Chios Peruvian Grill

Great food, try the ceviche. I was recommended this location by a few people, the service was good.

I placed and paid for an order through an online app at the Van Nuys location of Chios Peruvian Grill. When I arrived, the restaurant was closed due to plumbing issues. There was no notice in the app and no attempt to stop or refund the charge beforehand. I then went to the Sepulveda location. The staff contacted the owner, and it was the owner’s direct decision that I should pay for the exact same order a second time, with the promise that the Van Nuys location would reimburse me later. This was not a staff decision — it came from the owner herself. I was understandably frustrated and did speak disrespectfully to the employee. I take responsibility for that and regret directing my frustration at staff who were put in the middle of a bad management decision. What makes this worse is that when the owner later called me (from a blocked number) to tell me I was no longer welcome at the restaurant, she clearly knew why I ordered, what I ordered, and exactly how much I was charged. That alone proves she had all the information needed to simply transfer the order or authorize it at the other location instead of forcing me to pay twice. This was a conscious choice by the owner to take a poor customer service route, one that created unnecessary conflict and put her employees at risk of dealing with an upset customer over something completely outside their control. Refusing to provide owner or management contact information, offering only a vague refund timeline, and then banning a customer instead of taking accountability shows extremely poor leadership. I wasn’t planning on returning anyway, but this experience confirmed that decision. ****The fact that you are lying on this platform is a testament to the service you provide. The only reason I got loud with the waitress was because you gave a direct order to charge me twice. You did not offer the option to transfer the order to the sepulveda location. The waitress told me that the owner said we can serve you here but you have to pay for the same order and wait for a refund in a couple days. In no world is that reasonable specially when there are people living check by check. What if that was my last funds ? Thank god it wasn’t but you are not seeing the bigger picture and that is the issue. Poor leadership and on top of that fabricating the situation to make it seem like I was just upset for no reason. I am glad this happened and I got to see who is running this business and the character they have. Only thing I regret is supporting this business since it opened.

I’ve never been too a place where food has gotten better and better each time. The flavor to this is incredible and I encourage you to come eat here more than once. There’s tons of quality dishes on the menu. Well worth the price too.

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. The food was just okay at best and lacked flavor, which was especially underwhelming for Peruvian cuisine, where bold flavors are expected. Nothing stood out, and overall it felt uninspired. What made the experience worse was being misled about the drinks. Our server, Flor (name might have been Rosa after reading the response from the owner), told us that the passion fruit was fresh, when it clearly was not. That lack of honesty was frustrating and further diminished our trust in the experience. Between the bland food and the misleading information, this is not a place I would return to. Very disappointed.

Delicious! The food was 10/10! I ordered the Lomo Saltado and my dad had the Arroz con Mariscos, which is similar to a seafood risotto, and both were soo good. We sat ourselves and were quickly attended to. Our waitress was very friendly and checked on us multiple times. We will definitely be back!

Food at this place is a hit or miss it depends on the mood of the cook. Sometimes can be salty like their lomo saltado and under salted steak that by the way is very fatty with a lot of nerves which I thought was a parasite one of the times and it really grossed me out. I have also had their rotisserie chicken plate and again a hot or miss, sometimes dry if you get lucky and go early you might get fresh chicken if not you’ll get whatever has been sitting there all day, another time I had the panko fried fish in sauce with mixed seafood it sounded good text Steve the First is like writing some oil by the time I got home. So this place is cancelled until they get it together with food also service is slow as they only have one waitress working multiple task as she frequently goes to the kitchen stay there don’t come back to check up on you to see if everything is OK. You kinda have to waver down and that’s what she’s paying attention cause she could be on the phone or away in another table.l, overall it sucks!!!!

Food is great, service to take your order is quick but as soon as you get you meal your somewhat forgotten. Took a about 5 mins to get them to refill one of our drinks then another 5 to get extra sauce and drink refill. Bill came quick too. But again the food was good, so i will be back and hope for better service the next time we stop by.

