My boyfriend and I went for a walk to the liquor store to pick up some snacks he was craving. As we walked by this little mall he saw the sign of the restaurant. We decided to go in & get a menu. Carlos greeted me as I asked for a to go menu. Said he opened the restaurant in November. I Said I just live down the street & didn't even know about your place until just now. I took menu to my boyfriend and after looking at menu he decided to try it for dinner. We came back in and Carlos welcomed us answered questions and took our order. I love to try new foods and I was happy that my boyfriend was open to try it too. We had Lomo saltado & we tried tamales peruanos. Excellent. We can't wait to go back. read more

Hidden little gem on 6th street (Arbys parking lot). To say that Wife and I love Peruvian food would be an understatement. We heard about new Peruvian restaurant in corona and we just had to try it. First off.. The food. Wow! Very authentic.. And very delicious!!! We ordered Rotisserie chicken (pollo a LA brasa) for the kids, chicken fried rice (arroz chaufa), and beef stir fry (lomo saltado) and they were all full of flavor. The owner is very genuine and welcoming and is very hands on when it comes to customer service. He brought us bread when he saw our little ones get fussy and would check on us frequently. Great little place! read more

I really enjoyed this place, very authentic flavors. I had the pescado a lo macho for $12! Came with a rich creamy sauce, topped with shrimp and squid. Also had some yucca fries, delicious! The only thing I didn't really enjoy about this place, was the fact that my boyfriend and I were the only ones there and that probably has to do with the area they're in, it's kind of hidden and some of the shops there are empty. They should reconsider they're area if business booms, Corona needs more authentic food like this! read more

El Pollo Kri-ollo - Delicious! Yuca fries, pescado a lo macho and lomo saltado! Very authentic flavors - Peruvian Near Me - Corona, California

This wasn't the first time I ever ate at Peruvian food, and I'm glad that it was here! Don't get me wrong I love the restaurant that is bougie and has a nice setting, but this restaurant is not about aesthetics. To me, it is about authenticity. The food here was amazing! I had gotten the Lomo Saltado which was ridiculously good. I will definitely be coming back. Sincerely, un muy cliente feliz read more

I was hesitant on how I was gonna score this place, and decided to give it 4 stars for two reasons. Not that I would not recommend this place to anyone I highly will because the food is delicious and employees are really friendly. Being the only Peruvian food spot in the area the food is tasteful in tradition. I walked in a few days ago expecting to buy four whole Pollos a la brasa. The owner and cooks chuckled thinking I was playing LOL well turns out that they usually don't have that much chicken precooked do to them wanting to serve their customers fresh made food. I still bought what they did have which was one whole chicken and a half and recommend for those wanting a big amount is to call in advance and place an order 2 hours prior Which was a learning experience for me. This location is not open like your typical fast food joint usually opens later in the day and closed on Mondays I would highly recommend it to all read more

El Pollo Kri-ollo - Pollo a la brasa - Peruvian Near Me - Corona, California

Great little place very authentic and service provided by Carlos and his staff was great. Being Peruvian ans having a Gringa wife that is the biggest critic of Peruvian food she liked it. They need to add : Tallarin verde Seco Aji de gallina Diet Inka Cola Next time I will try Pollo a la brasa Thank you Carlos and staff it was great read more

Great Peruvian food. Coronas little Gem. The typical dishes are superior! The rotisserie chicken is absolutely great. I haven't had the ceviche just yet but im sure its as good as the rest of the food ive tried. update: 07/22/17 They run out of pollo a la brasa. Go earlier in the day to eat it. Probably the best dish they offer. read more

I just order 2 pollo la brasa with a salad and fries. Keep in mind I'm Peruvian. I have been having home cooked Peruvian food all my life. I was very disappointed. Chicken flavor was not good at all and undercook. Their aji verde is by far the worst I've ever had & left a horrible after taste. I also order their tallerines saltado. That was at least eatable. I definitely will not be coming back at all. read more

Not bad... maybe a 3.5. I'm love my Lomo Saltado and they do a decent job. I admit, I'm spoiled since I usually get my Lomo Saltado from Mario's in LA. It was different that they have the french fries separate so I mixed them myself. I wish they did mix if for me since I'm used to getting all the great flavors into the french fries. Having the french fries on the side made them crunchy but would have preferred the slightly soggy fries with plenty of juices. My friend tried the fish and that was good too. Nothing to call home about but pretty good. read more

Best Lomo Saltado I've ever had. I would give more than 5 stars. Very friendly employees too.

