I've been to Lucho's twice. The first time was a few years ago for a lunch with some family that were driving from Las Vegas back to LA. When we got there, the staff were making some kind of soup that wasn't on the menu, and they shared it with us. The second time I was just craving some Lomo Saltado and wandered in there the other day. . . . Lucho himself was sitting at a table and asked if I wanted him to cook for me. I said yes, and he made my Lomo Saltado and sat with me for a while while I ate. Delicious!!!!! He told me that for about a year now, the place is shared with a Colombian restaurant. . . but the Peruvian food is still there and still good! The vibe is casual, and friendly. Highly recommended!! read more

Amazing food and great experience overall. The flavors were really authentic and everything we tried was fresh and well prepared. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made it a great place to enjoy the meal. Definitely a spot I would come back to and recommend. read more

A simple, unpretentious spot that delivers an impressive burst of flavor. The setting is modest, but the food is where everything comes alive. It's straightforward, authentic Peruvian cooking done right...bold, vibrant, and clearly made with care. In an area where true Peruvian flavors can be hard to find, this place stands out for keeping it genuine and letting the cuisine speak for itself. read more

Lucho's Peruvian Restaurant - Peruvian Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Talk about hidden gems, this place is in a business center next to a bunch of commercial businesses and the only restaurant in sight. Thankfully we found them through yelp and reviews were spot on. I was a little worried at first since there really wasn't may customers during peak lunch and I saw the fries coming from the freezer and not house made, but the food and service was spectacular. We were greeted as soon as we walked in and the owner helped us through the menu. He recommended the lomo saltado and we were glad he did. Was the best dish for me. Had an Asian flair like teriyaki which made the difference. The fries were great too in this dish. Even the white rice was great. Perfect. We also ordered the shrimp fried rice which had large shrimp and was the second best dish followed closely by the chicken tallarín saltado and fried plantains. Don't forget the salsa. Nice heat and really added to all the dishes. A must try when in the area for sure. read more

I almost kept this to myself, but Lucho deserves to be reconciled . Listen to me closely, Rancho Cucamonga. We need to have a serious talk about the absolute wizardry happening right under your noses. ‍ I almost didn't write this review. I seriously debated gatekeeping this spot because I'm terrified that once you all find out about it, the line will be wrapped around the block and I'll never get a table again. But, my therapist tells me I need to be more "sharing," so here we are. This place is the definition of a Hidden Gem. And the man running the show? Lucho. We need to protect Lucho at all costs. Not only is he the owner, but he is also a culinary artist and arguably the one of the nicest human being in the Inland Empire. I have rolled in with a big party (don't ask, long day), and despite the space being on the smaller, cozy side, Lucho didn't blink. He helped us fit everything in like a game of Tetris. The place is spotless, by the way. You could eat off the floor, but please don't, because the plates are much better. A Warning/Disclaimer: If you are in a rush and need food in 3 minutes, go to a drive-thru. This is not fast food; this is fresh food. Everything is made to order. There are no sad heat lamps here keeping burgers warm since 10 AM. Relax, sit down, and wait. It is worth every single tick of the clock. Let's talk about the food (I'm getting emotional just typing this): The Lomo Saltado (The Star): I have eaten Lomo Saltado all over. But Lucho's? It's a flavorful experience. He cooks the steak to absolute perfection--tender, juicy, no chewing gum texture here. But the magic is in the seasoning and how it hits those fries and onions. It is worth every penny. I would pay double. Don't tell him that. Aeropuerto de Pollo (Chicken Fried Rice): I know, I know. You're thinking, "It's just chicken fried rice." WRONG. Stop it. It sounds crazy to rave about rice, but this dish is savory, smoky, and addictive. I planned to eat a few bites and take the rest home. I failed. I ate it all. The Chow Mein: Traditional? Yes. Boring? Absolutely not. There is a "minor twist" in the flavor profile that I can't quite put my finger on, but it makes the dish absolutely sing. It's out of this world. Mar y Tierra: If you can't decide between surf or turf, get this. It's the best of both worlds and plated beautifully. I love small businesses like this. You aren't just eating ingredients; you are literally tasting the love and hard work Lucho puts into the pan. It's rare, it's special, and it's delicious. Go visit Lucho. Tip him well. And tell him I said hi and to sing you a song. read more