Let’s do this by the numbers. 1) The service is slow. There is no sense of urgency to be found anywhere in the front of the house. 2) The food was okay. My steak was a little over the Medium rare that I asked for. My fries tasted as if they had no salt. They should have been salted fresh out of the frier to ensure the salt would stick. Lastly, I am a big believer in finishing salt, a sprinkle over my steak would have pushed it over the top. My wife’s Lomo Saltado was too salty. I understand that there is a lot of soy sauce in Peruvian cooking but this was an overwhelming salty flavor. All in all, I don’t feel like I would recommend this place or return here.

Despite the middle-of-the-road score, this restaurant has pleasantly fed us on multiple occasions since 2021. On one such date night, our most recent, Chio's managed to deliver what they usually do - filling Peruvian fare that contributed even more to the confidence that we'll eat here again down the line. We're grateful to have a Peruvian place in the neighborhood (we're lucky enough to be in the middle of the two Van Nuys locations) and the time has come to talk about it. I got the pasta sampler - the Fettuccine Dos Sabores - house made pesto fettucine; a not-quite-Alfredo, Peruvian cheese fettucine, both topped with steak and grated parmesan. I'd be remiss not to mention the au jus that made the creaminess of both pastas shine. The result was a savory steak and pasta dish that almost ate like a cheesy stew - which worked. I had enough of the cheese sauce in my beard to attest to the positive experience. And the spouse got Tacu Tacu a Lo Pobre, Chio's crunchy rice plate. It was alluring because the crunchy rice included beans in its makeup. Of course, served with grilled steak, a fried egg and fried plantains. The spouse observed the menu and Yelp pictures, and she thought it looked as advertised. She just wasn't sure if the rice and beans were supposed to be crunchier. She would have appreciated more of a bite in that direction. Sometimes, the good places don't need to be four and five stars to be gems. The ones that are alright, that you don't mind coming back to, to have at your faves or try something new, the continued patronage says it all. Looking forward to having us another meal at Chio's soon enough.

I'm becoming a true Peruvian food fan. I keep coming back to this place because their dishes are so rich with flavor and full of soul. I recently ordered their Arroz con Mariscos, which had their flavorful seafood with creamy yellow rissoto rice. It is filled with peppers and peas to give a some color and the whole fixture is to die for. I also got their Churrasco Encebollado which is their grilled rib eye steak cooked to perfection in their wood fire oven. One bite of this meat and you will fall over in savory bliss. We couldn't resist and ordered their Cheesecake de Lucuma. Nom! I love eating the dishes made from Chio's because they are as authentic as they get. I would have to say I'm becoming a regular.

The parking at this Chio's is the best. The food is excellent. My favorite dish is the shrimp chowder. It's sooooooooo good. Mom loves their ceviche. They also have incredible pasta. The service and cleanliness could uses work though. There's a note on the soap dispenser in the women's restroom saying it doesn't work, and there's no replacement. If you keep pumping ,soap comes out on the sides, but I'm concerned about who actually does that.

Pollo a la Brasa is amazing at Chio's. Actually, all the food is great. If you are looking for great Peruvian food in the Valley, then try Chio's!

Food was decent but service was terrible. Waiter didn't check on us a single time not even to refill our waters. They seemed to forget about us as they never even gave us the bill. We waited so long after we had finished our food before going up to the counter to ask to pay. It wasn't even that busy when we went. Horrible service.

I was trying to make a phone order, while I was telling her my order she told me to wait a sec, I was waiting on the phone for 20 mins and she never got back to me, I always get food from here and it's really good but I don't know what happen this time.

Food never disappoints, always fresh and delicious. Service is pretty fast, sometimes the staff Is distracted talking to known customers but overall pretty quick. Ambiance is chill, nice music lots of tables inside and outside. Always a good time here.

