3.5 stars. Service excellent. Seeing the little server robot is a little odd though. I think this is associated with the Hollywood Natalie's that I used to live up for. This location doesn't have lines. This is a low key, mom &pop restaurant than the other Peruvian places in the area. We order the ceviche mixto and lomo saltado most times. It's all tasty and fairly priced.
First time eating Peruvian food and was quite satisfied with this experience. A-graded by the LA County Public of Health. Was a short walk from the hotel so we thought we'd give it a go. We ordered fried calamari to share as an appetizer with a bottle of white. Calamari was beautifully prepared and rivals most other places. It was crispy and golden, yet tender inside. For main, I ordered the Seco de Res. Classic Peruvian dish with cilantro-based sauce. The sauce was flavorful, the beef fork-tender. The onion garnish on the side added a fresh, element to cut the richness. The server who took our order had a pleasant demeanor about her. Once the dishes were ready, the robot server delivered them to our table. The robot too, was pleasant. It even sings Happy Birthday. My friend left her Tom Ford prescription sunglasses at the restaurant. We called the next day, and they kept it for her on hold--which was awesome!
The service was good, the space is small but the interior is cozy, and they've got a cute little robot helping out, but the food was just okay. I wouldn't order the ceviche because it really lacked flavor and spice (I had to ask for a lot of ahi on the side) and the fish is not sliced as thin as it should be to really soak up all the lime juice and ahi. The cut is super important because It also makes the texture of the fish chewier instead of buttery. The Jalea is large and shareable. It's a lot of fried calamari and a lot less fried fish and shrimp. The lomo saltado was the best dish I tired. They charge extra for huancaina sauce on the side and for a side of cancha which other Peruvian restaurants include. I would say "pass" unless you are near the mall area and really craving lomo saltado.
Came here just to see if it was any good and we were blown away, If you don't mind a small simple restaurant. The lomo saltado was delicious, camaron saltado, amazing. We also ordered salchipapa, papa la huancaina, platano maduro, 2 drinks, a box of alfajores, flan and salsa to go. $130.00. Everything was delicious, the only thing we did not like was the flan, it just wasn't what we are used to. The waitress was good and the food can out in a timely manner. Servings were a good size, we had leftovers to take home. We are definitely coming back.
The service is good here and immediately they bring out their sauce (some sort of jalapeño I'm guessing), A BREAD BASKET (delicious.) with individually packaged butter along with the waters/drinks. The food is amazing, I personally loved the shrimp in the lobster sauce (Camarones en salsa de langosta). It was delicious and paired with the rice, it was GENUIENLY perfection. The pasta was above standard, definitely a generous amount of seafood which is a plus. The fries here are surprisingly tasty. Their beef has a great taste especially in the seco de res. That entire plate is great for individual dining or group sharing. The pickled onions are delicious and refreshing rather than sour and pungent. The beans and the meat are nice and didn't really have that annoying feeling of it getting stuck in between your teeth. Also I came here during the World Cup so the TV inside was showing it so that added to the ambiance.
Cozy little spot with outstanding Peruvian cuisine. The variety and scope of the menu is outstanding with many options including ceviches, fried rice, shrimp, chicken, beef, etc. The flavor of the dishes is outstanding and the attention to detail is noticeable in the preparation. Service was friendly and fast. Brought back great memories of our time in Lima.
Came back today and it's remained very consistent! We tried the ceviche today and it was very fresh and delicious. Our server seemed to have been there for a bit as I've seen her before and she's always polite. I also like that this place is fairly easy to get in most times. There's plenty of parking in the back.
Try the Lomo Saltado! Will not disappoint. Never, ever had a bad experience here. Everything is so delicious, and staff is so friendly. Love the holiday decorations and the atmosphere. One of my favorite restaurants in Glendale.
The staff was friendly and attentive, both dishes were well done and delicious. The restaurant was also large perfect for small groups. Nice ambience I would recommend.
We tried this place in hopes of making it our go to Peruvian restaurant given that our usual is now way too far from us (sadly, we can only eat there if we are ever on that side of town) but this, missed the mark for us. We weren't disappointed with the whole experience but we also aren't raving to come back anytime soon. The lomo saltado looked juicy but nothing to write home about- the rice was half warm half cold? Idk how that happens- & the meat turned out tough and tasted gamey and metallic- you know that bloody taste? Husband DRENCHED it with the green sauce, which then made up for the taste. The chicharrón de pescado was very fishy- the breading was nothing special but the dipping sauce and onions it came with totally made up for it. Ohhh and this too was drenched in green sauce. Bistec a la chorillana looked juicy and tender but turned out to be just ok. This too was dressed with their green sauce. The green aji bottle came to our table full- by the time we finished our plates, we had emptied half of the bottle. We do like spice, but finishing half the bottle with our food was a bit much- however, necessary. Bread/butter with green aji was excellent. Green aji, bread & butter saved our meals. The waitress and the other lady, perhaps the owner, were both very nice. The inside/dining area was well kept. & the restroom was clean. Overall, pretty sure a great spot for some but missed the mark for us.
Haven't had Peruvian food in a long time but I was satisfied with my experience. Our least favorite dish was the 'chaufa con vegetales'. It was just alright. My dish 'Lomo Montado Especial' was enough for for the next day. Service was alright. Metered parking in front of the restaurant when I was here on a Tuesday evening. A bit annoying that the menus don't have any pricing and when I asked, they gave me a QR code with prices, but when I got my receipt, the prices did not match what was listed on the website. We didn't make a fuss, but maybe they can get their online menus updated if they read this. Overall, good food. That's it.
Such a gem of a find in Glendale. I love a good lomo saltado, having been to multiple other Peruvian restaurants in the area I keep finding myself back to Natalie's for the food. It's a small family owned restaurant, nothing fancy but the decor reminds me of South America. Service is fast and attentive. Lomo Saltado 10/5 - my absolute favorite Peruvian dish. I've tried this at so many Peruvian places in LA and I have to say Natalie's lomo saltado has my heart. There's good beef portion and the sauce is absolutely amazing. I can probably eat this every day. Calamari 5/5 - not only is the calamari so good, flavorful with good texture but that onion slaw is the perfect addition. It almost tastes like sauerkraut and it's the perfect match with the calamari. Combined with the sauce is it's the perfect bite and such a solid appetizer for any main dish. Cant wait to come back and try other menu items but definitely do not skip the restaurant when you're in Glendale.

