El Incomparable Peruvian Cuisine - Peruvian Near Me - Reseda, California

This place is what Fina Estampa used to be like about 20 years ago. They have a chef who knows chifa (Peruvian style Chinese food) and another who knows traditional comida criolla. They do a $10 lunch special every day which includes 3 courses. The entree changes daily. When I went it was aji de gallina. Delicious and one of my favorites. We also had the ceviche de pescado and an order of papa's a la huancaina. I took an order of causa de pollo to have for dinner tonight. Such a good deal and great food. read more

I feel awful giving only two stars. They were very nice people and the restaurant was clean and everything. Maybe I was trying too hard to go out of my comfort zone to try something unfamiliar to me. Peruvian food was something that never piqued my interest in the past, so I thought today would be the day to try it I made my order right here on Yelp. I ordered a Tamale and something called, Fettucine con Picante de Mariscos. It is described as, Fettucine pasta, crema de leche, sweet cream, shrimp, calamari, garlic and yellow aji. I requested NO calamari in my order. I picked-up the order and was extrememly dissatisfied when I came home and opened it up. Not only was there calamari in the pasta, but a LOT of it. There were several other interesting creatures in there as well. Five headless octupus with tenticles and little sucker things on them. They were purple stiff headless octupus, (or is it octipi ?) There were a couple of shells with some stiff rubber thing attached to the inside shell, 2 shrimp and a million calamari rubberbands. Thick chewless rubberbands. My cats couldnt even bite through the calamari it was so rubbery. I would have NEVER ordered this if I had known that it included all of these sea creatures. The description did not mention them. Those pieces of calamari were literally the same size of Lego truck tires with the same consistency. On top of all that crap, it was extremely, extremely salty. In fact, everything had way too much salt. Even the sliced onions with cut lime that came in a seperate container had a crap load of salt. I dont know why onions amd lime would have salt, particularly, that much salt on them. The other item ordered was a Tamale. You really can't go wrong with a tamale, right? Well, it turns out that you can go wrong... If you order them from this place. It was wrapped beautifully in a banana leaf and steamed to purfection. Tied up with a little string and all kinds of goodies inside, like corn, a black olive, chicken, thankfully no octopus..... But, it too had a fucking shit load of salt. Believe me, I am not a health nut who is opposed to salt. I am quite the opposite, so when I think something is too salty, its way too salty. Believe me. That was my experience. I am in no way trying to bad mouth this cute little place. I just did not enjoy the salty sea creature pasta. I wish the menu described it clearly for people like me. I also wished they had followed my instructions to NOT include calamari. I hope that someone that works there will read this and consider lowering the salt in the food. It was almost unedible. The tamale would have beem perfect, if not for the salt. read more

This is the best Peruvian place I have had in the valley! The food was all so delicious when I went here with a group of friends! We all ended up sharing each others' food because everything was so tasty! I had the arroz con mariscos and the ceviche de pescado and it was so delicious and fresh tasting! What really stood out to me was the service here. Our waitress was very patient and kind! And the chef and cooks were all cheerful and friendly. Half way through our meal one of the chefs asked us if we were enjoying the meal! It showed us he really cares about the quality of his food! Our friend was having a birthday and the waitress overhead and even though they were almost closing she brought out a dessert with a candle and the whole staff sang our friend happy birthday!! It felt very welcoming and joyful there and that's what food is suppose to be all about! Support local business and eat at this delicious placed owned and filled with people who actually love their jobs and take pride in their food! read more

Came here for my dad's bday, I wanted something causal and not too pricey. Ended up being a bit more casual than I expected but that's ok. This place is small, staff is friendly, food is pretty good, portions are good and the prices are fair. The lomo saltado was definitely an all around favorite. The meat was tender, cooked medium rare, and was well flavored. I would come back just for the this dish! We also ordered ceviche de mariscos, dad loved it (he ordered 2 more ceviche orders to go - mariscos & pescado). Personally I've had better, but I've also been to Peru so I'm biased. Overall I thought the ceviche was good but wasn't overly impressed like dad. Where the restaurant lost stars was with the other dishes, the causa de pollo and the cau cau de mariscos were a bit salty for my taste. Plus we thought the chicha morada and the passion fruit drink were too sweet. Other than that, not bad. While we ate there were plenty of people that picked up orders so it's definitely a popular place. read more