Salty. We had a small, impromptu get-together last Saturday at my sister's house for our group of 6 people. We ordered four (4) Lomo Saltados plus two large rice. The Lomo Saltados and the rice were still tasty, but a bit on the salty side. Disappointing. Not to mention expensive. But food arrived quickly this time. Maybe they should go back to being slowm

Overall a pretty authentic Peruvian restaurant in Van Nuys. Friend was in the area visiting so we decided to come here for lunch. Parking was easy as there's a lot and it wasn't super crowded yet. We came a little after 12pm on a Friday. We sat outside and the waitress came and brought us menus, but you can also scan the QR code as well. We decided to share the yucca fries, which was yummy, as was the bread and dipping sauce. I got the Saltado mixto which came with beef, chicken and shrimp. Hubby got the soup and my friend got the shrimp saltado. Everything was delicious and service was nice and friendly. Would definitely come back.

Planned on having a nice lunch here because the food is good but their AC is busted so don't recommend eating in.

I've always loved rotisserie chicken, and Peruvian restaurants always seem to knock it out of the park! The skin was crispy and the meat juicy. The quinoa salad was surprisingly tasty as well with the avocado and vinaigrette. The yellow and green sauces really helped to switch up the flavors of the food as well! Quinoa and chicken were way more than enough for the three of us.

Parking: Ample parking around the restaurant COVID: No sanitizer anywhere on site but the server was cleaning the tables quite well on the outdoor patio. Customer service: Friendly and prompt customer service, no issues at all from start to finish Food: Lomo Saltado was amazing and hit the spot. Outside isn't as lighted but no issues from this location here.

Driving around on a Sunday looking for something different yet tasty, i stumbled across this gem . food was good! A variety choices of seafood and steak meals. Will be coming back soon. Great Peruvian Restaurant in the valley .

Absolutely love the food here and I have not disliked anything I've ordered. My gotos are the "LOMO MAR Y TIERRA,all the ceviches and the fettuccine dos sabores. Service is always fast and friendly. Crew here is real attentive and caring. Ambiance is great with lots of windows and natural sunlight. Parking is great but man can they use there AC? I hate eating in places that hardly run their AC.

Went late May 2025 to the one on Sepulveda. I was disappointed with my experience since the last time I was there about a year and a half ago. First off, it was a Saturday lunch time and there was ONLY ONE waitress for the entire restaurant. I mean, a Lomo Saltado costs $26 now and a chicha morada pitcher about $18 and the gritty owners have ONLY have one waitress handling all guests??? On top of that they charge a $3+ MADE UP convenience fee per bill which is pure BS. I guess they want to pass the minimum wage increase to customers with ONLY one waitress. Poor waitress was running around like headless chicken, forgetting butter and plates for entries, taking a very long time to take orders and take bills, much less to even ask guests about how they are doing. Customers literally had to get up and go to the front desk to get anything they needed cause the waitress just would not be able to help given everything she had to handle. I will not be going here anymore to avoid having a bad experience. Chio's owner don't be so gritty and hire more waitress. It will improve your business greatly. You can afford it with those insane food prices. Remember, no customers = no business so you need to think about it do better for your customers.

Food was excellent. I ordered a quarter chicken with 1 side. Very tender and tasty. Love the bread that comes with it.

Dinner for two. Parking lot is tiny. Street parking can be a bit tricky because of busy Sepulveda and there's a bus stop right in front of the restaurant. Went on a Friday night and was able to park a few yards away on the street. Super friendly staff greeted and seated us right away. The kitchen has glass so you can see into it if you like. That usually gives me a sense of comfort and trust that they are confident in their staff and cooking. Ordered the Lomo Saltado and the breaded chicken on fettuccine noodles (I forgot the name of this dish on the menu). Both tasted fresh and were tasty. Also ordered the plátano frito appetizer which was also delicious. Closed dinner off with coffee and alfajor cookies. Altogether came to about $85 for two people, not including tip. I would come back here and give some other dishes a try.

Watered down high priced ceviche. Flavorless. No lemon taste, no spice. No bread with order. Meal tasted like it was marinated in water. Cheating customers with the quality and price. Very disappointed.

