She said the ceviche wasn't ready and would take 15 minutes but it's one of my favs so I decided to wait. It was well worth it - big chunks of fish perfectly flavored in the citrus juices and seasonings. The don saltado had large pieces of steak and really great flavors. It came with a side of garlic (yes garlic) rice, and plantains. Overall the food was delicious and we had wonderful service. Prices are a little on the high side. They do have lunch specials but the 2 dishes we wanted were not on it unfortunately, so maybe we'll try something on it next time. Easy to find restaurant with some parking right in the front.

You can really taste the quality of the ingredients in every dish. The service is fast and friendly. The standout for me was the Lomo Montado--absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. The meat was tender, perfectly cooked, and paired beautifully with the other components on the plate. Beyond the food, the restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy great food, and have a good time with family and friends. I'm so glad I found this gem and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend it to anyone looking to try authentic and delicious Peruvian cuisine!

Ever walk out of a restaurant as if it were the walk of shame? Asking yourself, "man! What did I…read morejust pay $100+ for?" Now, different strokes and all that, I understand and respect other people's opinion and taste... and if being covered in doubt as you walk out of a restaurant is your thing, go nuts... do it... twice on Sundays and national holidays. The food is definitely sub-par... i think it is a matter of competition, there isn't much. The service... meh. The prices, of course the prices are high. $100+ for 2 adults and a 4 year old. And the price to portion ratio, ridiculously off balance. You would think they'd say, "if i am going to charge $25 for a plate, let me throw a few more extra grains of rice on the plate... rice is cheap." And I know what you're thinking: Well, it's a cultural thing. Nope. No it isn't. I've been eating Peruvian food for 20+ years. I will grant you that it hasn't always been in LA. Well, those are my 2 cents... don't spend them all in one place.

My husband and I stumbled upon this restaurant because we were heading to the movie theater right…read moreacross from it, and since we're big Thai food lovers we decided to take a chance. Immediately upon entering, I fell in love with the decor. Restaurant is pretty fancy. They had a variety of dishes that all looked delicious, along with a really great alcoholic and non-alcoholic menu. I went with a cappuccino, which was BOMB. We ordered noodles and spicy fried rice with beef, and everything was a 5/5 for us. This is truly a great spot for date night or for a meal after catching a movie. We came here a handful of times before moving, but we'd absolutely dine here again if we're ever in the area.

The service was ok and the food was good but I didn't like the ambiance in the restaurant as I thought it was too cluttered and perhaps it had a dark atmosphere. I think this restaurant could do with a makeover-- just to freshen things up and give it a better atmosphere and make it more appealing. The truth sometimes hurts I know but I can't see me going back unless I the restaurant has made some changes which removes the gloomy and cluttered appearance.

My first time trying Peruvian food and wow!!…read more The Lomo Saltado was so tender and flavorful. The fried fish tacos were perfectly battered and fried, I liked the onions on top as it helps cut through the friedness of it all. Yucca fries were delish, dip it in the green sauce and it's perfection. The ceviche was fresh and bright. Love the citrusy sauce at the bottom, yum! The corn is not like the regular corn we have at the grocery store. It has a bit more bite to it in terms of texture like it's not soft. Passion fruit juice was absolutely needed after all day on the beach. The cake has swirls of dulce de leche, very tasty. I would come back just for the lomo saltado alone! Service was friendly and fast. They have a few tables inside and a few outside. Right on the Venice boardwalk so if you dine outside, you also get a show with your meal.