Wanted to be impressed. Based on the reviews was maybe anticipating it would be tastier .. service was just eh okay Food flavoring was good the quality of the meat and seafood was what took away the stars for me Wasn't bad but wasn't great read more

Last night I was starving and stumbled upon the new El Incomparable Peruvian on Topanga Blvd. If I new it was the "El Incomparable" I would have walked out. I was with two friends and did not want to make a fuss. A month prior I tried the location in Reseda. My husband and I walked in and were so excited to try the lomo saltado. Being Peruvian, it is one of my favorites. We waited at least 25 minutes but I kept telling my husband it will be well worth the wait. Well what a big disappointment. The beef was so tough we both looked like cows trying to chew it down. I immediately asked for the waiter to let him know that it was seriously and not at all chewable. If we can switch it for the pollo saltado. "He replied, No and asked us to leave " We were appalled!!! He did not even apologize nor offer to make it better. I do not know about any of you but my money does not grow on trees and when I go out to eat I want to enjoy it. I am not a picky eater but I will not pay for something I cannot even chew. Last night at the new Location I ordered pollo allá brasa. One whole chicken with sides. It was 6pm and was told it would take 45 Minutes. I said, "what?"she explained that they had just sold the four chickens that they made for the night to one customer. And have just put two More in if I wanted to wait. "I replied,just two?" As we sat there disappointed and in disbelief that they only rotisserie 4 chickens at a time or two. Why advertise delicious chicken and not produce enough? As we pondered over what else to order, we witness 4 different customers leave because they had no CHICKEN allá brasa. I split a chicken saltado with one friend and my other friend ordered the tallarín verde con Milanesa de pollo. The pollo saltado was good but barely enough chicken for the price. And mind you, four strips of fries. For what it cost? The other order was a joke. Chicken milanesa were chicken nuggets. Not at all representing our delicious Peruvian cuisine. It should be a thin slice a chicken pounded flat like a steak breaded and seasoned to perfection. The spaghetti had no flavor that my none Peruvian friend asked to have it re tossed in the skillet and add some salt. It was simply horrible. (No Season) It tasted the same when it was returned. She did not even eat it. It was plain to see she did not like it but the waitress had the galls to ask if we wanted it packed up. REALLY? Not a good server at all. We paid for it and left her a nice gratuity. The way the owners run this establishment is not the servers fault. I would be embarrassed to be in her shoes representing this restaurant. My friend was in desperate need of a restroom. We were told they did not have one. We then noticed a sloppy-written note, stating no public restrooms. We asked for warm bread and were told they do not offer bread at this location. When we were done with our meal an hour and 15 minutes into it we were asked if we then wanted the pollo allá brasa. I am Peruvian. I pride myself that Peru has won in the last several years, number one in gastronomy. But this restaurant is the worst example of what real Peruvian cuisine is all about. The owner should order takeout in disguise from each location to taste what kind of food is being produced out of their kitchens. I wish you luck. But if you know the statistics in the food business. You like a place you tell maybe 3-5 friends. You dislike a place you tell a 100. I have been in the food business for 22 years and my business is still going strong and grows daily. I have Never advertised. It makes a BIG difference when you are a on hand owner operator. I highly do not recommend this restaurant. There are much better Peruvian restaurants to try. Another point that was not at all desirable is that there is a huge refrigerator in the dining room. A back room that is exposed to dining that it makes it undesirable to eat staring at buckets and dirty mops and towels. I am embarrassed that this establishment represents our delicious food in such a manner. I would not recommend a Peruvian to dine here let alone a none Peruvian. I wish you Much success in 2019.... read more

Went here for lunch and wifey had cravings. Its small hole in the wall Peruvian restaurant. Place is small but what they lack in space they make up with their fast service and good quality food. Their prices are reasonable and affordable. We ordered Lomo saltado is a popular, traditional Peruvian dish, a stir fry that typically combines marinated strips of sirloin with onions, tomatoes, french fries, with side order of plantain and Chicha morada is a sweet Peruvian beverage made from purple corn, a variant of Zea mays native to the Mesoamerica, and spices. Non-alcoholic, it is a type of chicha usually made by boiling the corn with pineapple, cinnamon, clove, and sugar. Would definitely come back here again! read more

Food was bland, it was missing a lot pa seasoning, I think they have plenty of potential, but they need to review their recipes, I tried the aji de pollo, the aguadito and the parrillada, the flavor was OFF. My friend got the causa and the seafood tacu tacu --- they were great!!!!!! I will give them a second chance and I hope they review their recipes. read more