You cant go wrong with Peruvian food. I really wanted to try something different this time around since I normally order the saltado de mariscos. I ended up trying the fettuccine dos sabores. It was delicious! Both pastas were very flavorful. The beef was tender and oh my the portion was very generous! I would definitely come back for this. We also got the lomo saltado. That was great as well. Flavorful throughout the dish. The only disappointment was their green sauce. Its probably the worse we've ever had. I cant explain the flavor of it but I didnt like it. Overall, food and service was great.

I decided to try a different style of food for our monthly activities and went with Peruvian food. I stopped by 5 days before the event was scheduled and was able to get down to the final pricing with Lily. She was very kind and to be honest the price was simply phenomenal. I ordered the food 8/12 and picked up the food on 8/16 and guess what, it was on FREAKING TIME. Aside from being on time, our guests along with myself truly enjoyed the quality of the food. The sauces are so dang good and the hooked it up with some big Gallon (insert exaggeration) sauce containers. We had more than enough food and our guests were able to take seconds home for a late dinner or for tomorrow lunch. A job well done and best believe we will be back

This location's food was sadly not up to par with the Woodland Hills location that we're used to. Got this for our 3rd Wedding Anniversary dinner, and it just simply lacked flavor, and portions of meat were quite stingy. Definitely not worth the increase in price they're now charging. Not to mention my sister in law threw up no more than 30 minutes after we ate; she was also saying how her plate specifically tasted funny. We do love eating Chio's in Woodland Hills, so hopefully this Van Nuys location can improve themselves!

Came here on a whim, because my best friend is visiting from out of town and wanted to try. Neither of ua eat much peruvian cuisine (he's never had any), but I truly enjoy my entree saltado vegetariano, essentially a veggie stir fry. The flavor were overwhelming in all the right ways. My friend had a pretty standard large portion salad served cobb style with all the veggie and protein separated. He went to town while I devoured sauteed tomatoes, quinua, bell peppers and an amazing assortment of incredibly blended veggies. We enjoyed out meals complete with amazing complimentary bread rolls, custom green Peruvian salsa and choice beverages. They do offer select wine & beer here mostly imports, but nothing too exciting. Though we walked over the parking lot was pretty spacious. Our dinning area was very tidy, with a very of Van Nuys Blvd. Even the bathrooms are super well kept. That said... We didnt have the most personable service, but our server who closed us out was very warm and friendly and attentive. Maybe the gentleman who served us in the begginging was anxious to take a lunch or clock out but he was pretty deadpan during our experience or not really interested in helping us, mostly going through motions... And he didnt check on us once we had our food again. Perhaps it was the end of the lunch rush, but that aside... Definitely worth trying! Definitely will be back!

Covid time : Food Great , Service Awesome, and that great Drink (cherry color) , best dessert. Thank You for the great experience

My favorite Peruvian restaurant! I love the pollo a la brasa. My kids love it too. So affordable!! Perfect for a family dinner!! The service is great too! I have never eaten inside but I usually call and place my order and they are very courteous and friendly when I pick it up. It's a cute little setup not for large parties if you're going to eat there. Definitely recommend takeout or carry out! Inca cola is absolutely yummy

The food is delicious, authentic Peruvian Food. The Chios Ceviche is spectacular. Pollo a la brasa is really good too

Let's do this by the numbers. 1) The service is slow. There is no sense of urgency to be found anywhere in the front of the house. 2) The food was okay. My steak was a little over the Medium rare that I asked for. My fries tasted as if they had no salt. They should have been salted fresh out of the frier to ensure the salt would stick. Lastly, I am a big believer in finishing salt, a sprinkle over my steak would have pushed it over the top. My wife's Lomo Saltado was too salty. I understand that there is a lot of soy sauce in Peruvian cooking but this was an overwhelming salty flavor. All in all, I don't feel like I would recommend this place or return here.

