    Spoiled lettuce
    Dania Isamar L.

    We love Peruvian pollo ala brasa. I've had it all over LA and this one is by far one of the best ones. The chicken is so flavorful and juicy. I am not a fan of white meat. I am a dark meat only kind of gal. But let me tell you something: the white meat at this restaurant is phenomenal. So full of flavor and so moist. The reason why I only gave them 4 stars is mainly due to the lettuce I was served. My lettuce was wilted and honestly I'd consider it spoiled. Had to throw all of it away. Honestly both the lettuce and the dressing weren't good. I'd stick to the rice and fries next time. The amount of rice you get is also quite small but the amount of fries you get is pretty decent.

    I finally stopped by Loli Farms last night. I used to go to Eagle Rock for my Pollos à la brasa fix. It is wonderful having a near-by spot that serves terrific pollos à la brasa. There is a nice outdoor patio to dine. The interior is spacious and clean. They had fans and the A/C running to help keep us all cool on such a hot night. The staff were diverse and very friendly. I truly appreciate such attentive and nice service. It goes a long way. Thank you for being so kind. We ordered the milanesa, 1/2 pollo à la brasa, fries and rice. All of the food was delicious! The pollo was succulent and delicious. My milanesa was prepared fresh, looked great, and was satisfying. I was elated when the polite young lady told me they had aji verde and crema de ajo in the squeezed bottles in the freezer. I added so much to meal! Both were delicious. The fries were freshly chopped and welcomed. The store has so many little offerings that make me happy to see. Inca Cola, miga de jamón, paneton etc. I also admired their crochet figures. As an Argentine-American this place makes me happy as I love Peruvian food and believe in solidarity! I cannot wait to try their lomito! I'll be back.

    1/4 chicken (dark meat) with garlic fries and plantains
    Tab L.

    Been wanting to check this place out for a while so when my friend wanted to meet up I suggested this place. Rosette and I both got the 1/4 chicken meal which comes with two sides for $14. I got dark meat as I often find white meat dry. She got white and said it was very juicy. Which was also the case with dark. We both alls got garlic fries as our sides. While good it wasn't very garlicky. I had the plantains as well. She had this black beans and quinoa salad which she said was more black beans. We both enjoyed it. I also had their black berry juice.

    Being a Pasadena local for 4 years, I did not know about this place (literally in my backyard) until very recently. Having visited Peru, I am naturally drawn to all things Peruvian and this little no-name Peruvian chicken shop / convenience store must be one of Pasadena's best kept secrets. Their bottled chicha morada (5 stars) tastes just like what I had in Peru (better than Bodegon No.69 in Old Town). Their chicken (3 stars), as others have noted, is extremely salty. For $24 whole chicken (a' la carte) I expected better. Dipping in the sauces helps to balance out the sodium (1 sweet and tangy, 1 very spicy green chili) but a well-roasted chicken does not need any sauce. I plan to check out another Peruvian place in Pasadena (El Dorado Pollos A La Brasa) and write a comparison update.

    First time visiting, great food & drinks, affordable prices & quick service. There's a small parking lot or street parking with indoor & outdoor seating. We got the family style whole chicken which comes with 3 sides and a drink (Big 2 liter Inca cola or 2 soda cans). The family meal can feed 3-4 people and cost $45. The rotisserie chicken was tender & flavorful. We also enjoyed the plantains, sweet potato fries, fried yucca & cucumber salad. There's free sauces you can grab in the fridge & they also have delicious house made drinks like Peruvian herb, blackberry agua fresca & passionfruit agua fresca. We arrived on a Saturday at 7p, thankfully we didn't have to wait & ordered right away. We had a great experience & will definitely return!

    1/2 chicken with white rice and house salad
    Peter H.

    There's a certain charm to a dinery with no signage, kinda like walking into someone's home that happens to house large rotisserie ovens. The bright lights and colors along with the wonderful smells of roasted poultry...it's like the warmth and affection of a friendly hug. Music was playing a mix of Pitbull songs that evening, and the line had a good number of folks. A single unisex restroom was located outside around the corner, protected by a keypad lock. As recommended by my friend, I went with the half chicken to guarantee satiety, with my two sides being the white rice and house salad. Although we were eating in, the only utensils available were takeout plastic ones. I have to say, I had a great time eating that half chicken, practically inhaling it out of my hands. Very flavorful and succulent when hot and fresh. Although it was finger lickin' good, some self-control was in place. The white rice was okay, though it was a bit dry, and the salad tasted plain. The solution was submerging the two with aji verde. Wouldn't mind returning for more chicken or perhaps try their sandwiches.

    WHOLE CHICKEN
    Nixon V.

