definitely a restaurant I want to go back to when we can dine once again. It's got a very mi-casa-is-su-casa vibe that I like. But until then, COVID-19 restricts us to just a very tiny area blocked off for ordering at the window inside and for picking up takeout orders. SERVICE The nicest and most efficient in the area. You can tell this is a family restaurant. Love it. MY FAVORITE PART... The flavors from that lomo saltado. I didn't want to stop eating it! I envisioned what it would be like to have four stomachs like cows do, then I quickly slowed down my pace so I wouldn't look or feel like any bovine species the next day. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... I'm sure you can see the prices online or through an app, but once inside the lobby area, there are no prices listed on their wrap-around, wall-to-wall menu. I yearned for some vegetables in this lomo saltado that other restaurants in the area tend to incorporate. I had one piece of a tomato and a few thinly sliced onions. THE GRUB Try the lomo saltado ($18.60 including tax). The steak was tender, juicy, and very flavorful. The potatoes, er I mean, thick fries, were not half bad. There was plenty of nicely cooked white rice. The green sauce was provided in a small bag tied together much like a bag of frosting a baker would use to decorate a cake. I snipped the end off with a pair of scissors and was happy with the awesome spicy kick, but I wanted more by the end of my meal. Not quite the portion I was expecting at that price. Food takes about 15-20 minutes to be ready when you order in person. PARKING Free, but minimal in a shared lot with other nearby businesses including a Jack-in-the-Box. TIP Current Yelp checkin offer is for 20% off of your final order. OVERALL I can't wait to actually dine here and try other Peruvian fare. | Food: 4 | Service: 5 | Environment: 4 | Price: 3 | read more

Chef Hornero Peruvian Restaurant Bar - 1/8/21 - Peruvian Near Me - Bellflower, California

I was running an errand in the area and stopped in to pick up lunch to take back to work. They had a take out window just inside the entrance where I ordered the ultimate Peruvian comfort food - lomo saltado - and a can of Inca Kola as my beverage choice. It took less than ten minutes to prepare and the kind woman behind the counter who took my order ran out to open the front door for me so I wouldn't have to juggle my food & drink while reaching for the door handle. The container they provided kept the food hot until I opened it 20 minutes later. The flavorful beef was tender and the thick slices of potato were hot & soft. I much prefer lomo with thick fries like this rather than thin ones; the thin ones get mushy from the soy sauce. There weren't many tomato slices but plenty of onions. The rice was "okay" - I didn't eat much of it because the potatoes always fill me up. The aji sauce (green sauce) provided in a separate container was much too hot for me (probably the hottest I've had at a Peruvian restaurant) so I barely used any. But then again, I'm a wimp when it comes to spicy stuff. I've tried many plates of lomo saltado both in the States and on my half dozen trips to Peru. I'd say this is definitely above average in quality and taste in comparison to other Peruvian restaurants in the U.S. but also above average in price. 3.5 stars! read more

One waitress for all tables. Food not fresh. Men's restroom had a bad sewer smell. Owners son charged me $15 more for an item I didn't consume, told him to check he's camera. On my receipt that $15 charge was stated as "corcho" which means stupid in Peru. read more

Deliciosa la comida peruana en este lugar el ceviche bomb excelente servicio ambiente familiar 100%recomendado

Visited this place today at around 4:30. The place looked closed. When we walked in it was very dark and empty. A lady quickly greeted us, turned on the lights and sat us down. Felt odd. I ordered the limo saltado. Meat was a bit tough. The plate was $20 which I thought was pricey for the location, ambiance and quality. Expect to pay for water too. And no a/c. I would not recommend read more

Lunch adventures with my coworker continues! We came here for lunch last week. It is pretty depressing, dark, décor. Not a very inviting place. But, our hostess/waitress was very friendly. I stuck with my usual Lomo Saltado, and my coworker had Pollo Saltado. She got the lunch special that was served with a salad. She liked that the salad was served dry and she was given a container of dressing to apply herself. She said the salad was good. Before any of the food arrived, we were given two rolls. They didn't seem very fresh, and they weren't all that tasty. The aji sauce here was very jalapeno tasting and was more hot than flavorful. I wasn't too impressed with the bread and sauce. The food took close to 25 minutes to come out, and there were only two other parties in here. It looked good, and it tasted good as well. Not great, but good. The seasoning on my saltado was fine, and the rice was tasty. The quality of the beef wasn't very high. I also had their fresh melon juice, which was good, but super frothy. Probably won't rush back here, if anything I might order it to go. read more

After months of driving passing the neighborhood gem I decided to try and got the combo # 4 which included a whole chicken fries and salad. The chicken was amazing, full of flavors and juicy.

My first time here. Im not Peruvian but have been to many Peruvian restaurants. I had the lomo saltado the meat was tough ok in flavor. The chaufa mixta meat was also tough some a bit burnt. Service was bad only two people working but not that many customers. Had to flag one of them down 3 times to get our check. Would not recommend at all. Wish i could fine a Don Felix type restaurant near by. read more

The service was ok but the food was not good restaurant is not the best is ugly and dirty

Had the Chicken Milanesa for lunch one day, and I must say it was not bad at all... The chicken was cooked well and had great flavor, also the Aji was great too! Probably my favorite part of the meal.. I tried to order Picarones but for some reason they said they didn't have any available.. Oh well Better luck next time read more

It was the first time I saw French fries cooked into a dish that wasn't a sandwich. A dish with French fries and chicken cooked together? Yes. Everything should have French fries cooked into it. The world would be a better place. The saltado pollo or what I call "fries with chicken" was good. Disclaimer: I have nothing to compare to and it was my first time having Peruvian food. It comes with rice. I got to try the aji de gallina from someone else's plate and it was more rich than the saltado pollo but still tasty. They serve warm bread with a creamy green sauce before the meal. The bread had a crunchy crust with soft innards. Service was on the slow side and was weird when our drinks came after all the food had arrived. Drinks should always be the first to arrive. The server was sweet regardless. And the decor sucks. It's... rustic, in a bad way. It seemed like the type of restaurant/bar that would be in a small town in central California. I wouldn't want to dine in again unless they renovate the place, but I would order take out. read more

Love their food:) really good like awesome if you need something to fill you up all the way:)

:( The number 3 combo sucked. The chicken was so dry . It felt like sand. I had to fill up on fries :( Presentation was nice but taste was so bad. My sister said there's another Peruvian resturaunt on Firestone blv named Fernandos, its supposed to be really good. Sorry El Hornero for the review. Hope you guys see these reviews as an eye opener and improve your food. read more

I have dine in at this Restaurant Long time ago. I never knew there was a yelp site. Now, I i know i will leave a review and my honest Opinion. as a peruvian I have tried some of the appetizers, and an entree Lomo Saltado; and i found it very original. a little bit of a wait but it was worth it. I like to support Peruvian Restaurants the ones that work hard for the Original peruvian flavor. If I am in the area one day i will go back. Due of my work schedule, and life change there's not enough time for me to go in the area. As i said if i am around there I will go back. read more