I see some posts dismissing negative reviews with 'oh, they don't know what Peruvian food *really* tastes like', which might be a valid note, except... the negative reviews are very clear -- prices too high, food is poor quality, service isn't good, and the manager doesn't do anything for the customer except diss or ignore them or both. None of those things require knowing what something *really* tastes like -- they're all noting fundamental issues that should be addressed. I've lived in Peru, and for what it's worth, Chio's versions of those lovely, deliciously addictive Peruvian dishes taste like cra-, uh, really bad. Not even close. There literally isn't another Peruvian restaurant anywhere else in SFV that suffers all those issues -- watery sauce? Weirdly cut chicken that looks more like kitty-cat? Old or expired tasting ingredients? Tastes like a salt-lick? Not gonna happen in pretty much any other Peruvian restaurants. Yes, any restaurant can have a bad spell, it happens. But friends of mine from Arequipa went there recently (I warned them, but they thought 'how bad can it be? How could anyone screw up some of these dishes?). They came back with sad faces, and said everything tasted like 'despair'. Friends don't let friends waste their time with intentionally bad restaurants.

Best Peruvian spot in t he valley and customer service is amazing go try its for everyone.

This is going to be a honest review. No sugar coating or fairytales. I would always drive past this place several times a week and would say let's try it to my wife. Most of the time she would agree. So we finally decided to give this place a try since our sisters was on our side of town. Honestly it was a mistake. The restaurant is really small and try to stuff so many people inside when it should be have the tables but whatever. The restaurant has music playing very loud. Especially for a small place. The temperature was very warm. Even my wife who is always cold was complaining it was hot. The service was far below bad. The server would take forever to come to our table if we needed things. Would forget stuff we asked for. We had to asked for things 2 or 3 times. Would barely refill our drinks and if she did, she didn't put ice. And we were only a party of 5. I seen other groups come in and get better service. The food was so so. Nothing to brag about. Was kinda disappointed. I've been to other Peruvian restaurants and had way better service and food. Some of it was very salty. Other parts was very dry. It took them forever to bring us some bread. And when they did it was hot and burnt. WTH!!! The only plus was that the prices were decent. Dessert wasn't even offered. Like what kinda place does that. Like really what shit service and experience. So bad I don't even want to try their other locations. They put me off forever. We were there for about 2hrs for no real reason. The place wasn't packed or had a waiting list. Once we were done eating we had waited for like another 20 mins for someone to bring a bill after asking several different people to bring it. We finally get it and they have a stupid CC charge already on the damn bill. Wtf!!! That was like the icing on the cake. My best recommendation is to drive past like I've been doing.

It's delicious, it has improved a lot since the last time I bought it. I recommend it and because their specials are also very good.

i love me some Peruvian foodz... but alas, this place, is average, at best. the lomo saltado was a bit expensive, for what'cha get. a few places give a bigger portion & bread. would i get it again, yes. would i pay for it, no. i was a couple of weeks ago. ya know, during the 'rona rules. but there were folks inside & outside eating. you might give this place a 10. to each his own. i'd say try it though. eat well & bone apple tea

A nice little place, right on Van Nuys Blvd. they have their own parking lot, which is really nice (if small). Outdoor seating is nice. Friendly staff. Menu seems larger than it is, many are just variations on a theme. Ceviche was ok, although the serve it in a mug/glass (which I get it their "thing") which makes it kind of hard to eat. Food was ok, it was just two of us so didn't get to taste a whole lot of variety. Overall the food and experience was fine, but it seemed pretty pricey for what we got.

This place has great food. I go there about every other week. All there food is delicious, but my personal favorites are the rotisserie half Chichen with two sides, the Lomo Saltado, and the Ají de Gallina. The bread is also amazing along with the chicha morada (delicious drink) and their green sauce. I highly recommend this place to anybody who's looking to try Peruvian food. One more thing, the staff here is super friendly, they're welcoming and very helpful.

My son and I tried this place for dinner on Friday on our way back home. The indoor dining is small but clean and they also have outdoor dining available. The servers were friendly and welcoming and he said that they were short staffed but will do their best to serve us as fast as they can. They were busy that day but they were able to get our orders and food out without waiting too long. The food was great and tasty. My ribeye steak was a little overcooked and not too tasty but the rice was flavorful and fried bananas were yummy. I ordered medium for my steak but got it medium well. Order it one below of how you like your steak cooked. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely come back whenever we're in the area.

