    I ordered the arroz chaufa de camarones; they definitely don't skimp on the shrimp. My meal was delish, rice cooked perfect, no mush at all...The perfect amount of red pepper and onions totally complimented this dish! We were immediately greeted by the hostess which immediately seated us.. I ordered and within 8 minutes my piping hot dish was served.. The establishment is well decorated with cool artwork and the location has a locals vibe.. Definitely be back soon to try more dishes!

    Papa a la huancaina

    Located in the super busy plaza juxtaposed to the dead PH mall across the street, Higo Peru is a great place to get some casual Peruvian food. We actually came here during the summer when our Norwegian friend was visiting and he's never had this kind of food before, especially Peruvian sushi. Great dish to try especially since he's a bit of a weeaboo dude too. Service was super friend and inviting, all smiles and our food came out decently quickly too. We had to kill some time here before linking up with our other friend and I am glad to say that this is a TCG friendly place since my brother and friends opened up their MTG packs and booster boxes and played a bit here and didn't get any dirty looks or encouragement to leave and open up a table. There were a couple other customers there too, but enough seating to go around when we went. During our visit, since we were going out to eat again, we got 2 of their rolls and they don't skimp out on the sauces, filling and ingredients. We also got their lomo saltado, delicious fries and went great with their famous green sauce. I'm not sure if it's still on the menu, but we got the Papa a la huancaina which is boiled potatoes with egg and a creamy sauce on top. Yummy and the presentation on the soup spoons made it a pretty fancy presentation and easier to eat in a bite. I need to go back here again!

    Great experience being a first-timer, leaving a good first impression. Our server was very attentive and would always come to check on us every so often. Casual setting, lots of chairs and tables, music not too loud, enough to engage in conversation. Food is really good! Ordered the following: #40 YUQUITAS FRITAS: cassava fries, comes in thick slices, the sauces are a good compliment. #36 TALLARIN VERDE CON POLLO ALA CHICKEN KATSU: creamy basil flavor is very generous, leaving a happy palate, chicken well cooked, lightly battered. 10/10 20# ARROZ CHAUFA DE MARISCOS: the flavor hit the nail on the head, delicious seafood fried rice, very generous in seafood portion Definitely returning!

    The lomo saltado was amazing. It was absolutely flavorful and packed with seasoning. The meat was very tender and soft and chewy. I absolutely love this dish. Any Peruvian restaurant I go to, but this one does it right. The service was amazing as well and the food came out very fast not too long of a wait. How do you recommend if you're looking for some Peruvian dishes.

    Abundant seating, clean location

    I've passed this place many times and finally stopped in. You're greeted and seated once soon as you enter the location. There's plenty of seating in a welcoming atmosphere. As the music plays you get comfortable and peruse the menu. Our server made a couple suggestions and provided us with the Peruvian salsas, one green and one red. Remember this is Peruvian, it sounds different, but it's truly amazing. Not long after we had Saltado de Pescado and Tallarín Saltado de Camarón. Now you ask what is this ? The Pescado appeared somewhat similar to having fajitas and white rice. I promise you it was far from that as the flavors are completely different. The pescado was light and refreshing. When accompanied by the veggies and Peruvian sauce it was a symphony for the taste buds. Tallarín you ask ? Some may compare its appearance to shrimp chow mein...but once again, it is not. The noodles are tender yet not overcooked, the shrimp are abundant and plump. When paired with the sauce and the occasional addition of the red and green salsas it's a palate pleaser. This meal was completely enjoyable and I look forward to returning and enjoying this culinary delight once again.

    This place is so good ! It was my very first time trying peruvian food ever and i was blown away! We got the lunch special and it was so affordable honestly it was such a steal. We got a full plate plus a side of soup! I would def come back and come during the lunch times. It wasn't busy at all when we went. The food came out really fast!