March 20, 2026 | Friday | Venice Beach Boardwalk | What a fun and continued adventure when I met up…read morewith my neighbor once again, as I randomly spotted a colorful looking exotic restaurant! The location turned out to be El Huarique Peruvian Kitchen! What a delicious find that turns up the flavor and definitely the heat! Be careful what you ask for! Haha! Fish Ceviche | Yes, please! Now, at first bite, for some odd reason, I thought the dish was going to be hot, but it was cold and absolutely delicious! Taking our server Mauricio's advice, I tried each item separately on my plate and then mixed it up... Yummy! New flavors had my taste buds doing a happy dance over and over again! Haha! I would absolutely 100% get this dish again! The flavors were electric once combined! Turn up the Heat | Our server Mauricio asked my spice level and I confidently said spicy! He asked if I was sure and I told him the story about me being in India, requesting a spicier version of a dish & the Chef coming out to take a look at me, because he couldn't believe I wanted spicier! Haha! Comedy Hour | I was enjoying every flavorful bite of the Fish Ceviche, when all of a sudden my body started to heat up! I was like, I can handle a bit of spice... And then suddenly my tongue got really warm and I could hardly feel it... Then my eyes started to water... And suddenly I lost focus in the conversation I was having with my friend & the traveler! I could hardly talk, because it was honestly that spicy! Haha! I bet it was also the sneaky little red onions, in addition to the other spices! Help, Please | I spotted Mauricio and asked him if he had any bread or yogurt, because my mouth was on fire! He didn't! He recommended water, which I had already tried! My friend, she recommended plantains, which I had also tried! The traveler ended up recommending the lettuce on my plate, which ended up helping for sure! After a while, my mouth started to cool down, thank goodness! Eye Spot Spice | Just when my mouth started to cool down, my friend accidentally touched her eye, which must have had spice on it! The girl at the next table, dining with her significant other, immediately came to her rescue! I asked our server Mauricio for a cup of water so she could flush out her eye! The girl at the next table told her to rub her eye with her hair... Which oddly helped! Plantains | I can always appreciate plantains, as I love them! They arrived at our table and quite plentiful! I appreciated that the flavor was just the right amount of sweet and savory... Perfect! As conversation flowed easily between me, my friend, and the traveler! I invited him to enjoy the plantains with us, which he did! Fried Rice | My friend, ordered this dish and invited me to share it with her! OMG! I highly recommend, so flavorful and definitely shareable! I happily enjoyed every bite that I put onto my plate! Customer Service | Mauricio was top-tier! He was patient, kind and so much fun to explore the menu with! He really wanted us to have the Peruvian experience, considering it was both me and my friends first time having Peruvian food... as far as I know! Seating | Both inside and outside! We sat on the outside patio! Happy Meeting | While waiting for my friend to arrive at the restaurant, a friendly worldwide traveler, who was currently in town, helped me with the menu! Though his meal included chicken, a dish he frequently orders when he's in town, he invited me to explore the veggie part of the menu and mentioned that the food was really good here! Something made me trust his recommendation and I'm glad I did! We had fun chatting with the friendly traveler! Overall | Oh my goodness! Hahaha! Between the flavorful Fish Ceviche that was too hot to handle, sweet and savory Plantains, the customer service via Mauricio, an extension of me and my friends spa day, & other friendly customers, made for a memorable evening! I'm excited to do it again, definitely turning down the spice level and exploring more of the menu! Thanks again, Mauricio & the friendly traveler! We shall all meet again! Let's go!!

My family and I have been coming here for decades but it's not my love for this restaurant, it's…read morebecause my wife loves their oxtail stew (Rabo Encendido). So we come here for her. I've tried almost everything on their menu and was never able to find something i ordered enjoyable. It's just not for me. This visit I ordered their Lomo Salteado and the meat was extremely rubbery and unpleasant. My daughter ordered their chicken empanadas and it was a hard no for her too. When we were ready to close out, I asked the waiter as he was clearing some things on our table, if he could bring some to-go boxes when he had a moment for things we didn't finish so we could take them home. He had a butter knife in his hands and threw it onto the table. Rough day I guess. I personally would not come here myself, but continue to do so for my wife. Will update my review when I visit again. Until next time. . .

Listo El Pollo has these three sauces, the yellow, white and the green, when you put them all together on the Lomo it is absolutely delectable, amazing flavour. The wood fired chicken is very good too, as well as their ceviche options. If you dine in, it's a small room with enough tables to accommodate most of the time, they bring out your drinks, plates and sauces to use, great service. They have a large TV and the dining room is a dark brown, very cool experience. Absolutely delicious Peruvian food, give it a try if you're in the area. Parking can be limited as it is a small lot.

DON'T EVER ORDER FOOD FROM THIS RESTAURANT!!!!!!!…read more I had a really disappointing and honestly concerning experience at this restaurant. I was served chicken that was clearly undercooked--raw in the center. That's not just a minor mistake, it's a serious health risk. When I brought it to the staff's attention, the response felt dismissive rather than urgent, which made the situation even worse. Food safety should be the bare minimum, and this was a complete failure. I won't be returning, and I strongly recommend others double-check their food before eating here!!!

Johnny Pacific has a great reputation of being a special gem, specializing in Latin-Caribbean and…read morePacific Island inspired empanadas. It's been around for over 20 years and is currently in a newer space than it was before; featuring more parking and a larger space. Ambiance: The interior has a relaxed feel with beachy surfer themed decor. It has a clean modern feel with a bunch of tables featuring accent colored chairs. There is music in the background and a TV on the wall featuring surfing videos. Service: You order at the counter, they ring you up and you get the food brought out. You can see the kitchen as it's open. It was my first time and it was a simple and easy experience. Everything came out in a timely fashion. Food: Some of their specialities include the 20+variations of fried empanadas (meats, chicken, pork, veggie, dessert) that come in both savory and sweet types, as well as their speciality plates such as their Korean-style flat iron steak skewers and chicken satay. The sauces they serve with their empanadas are incredible and some of the best I've ever had such as their chimmi-churri, basil-aioli and sweet & sour Thai. I recently did the lunch combo featuring a choice of a 1/2 salad or 1/2 fries, choice of any two empanadas and a canned drink. I chose beef and Kailua pig empanadas; both were great, empanadas didn't break apart and were crispy, everything was seasoned well; the filling of the beef was a bit more than the Kailua pig however. Drinks: They have various drinks such as lemonade, juices, sodas/soft drinks, and some beers on tap. Parking: The lot is large and has ample parking depending on the day and time. Prices: Prices are to the times that we're in...so not too great. Ala carte empanadas are $5+ but as you order more (4, 12) the prices come down a slight bit.