Yes!!!! Today I was craving Peruvian food. I didn't want to drive 30+ minutes to Covina. I went on Yelp and found this place. I tried the Lomo Saltado and a noodle dish with shrimp. It was delicious! The place was packed and service was speedy. I've been living out here for 10+ years and have never seen/heard of this place. It's 5 minutes from me! The chef personally made my food and gave me some homemade flan to try. I can't wait to go back. Oh...excellent prices and great portions... I'll be back too soon...lol read more

This Peruvian jewel is located in a business park so follow your GPS. This family owned restaurant is small so please be patient. The dining room was full so the owner/chef asked we wouldn't mind sitting outside and we said no worries. He grabbed a folding table and two chairs and gave us a perfect set up outside. It was a gorgeous day so it was delightful. I ordered the Lomo Saltado and it was delicious! My husband had a dish which looked like fried rice and noodles with chicken - Aeropuerto de Pollo and it was a yummy combination of ingredients. However, the star of the show was the green chili sauce (which looked homemade). It was spicy, flavorful but not too hot. We got our own drinks which felt homey. If you live in Rancho Cucamonga, you need to visit this small business. They are so nice and you can tell they love sharing their food with people. read more

The employees seem mistreated by the owner I walked in to get a to go order and the man straight up called the lady an idiot and yelled at her for not putting my food in a container and was degrading her. I felt so bad she looked so fed up with him and I wanted to say something to him because the way he talks to these women there is not okay. He needs to check himself idk if their all family members or not but Don't ever talk to women in a abusive way. read more

Authentic Food, Limited Menu. Perfect for authentic Peruvian and Colombian Cuisine. A must stop!

The food amount, taste and well cooked meat at this place are the reason for the 5 stars! The meat was soft, and great quality! How do i know its good quality? Because it did not have chunky chewie pieces!! The seasoning was right on target! & The green sauce gets you with a small hint of spicyness that will either have you spiced out or have you putting more!! Mr. Lucho was awesome! Come try the Lomo Saltado! read more

Crazy gas by gas I mean great flavor and fulfilling . I ordered the Lomo Saltado, Yuca Frita, and an Inca Kola a great combination also recommended by Lucho who showed great hospitality . Great service. read more

Found it on Yelp , been open for 27 years, restaurant is in an industrial zone , place needs to be updated, deep clean , food 6 out of 10 it is a fast food kind of place not gourmet like Rocoto. More French fries than meat. read more

I ordered 2 lomo Salvador from here about $20 a plate, via phone. The company offered to put them together in one tray, which I agreed to. I did not specify for Togo or dine and wasn't asked on the phone. I get there and food is ready to take Togo. We decided we wanted to eat there and I asked if we would be able to eat there and was told "No, if you ordered Togo, you have to take the food to go",by the owner Lucho, which I felt was pretty rude. I was never specific that we wanted the food to go. I only asked so we can get some plates and forks to eat. I did not expect the place the re-plate the order. Additionally, there was no one there eating at all, it was not busy and there was plenty of tables for my family of 4. The food tasted good, but I felt the fact that as paying customers we weren't able to stay and eat at the restaurant was pretty rude to be told flat our "No". read more

Una empleada gorda no supo tratarnos correctamente. Pedimos comida que estaba en la carta y "no hay"...fuimos por comida colombiana, y esta empleada nos dijo, "entonces" coman comida peruana. Muy despectivo. read more

Went for the Peruvian but need to go back for the Colombian. Spent half my meal looking at everyone's dish and asking the waitress what it was called. Food and service were great. read more

The Lomo Saltado was delicious! Prepared with a fine beef fillet mignon and seasoned perfectly.

