Lonzo's consistently delivers an exceptional dining experience. I had the Peruvian pesto fettuccine with filet mignon, and it was absolutely amazing. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the sauce itself was amazing as well. The steak was super tender and juicy alongside it. Lamb is also an option for that pasta, and I've had it before as well. It was just as amazing. Their lomo saltado is also amazing, and honestly their entire menu is full of great options. Everything I've tried here has been fantastic. They also serve bread with a verde sauce that was incredible on its own. Overall, the food here is consistently outstanding. Highly recommend. read more

Great little Peruvian restaurant. Very friendly wait staff- we weren't rushed to order. They now have beer and hope to have wine soon. Loved the ceviche (fisherman & mixtp. I can't do spice, but even the "spicey" one was okay for my mouth. Great lomo saltado- nice cut of beef and good sauce. Would def go again!!! read more

Lonzo's Restaurant - CHICKEN SALTADO - Bakeries Near Me - Culver City, California

Holy crap, I've been sleeping on this place. How have I not discovered this place sooner? My friend found them on DoorDash and we are so pleased with our meals. Firstly, we ordered delivery and the food actually stayed chill and kept well and we didn't get sick, lol. It's also priced the same on the app as in person. Lobster tacos were a hit, love that the shell has a good fry texture to it. I believe the ceviche we got was the Ceciche Mixto. Absolutely divine. So many different flavor profiles with the fish and the sauce. Highly recommend this spot. Dying to go back. read more

Service was fast and friendly. Food was exceptionally good. Beef heart was tender and tasty. My favorite dish. Octopus, tigers milk and the beef were all good. read more

We had an absolutely lovely dining experience here! The food was excellent across the board, and the seafood was truly outstanding. We had Jalea Mixta, Grilled Octopus, Grilled Squid and Crispy Salmon, they were all delicious! The service was wonderfully warm, kind, and attentive from start to finish--Elizabeth was an absolute gem! Lonzo's has officially become a neighborhood favorite, and we will definitely be back. read more

The food was great; the ambience, not so much. It wasn't bad; just not vibey or anything. I could have been sitting in a high school cafeteria. Kinda meh. Service was also okay; neither great nor terrible. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time. However, we appreciated how attractively everything was plated. The creativity of the ceviche mixto in a hollowed-out cantaloupe and the addition of flowers in particular did make all the plates look appetizing. You know the saying, we eat with our eyes first. We enjoyed the oysters, the ceviche mixto and the arroz con mariscos. We would probably return to sample some of the other dishes on their menu. But a bit of mood lighting or atmosphere would definitely enhance the experience. read more

Came here with a group of friends and overall had a good experience! We started with the Papa à la Huancaina, the potatoes were good, though the sauce was served cold. For my main, I got the Lomo Saltado with filet mignion and it was delicious, tender, flavorful, and definitely a highlight. My friends ordered the Huancaína Pasta with lamb and the Bistek a lo Pobre (filet mignion, fried, rice, salad, and a fried egg), and both really enjoyed their dishes. The space is clean and service is good, though it could've been more attentive, it wasn't very busy and had to wait a bit to ask for refills. There's 2-hour metered parking on Washington. Overall, a solid spot I'd come back to. read more

One word: AMAZING! Food: We ordered the Peruvian Pesto Lamb and Arroz con Mariscos. The pesto pasta was creamy, flavorful, and cooked just the way I like it, and the lamb was tender and well seasoned. The Arroz con Mariscos was simply divine! It was loaded with squid, clams, mussels, and shrimp, and packed with flavor without being overly fishy. This was definitely my favorite dish, and I highly recommend it! Service: Excellent! Ambiance: Casual, clean, with colorful Peruvian decor. read more