Good food. Everything is so tasteful, my new go to place. The guy waiter definitely improved the visit, as soon as my boyfriend and I walked in the RUDE Waitress was on the phone rolled her eyes at us, Didn't offer us any bread to start off with. The nice waiter turned our visit around :) Hope to be back soon and not see HER. Ugh. read more

Meehh. Average Peruvian food at premium cost. The food wasn't bad, just unmemorable. Service was slow and inattentive. I leave with one thought....'who cares?' read more

One of the most flavorful lomo saltado I've had in a long time! Beef was tender and onions to the point. So far my my favorite dish! Definitely I will be back with more friends and family :) read more

The service was great, the food not so much. I took my mom for Mother's Day and we both had the Lomo Saltado (so this limits our opinion). The dish was missing flavor. When we first got our food we noticed the potatoes weren't cooked with the meat, onions and tomatoes, so we thought yay not soggy. Turns out soggy adds flavor. Most importantly, the meat was overdone and under seasoned. read more

Total hidden gem! If you're craving Peruvian in Corona, this is a must! Must try the Pollo Saltado or Lomo Saltado. Delicious! Meat in the Lomo Saltado was tender not tough. Their green sauce had a good amount of spicy-kick. If you're familiar with El Pollo Inca, Mama Inca's or El Rocoto Peruvian restaurants around SoCa, but can't get out to one in OC/LA county, El Pollo Kri-ollo most definitely will hit the spot! Gave this place 4 stars b/c it's not exactly 5 star El Rocoto level, but it's a contender for sure. read more

I ordered their Lomo Saltado about 20 minutes before closing on a Friday evening and it was pretty good. I'm not a huge thick cut French fries eater so that's one thing I'd nix on the next order. The beef was seasoned well and the grilled vegetables were nice and fresh. Rice was cooked to perfection and the service even at closing was pleasant. Will go back for more dishes! read more

Fantastic food and service. You can't find better prices for food like this. I recommend the Lomo Saltado and the Arroz de Mariscos. read more

El Pollo Kri-ollo - Only the best! Lomo Saltado. - Peruvian Near Me - Corona, California

It was our first time here and I tried the Lomo saltado and he tried the Pollo saltado and plantains. All was awesome. The brown sauce lightly coated the meat, onions, tomatoes and fries. Perfectly seasoned. The plantains were ripe and sweet. Will return to try other items on the menu. read more

El Pollo Kri-ollo - Pollo saltado... Perfectly seasoned! - Peruvian Near Me - Corona, California

My wife and I love Peruvian food. Location isn't great. It's tucked away strip mall off 6th Street. The place isn't much to look at from the outside and only a little better from the inside. That aside, the food was pretty good. We had the Lomo Saltado... excellent, Seafood Fried rice...excellent, The Ceviche'...excellent. The 1/2 chicken though was a little larger than a rock cornish game hen and was kinda dry. The service was not very good. Seemed disorganized and forgetful. All that being said, my wife and I agreed we would probably go back if we had a hankering for Peruvian food....unless something better comes along. read more

The only Peruvian spot in Corona (close to Riverside). I love Peruvian and now Pollo Inka and El Rocoto are way too far since I moved. With that being said this is the closet thing to one of those spots. Customer service is quick and friendly. Food was good. I cannot compare it my 2 other fave spots but it was good. read more

My wife is Peruvian and we frequent quite a few Peruvian restaurants. This is definitely one of the better ones. The lomo saltado which I use as a gauge of good Peruvian food was DELICIOUS! We will definitely be coming back read more