I ordered my favorite Peruvian dish, Lomo Saltado, and my girlfriend had the Tallarín Saltado. Both dishes were absolutely delicious! I'm old school, so I called the restaurant directly to place my pickup order. The gentleman who answered the phone was very nice, friendly, and polite. It's hard to find good customer service these days, so that really stood out. I'm Peruvian American and pretty picky when it comes to eating out or ordering takeout, and I have to say this place is the real deal. The food was hot, fresh, flavorful, and authentic. The complimentary bread was delicious, and I especially enjoyed the Peruvian ají--it was nice and creamy, not watered down. The restaurant was very clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. I would definitely come back with my girlfriend for a sit-down dinner. If you're in the Glendale area and looking for authentic Peruvian food, I highly recommend Natalie's! Thank you for a great meal! read more

This place is small but quaint location. It is a casual restaurant with some great Peruvian food. We ordered the Papa A La Huancaina and Ceviche De Camarones as apps. Wow, what great flavor. We probably should have ordered one but we wanted to try both. We were not disappointed. I had the Lomo Saltado which was delicious. It had great flavor and lots of beef. My husband had the Chaufa de Camarones. It had lots of shrimp and it was seasoned well. My daughter had the Chaufa de Pollo which she loved. For dessert we had the Tropicalazo which were plantains with Peruvian ice cream. The flavor of the plantains were so good. The ice cream paired well with the plantains! We also ordered the Flan which was good but not as good as the Tropicalazo. The robot server was cute. It brought the food out to your table. We would definitely come back here again. The food didn't disappoint and was delicious. read more

Ordered the ceviche because I wanted something light and refreshing. This Ceviche Mixto had a mixture of calamari, shrimp, octopus, a big piece of potato, with thinly sliced onions. It was alright, the flavors just tasted like lime juice (not much depth in comparison to other ceviches that I've had elsewhere). Honestly probably wouldn't come back based on this dish but maybe I didn't order what they're known for. read more

