After walking around the Hollywood Farmers Market, I was craving Peruvian food since it's been a while. I was right near Los Balcones which used to be my favorite Peruvian spot in town, only to show up and find out they are permanently closed. I had to call an audible and ended up at Natalie's instead. What a pleasant surprise! It has such a cozy atmosphere, and the service was amazing (our server was incredibly pleasant). I ordered my go to Peruvian dish, the Lomo Saltado. That's one of those essential benchmark dishes if a place can't nail a good one, the rest of the menu is usually a pass, kind of like ordering chicken tikka masala at a new Indian restaurant to test the waters. And boy, their Lomo Saltado was amazing. The beef was so tender and flavorful, and the potatoes were perfectly crisp. I was incredibly impressed. This place is a fantastic hidden gem tucked away in the corner. Also we had the mixed ceviche which was so fresh with just the right tang. Do yourself a favor and check it out, you won't be disappointed. You're welcome. read more

Stumbled upon this place when I was in the area. Portions are big! The host was so nice and let us know that one of the dishes we ordered was a large portion. When she took our order the food didn't take too long and we were so hungry we ate through the food so fast. My boyfriend got the lomo saltado montado which had eggs on top. I got the green chicken and veggie soup and the normal lomo saltado. Honestly, I only go to one other place by where I live. But this place did not disappoint! The ambience was clean and friendly. read more

Our culture is filled with countless examples of pick-and-chose, this or that competitions: dog versus cat people, chocolate versus vanilla, Coke versus Pepsi, Apple IPhone versus Samsung Galaxy, DC versus Marvel and the list goes on and on and ON. Another famous battle is that of Peruvian food in Hollywood... Mario's versus Inti versus Natalie. Most Angelinos have their strong opinions on which is better (although there is room for everyone!); and I am half way through my own conclusion having tried Mario's and now having finally tried Natalie. Natalie's is a Peruvian staple in Hollywood holding real estate in a small strip plaza on Hollywood Blvd near the Bronson intersection. Careful, and don't blink or you will miss this establishment. Am I exaggerating? No. Natalie Peruvian is small... like mini pony small. So small that you better hope there is an empty table or you are out of luck and will have to wait to dine. However, don't let this deter you or you will lose the opportunity to enjoy some tasty Peruvian cuisine. The menu at Natalie includes traditional Peruvian comfort food with a focus on seafood ingredients featuring ceviches, soups, carne and chicken dishes, fried rice and of course fish galore. Plus, dessert for your sweet tooth like flan, Peruvian ice cream and cookies. My boyfriend and I arrived to a full restaurant on a Sunday (although that isn't difficult due to the small square footage); but were able to snag the last available table. There is something very home-y and welcoming at Natalie which extends to the staff whom are kind, friendly and make you feel like family. Natalie offers tableside bread and whipped butter plus the special spicy green sauce while browsing the menu to wet your appetite. To kick off our dinner, my boyfriend and I started with the Ceviche Mixto (fish, shrimp, octopus, squid in lemon juice and spices - $19.99) to share. I have been craving Lomo Saltado for MONTHS so I already knew it would be my choice (beef strips sautéed with onions, tomatoes and French fries served with rice - $19.99) while my boyfriend chose the Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos (seafood fried rice w/scrambled eggs and green onions - $20.99) for our entrees. Natalie doesn't skimp on portions nor forgets to highlight plate presentation as the plate are large and filled with bright colors and fresh ingredients. The Ceviche Mixto came complete with yucca, Peruvian corn, and large shrimps & seafood that is bright and refreshing; and although I would have liked slightly more acidity - this is some great ceviche! My Lomo Saltado was DIVINE! The beef was tender and perfectly seasoned but not overpowering the sauce, fries or veggies. This dish is a heavenly orchestra! My boyfriend has never tried Lomo Saltado (what?!?!?!) - and he was in love. My boyfriend's Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos was some damn good seafood fried rice! Light and plump rice with perfectly cooked seafood; this dish is a warming blanket of food. I would have preferred more seasoning but I am a lover of heavy seasoning and spice. Basically, Natalie Peruvian serves excellent food at a bang for for your buck. Natalie may be at competition with Mario's and Initi (try them all for yourself to decide); but they are certainly a brilliant choice for affordable and delicious Peruvian fare in a family atmosphere. Even if you have to wait for a table - Natalie worth it! read more

A Peruvian gem tucked away in a strip mall absolutely delivers. Perfectly seasoned lomo saltado with tender beef, fries soaking up that savory sauce, and fluffy rice on the side. Bright, fresh ají verde that actually has depth, not just heat and would be good on just about anything. Finished it off with plantains and a creamy Peruvian dessert that hit exactly right. Delicious food. Bold flavors. Attentive and friendly staff. This is the kind of place you remember and come back to. read more

No family trip to SoCal from San Francisco is complete without coming here. Our LA cousin had shown us around Hollywood and taken us here for dinner. Located in a small little plaza by a 7-11, you would have never known this was here. You'd have no idea the hidden gem hidden in the corner would have some of the best Peruvian food I've ever had. I haven't been here in 10 years, but I'm so glad we did! Food is still amazing. I never forgot about the green sauce. We ordered a variety of dishes that were all so delicious. read more

Natalie Peruvian Restaurant - LOMO SALTADO - Seafood Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Wednesday September 13.2923 Visited Natalie Peruvian as part of my walk as I hadn't been by for a couple months and do love the food here so. I elected to be Covid-safe and eat outside at one of three tables they maintain where I was served by Nancy, a beautiful waitress with a million dollar smile who made sure to remember me there while most patrons elected to dine inside. I swapped out my usual chicken for shrimp and have the Saltado de Camarones dinner and I have to say, the plate arrives and it is just a sight to behold: colorful and beautiful as it steams before me, this is a perfect saltado de camarones. The shrimp were gorgeous, lightly seasoned, cooked to perfection which, for me, means soft, moist, and chewy without becoming tough, dry, and over cooked. The french fried potatoes were delicious too as they soaked up the broth of tomatoes, shrimp extract, onions and such. The whole dish just becomes a generous feast as you mix together the shrimp with the white rice and tomatoes, hit it all with that spicy green ajo sauce, and fork just the bite you want to eat... 10/10. NATALIE Peruvian does not get mentioned enough for being the truly delicious little hidden away gem that it is. It should get much more attention than it does for the authentic Peruvian seafood and dishes as well as for the kind staff they employ. read more