A must try restaurant for Peruvians like me and Peruvian cuisine foodies, also me! read more

Every single bite of all we got was nothing less than amazing, every plate was on point: savory/crispy calamari, lomo was excellent quality tender and juicy, shrimp tallarines were saucy and so tasty. Love the family style serving but can get individual servings as well. Reasonable prizes and worth every penny. Restaurant can use some upgrades but is clean and has good vibes. Service was good over all. read more

Food is good but expensive. I stopped in while on jury duty and it was almost $30 for the meal, no drink and tip. For that much money it should be a nicer experience and better exhaust because you come out smelling like you were deep in the kitchen. read more

Amazing food and service. The owners are so nice and treat you like family. The restaurant is super clean and the food was absolutely amazing. The lomo soltado is the best I've ever had. read more

Great Peruvian and Colombian food, great empanadas. Best home cooked style plates. Great and polite service. Always full of customers!

I really wanted this to be my new Peruvian spot. They show an "A" rating but I think they really need a good cleaning. The cashier area needs to be cleaned. (The entire restaurant really). The Lomo Saltado was way too salty. Had good flavor but left there with my lips tingling from the salt and feeling funny from all the salt. Their beverage station also needs to be cleaned up and the machine properly serviced. I will try them again sometime soon in hopes that they read this and make corrections. read more

A small restaurant in an office/industrial area. We came at night and the entire area was so dark, we were not sure it was the correct location. They only had an OPEN sign lights on. The restaurant was run by an older guy who took order, cooked and took the payment. He had an assistant. Both of them were very nice The restaurant was small but homey. It was clean. The food was amazing. We ordered the fried calamari, Lomo saltado, the mussels and also the seafood pasta. Everything was delicious! The winner for me was the calamari. The best I've ever had! Not sure what the sauce was but it was tasty and delicious. read more

The food was super salty and they use frozen french fries to fill up the plate and very little meat. Do not recommend this place.

Ordered for pickup. Honestly, the food was just okay. Nothing that we ordered was particularly tasty, but everything was edible. I will say, the service was excellent. Everyone was really nice and they even gave us free dessert. We had heard really good things about this place, but I feel as if it fell short. read more

I haven't ventured to much when it comes to Peruvian food. I am a fan of there ceviches though. I came across Luchos on accident. There was a lot of traffic on the road I was on so I turned on this side street, heading to a different Peruvian restaurant, but then my Yelp said this place was closer. It's in an area you wouldn't expect a restaurant to be in, maybe a small deli. It's not impressive when you walk in, and the menu is on the wall with hardly any description of what you are getting. So it's like a grab bag if you aren't familiar with the style of food. My dishes were so freaking good though! I ordered fried yuca, saltado con pollo, and the fried fish. They have one lady cooking and Don Lucho taking orders. The food was so full of flavor and fresh! The pollo dish had sautéed chicken with this gravy sauce and tomatoes with French fries mixed in. It sounds weird and first impression is WTH, but man that was a very tasty and savory dish. I'm glad I stumbled on this place. Also, Don Lucho has a son who is a Navy Officer, so please support Don Lucho. He is proud of his son! read more

Located in an Industrial area, hole in the wall. The menu is on the wall. You order, get your seat. Not a lot of seating but they have a table outside too. Loved the chalacas, huge plate with 10. The Lomo Saltado and Seafood Tallarin was good. Green sauce, super hot, maybe I'm a wimp! Lol! Friendly service! read more

Their food is very tasty and reasonable priced. We will definitely be back. It's a small place but the food is authentic.

We have been coming to one of Luis's restaurants for decades. He's a great chef and person. We always get a Calamari Frita appetizer because they are great here and one of the Saltado dishes (pollo or Lomo or both). Sometimes we will try other things but he makes these dishes better than any other Peruvian restaurant we have been to. The place is just a little hole in the wall but the food well makes up for it. It's like eating at home if I could cook Peruvian food (I was a chef but never mastered this food). read more

I I didn't find it good at all. There' were so many onions in my shrimp and veggies. Perhaps this the Peruvian way of preparing a dish. But for me it was a no. read more