I would say a solid 3.5 stars. The food looks vibrant and beautiful. Fresh ingredients but the flavors are on the mild side. It wasn't particularly a memorable experience for my friends and I. I would described this as refined Peruvian food! The ceviche was pretty similar to what Ive had in Peru. read more

I 'll give four stars for the ceviche that my wife had and the yuca frita was super good. I ordered sudado de pescado...it was ok, rice was fine, chicha morada not for me, I've tried a lot better ones. I think the problem they have is the type of water they use (disgusting). Price is good and waiters are nice. It is a clean place... read more

We saw this place when it first opened up and didn't try it til we saw a few reviews. Very cold inside which I love because the valley is crazy hot. The food was very good, but slightly salty just like me. Not enough to stop me from coming back. The rice with chicken was bomb.com and the lomo saltado too. The juices they have are very good and refreshing. We'll definitely be coming back, especially since it's down the street. read more

I am kinda of hesitant to write an amazing review for this place because I don't want everyone to find out and then I have to wait an hour to get their food. They have only been around less than a year, but they have great Peruvian cuisine. Rarely every dish I order I love, but this place I can genuinely say has unique and bold flavors with an affordable price. Ceviche, bistek, pollo... Doesn't matter this place can make anything taste good. Check out my pictures. They don't lie. Highly recommend this place if your into trying something new that will make your taste buds smile. read more

Spotted this place as I was heading into the grocery store and decided to stop by for dinner with the hubby. Yum! So glad we did, because it was very good. I ordered the salchipapas (reminded me of something I ordered in a small town in Mexico) and I had the Bisteque Pobre which was very good, my hubby had the Jalea and it too was very good (though it was a bit undersalted). All in all, I'm looking forward to going back and trying a few other items in their menu! read more

It's nice to have a new Peruvian spot in the valley. It's even better that it's really great! Food is fresh and tasty, portions are good, appetizers are off the chart and the service is very friendly of you don't know what's what. I must say we will be returning very soon...totally worth a stop. Also, this is a mom and pop operation so the people seem to care a lot and are very proud of the food they are making. read more

Really a 4.5! The fish ceriche was excellent (we had the fresh fish version for $12) -- better than we've had in Peru and certainly better than anything else had in the UIS. The tamale was also unique. They lost a 1/2 star because food was just a tad salty for me (next time I will ask for a little less salt) and they try hard by bringing you some slices of bread (supermarket french bread) but would have much rather had something more unique to Peru. But it was great -- really nice people. If you've never had Peruvian cuisine, treat yourself to a bottle of Inca cola. It tastes like bubble gum ... but if you're going all the way ... might as well. read more

We got to this Peruvian Restaurant by just yelling what was around, as a Peruvian, I know a good my food, everything was just good! The arroz with chaufa, the green spaghetti was delish. The waiter told me they are planning to open a new Restaurant in Chatsworth and Balboa. I ordered a single plate for my two kids because I know a plate in a Peruvian dish can be share for two kids. Plus dessert. It was clean. We didn't used the restrooms and I didn't know they have one. We'll definitely be back. read more

Found this little Peruvian gem and wow was I impressed. Small but the food is really good and a very good portion. You can see them cooking and their kitchen is very clean and organized. I had the fish with mixed seafood the first time and the second time I had the chicken stew.....both flavorful and the side sauce is spicy. The BF enjoyed his food too....steak saltado as well as his guyabanana. I definatly will make this a regular spot and definitely recommend. read more

The flavors are an explosion of South American and Asian foods. It's a small family style place. When you see a place filled with Peruvians that means it's authentic. The menu items are not as descriptive for the non Peruvians but the waiter is helpful in explaining the foods. Good thing there are pictures on yelp. It's like a more upscale type of place. These are not just cooks they chefs. Try it and enjoy. read more

I found this place through yet because I've been dying to eat Peruvian food and since the one I go to is all the way in Orange County which is so good so I decided to Yelp and find some places in the valley that have Peruvian food I ordered the beef lomo which the flavor of the food was really unbelievable really tasty and satisfying our service was also extremely extremely quick overall this places a little gem. The only thing I would change is the beef that they use it's a little tough and they need to cut it a little smaller than me to use maybe top sirloin but overall the flavors delicious if you love Peruvian the food I suggest this one in the valley read more