So happy to have found Natalie Peruvian Seafood Restaurant! Hubby & I were around the Glendale Galleria/Americana area and when our dinner plans fell through we decided to try Natalie's and so glad we did! Small cozy family restaurant feel. We got a few things to share: They serve complimentary bread with butter + their house green sauce (aji verde), which was good! -Ceviche Mixto, loved how they sliced the octopus here. I'm usually not a fan of the huge legs, so was happy they were sliced thin. Flavor was good, medium has a bit of a kick. But all the seafood (fish, shrimp, calamari, and octopus) tasted fresh! -Chupe de Camarones, this is one of my favorite Peruvian dishes and Natalie's was so satisfying since I haven't had it in a while. Fresh shrimp with the creamy broth, yum! -Lomo Montado Especial, is just like a Lomo Saltado, but with two eggs over easy. Hubby loved adding the eggs as we haven't seen that before. Adds a dimension to the flavors of a normal lomo saltado with the runny yoke. One unisex bathroom in the back. I'm not so sure about the parking situation since we parked over at the Galleria and walked over (about 1 block up). Service was fair (they got busy during the dinner rush). Will be back again! =) read more

Came by and my wife and I both got the fish. I had it fried and she had it grilled. It came with an onion salad that was better than I thought it would be. Fish was good but nothing memorable. Our favorite thing was the Yucca Fries. They gave us a house made green sauce and that was amazing. We ended up ordering a second order of the fries they were so good. Restaurant is on a busy street with meter parking. Restaurant is small and cute inside. They have an electronic robot that brings you your food and it was a dumb gimmick and a waste of money. Doesn't fit with the theme of a Peruvian restaurant at all. Might come back to try something other than the fish. read more
Craving Peruvian and this place had high reviews. The place is a bit small and rundown. The girl servicing the whole restaurant was very very nice but the place needed one more waitress for support because the service was slow. The food was not as great as in the comments from others who visited. It was decent but I've had better unfortunately. read more
The food was absolutely amazing. Probably the best Peruvian food in LA. We got the Loco Saldo, ceviche pescado and the house special pescado con Marisco a la Natalie. The food came out really quickly, service was great. It was a really nice ambiance, family owned business. They also have the best horchata in SoCal, super rich and flavorful. read more

First time trying Peruvian cuisine and it is actually amazing. This place is a hidden gem in Glendale. I tried the tallarín verde con carne and it was fantastic. The calamari for appetizers was also delicious . Yansi, the waitress is a very sweet girl. The ambiance is so nice with all the pictures from Peru on the wall. Will definitely come back read more

We love trying our favorite Lomo Saltado Peruvian dish from different local Peruvian restaurants and this was our first time here. Parking was easy and free in their lot. Restaurant seating was spacious and accommodating with tv entertainment on the walls. We got take out and it was yummy. Our orders came exactly as requested. Portion size was generous and delicious. Service was friendly and quick and extra points for the surprise bread and extra green sauce too! We will be back. read more
I've been missing out. I've driven past this place and never tried until today. I got their lomo montado which was delicious and had two perfectly cooked soft runny eggs while my dear old dad took down a Siete Mares sopa that was delicious. Service was excellent and friendly, even gave my father a shell cracker for his crab legs in the soup. Everything here is fantastic! Im coming back to try their flan. read more

Parking in back which we appreciate. Long hallway with decor. They said they offer Ceviche de Camarones at different spicy levels. I asked for mild. It had kick still fyi. Wasn't that great. Plus it's Missing sweet potato. Yuka was decent. Sauce lacked flavor. Lomo was decent. Had jugó and flavor which sadly many lack so it's got that going for them. Chica was excellent. Was first time my friend was having Peruvian, was good, certainly better than other restaurants outside LA/orange county area. Presentation was nice. If shrimp was fresher and ceviche had sweet potatoes, it'd been great. Shrimp was tough and over cooked. We'd still come back and try the other stuff on the menu. There's a lot to choose from. read more

My family & I have been coming to Natalie's for a few years now, so often that even the amazing staff knows our order by memory. We come here to celebrate any and all occasions, birthdays, anniversary etc.. today is Valentine's Day and all I can say is WOW. We were seated as soon as we arrived, ordered immediately, got our food quickly, everything was perfect, not only that but LIVE MUSIC? amazing! Thank you Natalie's for making this day so special. 1000/10 per usual .. will always come back here it feels like home read more
If you want authentic Peruvian food...look no further! The food here is spectacular and as you are in Peru. My partner who is from Peru loved this place and reminded him of home. The chicha morada, a drink made with the purple corn is delicious and refreshing. Tastes exactly like the one I had in Lima. The maracuya (passion fruit)is delicious. We ordered the chicharrón de calamar which was an abundance and filling. I ordered the lomo saltado which is steak with fries, white rice, tomatoes and red onions. This was sooo good especially with the sauce that it is sautéed in. My partner ordered the chaufa (fried rice with seafood). The seafood was not stingy and the rice was full of flavor. The service was a bit slow, but attentive. Ample room to sit. read more