Best restaurants I've tried in 2026. Lonzo's is the explanation to why Peruvian food is so highly regarded in the world. Every dish is a blend of innovation and a welcoming, home-like familiarity. I get flavors from Chinese food, Spanish food and American food, each unique and distinguishable. But they come together so organically that my only thought was oh this is what Peruvian food is about. Packed with the sizzling heat and punchy spiciness, this is uniquely, unmistakably Peruvian. Pesto quinoa salmon is 10/10. The quinoa soaks up pesto's creaminess so by the time all the protein is gone, it has become almost a desert, flavorful to the last grain. The veggies on the side is miraculously even more amazing than the salmon. The cucumbers are juicy and savory, offering freshness retreat from Salmon and pesto's rich flavor. Oysters are a solid 10/10--the purest expression of ceviche. Lonzo's version bridges ocean and land effortlessly, never compromising either. The acidity tempers the briny intensity while preserving the oyster's pristine freshness. A touch of salsa adds depth and intrigue, layering complexity without overwhelming the core. Everything comes together in perfect harmony, all cradled within that gleaming, natural shell. Lucuma ice cream with crepe is a wonderful way to finish the dinner. It's simple but thoughtful. In a different restaurant, this would have been a vanilla ice cream with Nutella on top, but not at Lonzo's. The ice cream is Peru's national fruit, mangoy flavor but surely not a regular mango ice cream. And drizzled on top is the caramel. There's still lot more on the menu to explore at Lonzo's. I already can't wait to revisit and be amazed again. read more

We were seated promptly outside and they were able to move us into a table about 30 minutes layer. We got the two person bbq deal and the value was good. It came with 4 types of means - chicken, pork belly, beef, and sausage. It was flavorful and came with 2 dipping sauces that paired well with it. The highlight for me was the lomo saltado - the meat was perfectly cooked and well seasoned. The interior had lots of seating and the waiters are very nice and helpful. It did take a little while to get our food but overall it was worth the wait! read more

We came here for dinner because my friend loves the ceviche here and I'm glad to say that the ceviche was so good. Super fresh and flavorful. I also loved that the tigers milk came topped with calamari. For my main, I got the arroz con mariscos which was similar to seafood paella but had a more cheesy flavor. It was so good. Super flavorful and they didn't skimp on the seafood portion. My friend got the salmon pesto quinoa which she really enjoyed too. I'll definitely be back for more ceviche and other entrees in the future. read more

Solid value for your money. As referenced in the picture attached, there are five sizeable chunks of filet mignon meat which is more tender and less fat than other cuts of meat. The pasta itself is a thinner one, cooked well, and seasoned well. The dish was served at an appropriate temperature straight off the grill. Appetizing. I read a previous review which said something along the lines of how the ambiance of the restaurant felt like a school cafeteria and that it could use some work, which made me chuckle. I would much prefer a humble seating area and solid food, as opposed to the inverse, in my personal opinion. Would come again. Gracias! read more

As an alumni of CCHS, it's rare I miss any good food spots in Culver. This place was exactly what I was lookin for on a sunny Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. It's slightly bigger than a whole in the wall, quiet, nice ambiance. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. I usually get an Aronld Palmer everywhere I eat lunch or dinner. They didn't serve lemonade so the waitress had made a passion fruit juice blended with unsweetened ice tea, delicious. When seated they bring you small sourdough rounds with a green cilantro sauce. The scallops on a skillet appetizer was an excellent mix of flavor between the baby asparagus, mushrooms and red peppers, the aroma alone was enticing. Then the main corse was Lamb with Pesto pasta. It was fire, right size portions, that lamb was juicy n the plate was the right temperature throughout. The whole meal was perfect. Treat yourself or take a date. Highly recommended. read more

Got takeout from this place and the presentation was 10/10 and the food was a 12/10. I'm still in shock at how good everything was. Personal faves were probably the fish ceviche and the beef anticuchos (grilled hearts), but the shrimp causa we got was also incredibly yummy. The portion for the Aguadito soup was especially ENORMOUS, easily double what I expected to receive. Everything was also packaged with care for the different types and temperatures of food - really excellent service there too! read more

The food is pretty good, but the lamb was a little over cooked and dry. But my girlfriend got me take out of the Peruvian Pesto Lamb. I was so excited to see the reviews online about this dish. I open it at home and got a rack of 3 lamb pieces instead of the 5 pieces pictured on Yelp from a review. I feel cheated with this much pasta and a measly 3 pieces of lamb for over $30. read more

