Best tallarin verde I've had at any Peruvian restaurant I've been to. The green sauce was filled flavor, the pasta was moist, and flavorful. Super clean establishment. Service was fast. One of the other things I enjoyed was their Maracuya (passion fruit) drink. Usually at other Peruvian restaurants, they serve a small portion, but here it is served in a big glass cup (about 18-20 oz). I recommend having their papa rellena as an appetizer. read more

Cuzco's Peruvian Restaurant - Peruvian Near Me - La Habra, California

Ground beef empanada 10/10 - that green sauce tho! 12/10! Their shrimp sauce was amazing over rice. My husband loved the fried red snapper. I wasn't a fan. Overall quick and friendly service. Outside patio seating available. It's a small venue, not really ideal for larger groups. Gave it 4 stars because they sauce was fire!!!! Definitely worth a try. read more

Wonderful service and a very welcoming atmosphere, ordered the tallarín saltado con carne and it was hands down the best I've had in all of Orange County. They make it properly there (and if you pick the right seat you get a perfect view of the kitchen) and their house sauces are delicious. Also very good prices for their high quality! read more

I wish I would've taken photos, but presentation was beautiful, my lomo saltado was delicious, full of flavor. I also ordered a side of plantains which hit the spot. The mystery green hot sauce was an explosion of deliciousness. Service was attentive and not stuffy. Ambiance was quiet before dinner rush read more

Went here because we were craving Peruvian food and wanted to try something new. Negatives: -price, for the location size and environment I was not very happy about the price. With gas going down, eggs going down, and inflation going down I was a little disappointed with the high prices. Positives: -taste, the food was good, we enjoyed our rice and the seafood plater. The shrimp was a little salty, but the sauces were very good. -service was quick and responsive Food prices in California are ridiculous.... Because of how much I'm being charged I will be extra picky at every place that I eat at in California. I've been to many different restaurants in different states that charge you less for better food and better service. Even Hawaii charges less for great food, and they're on an island. At some point these high prices need to stop because they are unjustified. Besides my rant, that's not a complaint about this restaurant just California in general, I will give an overall 4/5. read more

Was in the mood for Peruvian and found this place on Yelp. It's a casual Peruvian restaurant in a strip mall with many other restaurants. Despite being casual, it felt a bit more elevated than the usual hole in the walls that I'd frequent for Peruvian. The place was packed and food was prepared to order. I knew there is Chinese influence in Peruvian cuisine but this place seems to skew a bit more Chinese as I've not seen wontons (wantans) on the menu before at other places? My favorite Peruvian dish is Arroz Chaufa de Pollo (chicken fried rice) so I had to get it here. It was good but different from what I had at other places. The aji sauce is a must with the rice. The Hot&Ready menu options were good too! Got to try the seco de carne, aji de gallina and Adobo de Chancho and adobo de chancho. Also had to try the lomo saltado and don't forget the fried yucca too! Check out my pics. read more

We've been coming here for years and it's always incredible. The food is delicious and the portions are out of this world. Seriously, we came in for lunch thinking it was going to be a small plate of food, we left with 3 to go boxes. The service is good and everyone is always kind. If you don't speak Spanish- or don't know how to pronounce something- just ask or point. They're great. Location is definitely a hidden gem. Located in between several other restaurants on a busy road. Parking might be challenging, but I promise it's worth the drive. When you go inside you hear the music, the beautiful tables, and they'll drop off a little bowl of salted corn. This alone is worth the drive btw. Here's my suggestion if you're new. Get an order of Yuca Frita. Thing thick cut fries but not potato, they are yuca. For the main course get a tacu tacu or a seco con. You won't leave hungry. If you still have room, fill it up with a flan. I've tried every restaurant in this strip mall, the only one is still visit is Cuzcos. It's the people, the authentic flavor, and the music. read more

Cuzco's Peruvian Restaurant - Tallarín taypa. Mi favorito !!! - Peruvian Near Me - La Habra, California

