    One of San Fernando Valley staples. They've been here since i was a kid Food is always good. Service is fast. Cool outside patio. Nice street view. #citylife

    Alfajores, delicious dessert! The texture of the cookie was unique

    I did not know much about Peruvian food, other than it involves a tasty green sauce, so I visited this traditional and well reviewed restaurant that was kind of off the beaten path. I went with a Peruvian friend who was able to guide me on menu suggestions and it did not fail. Everything was fresh and delicious and I found the different flavor profile of the Peruvian food to be exciting for my mouth. Fairly simple restaurant with basic decor, but amazing food. They specialize in Peruvian rotisserie chicken, which I will probably try next time. The service was excellent and very helpful, I look forward to my next visit!

    This place is pretty rad. Totally did not expect to see a stage inside when I picked up the food, especially with a live singer singing rock en español. It's a casual sit down restaurant with great food. We got the family meal and 3 generations of family members loved it. Beans are slightly different here and lovely since we eat so much rotisserie meals. Thanks yelpers for helping me find this place

    Pollo ala brasa

    This place is really good, we went for a 2nd time on Monday for dinner. I had the Lomo Saltado and my husband had the Tallarin Verde Con Pollo ala brasa, OMG the food was delicious. Thus place is one of my top Peruvian restaurants.

    Not the best Peruvian food in the area. We ordered three pasta dishes and two with carne asada and piece of chicken. The price for the pasta dishes was a little pricy. The chicken was dry and flavor was not good. The tables were a little two close to each other which makes it weird. The piece of carne was cook like it was boiled meat rather than seared. We also ordered fried seafood dish as well, upon asking what's taking so long, waiter said we never ordered it. SMH. We were the only table who also didn't get ask if we were doing ok and if we needed anything else. I wouldn't come back.

    Lomo Saltado
    Christine S.

    We come solely for the Ceviche Mixto and Lomo Saltado. Both are SO tasty and satisfying. The Ceviche is sooo acidic and addicting. The Lomo Saltado is a huge portion, good enough to share and the perfect amount of saltiness. A staple in our restaurant rotation.

    Lomo saltado

    Already looking forward to my next visit , the chicken was so flavorful and juicy it came with two sides and it was a big order. the lomo saltado the meat was so tender and had such great flavor, as great as the those dishes were, I have to say the ceviche was my favorite. Absolutely delicious just the right amount of spice and it was a very decent portion for the price. So glad we gave this place a chance, it's going to be a regular for me from now on.

    Lomo Saltado

    The food taste great. But the seating is too crowded. Elbows width apart. It's uncomfortable. The music is really loud as well. Too loud for the small space. I would also like to add once you get your food that's it no refills and no one is checking if you need anything once you're served. The musician wants a tip and so do the waitresses when you leave. I won't be returning anymore.

Was hesitant to come by on Sunday morning around 10a after a Hollywood Reservoir run because our group of 8 didn't want to wait. Showed up anyways and so glad we did. Only waited about 10 mins before we were offered two booths that seat 4. I ordered a drip coffee ($4.25) and lox bagel ($17). The drip coffee was decent, not my favorite but got the job done and they were good about refills. The lox bagel was light, easy on the cream cheese, and had the toppings that make a lox just right. Our server was extremely attentive even through the busyness. My only qualm was the 20% large party charge on our bill despite us splitting our group, sitting on different tables, and getting two separate checks. There's also a 4% additional tax "Kitchen Appreciation" which caught us off guard. Gotta love LA. Loved the diner minus the uncalled for additional charges.

Their motto is: "If it's not good enough to serve to mom, it's not good enough to serve to you." The wait staff are friendly and smile every time they refill your coffee from the classic glass coffee pot. The décor is retro with orange vinyl-upholstered booths, counter seating, and terrazzo floors. The menu is extensive, offering something for everyone. The portions are large and prices are reasonable. My girlfriend and I would frequently come here to grub after a night of clubbing. Now, I'll stop by on occasion after a tasting at Silver Lake Wine. My favorite thing to order is the Chinese Chicken Salad without the chicken. The house made dressing is so good. I also love the thick steak fries, hand cut onion rings, French fried zucchini spears, and handmade pies with the perfect flaky crust.