This was one of the best Yelp finds I've been to in a while. It's a hot Monday, July 27th. I'd just dropped off a portable air conditioner for my son's apartment. Asked him if he wanted to go get a bite. I told him let's find somewhere that has Salmon. Since it was late afternoon, I didn't think there would be any chance to find something good. I yelped Seafood Near Me and Lonzo's Peruvian Restaurant popped up. We looked at the pictures and the food looked good. I was eyeing that Crispy Salmon. We drove three miles and got there around three pm. When we arrived there was plenty of parking on the street. As we walked up to the door, it didn't look like they were open. My son tugged at the door and it was locked. Just as we were walking away a young woman came to open the door. She said they were having a meeting, but they were open for service. We were seated in the front of the restaurant. They also had a huge dining room on the side. The young lady served us some fresh bread with this delicious green sauce. She took our drink order. I had a plain ice tea and my son had a Peruvian soda called "Inka Kola" My son kept raving about the bread and green sauce. It was good. We decided to try the Grilled Spanish Octopus as an appetizer, my son ordered the Arroz Chaufa/Fillet Mignon, and I got the Crispy Salmon. Before I go any further I just want to say that each dish's presentation was TOP NOTCH. (See Attached Photos) When I first saw the Grilled Octopus, I thought damn this looks so good I don't want to cut it. I told my son to take the first bite. The look on his face was priceless. He said, "Mom this SLAPS!" I cut off a piece and it was so tender, it melted in my mouth. We got our entrees and I must say again my plate was BEAUTIFUL! When they say CRISPY SALMON they meant it. Both the skin and the meat had a crispy texture. The Quinoa was very good. The side salad had little vegetables that were cut star shaped. The salad's ingredients (apples, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados) were so good I barely used the dressing. I just ate it. I must admit I was hungry, I cleaned my plate. I haven't eaten like this in a while. The portion sizes were just right. My son loved his fried rice, although he said it was a bit salty. He had a second, Inka Soda. He told me , "Mom, we found a new place near my house. I will definitely be coming back here!" Y'all don't sleep on Lonzo's Peruvian Restaurant. It was worth every penny! We will be back! read more

One of new favorite neighborhood restaurants! Lonzo's has been on my bucket list and I was absolutely thrilled I had the opportunity to finally try it. I came here with a friend for dinner time. When we arrived, I was nervous we wouldn't be able to get a table since the restaurant was busy and buzzing with some much energy! You can tell it's a neighborhood favorite. We waited about 10 minutes and were promptly sat by the amazing staff. The restaurant has a family feel to it. While we were there, live music was playing which added to the cozy family feeling. For food, we ordered the Lobster guacamole and chips and the pesto pasta with steak. Everything was absolutely delicious and the flavors were so harmonious. Additionally, quite a few people celebrated their birthdays that day which added to the excitement and happiness feeling of the restaurant. I highly recommend and will come back! read more

Got the lamb pesto and would definitely recommend ordering Medium. The flavor and texture were great on the lamb. The oysters came to the table garnished and were small but mighty bites.

We loooooooooove Lonzo's! The only place we can go after going to Peru on our Honeymoon, it's the most authentic and delicious. Every item never misses. Our fav are the anticuchos (beef hearts) they taste exactly like the ones on the streets of Lima. Sooooo yummy. We always get the fishermen ceviche, the lamb chops are to diiiieee for and do NOT go without getting the arroz con mariscos. We love the service there, the team knows us now and they always take care of us. We started going before I was pregnant, went while I was pregnant, and now we go with our brand new baby boy! The team has seen us grow as a family and we love being a part of the Lonzo's family too! We come here like, once a month at least and it never fails. We love that they expanded and added more seating and tables. Today we went and also watched a World Cup game, it was a fun environment and we always end up talking with other tables and enjoying Lonzo's together. Great vibes, the best Peruvian food in LA. PERIODDDD. read more

I used to live walking distance away, but didn't try Lonzo's until I moved driving distance away. It's worth the drive if you order a few of their dishes. I sent with several friends so we got a good variety of different menu items. The scallops were done perfectly, served sizzling with vegetables, they were a hit with the scallop lovers. The salmon was also very tasty, not overcooked or under seasoned, served with a fresh salad. They are one of the few places in town who serve octopus and they do a good job, it was tender and well seasoned but expensive for the serving. A few dishes missed: the chicken fried rice had dry chicken but great fried rice. The beef tongue was sliced too thin and had no seasoning. My friends loved the caramel flan. read more

Good Peruvian food. Highly recommend their ceviche. Friendly service. Will definitely be back.