It's hidden in a shopping center, so drive with caution so you don't miss your turn, lol! This is my first time trying Peruvian food. My friend was not a fan because she has had better in Glendale, but I thought it was good. The waitress seemed tired and ready to end her shift, so I did not get that spectacular experience, but it was relaxed and exciting for me. My friend and I shared a plate. Sorry, I forgot to take a picture of our Lomo Saltado. The steak was cooked medium, and some parts were medium rare. Again, I did not mind, because I like it like that . My friend thought the fries were frozen friend, so she was not a fan. But I ate them. The best part was this green sauce in a bottle.. oh my goodness I can put that sauce on anything and everything.. yummy! I tried their homemade juices.. too sweet for me, but interesting taste. It was not too busy when we dropped in between 5:30/6 on a Saturday, so we were in and out on good timing. I believe they have one restroom by the way. I give it a three star because I was not fond of the atmosphere, waitresses attitude could have been better and since we were new she could have recommended something or welcomed us with a smile.. What I liked was that it was not busy since I was hungry, the steak was good along with the green sauce and their bread rolls. read more

The 5 stars are for the taste, service and cleanliness. It's a new business that is why they do need to work on having the plates on the menu available. We arrived about an hour before they closed on a Saturday and they did not have a couple of things that we wanted to eat. But like I said they are a new business and they need the opportunity to fix their flaws. An advice that was given to us by the waitress which by they way was very friendly and courteous, is that if you want to eat pollo a la brasa, which is one of their specialties, call before coming to check that they still have some. Next time we come we will do that because we do want to try that and picarones. read more

I was debating between 2 or 3 stars. The restaurant has a smell. Probably humidity. The place is not much. It seems that used to be a Chinese place. It has around 10-12 tables-booths Our server was friendly and polite. Service was a little slow We ordered papa a la huancaina and lomo saltado. food is marginal, nothing memorable. I was not impressed with the food. Pretty disappointing experience. There are other peruvian restaurants in the area read more

The worst experience ever! Atmosphere was bad, flies in food. They kept the door open cause there was no aircon... on SUMMER! So Hot. We were sweating . Service ..0/5 rate. It took 25 minutes before the server took our order. It took another hour before we got served. The server forgot one of our entree . She said its coming. But apparently she forgot our order. It took another 45 minutes . We were usually patient but if we were there before everyone else and they have their food BUT ours..that's it. So done. The server lied to the cashier and said it was an add on. We said No, she forgot. Anyway, overall the food was not extra ordinary for its price. I would never come back and just warning everyone that if you're willing to wait forever for your pricey so so food.. it's your call. read more

First the server was by herself. She apologized for the long delay prior to ordering. It took over thirty minutes to get our food. We kept it simple and ordered the lomo saltado. The food was bland. Plus I got sick afterward. I have eaten here before and never had such a bad experience. Maybe they changed cooks or they just let this place go. I will not be going back. read more

The food was horrible very salty my husband ordered chicken and I order meat they were both not cook right the waitress was on the phone the whole time it's was a horrible service. read more

My husband and I decided to check this Peruvian place out today. We were not disappointed. We started out with an appetizer called Jalea De Mixta. It was delicious, it consisted of deep fried shrimp, white fish and squid with two dipping sauces. I ordered the Polla Saltado which was chunks of chicken with French fries that tasted of yummy garlic and onions and tomatoes, so good. My husband ordered the half chicken, which is a rotisserie chicken which was very tender and delicious. This dish also came with white rice and a creamy sauce which really complemented the chicken. Oh and lets not forget when we first sat down we were given toasted bread with Aji green sauce, which was pretty spicy and I love spicy! read more

See all

Great tasting Peruvian! So happy we found this place. It's located in the very back of the shopping center. Owner is super friendly and treats you like family. Everything is very fresh and simply delicious. I loved my pollo saltado and papa a la huancaina. Can't wait to go back! read more