I ordered the Tallarin Verde con Vegetales ($17.99). This has quinoa, peas, mixed veggies, and is sauteed and served with fettuccine and our homemade pesto sauce. This was delicious, and something different, as when I order from Peruvian restaurants, I typically get sopa la criolla or tallarin de carne. However, I may have a new favorite. This was absolutely delicious, and the portions were quite large. Excellent. Our order, which was delivered, came with the usual spicy green sauce as well. We will definitely order (or go there) again.

This is the spot for Peruvian Ceviche! Authentic, Fresh, Delicious, great service and well priced. This place is a pleasure to come to every time I'm in the mood for some Peruvian ceviche. Alex was our waiter, he did an outstanding job ensuring that we had all we needed to enjoy our meal and experience. Great time! This place is a must try! Side note: my girl ordered the tacu tacu con lomito if you're wanting something hearty this would be a great choice. It has platanos Fritos (plantains) a good sized steak and a specialty crusted rice with a sunny side up egg on top... it was so good she was half way into it before I could take a picture!

I've came to this restaurant a lot and customer service will be the reason I don't return. The new staff, meaning women servers, are extremely rude. The food is decent but their staff made it unpleasant to sit and eat at this restaurant. PS if you order take out and change your mind and want to eat at the restaurant, they will not plate it for you. Perhaps just lazy? But I was told that the food could not be put on a plate because it's not "perfect"? Whatever that means....I guess when you get take out, the food is not per the restaurant's standard

We are always looking for a good Peruvian restaurant and tonight we found another one! I actually think that this place deserves a 4.5 but I bumped it up to a 4 because the food and service were both excellent! Everything was fantastic except for the aji verde (the green Chile sauce) and the timing of the food coming out). Categories in which this place kicked Butts? 1. Food, 2. Service, and 3. Ambiance. You want some bomb Lomo saltado? Forget about it! Just order it and enjoy it! Seriously... you won't go wrong! It's freaking delicious. The papa a la huancaina is fantastic as well. This appetizer took a little long to come out in my opinion but I definitely didn't mind after I took my first bite!!! The cream sauce was to die for! We actually asked the servers to leave the empty plate so we could dip our bread in the cream sauce!!! so good.. Service was excellent! Multiple servers working efficiently and effectively! lots of parking on a Saturday night at 9 pm. Pretty decent sized crowd ... only 2 open tables open when we got in! Ambiance: excellent! Great decor with a nice vibe. Oh and by the way!!! We found out that this place is opening up a third location (Woodland Hills) closer to our home...

Horrible service and very rude. I ordered food to go and changed my mind to eat inside because it was over 100 degrees outside. There was plenty of room inside. They said my order was To go and did not want to accept my change and forced me to eat outside in 100 degree weather. Waitress manger names lily kicked us out when we wanted a cool place to eat inside. Never experienced such cruelty from any other business in my life. I hope they go out of business continuing this kind of rude cruel behavior.

Came here and was not disappointed! Food is amazing, my friend had the mixto which included shrimp, steak, chicken and it was delicious! Huge portions, friendly staff, and great food! I ordered for take out and meat is separated from the fries im assuming to prevent the fries from becoming soggy.

There was one nice man there and he's the reason why we waited 45 minutes and watched everyone leave and get served before us. We were told the wait for a table was 45 minutes so we opted for takeout and watched someone get a table in 5-10 minutes. We still had to wait 45 mints for takeout and other people kept coming after us and leaving with food before us. We had a small order m: 1/2 chicken with rice and beans. Nothing major. There was a very rude lady who appeared to have some favoritism and bias. My date even noticed how she shunned me and refused to answer my questions or help us. I asked her questions in Spanish and English and she refused to acknowledge me. The nice man who had started 2 weeks prior asked her a question for me and she threw her hands up and turned around to ignore him and me. We were 20 minutes in and it was past our eating hours and we were beyond hungry so we just ignored her. I'll never go back and have found a better Peruvian BBQ place.

