    Pollo brasa is very authentic, cooked in wood fire has the true smoke Peruvian flavor that it's known for. Salad, fries and green sauce were also very good and authentic. Price is a bit high but worth it for our family since this is the closest and only location to offer this authentic food in all of SoCal. $36.99 for whole chicken with two large sides. We stopped for lunch on a busy Sunday afternoon and the servers were very professional fast and courteous. Will be back! I'm from northern VA best spot for Peruvian chicken and this was def close enough.

    This hole in the wall or call hidden gem whatever you want to call it I definitely recommend it. This place is small but that's the beauty of it. Carlos and his wife have held his business for over 20 years!!! The service is always on point. The food is great. It's very delicious and always comes to perfection. This place is legit. I notice every time I go I hear all the Peruvians lovely people eating and enjoying themselves. What a beautiful rich culture. Don't let the outside industrial area fool you. Inside it's clean and very homie. They take care and card. No washroom inside location. You would have to grab a key and go outside. Just heads up.

    I really enjoyed this place! We got in around 11:30am and were the first customer. It seemed like a burger place from the looks of it - and we're okay with that. I ordered the shrimp fried rice and my wife got the steak saltado. BOTH WERE AMAZING!! The shrimp fried rice had a kick to it, but the curry was so flavorful, its a definite must try! The saltado SAUCE was amazing, ask for extra rice when you go in, trust me it'll be worth it. I only had 1 little complaint, we never had our waters refilled or the waitress never came by with napkinds. I literally drank all my water and ate the ice too - i kinda looked around, but I think she was busy in the back as well... Its not a big deal, but its the little things in customer service that go a long way!! Anyhow, i will be back and i really enjoyed the food! Thank you for having us!!

    I've passed by this place a couple of times and made it a point to come here since my co-worker and I love peruvian food (and it's so hard to find now a days! RIP La Pollada). We had: Pollo a la brasa (rotisserie chicken) Chicken was scrumptious, well marinated and juicy. The green sauce is delicious but a tad more on the creamy side (but I like creamy aji, so no complaints here). They give you a whole bottle so you can aji it up to your heart's content. It comes with a nice salad that has a light vinaigrette and rice. The rice was a tad hard on our visit, but nothing a little aji couldn't fix. Lomo Saltado It's been a while since I've had lomo saltado and this did not disappoint. Steak was plentiful and juicy. The sauce was well balanced with flavors of soy sauce, onion and spices. The rice was also a tad hard, but the sauce on the lomo, and the aji did help that. Bonus: They have maracuja AND Inka Cola. I opted for maracuja and it was delightful. If you're in OC and you're looking for a solid Peruvian joint - do come to Senor Pollo!

    I can't wait to come back to Senor Pollo and try every dish in the menu!!! I love Peruvian food, but I didn't know where to go, so my Peruvian friend brought be to her favorite spot and I loved it! I had their signature chicken dish. Wow! The seasoning is so tasty! The chicken so juicy and flavorful all the way down to the bone! I can eat fries all day and the serving was so generous! I also tried my friends Seafood dish. The flavor was delicious and the seafood so fresh! Indoor dining is not yet available but there is plenty of shaded outdoor dining space. One last thing, don't forget to order Inka Cola, it tastes like Bubble gum but it works and it goes well with the meal! Trust me! Try it!

    Trying this place for the first time. The place is small but its pretty packed for a sunday afternoon so thats always a good sign. The chicken is really tasty and not dry at all. I will come back for the chicken. We also got the tallarin saltado which is very bland unfortinately. The bathroom is all the way at the back of the building and its not well kept at all. No toilet seat covers, no paper towels and the toilet paper is just sitting on the broken toilet paper holder. Cant find any recent online menu so took one for y'all

I really recommend the pear salad because the arugula, burrata, the dressing with the Korean pear is so refreshing. One downside is that they're a bit too pricey now so I don't go as much as I did before.

There's an outdoor seating area and a good size restaurant inside. We were greeted as we walked in. Btw, the HUGE glass door entrance, I love. There Were a few open tables and we were welcome to sit where we wanted to. Two classes of water were brought to the table and a waiter came with the menu. My mom is vegetarian and I am not. I asked the waiter for his vegetarian dishes and he provided me a pasta dish. That was exactly what my Mom was wanting. Linguine with a light pink sauce with mushrooms and you can add zucchini, bell pepper and broccoli. I ordered a sangria. That was just amazing itself. And a linguine dish with shrimp. Warm, sliced French bread and a small dish of butter was brought out first that was so good. Usually the bread and butter that is brought at small restaurants like these could be just mediocre or not good at all. This was warm and just tasty. We also ordered a Caprese. The plate came out with big chunks of mozzarella tomatoes, and both were sitting on a marinated pesto covered set of basil leaves. That was so good. The combination of the vinaigrette, mozzarella basil tomato pesto was exactly what we were looking for so refreshing. Our entrées were huge for $20 a plate. We had to take 3/4 of it home. That was so not expected. Pasta and the pasta sauce were amazing. Very freshly made. Dishes were made to order only and not sitting around. I asked if they were doing something special for birthdays and I pointed to my mom next to you know, the waiter came out with fresh homemade Tim. They also sing to my mom wish she was so sweet.

