    We happened upon this delicious restaurant by chance! Saw it as we drive by and decided to come check it out for dinner on a Sunday night. Max was our server and he took great care of us from beginning to end. We ordered the ceviche mixto to start. It was so tasty with all that fresh seafood in a light tangy sauce. We ordered fried tortillas to accompanied it. For the mains, we ordered the lomo saltado and the steamed black cod dish. This was one of the best lomo saltados that I've had. It had the charred smokiness reminiscent of the Chinese "wok hei" taste. The beef cubes were tender. The potato fries were perfect because they still had a bit of hardness and not all mush by the end of the meal. The portion was generous and easily can be split and shared with 2-3 people. The Chifa black cod dish was a smaller portion. The cod was buttery soft and had a very delicate flavor. We really like this dish too! We were treated to a complimentary sample of their sushi as well. So nice of them! It was a delicious smoky aburi salmon nigiri. That smoky taste was still in my mouth an hour after we left the restaurant! We will definitely be back when we're in the area again and will be telling all our friends about it. This restaurant has been opened only one year and I hope it will get more traction.

    Delicious food and wonderful service! Will definitely be back. I want to try more sushi, which was fantastic

    The drinks are a must, especially their pisco sour. We tried the mixto grill plate that included scallops, shrimps, and octopus! The shrimps were so good, they had a charbroiled flavor. It was a nice sampler to try everything, however, the octopus was a bit chewy. We also had a ceviche dish with scallop and fish. The scallops were sweet and delicious, I would order a scallop only ceviche if they served it. The server was very informative introducing the dishes, thought process, and specials menu. As the restaurant got more busy, expected on Friday night, then there were less check ins with our server. I would definitely return to try their hot plates and stir fry dishes.

    My girlfriend wanted to try this new place instead of Omakase and I'm SO GLAD WE DID! Parking is pretty easy around the restaurant so no worries there. Once you enter, you feel like you've taken the magic school bus straight to the markets of Peru. You become instantly transported to flavor town instead of Huntington Beach. I love the decor and the layout of the place. Water tastes very clean and filtered. Not tap. Food: - POTATO CHIPS! They gave these out for free with a little chili dipping sauce, and these were absolutely addicting. I could eat a whole bowl of these. 10/10 - Mix of the Sea - Sizzling Platter - honestly everything was pretty good except for the octopus/Pulpo. Good thing we didn't order the full octopus appetizer because I would've been sad. The flavors were good though. Shrimp was delicious. I could have done all shrimp. Scallop had an amazing butter on there. Squid was tender. However, Octopus was a little tough and rubbery. Not as tender as I hoped. 7/10 - Playa Mixto - Mixed ceviche - This was the same case here I loved the scallops. Fish was tender. Octopus was not as tender as I had hoped. 8/10 Drinks were very delicious as well! We had the Tamarind and the Pisco Sour. 10/10 Service was a little bit slower as it was super busy. I think they could have added one more server. However all of the staff was very nice and friendly. They seemed like they were in the weeds since there were a lot of big parties. I've definitely been there before. We didn't get to try any of the dinner portion menu since we were kind of full but the Lomo Saltado looked bomb. Definitely would come again!

    Came here for a date night and experienced good food and cocktails. I ordered a couple of specials. Standout was the marinated beef hearts. It was so tender and a bit smoky, almost like yakitori. Another special was the quinoa risotto tenderloin. The tomato jus was chefs kiss! Seco Norteno - a bit heavy on the starch with the beans and yuca. After a few bites it tasted all of beans. =/

    TNT sushi
    Sarah N.

    This was easily the best meal we've had in years. I genuinely can't believe it took us two years to finally try this place. We had the pleasure of trying the TNT sushi, a mixed seafood ceviche, a steak entrée with rice and plantains, and a couple of drinks. Everything was incredible, but the TNT sushi especially stood out. It was beautiful, and the char added so much depth and flavor to every bite. The ceviche had a mix of the different seafood they offer, and the fresh, bright lime flavor was perfect. The steak entrée was just as memorable--the sauce was bold, rich, and packed with flavor, and everything on the plate worked so well together. I had the house margarita, which was subtly sweet with a surprisingly complex flavor and easily one of the better margaritas I've had. The service made the experience even better. We sat at the bar and felt genuinely welcomed from the moment we arrived. The service was personal and attentive, and they took the time to understand our questions and walk us through the menu rather than making us feel rushed. Between the incredible Peruvian-Japanese flavors, the quality of the food, and the impeccable service, this was one of those meals you keep talking about afterward. We will absolutely be back.

    Saw this place on Yelp and was interest on the unique take of this restaurant. This Peruvian restaurant has some Asian fusion in their dishes. The service was excellent and I really enjoyed the complimentary cilantro soup and home-made potato chips. Scallop she'll (4/5); This was grilled with cheese and butter inside. The cheese was a bit strong, but it was unique thing to try. Limo Sataldo (4/5); The meat was a bit rubbery, but the flavor was on point. Chaufa Marino (4/5): This fried rice has scallop, octopus, and jumbo shrimp. The flavor was good, but could be stronger Grilled octopus (5/5); This was by far my favorite fish. It was super tender and juicy. I really liked how the chimichuri enhanced the flavor.

    LOMO SALTADO

    Great interior and welcoming atmosphere. The service was top notch. The server was very welcoming. The food tasted great. Portion size was surprisingly small considering the price tag.

    HAZELNUT SHOYU &  PARMESAN SCALLOP
    Kanani J.

