    1. Lomo Saltado
    Veronica R.

    The lomo saltado had good flavor , the green sauce was really good I poured it all over the rice and meat. We ordered ahead so we could sit and eat on my lunch break and it came out fast.

    44. Chaufa de Pollo

    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?

    Lomo Saltado not good no flavor
    Karina C.

    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.

    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 |

    lomo saltado
    Timmy S.

    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!

    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.

    Front( clean, plenty of parking)
    Graciela R.

    We arrived around 2pm on a Saturday, there was plenty of parking in the front. The restaurant was cleaned and we fast greeted by the staff, the restaurant is really spacious and the menu has a large selection. We order the lomo saltado and ceviche , everything came out in a fast efficient manner. Overall everything was very delicious and authentic. Highly recommend it.

    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.

    Ceviche mixto  Arroz con pato
    A C.

    This place never fails. Whenever we stop in LA this is a must. We just had a baptism and ordered arroz con pato, ceviche mixto, pollo a la braza and 2 different vegetarian dishes. Everything was a delicious as always specially with their house sauces. I would order again for our next get together.

    1. Lomo Saltado
    Tiara U.

    All I can say is WOW !!! This restaurant was amazing!!! The food is authentic Peruvian and taste just like home. We went here with our entire family and enjoyed every second. The atmosphere was fun, the service was fast, the food was incredible & you could tell it was made with love toast to the Chef and the owner, we will definitely be back on our next trip to California. We recommend please go try it for yourself you will love it!!!

    I waited nearly twenty minutes for them to take my to-go order, another 35 to get my food and was it worth the wait? No. Mediocre at best.

    Or last night and Buena Park Anahiem area. What a find!!!!…read more We were so happy with this place. Service was amazing place was beautiful. We felt underdressed. Everybody was to the nines in their attire. The hostess was so friendly and welcoming. She sat us on a high table in the outside patio area. We didn't even have reservations but she still managed to make it happen. Our server was great (Migel) as well throughout the whole night he had about like maybe six or eight tables still managed to serve our table in an orderly manner, orders take drink orders and maintain it throughout the whole time we were there for dinner. Food here is so next level... The beautiful cuisine to match, so so delicious. Latin flare is alive and well here they had a live band from Miami. It was a cherry on top. It was PERFECT Definitely will be saving this place for future visits when in the area! Great food, service impeccable, and establishment clean, and well presented. Thanks for all make this place special. We enjoyed ourselves me and my family.thank you Migel for making it great.

The ceviche was a little sweet, which was different, but still really good. The empanadas were good too, we had the beef so next time i want to try a different protein I got the chicken sandwich. Pretty simple, but really good. The fires were good, i like the shoe string ones. My coworker got the habanero salmon and I tried some of hers. I was expecting it to be spicy, but it really wasn't. I don't have a high spice tolerance and it was fine for me. Service was okay, but the restaurant was clean and modern. Prices were pretty reasonable too, especially nowadays. Overall, good food, reasonable prices and for sure somewhere I'd go back to

Been a customer for over 25 yrs. Gotta say the aji green salsa is still good. But not as good as it used to be. Same yummy rolls. Ordered my usual since we're only here a few times a year now. Back when I was working in Bellflower, I was here every Monday for lunch. Tried most things in the menu. Ordered: Ceviche mixto- tangy, not spicy unless you bite into the yellow habanero. Which was so large I thought it was a bell pepper! A mix of shrimp, scallop, squid, mussel & white fish. It's still a fav. Tallarin mariscos- pasta with mixed seafood in a soy sauce based sauce. Off menu and still very good. Lomo saltado- hubby ordered this. Said it was good as usual. Unsure about other comments regarding toughness of meats. Decor has changed a bit. Half wall divides length of restaurant. Possibly to create a sense of intimacy in this one large room. We will still come back. Not for nostalgia but because we still enjoy the food here. There's a possibility previous reviewers have a misconception about restaurant life. Not sure they've notice the price of groceries in general have increased. Most entrees $20 +. Similar to other restaurants. Gone are the days of $12-15 entrees. Realistically need to consider prices of gas too. Cuz foods arrive in trucks. Also finding and keeping good chefs/staff is hella difficult. Hopefully the owners can balance their skills amount three restaurants.
