Wow. This place is incredible. I had never tried Peruvian food before, so I decided to walk into Inti Peruvian Restaurant since it's right in my neighborhood, literally just a block away. There were a lot of people inside, but still a few open tables, so no wait. That was my first sign this place was going to be good. It had that perfect buzz where people are clearly enjoying their food, the energy is up, and the whole space just feels alive. The music was amazing too, super groovy and instantly put me in a good mood. When the woman working thcame over, I told her I'd never had Peruvian food before and mentioned that I like vegetables and shrimp. She immediately said, "I know exactly what to get you," which I loved. I trusted her completely and I'm so glad I did. She brought out the dish (photo attached), and WOW. The flavor was so rich and delicious. I literally inhaled it. It had this perfect mix of comfort and bold flavor with shrimp, rice, vegetables, and even fries worked in there in a way that just made sense. I also ordered a small side salad, which ended up being the perfect balance. It added that fresh, light contrast to the warm, homey main dish. The vibes were great, the service felt personal, and the food completely exceeded my expectations. Definitely coming back and I can't wait to try more dishes. read more

Solid Mom n Pop Peruvian restaurant on Melrose! The portions here were pretty big. Here are some of the dishes my friend and I shared: - Lomo Salatado: This was good, the beef was cooked well, and I enjoyed the flavor. I've had better Lomo saltado elsewhere though. - Tallarin Verde con Bisteck Frito: The pesto pasta was creamy, had good pesto flavor, and the noodles were cooked decently. However, I was a bit disappointed with the steak which was tough and didn't really give that "fried" feel. - Jalea de Pescado con Mariscos: Favorite dish of the night. I liked the variety of all the fried seafood and yucca. The fried shrimp was good and it was even enjoyable to eat the tail. I especially loved the fish which was flavorful and maintained its moistness despite being fried. Topped with fresh onions and crunchy bits, it was a great combo. The staff here were also really nice! There's limited parking in the plaza, but there's some neighborhood street parking nearby. read more

I've been coming here since 2009 . This is one of my favorite Peruvian spots . The husband and I have plans today near Hollywood and we decided to stop and have dinner . The service was great . I always go straight for pescado à la plancha , I've had other items on the menu but this is my favorite. There's always music playing and something to watch on their TV screen . It was pretty busy but our food came by quickly. Give it a try . read more

Uber eats order I've been to inti (in person) years ago and I remember enjoying it and from time to time I have a strong craving for lomo saltado. I saw that they were part of uber eats so I decided to place an order for dinner. The food traveled quite well. Everything was tasty. I asked for them to include extra green hot sauce (aji verde) - I always ask this because sometimes places forget to include the sauces on delivery orders. I was surprised to see that they adjusted the pricing for an additional $1.50 which was fine but in the restaurant itself, they leave a bottle and you can use as much as you want for free. Not a big deal but thought I'd point it out as I've never had a price adjustment like this before. But overall a great delivery option. The flavor was good. The food arrived hot (I chose priority delivery). A great option for peruvian food. read more

My wife and I ordered Inti through Uber Eats one night when we were too lazy to cook or go out. Sometimes the food comes, and is soggy and gross. But the Lomo Saltado we ordered here was delicious and their green sauce has a delicious flavor and very nice spice to it. Really good and we want to try some other dishes there next time! If you like Lomo Saltado, I highly recommend this place!! read more

I ordered 5 lomo saltados and the meat was tiny/small slivers and tough to chew. Lots of potatoes and tomatos to hide the meat and little rice. Not happy $140 not worth it. Never again. Order was a takeout. If in dining I would of have send it back. Very disappointed. Our small easter party was ruined. read more

Located in a corner stripmall unit tucked away from the street. This comfortable Peruvian Restaurant is unassuming for the flavors they put out! The starting bread serving was fresh and tasty. The green salsa that they serve with it is flavorful and spicy. I had the Mar y Tierra (Saltado), Essentially Shrimp and Beef. I found it seasoned well and was very tasty. My wife had the Seafood and Beef Saltado. It was also tasty. I appreciated the server brought me another glass of water without my asking. Very attentive. Overall, a great experience. Now that we know, we will be back. read more