Stopped by with my coworkers earlier this week to try this spot and I'm so glad we did! Most of us were all quite new to Peruvian cuisine and wanted to try more of it so we picked this spot for lunch. Maybe it was because it was the day after Christmas, but it wasn't packed inside. They have a couple of tables for indoor casual dining so we opted to dine in instead of taking it to go. They have a wide selection of items in their menu but best of all, they have a lunch special menu. You'll see some Peruvian Chinese style dishes such as wontons and fried rice. There were too many delicious looking items on the menu so it took us awhile to figure out what we wanted to try. Portions are very generous here so we'll definitely be back another day to try out more items on their menu. || L O C A T I O N / P A R K I N G || -Cross Streets are N Harbor Blvd and Las Palmas Dr. -Located in the same plaza strip as Akafuji, Pirate's Kitchen, Furai Chicken, Egg Bred and more! -Small parking lot in the front facing N.Harbor Blvd side but there are more spots in the back. The only downside is that the back parking lot is not connected to the front, so you'd have to go all the way around to reach the back lot. || F O O D / D RI N K S || Ceviche de Pescado (Lunch Special - $14.95) - The lunch special comes with a canned drink of choice with daily special soup. I believe the soup we got was the aguadito de pollo and it was such a comforting chicken soup with rice. For complimentary soup, they actually included lots of chicken and rice. I needed something on the lighter side after eating so heavy for the holidays so I opted for the Ceviche. The white fish was fresh and I liked the tangy juice, which was packed with so much flavor, paired so well with the sweet potato and the lime cured white fish. It was such a refreshing dish! Lomo Saltado Empanada ($5.95) - I've never seen a lomo saltado empanada so I knew I had to try it out. Plus, I thought the portion sizes for lunch specials would be smaller so I thought I better get an extra something to satiate my hunger. I didn't end up eating this on the spot, but when I took it home to eat for dinner, it was still pretty good! The filling was super flavorful and I liked that the skin of the empanada wasn't overly thick. Chicha Morada - I almost mistook it for jamaica due to the similar color. My coworker decided to order a pitcher so all of us at the table could try it. It's a fruity and sweet drink with hints of cinnamon. It was quite refreshing! read more

The food here is different . If you are expecting the traditional flavor of Chifa food you may be disappointed or maybe not. Their wontons are delicious but maybe a little too much 5 spice seasoning in the filling. I also ordered their Arroz Chaufa /fried rice It was loaded with chicken and had a nice smoky Chifa flavor. Their maracuya passion fruit drink is amazing also. The interior decor and setup of the restaurant is vibrant and visually pleasing and our waitress was very friendly and attentive. read more

Unfortunately we had to sit outside in the cold, the heater was low on propane & did not warm us up. Not a warming first time . We ordered the Papa rellena 10/10 recommend as an appetizer. Also ordered surf & turf tallarin, lacked a bit in flavor,as the plate was watery at the bottom. The ceviche was well made in citrus lime juice, maiz cancha & sweet potato. Did not care for the Maracuya drinks we had, pretty sweet & not freshly made, you can tell. Also the green aji was so salty! No bread is served here, F. Y. I for those who are accustomed to having it at a Peruvian restaurant. You do get a complimentary tiny serving of those crunchy maiz cornuts! read more

Fresh food with hella flavors! The filet in the limo was flavourful just a bit chewy. Wish the empanada came with 2 since it's $5. Papa rellena is bomb with the house sauce having a slight kick.

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. I came for lunch and ordered the chicken with green noodles, pasta with fried chicken. The food was awful. The rice was cold and tasted old. The chicken was cold and the sauce was far too salty. Everything lacked flavor and felt rushed. Honestly, some of the worst Peruvian food I have ever had. The atmosphere was just as bad. The place was loud, chaotic, and uncomfortable. The AC barely worked, leaving the room hot and stuffy. Not the kind of environment anyone wants to eat in. The worst part was the hygiene. I watched a worker walk into the restroom wearing her apron and come right back out still wearing it while handling food. That is not only disgusting, it is a food safety violation. This place needs to be checked by the health department immediately. Service was painfully slow and careless. To make it worse, not only did I get sick after eating here, but so did the people I was with. Between the horrible food, the bad atmosphere, the broken AC, the unsanitary practices, and the terrible service, this place is a complete disaster. Save your time, money, and health. Go anywhere else. read more