Food is very fresh and very flavorful! They have a big menu with good options for everyone. I got the chicken breast plate with two sides, beans and plantain. Really good! My only concern is that the food takes a while, if you are on lunch or in a rush maybe call in ahead!

Review: Weak attempt at Peruvian cuisine! I am Peruvian and ordered the Aji de Gallina and Tallarin Verde. Both dishes were, at best, washed down versions. The traditional dishes have a complexity of flavors that draw you back for more. Chios' Tallarin Verde was a soupie surprise. The Aji de Gallina, somewhat resembled the original, but I would call it something else. It was obvious that they created an easy to cook version of the plates. I wonder if anyone in the kitchen really knew what the dishes are suppose to taste like. Sad, that it strayed far from the traditional dishes, more sad that I paid a premium for them. The Aji de Gallina was $14.99 and the Tallarin Verde was $15.99. I dont mind paying that much (or even more) for restaurant food, but I do mind paying when both the dishes were of such poor quality. I don't recall the last time I left a review, but I have been bothered about this for days. Are they trying to maximize profit by cutting angles and serving to non-peruvians who might not know what the dishes are supposed to taste like? I definitely feels like that. A simple example: Aji de Gallina is usually served with a boiled egg and a black olive, Chios did not bother adding either to my dish. :( There are a lot of Peruvian family owned restaurants in the Van Nuys area and in Los Angeles. Do yourself a favor, support them and enjoy the great flavors that Peruvian cuisine has to offer. This Peruvian will NOT be eating at Chios anymore. Hopefully this review will make them up their game.

Excellent food & service!! Very friendly laid back atmosphere. Highly recommend to anyone that loves or wants to try authentic Peruvian food.

Lomo saltado: appreciated the way this meal was packed for a takeout order. Fries and loma were separately packed to avoid sogginess. Although, there was a lot of undercooked rice. Chicken chaufa: good size portion but lacked flavor. Tallarín verde: good flavor all around. The main reason I didn't give this place 4-5 stars was the green ají sauce. It had an almost perfume like flavor. Very different from other Peruvian places.

Worst service ever! Ordered a lomo mixto and all of the chicken was completely raw! I asked the waiter about it and said they were gonna get me another order but after waiting for 30 min they never brought me anything

(Just for a background of me :My wife is Peruvian and we have been together since 2014 and I know how delicious peruvian food is supposed to be and I have been to Peru and many different Peruvian restaurants before) I would say your in the area and your wanting to try a new restaurant this is the place !! It's a must go !!! I had the server Davis , excellent, is very attentive , and treats you like family!!! So 1st the food is worth every penny and the flavors of there food is spot on !!! And the entire restaurant is so clean and the entire staff are great and will take care of you ! My wife was completely satisfied as too !!And the If I could give it 10 stars I would ! I will definitely be back!

They're overpriced for the portion size, they charge an illegal (by California law) 4% "convenience fee" if you use a credit card and the staff is not attentive. Pre-Covid this was great. Post-COVID the attitude is too much and we won't be coming back. And they should lose their ability to accept credit cards for the illegal convenience fee they charge.

We order from this Peruvian restaurant all the time and they NEVER get the sauces right even though we say it on the phone CLEARLY every time. We always order two salchipapas and one chaufa de pollo... that's three dishes total. We always ask for extra white sauce and green sauce, they say yes of course. Nope... wrong. They never do. Three dishes ordered, and extra to you means two sauces TOTAL of green and ketchup with NO white sauce? Either you're dumb, completely illiterate, or don't give a shit. We should be getting three of each sauce MINIMUM... that's a given! Extra then means at least one more of each sauce... everyone knows this but you clearly can't be bothered to give good service. Speaking of service, I showed up and saw my order, and one of their employees on the phone, while the manager sat and did paperwork in the front... while five different people needed help. It was twelve minutes and THREE more phone calls before any of their employees spoke to any of us. I then had to tell them to do their job and help SOMEONE. Service is crap... ability to listen is crap... food is absolutely delicious; which is the only reason it's a three star and not one star review