    Toasted cancha (corn nuts) and accompanying sauces

    There's not a lot of Peruvian restaurants near us, so we were excited to try this out. It's an easily missed store sandwiched between a couple of other restaurants, all tucked away in a bustling plaza. We came just before the dinner rush and noticed there was a lone server working as host, server, and cashier. Despite being clearly overworked, she handled it all with a calm, friendly demeanor. If you're coming during peak hours, patience is your best dining companion. They provided a complimentary cup of toasted cancha (corn nuts), which had a crunchy, salty bite. It was the perfect snack to hold us over as we waited on our meal. They also brought out two sauces: a creamy, herby aji verde with a gentle kick and a mystery orange sauce (rocoto?) that packed some heat I wasn't expecting. For drinks, we got diet Inca Kola (a rare find!) that had its iconic bubblegum sweetness and Maracuyá (passionfruit juice) which was tart and tropical. For entrees, we ordered: Lomo Saltado: This classic stir-fry of beef, sautéed onions, and tomatoes, served with fries and rice, hit all the right notes on flavor. The beef was a bit tougher than expected, which took away from the otherwise comforting dish. Pescado a lo Macho: A fried fish fillet topped with seafood in a creamy, aji amarillo sauce. This one leaned a bit too salty for my palate, but the mussel on top was surprisingly tender and packed with flavor. If you like briny flavors, this might be your dish. For dessert, we ordered Helado de Lúcuma (I was hoping for alfajores, but they were out). The flavor was mild, almost earthy-sweet, topped with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. After a few bites, I noticed this wild yam-like aftertaste which was unexpected, but not unpleasant. Higo Peru offers an authentic, homey taste of Peruvian cuisine. It's not without its imperfections, but the soul of the food and the effort of the staff more than make up for it.

    Higo has changed ownership over the last few years. It is much nicely painted and decorated inside with a very friendly staff. My husband and I came here a few times. I forgot to take a picture of their delicious lomo saltado. We also tried their lunch specials which are also very filling. It's a good Peruvian place to try.

    First time here and we had a positive experience. Our server Monica was really nice, the chef was amazing because the food was out of this world! Im surprised there weren't more people in here because this place deserves more business! We will be back soon.

    I haven't been back in so long, so was pleasantly surprised that they've turned into a sit down restaurant; however service and taste were still good. We were hungry, so the 2 of use ordered 5 items and only finished 1. The fried seafood was huge, and was still pretty good even as takeout the next day, as were the sweet potato fries. The plantains were a delight and we enjoyed both the entrees.

    The food here is great. Highly recommend the ceviche, chicken cutlet with green pasta, and the purple corn drink :) the fried seafood platter is A LOT OF FOOD. The restaurant is clean and the service is good. It's hard to find good Peruvian food in this area so we're really lucky it's a good one!

    Food is ok, service is ok. I ordered Saltado de Mariscos, it's $23 and has 4 small pieces of tiny shrimps, 2 ounces of squid and two clams. I was expecting a richer plate with more seafood. It's definitely filling since it has rice and fries but the flavor is bland. The server is nice but slow, she's on her phone while a customer is trying to get her attention. The place isn't busy yet it's just before the dinner rush. Overall a mediocre experience I've been wanting to try Peruvian food for a long time. I'll try the food again but somewhere else.

    Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos. An Peruvian interpretation reflecting the history of Chinese immigrants in Peru. Very good.
    Y T.

    A nice variation from the concentration of Asian especially Chinese cuisine in the local area. Owner was very nice. Checked on all the customers to make sure everyone was happy. Gave us alfajores to try. The prices seem a teensy bit high but the quality was there so I felt it was still woth it on the whole. I really liked the Arroz Chaufa con Mariscos. The dish is influenced by Chinese immigrants in Peru so I feel it's applicable to say I tasted the "breath of wok" or "wok hei" that's highly regarded in fried rice. I like my Lomo Saltado saucy and this fit the bill. Fried Fish with the Tallerin was also fried perfectly. I've only had a few Peruvian meals so I cannot speak on the authenticity but all I know is it tasted great and I would definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

    We are in with this place! So fresh! Everything tastes amazing and plate size is filling…read more Delicious! The staff is amazing kind and friendly. Always have recommendations and kind family atmosphere!

    Probably one of the best Peruvian places I've tried in southern California. This is a small family…read moreowned restaurant in the corner of a small plaza. When we arrived, we were greeted by our nice lady who started us off with waters. She may have been the owner. She was friendly and helped us with our orders as it was our first time at the restaurant. For a party of 4 we ordered: Ceviche Mixto - 10/10 best Peruvian ceviche I've had. And it was full of a variety of seafood - octopus, fish, shrimp, squid. The sauce was perfect. My only complaint is that I wish I had more. Lomo Saltado with noodles - 10/10 This wasn't my order but I wish it was. It was perfectly seasoned and the meat was tender and juicy Tallarin Verde Con Pollo - 9/10 only because the lomo saltado was so good and I wish that it was my order. The chicken was still good, although just a tad on the dry side. The noodles were very flavorful and very saucy as well saltado de mariscos 10/10 delicious. It was full of seafood and very well flavored. Highly recommend for seafood lovers Aguadito de pollo 10/10 Very heart soup. This could be its own meal if you aren't extremely hungry. The soup is savory and so good on a cold day. If you love hearty soups with lots of flavor, this is a go-to! All of the plates were large and very delicious. Next time I 'll be back to order a soup for myself! Highly recommend this location if you're ever in the mood for Peruvian food or want to try something new. You won't be disappointed!
