    Chaufa de Pollo
    Natalie V.

    Came here for the first time after driving by it forever and finally decided, "Okay, let's try something new!" And I'm SO glad we did! You can definitely tell it's family-owned the whole staff was incredibly sweet and welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh and made with love. We also ordered the plantains, but unfortunately they didn't survive long enough to make it into the picture They were THAT good! We ate them up and even ordered some to go. Such a cute little find. Great food, sweet people, and good vibes all around. We'll definitely be back!

    Pesto chicken so good

    Probably one of the best Peruvian places I've tried in southern California. This is a small family owned restaurant in the corner of a small plaza. When we arrived, we were greeted by our nice lady who started us off with waters. She may have been the owner. She was friendly and helped us with our orders as it was our first time at the restaurant. For a party of 4 we ordered: Ceviche Mixto - 10/10 best Peruvian ceviche I've had. And it was full of a variety of seafood - octopus, fish, shrimp, squid. The sauce was perfect. My only complaint is that I wish I had more. Lomo Saltado with noodles - 10/10 This wasn't my order but I wish it was. It was perfectly seasoned and the meat was tender and juicy Tallarin Verde Con Pollo - 9/10 only because the lomo saltado was so good and I wish that it was my order. The chicken was still good, although just a tad on the dry side. The noodles were very flavorful and very saucy as well saltado de mariscos 10/10 delicious. It was full of seafood and very well flavored. Highly recommend for seafood lovers Aguadito de pollo 10/10 Very heart soup. This could be its own meal if you aren't extremely hungry. The soup is savory and so good on a cold day. If you love hearty soups with lots of flavor, this is a go-to! All of the plates were large and very delicious. Next time I 'll be back to order a soup for myself! Highly recommend this location if you're ever in the mood for Peruvian food or want to try something new. You won't be disappointed!

    Sabor a Peru is always a great place to come and get your Peruvian food fix in the area. This place is so welcoming to the patrons. The entrees are always hot when they come out. Try the steak empanadas which are a nice appetizer. Made with nice chunks of steak and piping hot when it comes out. Don't forget the ají sauce. Great food and great service.

    lomo saltado

    4 stars is for the whole experience. I give 3 stars for the food, and 1 extra for the great service. The restaurant was very clean and has nice, vibrant framed art. Service was very friendly and quickly while the food was still served piping hot, for the most part. I ordered the lomo saltado, chaufa de pollo, and a beef empanada . The food smelled really good when it was handed over. The lomo saltado had a lot of visible pepper but it wasn't overwhelming. The other place I like to order the dish from has a bit more sauce, flavor, and tender meat. I didn't mind this restaurant's version overall and finished the leftovers. The aji verde has a good kick to it which helped elevate the dish, and is probably one of the things I liked most. Unfortunately I really didn't enjoy the chaufa de pollo. The first bite or two was okay but I realized it was overly salted. I had someone else try it and they agreed. I did not finish this one. The empanada was served cold but the flavor was good and the meat was tender. It has great reviews on here so maybe I'll give it another try.

    This place is a small restaurant located in the corner of a small plaza that has some simple decor and posters broadcasting their food. The interior is clean with several tables and a few Christmas decorations up. We ordered a tallarin Verde, bistec a la pobre with sunny side up egg, and chaufa al pollo. The chicken fried rice is delicious with plenty of meat and not overly oily if a bit salty. The green spaghetti was rich with cheese but could use more pesto or whatever green condiment they use. The beef on both beef dishes was tender, but lacked impact in terms of seasoning. The fries and plantains on the bistec was pretty good, but I didnt try the white rice or egg. All in all the food was very delicious, with the favorite being the chicken fried rice, but there is a discrepancy in price due to them using outdated menus at the time. Something worth checking out if you enjoy Peruvian food or are in the area for other matters.

    Had the best meal with my mom at this Peruvian spot and I already can't wait to go back. We ordered the ceviche, tallarín verde, and lomo saltado con chow mein, and everything tasted incredibly fresh (the staff even told us it's all made in-house, which you can absolutely tell). Every dish felt like it was made fresh! We finished with lucuma ice cream and homemade alfajores, which were the perfect ending. Such a warm, family-run restaurant serving truly authentic food. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to.

    Pollo a lo pobre
    Danielle G.

    The restaurant is tucked in the corner of a small strip mall with ample parking. We came during lunchtime on a weekday right when they opened so we were the first patrons there. Inside looks a little dated, but it was clean. We were greeted warmly by an employee who offered some good suggestions. We ended up trying 3 different chicken dishes. It took a little while to get our food but understandable as we saw that same employee over the stove, flames flying, cooking our food from scratch. I got the Pollo a lo Pobre and the chicken was moist and flavored nicely, I loved the addition of the egg to the rice and of course plantains to complete this very tasty dish. We all enjoyed our meals and devoured it quickly. It looks like we will be adding this to our lunch rotation!