    Great Chicken & Definitely Worth the Wait Tried Loli Farm and ordered the whole chicken meal, which comes with three sides and a 2-liter soda. We went with the garlic fries, white rice, and coleslaw. The chicken was delicious, nicely charred on the outside, juicy, and full of flavor. The garlic fries were especially good and they definitely don't skimp on the portion. Everything together was plenty of food to share. The staff was super friendly, which made the experience even better. There was a pretty long line to get our food, so be prepared to wait a little, but at least for us, the food was worth it. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when craving some good rotisserie chicken!

    Pollo A La Brasa
    Edward S.

    Loli Farms is my kind of place. At this former gas station, you can try their amazing pollo a la brasa (Peruvian rotisserie chicken) and a mini market selling Peruvian goods on the side. The laid back atmosphere includes a large open space inside with communal tables and a covered patio outside. Pollo A La Brasa: The pricing for upgrading from the quarter to the half to the whole is tempting. Why not get a half or even a whole? I'm happy with a quarter. The giant metal tray contains a thigh and drumstick in a pool of juices. The rotisserie oven has infused the meat with the smoke from three types of wood. A marinade of garlic, paprika, cumin, and other herbs provides a burst of flavor to the juicy and tender chicken. Grab some squeeze bottles of the aji verde and aji amarillo sauces from the big glass fridge in the back. I could easily drink the delicious aji verde and its cilantro, garlic, lime, mint, and mayo, but instead use it for the crispy and soft garlic fries. Some of the aji amarillo goes well in the bowl of creamy and plump canary beans. Parking: There's a chaotic lot with a few spaces next to Pie 'n Burger, but it's probably easier to park out front on California.

    WHOLE CHICKEN with two sides
    Sophia A.

    Bomb chicken!! We absolutely would have devoured this chicken plate if it wasn't so massive. It was so flavorful, perfectly juicy, and paired so well with the sides. You get to choose from about 10 different sides, but the plantains were an absolute must, seriously! And don't skip the complimentary spicy Aji green sauce. If it's not already on your table, check the fridge and grab a bottle. It takes everything to the next level. They also have a great variety of drinks. We loved the mango drink and poured it over ice, very refreshing. Just a heads up, the water station, plates, and utensils are self serve. We'll be trying the big bottle of red soda that everyone seems to get next time. Their lomos and other dishes are always good too! We've always loved loli farms but will definitely be back to try more of the sides and desserts

    Whole Chicken & 2 sides
    Joann V.

    3.6 stars Another one of my bookmarked restaurants tried! I know absolutely nothing about Peruvian food and think this restaurant is a very good gateway restaurant for people like me because who isn't familiar with chicken, salads, and fries, right? We got the Whole Chicken w/ 2 sides ($30). The chicken was juicy and tender. Spice and taste-wise, I don't know if there is any spice that make me think, "oh this is Peruvian rostisserie chicken!". It's just like any other rotisserie chicken. For the sides, we got cole slaw and sweet potato fries. Sweet potato fries were stellar! The cole slaw was bland and watery, but it actually went well with the well-seasoned chicken. And the good news is the food comes out within 3-5 minutes after paying and grabbing utensils. There were a some minor inconveniences that I just couldn't not notice. Parking is free, but it is limited to about 6-8 spots. I had to park a couple blocks down. There are plenty of seating, but the place gets packed. There was a line out the door, which is great for business, but the AC just wasn't cooling the restaurant enough because the door is wide open. I was sweating the whole time I was eating, which is kinda gross to me. The beverage fridge was far from the register and I think some people do get confused as to whether the beverages are free. The guy at the counter was also taking phone calls after every customer's order. Again, great for business, but it definitely slows the line down. Overall, I think the food is good, but everything else just makes it too uncomfortable on hot days.

    PLANTO FRITO SML
    Cady N.

    A whole chicken ($30, including 2 sides) is the perfect amount to feed two people. The chicken was FANTASTIC; the skin was so flavorful and the chicken itself was so juicy. I also loved the fried plantains!! Plenty of seating indoor and outdoors. Don't be intimidated by the line, it goes by quite quickly!