I went with my grandmother, as we like to try new restaurants in the area. The food wasn't the best Peruvian we've had but it was good. We didn't think much of the family sitting next to us that returned their food because there was a hair in it. We did notice some of the cooks weren't wearing hair nets but chalked it up to bad luck for the family. We ordered a few dishes and left. The next day I had terrible food poisoning- in the bathroom alllll day and wasn't able to keep anything down (not even water). I thought maybe my stomach was having a flare up since I do have a very sensitive stomach until my grandma called to tell me she was also experiencing the same symptoms! Obviously we got sick from the food we'd both eaten here. I definitely would not come back and would advise others to be careful! read more

AMAZING!!! The portions are so big and everything was so yummy. My boyfriend is Peruvian and his family says it is one of the most authentic places they've tried. We drove an hour just to eat this! We ordered so many dishes and everything was 10/10 but my favorite was the papa relleno. The sauce was so addicting I wanted to put it on everything. Their service was fast and friendly as well.

We could share just the 3 order plate but I love the lomo saltado so delicious leftovers it is! Highly recommend this little gem in Fullerton! read more

When i say flavor! Flavor is awesome here, ive been to a lot of Peruvian restaurants and this one is up there in the 1/2 spot. All the food was delicious down to the fries in the lomo saltado. Service was good, the restaurant itself is small but it does takes little time for them to come and take your order and get your drinks. There is outdoor seating as well and i heard that you can make reservations as well. Not the greatest for big families that want to walk in and eat but i guess you can make the reservation. Lighting is great, music is going, along with Peruvian and Ecuadorian music playing in the background. Overall a very small place that packs a punch and i will most definitely be going back . read more

I've ordered here a number of times for take out. Each time is painfully slow in receiving my food. They also never seem to have things on the menu and always "run out". Also, their "Hot & Ready" meal combos?? They are NEVER ready! It still takes forever to receive. I've come in here on a few occasions thinking it's hot and ready because I'm in a rush, but it never fails. It takes longer than if I would've ordered from a restaurant that I wanted to originally go! It's been 25 minutes and I'm still waiting for my two item "hot & ready" combo!! read more

Good food, great quality meats, good rice and delicious fries. The place is hidden in a small shopping area where parking is limited, very limited. I ended up parking on the street. The Inka Cola was legit from Peru and not the American version. Would definitely visit again if I'm in the area. Please note they make your food fresh so your food may take a while to come out, be patient. I was really intrigued by their Aji verde. It was thinker than what I'm used to but good, with a nice kick to it. The restaurant is very modern in the inside and it has outdoor seating. read more