    You can't see this business from the street. It's tucked in the corner. My Peruvian friend and I ordered the Lomo Saltado and a mixto Marisco platter with shrimp, octopus, etc. which had a few pieces of fried shrimp on top. The Mariscos came with lots of marinade called "Leche de Tigre." According to the owner, this marinade cures colds and flus. These dishes were so fresh and flavorful. Their seasonings were on point. We also ordered a sweet purple corn drink that's made from corn at 13,000 feet in the Andes. It's big enough inside to have a large group and catering is also available. The owner was very kind and we talked about the struggles of being a small business owner and how his business is word of mouth or Yelpers. We were the only ones in there for lunch on a Thursday. Please support this small business.

    Great little spot with delicious eats. I got the lomo saltado and tallarines Verde and they were both well made and filling. Their alfajores cookies are amazing! Definitely recommend trying them if you haven't. These peruvian cookies have a firm crust with caramel in the middle. Call ahead or go early because they tend to sell out of the cookies, but even then they have other great options to eat. The staff was so friendly and so attentive. It's always a treat to go back!

    Tallarin saltado con carne
    Juan P.

    First time at "Sabor a Peru", stopped in after the gym. Place was clean, people were super friendly. I ordered the chaufa de pollo and tallarin verde con carne. Both were delicious. They mentioned a lot of people come for the ceviche so will have to try that next time

    Saltado de pollo
    Victoria M.

    Mom and Pop place in Covina, my guy wanted to try. Nice young man waited on us, gave us a quick "my grandmother's recipes." A rundown. I ordered my favorite Peruvian dish Saltado de pollo, which was a huge portion and very tasty. My guy ordered the Tallarin de pollo which is with spaghetti noodles , delicious as well. Portion s are huge so shareable. The service was ok, the food delicious and the atmosphere was pleasant.

    My first time here at Sabor a Peru, let me tell you IT IS DELICIOUS!!!! The service is 10/10, and our waiter is the owner of the restaurant. Overall the ambiance is 10/10 as well!!! Would definitely recommend & will come back

    Pollo Saltado
    Estela V.

    I haven't been here in a long time and since I was craving Peruvian food, I wanted to see if the flavors are better than other known Peruvian restaurants in the area. The cashier taking orders was sweet and taking my order was quick. I waited about 10-15 minutes for my food and I could smell the amazing aromatics in the air. I ordered a Pollo Saltado and Lomo Saltado. I needed to find out which one I prefer and figured my son would choose the one he loved. The portion of the dish is plenty to share. The beef has great flavor but, I wish it was cooked medium. It was slightly tough but, overall a great dish. My preference was the chicken. The flavor profile is delicious and if you like garlic, you'll love the chicken! In my humble opinion, these flavors beat the other known Peruvian restaurants in the area. Please checkout this restaurant if you're in the mood for a comfort meal.

They give you a lot of different salsas to choose from, which is nice, but the flavor should already be in the food--not something you have to create yourself with salsa. The marlin tostada tasted more like tinga than marlin. The mixta was watery and didn't have any noticeable lime or freshness to it. Overall, the seafood just didn't have the flavor I was expecting. Service: Service was extremely slow. It took forever for someone to come over and take our food order, and then we waited even longer for the food to actually arrive. Ambience: The atmosphere also felt off. The music was mostly pop and rock, which didn't really match the banda/norteño atmosphere you'd expect from a place like this. When you walk in, it also feels like everyone turns around and stares at you, which made it a little uncomfortable. The biggest issue was that in the middle of our meal, we were asked to move tables because a larger family was coming in. That was really inappropriate. Once customers are seated and already eating, they shouldn't be inconvenienced to accommodate another party. Between the bland food, slow service, uncomfortable atmosphere, and being moved during our meal, the overall experience just wasn't good. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back based on this visit.

Cajun Grilled Shrimp (Taco) $4.25 Taco A La Carte I agree with others, as the food was a bit of a mixed bag. The Fish & Chips was a very popular dish where many tables had ordered at least one of them, but we found the batter to be a bit too thick and greasy. I tend to prefer my oily food not to be overly brown. However, the fish on the inside was perfect though, fresh and flaky! I loved the kaleslaw and might just order a side of that the next time I am here for to-go! The Branzino with Chili Sauce was not what I expected. I had expected spiciness, but it was a bit more on the sweet spicy side for me. There was either no A/C or it was not strong enough but they had a huge industrial fan on while we enjoyed our lunch. Service was very attentive and provided good customer service. The parking lot was a bit packed for a Friday afternoon, but we were both able to find parking near the restaurant. Overall, I would return but not when the 90+ degree weather since it could be really stuffy in there, and one does leave smelling like grease.