This is a small, friendly Peruvian spot in Culver City with great food. We tried the ceviche mixto, the octopus causa, and the parihuela. The ceviche was huge, overflowing with fish, calamari, and shrimp, and very tasty. The causa, which was nicely plated, was also well worth it. The parihuela is a delicious seafood soup that comes in a tomato-based broth. Perfect on its own, but also a great use for any bread that you might still have by that point in the meal (they are a bakery too!). It's on busy Washington Ave., but there's street parking available in the blocks behind the store. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Tried this for the first time and I wish I started coming earlier! This place is such a hidden gem, you would never guess this place serves such high quality flavorful dishes. We came on a Saturday evening and the place was decently filled, we didn't need to wait at all though. We got the Huancaina pasta, tiger's milk, and a seafood rice dish that I forgot the name of. Each dish hit the spot. The seafood was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were all SO GOOD. Honestly, I cannot rave about this place enough. Prices are a bit high, but the quality and expertise are well worth it. Parking is fairly easy, either in front or the surrounding streets. Service is also good, didn't have to take too long to flag someone down. Definitely a place worth trying! read more

Delicious food! They have lots of indoor seating. One outdoor table if you have a dog or just want to sit outside! We got the filet mignon Lomo saltado and the pesto pasta with lamb chops. The meat was really good quality and cooked to perfection. Dishes are pretty filling as well. They also give you bread while you wait for your food. The bread is light and airy. Perfect so you won't overstuff yourself before your food comes out since it's not as dough-y. Dip it in their aji sauce. Don't be shy to ask for more! So yummy to eat with the meats. read more

Best Leche de Tigre ceviche flavors in town! After another local ceviche place closed, I have been craving proper Peruvian ceviche and we've been coming to Lonzo almost every week since. My favorite dishes are the Ceviche Mixto, Seafood Rice (type of paella) and the Ossobuco. They are also a bakery and we always come home with a sourdough baguette. As of late, Pati has recognized us by our order, but the staff has been friendly and accommodating. The decor has changed over the months and there is a mural currently being worked on in the main dining room. They do get busy in the weekends so there can be a but of a wait for larger parties... read more

This place is easily the best Peruvian food I've had in my life so far. The place is small, but we came late for lunch on a weekday so luckily there weren't a lot of people. The server was quick to take our order and get our waters, and the food came out pretty quickly too. I had the Peruvian Pesto Pasta, and it was amazing. Filet is cooked perfectly, sot and juicy and tender and seasoned well and tasted great when combined with the pesto. There was also a lot of garlic in the sauce which you can never go wrong with. The arroz con mariscos was also amazing; it came with lots of seafood including shrimp, scallops, squid, and clams. Rice was mildly smoky, and cooked with a great wine sauce. I would definitely want to come again to try the rest of the dishes on their menu. read more

Came here on a rainy Tuesday around 3 PM and was seated immediately. We were served complimentary bread with a delicious cilantro sauce, and we ended up ordering the Peruvian Pesto Pasta with Filet Mignon and Arroz Con Mariscos as our entrées. The Peruvian Pesto Pasta with Filet Mignon was delicious. The pasta was al dente, the amount of pesto flavor was moderate, and the sauce was super creamy. Though it was good, it became a bit overwhelming and heavy after a while, especially with the additional cheese. The filet mignon, on the other hand, was absolutely amazing. It was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was so tender, juicy, and flavorful. I would say the filet stood out way more than the noodles. The Arroz Con Mariscos was also good. It was a bit on the salty side, but I really loved the generous amount of seafood they provided. The jumbo shrimp in the middle was a nice touch, but it was slightly overcooked, along with the rice. Other than that, the flavors were all there. Overall, I thought both dishes were full of flavor, each offering a unique and distinct Peruvian taste. There is street parking, which can be easy or difficult depending on the day and time. The interior was a bit small, with fewer than 10 tables. The staff was attentive, but service could be hit or miss. I didn't like that they were mopping the floor right next to our table when there were plenty of other empty tables around us. I also didn't understand why they chose to do this task when we arrived, especially since the restaurant was empty before we arrived and after we finished. read more