    My friend and I recently tried this place after spending the afternoon at Huntington Gardens. It was a hot day and we were definitely ready for a light dinner. This location was difficult to find because there isn't a noticeable sign out front. My GPS told me I arrived, but I thought it was wrong. It is adjacent to a gas station. and just not somewhere I would notice easily. The inside is nice and clean and had quite a few customers. It is also a deli and market. The beverages as well as all kinds of cooked and packaged snack snacks are scattered throughout the room. This business has high reviews on Yelp, which is why we chose it. I ordered one of the most basic roast chicken dishes. The chicken was definitely tender and appeared very high-quality as it was not huge pieces. But my chicken was pink in some areas - not cooked enough for my comfort level. The skin was soft. I'm not sure if that is a cultural difference, but I have not had roast chicken without crispy skin even at other Peruvian establishments. The seasoning, however, was very good and the sauces were also delicious. I got the cucumber tomato salad on the side, which tasted fantastic with the green sauce added in. The garlic fries were also on the limp side for me. I don't know again if that is a cultural difference . I felt like it needed a second fry. I did enjoy the garlic and herb sprinkled on the fries and took them home to air fry them to make them crispier. I am not sure if it was an off day for us. My friend had similar feedback on her dish. We both ordered the same thing except she ordered the white meat and I ordered the dark meat. Like I said, I'm definitely in the minority of not liking it that much. I have some favorites in the area for grilled chicken and would probably opt for those.

    Such a gem of a place in Pasadena if you're in the mood for Peruvian food or just good food in general. Situated in the corner of California and Lake, parking can be quite difficult especially at lunch or dinner hours. Plan accordingly because it can get quite busy around prime dining hours. They specialize in pollo la brasa, Peruvian roast chicken and it's truly delicious. You have the choice of 1/4, 1/2 and whole chicken meals which comes with 2 sides. There are also family meals for larger parties as well. Indoor seating is on the smaller side so it does get filled fast. Inside they also sell Peruvian snacks and drinks, has a small market type of feel. Plenty of outdoor seating as well. Chicken is super flavorful, juicy and delicious. Do get extra sauces because it is delicious. I like the yellow more than the green. Green has a good spice as well. Plantains, sweet potato fries are my favorite sides so far. Can't want to come back to try some more of the menu.

Tender, juicy beef, delicious fries and sauce, white rice, red onions, and roasted red peppers. The Pollo à la Brasa was off the hook. We got a half chicken with fried plantains and Peruvian beans. Absolutely delectable. Chicken was juicy and tender with perfectly crisp skin. Seasoning was just right. Fried plantains were best I've ever had. Lightly fried with a moist and lightly sweet interior. We also tried an order of Papas Huancaina. The potatoes were perfectly tender, and the sauce had a nice little kick without being too much. Service was impeccable. People constantly checked on us on the patio. The World Cup was playing on two flatscreen TVs on the patio and two flatscreen TVs inside. Everyone here is happy! Restrooms are incredibly clean and surprisingly lovely with scented candles and plants. El Dorado exceeded my expectations and I'll definitely be back. If you're a fan of Peruvian cuisine in a casual but lovely and comfy atmosphere, you must come. El Dorado Pollos a la Brasa is authentic and friendly and delicious and perfect.

We started at the bar with Ernesto, who was wonderful. He recommended the Moscow Mule because they make their ginger syrup in-house, and it was delicious. The red sangria was also a hit. For happy hour food, we tried the spicy beef empanadas, 5 oz skirt steak (entraña) with peppercorn sauce, and cebiche mixto. Everything was great. Our only mistake was not ordering fries to dip into that peppercorn sauce! After happy hour, we moved to our table and met our server Eder. He was sweet, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu and wine. He made an excellent wine recommendation to pair with our dinner and started us off with complimentary warm baguette and classic chimichurri. For dinner, we ordered the Tabla Mixta with ribeye and short ribs. The meats arrived sizzling on cast iron and were cooked perfectly medium-rare. It came with three chimichurri sauces, with the garlic chimichurri being my favorite. Honestly, the meats were seasoned so well they didn't even need sauce. We also tried the Arroz con Mariscos and added Argentinean chorizo. The octopus, mussels, clams, shrimp, and scallops were all cooked perfectly. The rice was a little too wet for my preference since I enjoy the crispy, scorched bottom of a Spanish-style paella, but the seafood itself was excellent. The ambiance is lively and can get pretty loud, so we had to speak a little louder than normal. My only real complaint was the temperature in the main dining room. It was extremely warm throughout our visit, even with the AC supposedly running at full power. Interestingly, the area near the restrooms was noticeably cooler. This was really the only thing keeping our experience from being 5 stars. Parking around Green Street can be challenging, but street parking is free. We got lucky and found a spot down the block. There's also a paid public lot near Green and Mentor. Overall, Malbec delivered excellent food and even better service. Ernesto and Eder were both fantastic and really elevated our experience. We'll definitely be back for happy hour and dinner with friends and family.