    I was looking for a different kind of cuisine, something we haven't tried before... so of course I looked to yelp for a recommendation! So glad we decided on Rocoto, had a beautiful dinner with my sister and mom. We decided to sit at the bar- what a delightful and insightful man the bartender was. We tried the ceviche , octopus and a couple other items. Everything was flavorful and quite unique. The wine was also delicious. We can't wait to return. We stayed with the fresh items on the menu, so when we return I am definitely going to try the lomo soltada. All the employees are sweet and friendly, give this place a try.

    My wife and I were pretty blown away by this place. We used to eat here when it was Boston Market so we were amazed by the transformation. Beautiful interior with very comfortable seating. Outstanding welcoming service from the moment we walked in the door until we left. While perusing the menu we were brought fresh made potato chips served with a spicy dip. Very unexpected unique complimentary starter! We started with Peruvian scallops that were grilled in the shell. Two Parmesan Reggiano and two brown butter hazelnut. These scallops are really tiny for the price but with huge flavor. Both flavors were fantastic and I would order again. I love Peruvian Cebiche so I got the playa mixto which was fish, shrimp, octopus, scallops, corn nuts, onions, and sweet potato served in a spicy tigre leche marinade. Seriously the best cebiche I have ever tasted. The seafood was as fresh as it gets and the liquid was spicy and sour. I'm salivating right now thinking about it. My wife went with the classic Lomo Saltado which had fresh cut French fries in it. Very tender meat and a delicious entree. She really enjoyed it. They've added a nice selection of non seafood items since they first opened. For cocktails I had a Pisco Sour and my wife had a plum based drink. Both unique and refreshing. For dessert we had the made to order picarones which are donuts made out of sweet potato. Was covered in a fig and sugar cane sauce. Heavenly way to end the meal! I absolutely loved this restaurant and cannot wait to return!

    Ootoro tuna uni- not good at all
    Christine C.

    I was really excited to try this place based on the reviews, but unfortunately it was a huge disappointment. The oysters were honestly disgusting. They tasted off enough that I had to spit mine out. To the restaurant's credit, they removed them from our bill without any issues, which I appreciated. The hamachi tostada with uni was probably the best thing we ordered, and the sushi sampler was also pretty good. Everything else fell flat. I didn't enjoy the ootoro with uni or the spicy tuna shoyu. The sesame black cod was completely overpowered by sauce, and the short rib was a major letdown. It took so long to come out that we almost canceled it, and when it finally arrived, the meat itself was tender, but the flavor was terrible. It just wasn't good. The pomegranate martini was also disappointing, and overall I didn't think the cocktail menu was very good. The only bright spot was our server, who was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. The service here was actually great they were so friendly. Too bad the food didn't match the service. For the price, I expected so much more. Aside from two dishes, almost everything we ordered missed the mark. I left feeling disappointed and honestly regretted spending the money. Unfortunately, I wouldn't dine here again.

    Chippies and ahi sauce!

    I've been dining at El Rocoto in Cerritos since college, and recently found out about their more seafood-focused sister restaurant, Rocoto Pesca Bar! There was ample parking in front and such beautiful decor once we were inside the restaurant. We were seated immediately because there was little to no wait on a weekend day evening. There's a lot of crossover between the menu at Rocoto Pesca Bar and at El Rocoto, but a clear distinction is the complimentary appetizer your server greets you with. You get the same aji verde and rocoto sauces seen at the Cerritos location, but instead of fresh bread, you get fresh potato chips for dipping. They were perfectly salted and so warm, which made them that much more addicting. It took everything in me not to ask for another order because they were THAT good. My friend was carb loading for an upcoming half marathon, so we ordered Grilled Octopus, Fettuccine Huancaina, Arroz Marisco, Hamachi Tostada, and Picarones. All the savory dishes were incredible, but I don't think I would order the Picarones again. Just because it didn't work out for me, doesn't mean it can't work out for you, so you should still try it and decide for yourself! My only regret in dining here was not having more stomach space to try the rest of their seafood menu. Guess we have no choice but to run it back the next time we're in HB!

    This place is my favorite restaurant ever. We had the same server both times and he is so knowledgeable and a joy to talk with! His name is Max. The food is perfect. I would eat here every day if I could and my goal is to try everything on the menu. I've never seen something come out of the kitchen that didn't look absolutely delicious and made with care and passion. It's always cool inside and the tables are spaced well. Even when the restaurant is full, it doesn't feel too crowded.

Not to be a hater. It's just nothing special. The service: the service was a bit of a mix, a girl came up to us. She was kind and the moment that she was at our table. It was nice, the part where it got difficult for me was, Juan it's a bit disorganized, most sushi spots are gonna have maybe a QR code that'll just go to their webpage and you can order from there or they will have one paper that has everything on it so that it makes everything easier for the customer. This place had three pages, with only writing on the front and it was extremely confusing plus if you finished and wanted to order again, but the other one hasn't come out then you have to wait for that one to come out. What really bothered me was we didn't necessarily order a lot but it was still taking 1520 minutes for one order of sushi to come out and we had no heads up on what was going on and it was taking a while for someone to even come and tell us what was going on. There wasn't very many people there when we first got there and yet it was still taking a long time for us to get our food. The food: the sushi was OK, I have to be very fair because I've been to plenty of sushi spots. I've been to some that are good and some that are bad and so unfortunately, yes, you can tell the difference. I'm not saying this place is bad, I'm saying it's OK. What really got me was more the service and the wait time and unfortunately, the sushi. I really hope this place stepped it up because I can see the potential and I know a lot of people will just go to any all.