WORST PLACE EVER! COMING FROM A PERUVIAN! THE WOMAN IN THE FRONT IS THE WORST SERVER EVER!!! IF YOU CAN'T STAND A JOB LIKE THAT THEN DON'T BE A SERVER!!! First of all, when I was being asked if I wanted to get a table inside or outside I repeatedly told her to wait for my party and she kept insisting on what I wanted, rudely. Then I told her outside when my party finally chose, and she ignored us so we just sat outside. After that another couple comes to sit next to our table, and the tables were with a gross mess on top, she did not clean. And not to mention the stains on the tables already. So as we were waiting A WHILE for her to finally decide to do her job, my brother had enough and went inside to tell her if she could give us some menus please and she said yes if you could wait with an attitude. Finally, she comes outside after a few more minutes passed by, and she does not even come to help us first even though we came first and my brother even asked her beforehand, she goes directly to the table next to us who had come afterwards. She cleans their table and gives them the appetizer that they usually give and then tries to give them their utensils, but they acknowledged that we were there first and gave them back to her. After that whole thing, she comes over to our table and wipes it down and finally gives us menus but with nothing else, no utensils, no house appetizer. Amazing, no? Leaves us with the menus and we were left there for so long. We had been hungry waiting for her all that time. She took her sweet old time. I could not wait any longer and to be honest I got very annoyed. I went to the shops next to this place, better servers and nicer ones too. There was a ramen place which had such nice staff, breakfast food stop which had great food and a coffee place with the sweetest girls! After about 10 minutes passed, I went to grab something to eat from the breakfast sandwich place and after I went, my brother had also came and then my mom later on which stated that they barely came to the table to ask what they would order, hilarious. I ordered a popcorn chicken from the breakfast sandwich place and it came out so FAST! Like Thank you God! And my brother ordered himself a breakfast sandwich which was so good! After that we looked over at the rest of our party and they still were waiting after we were done with our meal at the breakfast place. And so we went into the coffee shop where we ordered a breakfast sandwich for my mom and IT WAS SO GOOD! MUST COME BACK FOR THAT! And not to mention the muffins which the girl dropped my muffin in the bag on the ground (basically not touching the floor) and she felt bad and gave me another one! So nice. And after that we checked on the party again, they finally got their food after another hour! Horrible service from Cuzco's! Never would come back again! Back I would come back to the shops next to them! read more

Tried the Tallarines Verdes with chicken. It tasted okay. I was dense tasting and oily. The portion is very large and definitely shareable. The chicken was fried well, and it wasn't dry. I think the pasta was really heavy, I think that was my biggest take away. The take out took around 25 minutes for 1 plate. Parking is easily accessible near their store front read more

Cuzco's Peruvian Restaurant - Tallarines Verdes with pollo - Peruvian Near Me - La Habra, California

A gem of a peruvian spot. We've come a few times and always get the tallarines verde con besteak which is soooo goooood! Steak so tender, and the fresh basil they use in the pesto to make the pasta is delicious! Also the Papa Rellena is the best with that yellow sauce. The spice and seasoning in that sauce that they pair with the refried potato is just a flavor explosion and it's nicely cut with the thinly sliced onions! Shhh, it'll be our secret. They do run out of pesto as I found out trying to order on one weeknight. read more

My friend wanted to get lunch and we were both looking up a Peruvian place to try in the Fullerton/La habra area. I'm so happy to have found this gem that's close to home! The vibe seems like it would be more of a fast food but the actual food that they serve is far from it! Love the presentation and even the plates they use for every dish! The food was very delicious and I was impressed by the flavors of every dish. Papa rellena is similar to Portos potato balls but the luxury version. I don't think I will ever look at Portos potato balls the same way again after having this one. Must order at an appetizer! Tallarin saltado de lomo is filet mignon stir fried with spaghetti. Omg this was great! The flavors were on point! The quality of meat they used is quite decent. Tallarin taypa is a Peruvian Style stir fried chow mein. I'd go back for this one! We also had couple other dishes which were decent. Oh and get their creme Brulee! It's legit! read more

I love discovering a local Peruvian gem, and this place definitely has great flavors with tender meats. However, the sodium level could be toned down a bit. I ordered 3 entrees, and every single one of them was salty, including their green sauce. Their service was also slow; despite calling in 20 minutes ahead for a to-go order, I still had to wait an additional 15 minutes when I arrived. I understand they're busy with a small kitchen capacity, but it can be inconvenient if you're on a time crunch or have fussy little ones waiting like how I did (doesn't help that the restaurant is located in a tiny plaza with sparse parking). I would rate this place a 3.5 stars, but if they reduce their salt content by 10% and have some more manpower in the kitchen, they would be a 4 - 4.5 stars due to their flavors and meat quality. P.S. One thing I did try and would not recommend are their chicken tenders. They were dry and tough. read more

Small restaurant with TV on loud volume. Every time a customer walked in/out, the loud fan attached to the door would turn on blowing a gust of wind at our table. Service. was very slow, while we waited 40 minutes for our food. We had to inquire about the status of our order. Apparently our food was left sitting on the counter, and our server seemed to have forgotten about us. We finally got to eat our food, but it was quite oily.