    I've had these photos sitting in my camera roll for quite some time, and I kept telling myself,…read more"I'll leave a review soon." When I finally logged into Yelp to do just that, I was genuinely saddened to see that this place has since closed. It honestly broke my heart, because this was one of those dining experiences that truly stayed with me. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was stunning--beautiful rooftop vibes, warm energy, and a space that immediately made you feel like you were about to experience something special. The food itself was absolutely phenomenal. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully executed, beautifully plated, and bursting with flavor. You could taste the care, creativity, and intention behind each bite. The Peruvian inspiration throughout the menu was both authentic and elevated, striking the perfect balance between comfort and sophistication. One of the most memorable parts of the experience was the chef herself coming out to introduce herself. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and passionate. You could tell she truly poured her heart into her food. She took the time to explain the inspiration behind the dishes, and it made the entire meal feel even more meaningful. That level of personal touch is rare and so appreciated. Looking back at these photos now just reminds me how special this place was. Delicious food, a talented and thoughtful chef, and an overall experience that left a lasting impression. It's such a shame this spot is no longer around, because it truly deserved all the love and recognition. If the chef ever opens another concept, I will absolutely be first in line. Thank you for such a memorable meal--this is one I won't forget.

    Food was great. I ordered one drink: PISCO PAINKILLER and it was all foam, ice, and only 3-5 sips…read moreof the drink itself. Not worth it for only a few sips. It was cashless payment. I just saw my receipt and there are all these up charges: 1% service charge, 4% benefits surcharge, and another charge to use the cashless Sunday platform fee of $1.49, plus automatic gratuity, in case you didn't know and you tip on top of that. For the quinoa beet salad and a drink it was almost $60, not worth the meal but it was a cute rooftop place to try out.

Called in my order on the way home and it was ready exactly in the time they said it would be. There is plenty of parking and inside had a good amount of tables to dine in. Ordered chicken, Lomo saltado and an aguadito. Everything was delicious, the chicken had a good char but not burnt and yet still very juicy. Rice and beans were flavorful and the beef was tender and not greasy. The chicken had a unique seasoning that I haven't tasted in the Peruvian style chicken before, but it was good and different. The place was busy and the staff were still friendly and managed to get everything in the order correct.

It also came with a side of tortilla and they give you a good amount of sauce to go with it. The chicken was flavorful with nice char and not very dry like a lot of rotisserie chicken (see picture). The rice was also seasoned and aromatic. The beans were just okay, a little watery. The red sauce had a strong kick and spicy in a good way. The aji was nice and had a bit of spice as well. The pico de gallo was standard and the chimichuri was okay. It's a smaller establishment with some seating inside, but seems most people take it to go. The place felt fairly full when we arrived. The staff were very friendly. Overall was about $37 with tax. Very good quality and quantity at that price!

Everything was fresh and full of flavor. The chicken was juicy, the lomo was cooked perfectly, and the ceviche was a great way to kick things off. We also grabbed a 2-liter of Inca Kola for the table, which always hits the spot with Peruvian food. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is the service. It wasn't bad, just a little slow and not very attentive. The food definitely made up for it though, and I'd still come back. If you're looking for good Peruvian food in Eagle Rock, this place is worth checking out.

But I placed my first order through Doordash, and I'm glad that I did! We ordered: rotisserie chicken fried yucca lomo saltado with pasta I've been looking for a place that serviced polla a la brasa, and I found it! There used to be a place in Glendale, but they stopped serving it. The chicken was super flavorful, and lots of portions too. The lomo saltado was also a good portion too. We were eating leftovers for days! The yucca frita was tasty too. Next time I feel like Doordash, I'm going to remember this place!

But there was so much to eat and it was all so flavorful. The ceviche classico is some of the best I've had in years. Lots of fish, tangy, incredible with the Peruvian corn and sweet potato fixins. Sandwich de lomito was chonky and saucy and hit the spot. Aguadito de pollo really tasted like a savory delicacy, tender chicken and a good deal at under $7 for a decent-sized cup. Overall, it's pricy but the dishes are delicious and thoughtfully made. Excited to eat some leftovers today.

The Peruvian food is still as good now as it was then. I ordered the Aquadito de Pollo which is a chicken soup with a distinct herbal flavor. There is plenty of tender chicken in the soup. It was a good start to my main which was Saltado de Pollo, my favorite. The dish was nicely prepared with a good ratio mix of chicken, onions, tomatoes, and French fries. It was not too salty at all. Rosty seems to make an exemplary Saltado de Pollo. The Chicha Morada was refreshing with the meal. I would return to Rosty if I am in the area again. Dining areas are comfortable with staff being friendly and efficient. The neighborhood looked gentrified with many other businesses in close proximity to explore. Street parking is usually available on the side streets if none is found in front of the restaurant.
