    Lomo de Pollo
    Marii B.

    Hands down the best saltado de pollo I've ever had! The sauce is insanely flavorful, and the vegetables are cooked to absolute perfection. The red onions and tomatoes keep that ideal bite without getting soggy. Pairing the seasoned fries directly with the rice absorbs all that savory sauce so well. Easily a 5/5 meal. The service was very quick and I got my food within 15 minutes on a busy Sunday. In terms of ambience, there's an outdoor seating area but parking is a hassle so be prepared to leave your blinkers on and run out to grab your order. Overall, Mex Peru Gipsy completely knocked this out of the park, and I'll definitely be ordering this again!

    MexPeruGypsy is a hidden gem tucked away in the bustling Fashion District of DTLA. While the area can feel hectic, it is absolutely worth making the trek to experience this culinary staple. I decided to visit after seeing it ranked so highly on Yelp, and it lived up to every expectation. I ordered the Lomo Saltado ($22.99), which features tender filet mignon strips sautéed with french fries, red onions, cilantro, tomato, soy sauce, red vinegar, and Peruvian garlic rice. The quality of the meat is outstanding--it literally melts in your mouth like butter. While the dish is perfectly seasoned on its own, Chef Felipe's house-made sauces are a must-try. The green aji sauce is vibrant and fresh, while the chili oil provides a wonderful kick. I highly recommend sitting at the counter if you can. It's mesmerizing to watch Chef Felipe work his magic on the wok, sending flames high into the air as he cooks. The service is truly unparalleled. Juan, the owner, is the most welcoming and cordial host I have encountered in a long time. He treats every guest like a long-lost friend and speaks with such pride about the restaurant's 45-year legacy. It is clear that he deeply appreciates his team; he specifically asked me to recognize Chef Felipe for his consistency and hard work. Juan's hospitality even extended to gifting me a complimentary Chicha Morada--a refreshing, perfectly balanced Peruvian drink that was the ideal accompaniment to the meal. Don't sleep on MexPeruGypsy! This is a must-visit spot in Los Angeles, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Here is to another 45 years of success!

    Best Peruvian Food and dining experience I have had since Los Balcones Del Peru closed. The ceviche was amazing !!! The Lomo Saltado is prepared with filet mignon and was the best that I have had in years. Most places use flank steak or an inferior cut. Lomo Saltado deserves to be made with filet. I also had an al pastor street taco since they also offer mexican food. I had to take a carne asada burrito to go. I will be back.

    The sweetest staff and owner the food was AMAZING SO AMAZING. Small tables and bar inside would be so cute at night

    Aji de Gallina
    Chrissy L.

    The Aji de Gallina at Mex Peru Gipsy is a delicious Peruvian dish. The shredded chicken in the creamy pecan gravy is flavorful, especially paired with the boiled potatoes and steamed rice.

    Scam

    $2.83 for each egg is a scam. They never mentioned the eggs were an additional charge for the chilaquiles. I asked to speak to the manager and my server said he was busy on the phone, but later he was able to give me a 10% discount. The food was also mediocre too.

    Best lomo saltado I've ever had. Got served quick. Awesome seeing them cook the food right in front of you. Highly recommend.

    I am so disappointed in this dish I purchased. I really was looking forward to a you know a good amount of food for the Price. I bought two of these by the way this meal is $25.99 and it's barely like 16 cups of food, that's what it looks like. It could actually probably be 14 cups because it wasn't even filled to the top. It was very flat below the line from the rim and I'm just so disappointed like I took a bite of the chicken and one potato just to be fair with this review, but I am so disappointed the flavor is OK but for $25 I really would have wanted one of those standard you know the big containers for $25.

    Ceviche de Pescado
    Raymond G.

    I've had this restaurant circled for a while but never actually followed through until today--and wow, what a mistake to wait this long. Hands down, one of my favorite restaurant experiences to date. One of my hesitations was always parking in DTLA, but that ended up being a non-issue. When we arrived, the staff let us know we could park right out front or in the single parking lane along the side of the restaurant, which was a huge relief. We were greeted by Juan (not sure if he's the owner or manager), and from the moment we walked in, he made us feel like family. The hospitality alone was outstanding. We ordered a few dishes because I wanted to try their most popular plates. We started with the ceviche--completely different from any ceviche I've had before, yet it stood head-to-head with the best I've tried. Absolutely incredible. Next was the Lomo Saltado, which was my first time having it, and the flavors were unreal. You can truly taste the quality in every bite. I'll definitely be back as soon as possible to try more of their menu, and I'll be recommending Mex-Peru Gipsy to everyone who asks. A must-visit spot.

    Yes, it's really great and worth visiting. I had a fantastic lunch the other week - and thanks to Yelp's love, I found Mex Peru Gipsy because I wanted to know what was available in the are I happened to be. Lovely Saturday afternoon, and sitting outside was the perfect way to go. Inside is where you order, and where the kitchen is (plus beverages). It's a nice view of the pedestrians and the neighborhood businesses at work. Big menu, probably couldn't go wrong with anything, but I went with one of their most famous dishes: Original Lomo Saltado. Hope you're hungry! (Sautéed Filet Mignon strip, French fries, red onions, cilantro tomato, soy sauce, oyster sauce, red vinegar, Peruvian garlic rice. With chicken available) Say YES to the homemade sauces when they are offered. Yes, one is super hot, but you can handle it! Great way to explore the shops in the area and support local businesses. So glad I found my way here.

    Tacos Al pastor
    Brian D.

    I did say next time I was in LA that I would be back. Still great food. Some of my favorite tacos I've ever had. Ownership and workers are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet. They have a counter inside to eat at if you want, but I highly recommend sitting outside and taking in the sights and sounds of the fashion district while you enjoy your tacos or lomo!

    Fantastic experience! The lomo saltado was absolutely delicious, and the ceviche was fresh and amazing. The service was excellent too, super friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend!

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.

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.