Finally some good Peruvian food in Corona!! First visit here tonight. Lomo Saltado is delish! Chaufa de Pollo also good. Note that there's no air conditioning here, or at least they didn't turn it on. read more

Ambiance: Cozy, nice and spacious Service: Fast, friendly and accurate Food: 1. Lomo Saltado = very flavorful, juicy, beef perfectly cooked and seasoned, the rice and the juice mixed up create an exquisite mixture. 2. Pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken) = Chicken meat very moist, highly flavorful even in the bones, skin comes right off and the texture and taste of the meat overall is too delicious. Pour the spicy green sauce all over your chicken and you will have a flavor blast! 3. Jalea de Mariscos = an amazingly delicious mixture of battered seafood (shrimp, fish, calamari, mussels) with a savory and zesty touch of salsa criolla. Portions are generous and prices ridiculously affordable. Give this place a try and you will be coming back very often :) Overall this awesome Peruvian restaurant gets my solid read more

we were in the area and decided we wanted Peruvian food for lunch. Glad we made before they closed the food is AMAZING, we had lomo saltado and arroz chaufa. I would definitely come back here again when I'm in the area. read more

This review is only for one item. A late night snack on a whim, it was a takeout order for chicken fried rice. It was a generous portion filling the entire takeout container. For the price of $12 I thought it was a bit overpriced for what was pretty much a large serving of rice. There were nice sized nuggets of chicken, but they were sparse, maybe one bite in every 3 to 4 large spoonfuls of rice. There was also a sprinkling of chopped green onions mixed in, but that was just about it. However, that's not the reason for the two stars. This dish was salty, very very salty. And, this coming from someone who adds salt to most everything. I had to stop eating midway through. Based on the other ratings, it may have been a fluke. Plus, it's only one dish, so I have to return and try some others. read more

I searched some Peruvian food places on Yelp and came across this one near me. Note: I've been to many Peruvian restaurants and my boyfriend is Peruvian so I've had the real thing. Place was OK. We had the Ceviche Mixto, Aji de Gallina and a Lomo. The ceviche was not bad but not great. It could've used better spice and flavor. The Aji could have had a little more flavor and the Lomo tasted home made. However the fries fall flat and it had too much vinegar. The service wasn't great. Waitress seemed rushed and was not friendly at all. Customer service was not there. For drinks: good thing is that they have 2 liter Inca Kola and Kola Inglesa. But that...it's $4 and you can take the rest home vs paying $2.50 per can. read more

So darn good. I've visited El Pollo Kri-ollo about 4 or 5 times now. It was great every time. The lomo saltado, ceviche, shrimp soup, and skirt steak were all too amazing. This food will send you right in to a food coma, You wont stop eating. The service is great. All the waitresses we've had were all attentive and friendly. You gotta go! read more

Lack of service and good food. On top of the poor service they charge a 3 dollar service fee. We didn't get plates for our appetizer, never was given napkins, and the waiter never came to ask how everything was or if we needed refills. They serve old brown potatoes.... yuck!! The tip of the ahi jar was stuck, most likely do to them not cleaning it regularly. My lomo saltado was very overly salted and tasted like Chinese stir fry, where as my husbands lomo was not overly salted, but still didn't taste good. read more

Great tasting Peruvian food. This place has been open for 4 months now and it's my go to for the best tasting Peruvian in the area. The llomo saltado is to die for and the ceviche is on point!! read more

I have eaten at many Peruvian restaurants and this so far is my favorite. The fish ceviche for starters was delicious and I really enjoyed the lomo saltado.

Best kept secret in Corona! We were in the area visiting a friend, and stumbled upon this place. It's nothing fancy, but it's by far, the best peruvian food we've had outside of Peru. The ceviche was spicy, but not overwhelming. The chicken was juicy and perfectly seasoned. The Picante de Mariscos was savory and the rice, perfection. I wish we lived closer, to be able to make it during the week, but for now it will just be when we get a chance to, on a weekend. It is very modestly priced too! read more