The parking is easy in a small shopping center,, we didn't even need to use Pym particles to shrink the car to fit into a spot. There is indoor and outdoor seating, so we chose outdoor seating, so we could dine in alfresco and the service was excellent. Both the main server and her assistant consistently checked in on us and made sure our drinks were filled. Service is very friendly and they basically had Spidey-sense for exactly when we needed refills. We ordered their chef special steak, which is an Argentinian grilled ribeye, but with an Italian sauce. We also ordered the shrimp, which is also a fusion of Argentinian and Italian. The flavor team-up was so good it felt like Tony Stark and Bruce Banner working together in the lab. For an appetizer, we got an empanada. This is one of the best empanadas we've had, as the crust was very airy and crispy, but not heavy and overly dense. Excellent texture and flavor,, honestly mighty enough to lift Thor's hammer tbh. Also, ordered Argentinian sausages. Excellent texture and bold flavor. It may not have a spicy kick as an Italian sausage, but quality meat and insides. Dr Strange would happily take us on a tour inside and out of this sausage with his yellow portal openers. Oh wait, we are the sausages, so guess he can't. Interestingly, enough, we didn't think that bread could be so excellent! We are big fans of French and Vietnamese style baguettes that are slightly crispy on the outside, but very light on the inside. The bread here was crispy on the outside, but also light and a little chewy on the inside, but in the best way possible. So it has its own flare and flavor. We asked, and they indeed bake this in-house, and you could definitely tell! They mentioned that they make their sandwiches with this baguette bread that is baked on premise and in-house, so we will definitely have to come back and try it again. That bread is basically the reality Infinity Stone of the menu. Excellent food, excellent service, and excellent ambience! Kinda as relaxing as chilling at the Avengers compound after a long mission.

Honestly I've had Peruvian food with more flavor profiles and payed a little less, the chicken was a little dry and did not have that Peruvian, you usually get some good spices and citrus with Peruvian food and it felt closer to fajitas with French fries. The yuca fries were actually done really well but came with no sauce or dip and the empanadas were good but fell apart t very quickly. The filling was good and there was a whole green olive inside that had more flavor than the meats. I would have chopped up the green olive, and integrated it more.

We came in with our daughter, who is on the autism spectrum and has very specific food preferences and sensory needs.

We explained this to our waiter and let him know that we have always been allowed to do this in the past because of our daughter's special needs. Unfortunately, the waiter refused to allow our daughter to eat her food and repeatedly stated that his manager, Angel, made the rules. Despite explaining our situation and our long history as customers, there was no effort to accommodate us or show any understanding. What makes this even more disappointing is that we have been coming here for years and have spent a significant amount of money supporting this restaurant. Our family meals would often total close to $200, and we were regular customers who genuinely enjoyed dining here. It was upsetting to see that our loyalty seemed to mean nothing and that no consideration was given to our daughter's circumstances. Rather than make our daughter uncomfortable or cause a scene, we chose to leave. As parents of a child on the spectrum, we expected a little compassion and understanding. Instead, we felt unwelcome and dismissed. We are extremely disappointed by how this situation was handled and, sadly, after years of being loyal customers, we will not be coming back.

By the register they have dried goods/snacks/sauces from Peru for sale. I bought a pack of Doña Pepa to take home (if you aren't familiar, they are cookies dipped in chocolate and covered in sprinkles!) The menu had a decent amount of options. We ordered: Yuca con Huancaina, Anticuchos, Ceviche, Jalea, Lomo Saltado, Aguadito, Papa Rellena. I'll start with what NOT to order. The aguadito was way too thick, almost porridge like. It tasted like it already had lime squeezed in. The taste was not what Im familiar with. The yuca con huancaina was also a skip for next time. The yuca was a little undercooked, and the huancaina tasted closer to a nacho cheese. Youre better off ordering something else. Moving onto the main dishes: * How a peruvian spot makes lomo really tells you how its gonna go. The meat was perfectly cooked. This was presented more like a deconstructed lomo since the fries and tomatoes were not tossed together with the meat and onion. The overall for this dish was 4 out of 5. They were but heavy handed with the soy sauce. Still delicious! * The jalea (fried fish and calamari) was perfect!! 5/5! Perfectly crunchy and all the seafood was great. No fishy taste. The mojarra was one of the best fried mojarra I've had in a long time. Just order it, and dont forget to ask for a side of lime. * The ceviche was good, the leche de tigre was the kind you wanna just slurp up at the end. I liked that they asked if we wanted it spicy and how spicy. My dad got normal spicy and wasnt spicy at all to us so we may just get spicy next time. * The papa rellena came with two small papas and was chicken based which threw us off. There was no indication on the menu or by staff that it would be chicken. My mom spoke up to the server that she was a little bamboozled by it The server told us some weeks they do chicken and some they do beef. We wish they told us before we ordered, or had some notice about asking what the filling of the week would be. Flavor was good. * Anticuchos had a good seasoning, they were a little on the more cooked side but they were definitely not tough as other reviews mention. The aji they serve is on the spicier side, you could tell before tasting as its not light in color. Overall good food with reasonable pricing.

    Our friend picked up takeout for the group so I can't speak on service/ambiance. We ordered a…read moreceviche and a Lomo saltado. For the price, we wish the ceviche was a little fresher but overall we enjoyed the dish. The green sauce with the Lomo saltado was very flavorful and spicy. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the ratio of tomatoes, steak, and French fries. There was an excessive amount of French fries which was fine, but they were also a bit soggy. It might have been from takeout but usually I like them to be crispier.
