    Haven't have Peruvian food for a while and this place didn't disappoint. The staffs were very attentive. Restaurant was clean. Food was delicious! Definitely will be back to try other food on the menu.

    Papa a la Huancaina

    Papa a la huancaina is always my favorite appetizer, So good! Lomo Saltado always hits the spot!!! Seco a la Norteña had a great taste but beef was a bit tough for my taste! Overall place was great perfect for big families, only issue is plates are so big the table is a bit cramped. The waitress was very nice and attentive.

    The Peruvian food was pretty tasty. I liked most of the dishes. However, the fish in the ceviche was kind of chewy. Waitress was unable to communicate in English or Spanish and only spoke Chinese. The ambience is OK. The restaurant was kind of hot during lunch, and there were some mosquitoes.

    Stopped in to try this new peruvian place in El Monte. Food was excellent. I ordered Jalea and tallarin pollo. Jalea was nice & crispy even the mussel was slightly floured and fried. Sauce was creamy and tangy. Tallarin pollo was dark meat chicken with a slight wok hei on the noodles. Green sauce had a spicy kick w/ great flavor. Definitely will be back.

    Arroz chaufa good

    Where do I start?! The Arroz Con Mariscos and the ceviche were definitely my favorite! The ceviche was so flavorful and fresh. I love that it's made fresh so that they can customize it to no cilantro. The lomo saltado was delicious too. The owner was so nice and friendly he even gave us this circular chicken with egg sauce on top dish to try! Idk what it's called but definitely would come back again for it!

    Saltados- beef

    A quite hole in the wall along side of the superior supermarket. Came here Saturday evening right before closing, normally I don't wanna be "those people" but I went an hour and a half before they close I eat fast so I didn't think it was a big deal. No one was in there so even better. Kinda awkward greeting I wasn't sure if they were closed. The gentleman served me some iced tea and some corn nuts. And I ordered the ceviche mixto AND OMG WAS IT DELICIOUS that's all I needed to say I was sold, I'm so mad I didn't Try the leche de tigre but it gives me another reason to come back. The saltados was a perfect texture of meat I did enjoy that dish as well. It's clean. They seem sweet. I wouldn't say they ignored us but we were the only ones there and i had to get there attention to get the check to pay but other than that I'm coming back. Thank you chifa joy you were amazing

    Arroz Chaufa Mixto

    So happy Chifa Joy opened in El Monte! The food tastes authentic and homemade, with big portions that make it perfect for sharing. You can tell it's a family-run spot--the vibe is warm and welcoming. Definitely a new go-to for Peruvian comfort food.

    A lovely hole in the wall Peruvian place! Glad to see another one in the SGV and in a place like El Monte~ Food was very flavorful and delicious, it definitely hit the spot! Also, shout out to our server, he was kind and attentive to us. Would recommend coming here to try~

    Arroz chaufa de carne

    El Arroz Chaufa estaba requisimo, ordene de carne y llego en abundancia igual que el plato! Y la jalea tampoco decepciono!

    Jalea  perfectly cooked. Fish tender on the inside, crispy on the outside.

    Amazing food and great customer service. I ordered the Lomo Saltado and the quality of the meat was…read moreexcellent. The only recommendation I have is for the fries to be well cooked. They seemed bit undercooked. The Aji was amazing too... spicy but bearable. The staff is friendly, the location is a bit small and cozy but clean. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

    Food - sub par Service - slow & presumptuous…read moreAmbiance - hole in the wall & not a problem I had an intense craving for lomo saltado so came here because it popped up on Yelp. It was a hole in the wall and had relatively good reviews for lomo saltado so I had my hopes up thinking the food would be amazing. My chief complaint is that it took almost 30 minutes for my single order to come out because the kitchen was busy prioritizing to-go/delivery orders. Had I known this, I wouldn't have eaten inside the restaurant; I would've actually gotten it delivered. My next complaint is that no receipt was given as customer copy, and no itemized receipt when asking for tip. The total for this dish came out to almost $30 including tip, and the waitress/cashier didn't mention the lunch special at all. I brought it up to ask about it after I paid, to which she replied, "Oh, you probably don't want that cuz it's smaller. But it comes with a drink and soup." The fact that she assumed I wouldn't want the lunch special (when I'm there at lunch time) that would've been a much better deal at $17.99 and perfect portion size for me, and yet charged me for the regular dinner price was a bit presumptuous. It's also weird that they would ask for a tip (which I gave anyway) before I even received my meal. It's less about the price but the principle! But I was just hungry and needed to go to my next appointment, so I didn't argue, but again, the food took way too long to come out so I had to ask her about it after the 25 minute mark. Food came out after 30 minutes, and I had to get up and ask for the aji verde sauce when most restaurants usually serve it to you with the meal. The aji verde sauce which is really important to me to complement this dish, unfortunately missed the mark as well. I really missed Sol Inka's aji verde sauce that's well-rounded in every way. Lomo saltado should be balanced between the meat, tomatoes, onions, and fries, but it was definitely heavy on the fries with only two pieces of tomatoes. I would've preferred more meat too if it's the regular plate, but it felt like a fries dump. I wouldn't have had complaints if this were the lunch special order. Anyways, if you don't mind the headache & having to be extra proactive to get what you want, this is the place to be, but it's definitely not my cup of tea. $30 for a sub-par lomo saltado where well over half of it is fries does not sit well with me, considering I waited 30 minutes for my meal. Unfortunately, I'd just have to stick to Sol Inka for my regular Peruvian food fix, as the flavor is more robust there anyways. Oh, and Sol Inka also gives complimentary warm bread and butter, while there isn't anything like that here.

    Misky Misky is the Best Peruvian food in the San Gabriel valley…read more Their food, service, and friendly staff is consistent. My go to is their lomo saltado paired with an empanada. Their ceviches are also great - always fresh and full of flavor. Their aji is a must try & their arroz chaufa is also a fav of ours. If you're ever in the mood for authentic Peruvian food you gotta give Misky Misky a try!

    My daughter and I were craving Peruvian food. We chose Misky Misky Cocina Peruana for our lunch…read more It is a delicious and authentic Peruvian restaurant. There is an adjacent parking lot to the restaurant. The restaurant is spacious and has both indoor and patio seating. It has relaxing vibes. We ordered and paid first, then they give us a table number. Once we were seated, we got complimentary albondigas Soup. It was very savory and delicious. We ordered the following dishes for our lunch: Empanada de Pollo 5/5 It was fresh,flaky and filled with flavorful chicken. -Pollo saltado 5/5 It was juicy, tender and flavorful fried chicken cooked with aji amarillo, tomatoes, red onions, & french fries, served with seasoned white rice. - Tallarin saltado De Mariscos 5/5 seafood linguini pasta,squid, Calamari and shrimp, sauteed with red onions, tomatoes, ginger, green onions & cilantro. It had smoky, charred taste, complimented with savory and rich sauce. For dessert, we got Lucuma Ice cream. It is a popular Peruvian dessert. Lucuma is a subtropical fruit. I enjoyed the creamy, richness and unique flavor. The service was fast. Everything was outstanding, from generous quantity to flavorful dishes, to fast service. It is a must try authentic Peruvian restaurant.