This is a very Mom and Pop vibe Peruvian not your super dressed up but the food here is beyond delicious!! Came here on a whim and absolutely loved it ! I am definitely a lover of Peruvian food specifically Peruvian ceviche, and this location ticked all my boxes! The portions here are very big and the service was very fast and efficient ! Our server took our orders and everything came out hot fresh and tasty! We have the ceviche mixto as our starter, and the portions were a perfect sharing size for everyone at our table! Usually locations are pretty skimpy on this part so I can appreciate this locations portions! Everything was flavorful and in the area I will definitely be giving them a visit again ! read more

The service was great and the food delicious. The arroz chaufa de calamares is biblical, and so is the lomo saltado. Can't wait to be back. read more

A complete hole in the wall but one you need to find yourself at. Excuse how poorly I took pictures but know that the food here is insanely delicious. I got their fish saltado which is tender chunks of friend fish in a sauce I wish I could bathe in loaded with fries and onions. My mouth is watering just remembering it. We also got their ceviche which was incredibly fresh and perfectly served with onions and boiled potatoes. read more

I was a die hard fan of the other local peruvian spot for 20+ years and now I regret not giving this place a chance. Above all the service is amazing but the food- fresh and delicious. One of the few places I won't DoorDash because it's that much better in person. read more

Inti Peruvian Restaurant is a little hidden gem. You may call it a hole in the wall type of place if you want and the restaurant's quaint and family feel might direct you to such thoughts; it's totally homey with no pretentious feeling of any sort and with a very basic look and feel. It's tucked away in the corner of a strip mall type of place. Parking is limited. The service was nice and friendly. My friend spoke Spanish though to the service staff and was commenting about things I would say to make them happy and show that I was pleased. We ordered several things as a party of three and all were really excellent. The portions are very good. Bread was served with a spicy green sauce. The green sauce is great! Ceviche Mixto - Ceviche with calamari, shrimp, octopus, and fish. Served with a potato, sweet potato and cancha (large-kerneled corn). A very generous portion and all tasted fresh. Lomo Saltado Strips of beef sauteed with onions, tomatoes, and french fries. Served with white rice. I've been waiting to try the infamous lomo saltado dishes of Peruvian cuisine and their version here did not disappoint. Everything was seasoned well. The meat was tender, fries cooked well, and the sauce was so amazing. The rice was nicely made as well. I can eat this every day and be happy. Tallarin Saltado De Carne - Strips of beef and pasta satueed with green onions and tomatoes. Friend's kid had this and enjoyed. Calamares Fritos - Good portion and golden brown. Friend's daughter devoured this. Inca Kola - A Peruvian soft drink. Slight sweet taste. Reminded me of Mountain Dew. Maracuya - Refreshing passion fruit drink read more

Came here on a whim and will absolutely be back! Place is a little small but well spaced with tables and clean. Our server was so friendly, quick, and helpful with the few questions we had. The food was delightful! My husband got the Lomo Saltado. Although I'm not a big beef eater, this might have been one of the best beef dishes I've ever had. It was seasoned to perfection (a hair salty, but I like it like that) and the gravy that it was sitting in made both of us clean the plate with the bread that's given at the start. That bread came warm and crusty. I got the Pescado Saltado, also generously seasoned. The smaller bits of fish were a bit overcooked but the taste of everything made it completely worth it. Regrettably, it didn't have as much mouth-watering gravy as was with the beef but I just stole from my husbands plate. Both drinks were fantastic. TheChica Morada had a good bit of cinnamon (?) so it was a delicious mixture of spiced and sweet. The Maracuya was refreshing! I saw the menu offered a vegetarian Saltado and I can't wait to go back to try! read more

Family restaurant, best lomo saltado I've had outside my own kitchen. Finally a Peruvian restaurant that gets it right! Chicha was so delish as well. It's purple corn drink, don't knock it til you've tried it here. So good. We got a second lomo, yeah it was that good. Service was good, they brought bread and will bring more, just ask. Clean bathroom. Wish Peruvian food was this great in Oceanside read more

I needed to get a Father's Day dinner, so I headed over to Mario's Peruvian. However, I realized they didn't have any parking, so I ended up at this location. It had been years since I had been there, but they proved me wrong. I ordered the lomo saltado and the siete mares soup. The meat was tender, and everyone in my family enjoyed the soup. The only mishap they ran out of bread, go support read more

Good food. Large portions and good service! Authentic dishes. Ceviche and lomo saltado are excellent.

