I got a whole chicken with the sides and I decided to try the Peruvian ceviche. The chicken was good, seasoning was there. It was already precut for me so that's was kind. I was really looking forward to the ceviche and it was not good. The lime juice or the leche de Tigre was very bitter, and it just didn't taste good... Something was off about the ceviche, perhaps it spoiled quickly as my drive back home was an hour, i unfortunately had to throw it away because it did not taste edible. Service is quite friendly, and quick. I'd come give it a second try for the ceviche, maybe it was not the freshest batch or my commute was too long but I don't think food spoils that rapidly. Either way I definitely recommend the rotisserie chicken with the sides!

A happy birthday lunch was had here for our first visit - and we're better for it. I got the…read moreBurrito Saltado and my birthday buddy tried the Lomo Saltado. We shared a side of fried plantains. I'm a sucker for a lot of fusion-esque burritos that wrap up traditional cuisine dishes in a flour tortilla. The tortilla usually tastes of higher quality (ALWAYS a highlight) and I was most interested in having a familiar dish spun a little differently. It did not disappoint when it came to the expected flavoring of the veggies and lomo saltado style steak. There was plenty of filling and it sang with the aji verde and orange pepper sauces, but it ultimately was not a revelation. The traditional Lomo Saltado plate was not culinary brilliance either, but it was the favored of the two selections, as it featured the grill in the back of the kitchen more effectively. Anything that is exemplary of mainstay dishes from a regional category is still very special, and this plate will be worth returning for. That, and of course the Inka Cola I've always had to order with my Peruvian plates, where available. This place boasts really good roasted chicken and when you see working men order the la brasa by the basketfull for lunch, you start making conclusions about what an authentic experience at an establishment looks like. So we plan to eat what the regulars do upon the next visit. We weren't burned for starting with the cow though. Guess I had to have my birthday steak one way or another.

So sad to find out they're permanently closed. Best Peruvian chicken in the valley, hands down. Now…read moreI'll have to wait til I'm in LA to stop by Pollo a La Brasa.

My coworker and I decided to phone in our order ahead of our lunch time. We were quoted that it would be ready within 15 minutes. That's speedy service for you. We took our order to go, although the restaurant itself gave off cozy vibes internally. Decorated with flags from different countries. I ordered the "Lomo Saltado" which is a combo of white rice, strips of beef, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and French fries. This combo included an appetizer and I went with the "Papa a La Huancaina" it is Boiled potatoes topped with a creamy, spicy cheese sauce, garnished with olives and hard-boiled eggs. (note mine did not come with olives or hard-boiled eggs) For the Lomo Saltado: I really enjoyed the flavors of the sautéed onions, tomatoes, cilantro and the stripes of beef on top all sitting on french fries, wish it came with a little more meat. The juices that are released from the veggie and beef mix get absorbed by the French fries and so it elevates them, make sure to not let them sit for too long. They offer a larger plate with more meat, FYI. 4/5 very generous portions of white rice served along. For the Papa a La Huancaina: 3/5 the boiled potato went well with the creamy topping sauce. But mine did not come garnished nor a hardboiled egg in it. This is a cold dish-not hot but still delicious and different. overall, a decent peruvian restaurant near by, give them a shot next time you are around the area.

So we went to Chios well the parking lot is very easy to park, it is adjacent to sizzler's restaurant. My friend Laurence chose a chicken tamal, Peruvian style, and fried plantains. My friend Evelyne chose a vegetarian Tallarin, with green fettuccine, and a bowl of vegetables, since she's vegetarian! At first, they had brought her the tallarin with the chicken milanesa, but she returned the order since she's vegetarian, and received the tallarin with vegetables: shereally love it! And personally, I ordered de aguatito de Pescado y mariscos: it is a green colored seafood soup, with peas and rice; it was my first time ordering that and I really liked it although I thought the green broth was a little bit too thin so I ordered a little more rice to put in it!