I used to dine here twice a week for a few years until my job took me out of the area. It's been at least 10 years since I have been back and happy to see that they survived the many struggles. The food is just as good as I remembered it and the portions are still pretty big. My favorite thing they have here is the aji verde sauce that they give you with bread and you can use it on your entree. The sauce is very flavorful but not as spicy as I remember it. It was pretty busy most with take out orders and that did cause a bit of slow service but was understandable. It's located on a busy street in a small strip mall and it's fairly well kept up, bright and can get a little loud but nothing to complain about. read more

Very authentic Peruvian food. I am Peruvian and felt at home. Very homie. Will be back and back and back

One of the best Peruvian food I ever ate, really good service, and really clean and nice ambiance. Thank you for your hospitality.

This restaurant is small, quaint, not at all pretty but the food is delicious therefore its homey, robust, and special. The Lomo Saltado is simply delicious. I also ordered a chicha morada which was really good. It's such a rare thing to go to a place and enjoy the food 100% but thats what happened. The service was great as well. If I could give one note it would be to select a different bread to serve. Something fresher but other than that I really loved the place. I look forward to coming back! read more

Food was really bad! Everything we order wasn't good, only good the service and big portions.

Only the second Peruvian restaurant that I've been to, but omg it was so good. The food was beyond expectations! Lomo Saltado: very well-seasoned meat and fries. Our favorite! Sopa a la criolla: warm soup that is a little milky - goes really well with the Lomo Saltado. Second favorite! Papa à la Huancana: Potatoes in really good sauce. Not bad at all. read more

All I need to say about Inti is that when I fly back to LA this place is a MUST STOP. Chaufa and ceviche, every time. They make my favorite Peruvian green sauce, of any I have tried...and their ceviche has me ruined for any other. Tiny spot, literally in a tiny parking lot, in a corner. You know in LA that the BEST places look like a little hole in the wall. Inti stands on perfection. The staff are happy and friendly, always. If you have never tried Peruvian-style ceviche, why not? You will never do ceviche any other way once you try Inti's! read more

I was 100% in when I tasted the green sauce she brought to our table with the butter and bread as we sat at our table,a big screen TV had a soccer game playing in the background, a nice hole in the wall vibe,comfortable and was cool,people laughing,family sharing food with each other,I instantly felt good upon entering. During our lunch,We finished the whole bottle between the 3 of us...the bread served while you look over their menu is soft and delicious, served with pats of real butter and that green sauce,I put, it on everything I ordered...the food here is authentic Peruvian food and it's absolutely delicious! The service from the woman who took our order was fantastic, very attentive, she was on the ball, filling glasses with water, coming to check on us throughout our time there,making sure if we needed anything, I was very impressed with this place and 'LOVED" their food,everything I tried I liked...The shrimp civichie was my favorite((see pic I posted.)) Tender shrimp in a lemon sauce,hominy, toasted pine nuts, sweet potato slice,...reg. Potato too...Delicious! Just know,it's small inside... about 10 tables, and if I drove down there to eat and it was full, I would most definitely wait..the food is that good...! I definitely recommend" trying this place out. I will be back,making this spot one of my regular go to'z! read more

Very well flavored and seasoned. Substituted the white rice in the limo saltado for fried rice. Big fan of Peruvian food. Happy I found this place. Only reason I did not give 5 stars was because the waitress was really rude to my friend and I. But eventually we got a different waitress who was very sweet and gave us her personal favorites. read more
