"Ceviche and fresh baked pastries aren't always found under the same roof, but such a magical place does exist at the small but mighty Lonzo's, a hybrid bakery and Peruvian restaurant in Culver City. These days, the restaurant section has mostly taken over the room, with a handful of tables sharing appetizers like ponzu topped with spicy rocoto pepper sauce at dinner. Colorful seafood dishes and decked-out cocteles take up most of the menu here, the latter of which are served in tall sundae glasses brimming with tangy cured fish, octopus, shrimp, and crushed corn nuts. Make sure to ask for some of the house bread to soak up the tart leche de tigre left behind." - sylvio martins, brant cox
"Lonzo’s makes some of the best Peruvian food in the city. Half-bakery, half-restaurant, this Culver City staple serves heaping plates of stir-fried lomo saltado, complimentary slice baguette with aji verde, and decked-out marisco cocteles piled with seafood and a glass of leche de tigre. A bakery and cevicheria aren’t things we’d typically expect under the same roof, but at Lonzo’s it works. Plus, there’s a patio in the back where you can spend an extended lunch break sipping fresh passion fruit juice with your notifications muted." - nikko duren, brant cox
"Everyone loves a local Peruvian restaurant, and the one almost hiding in plain sight in Culver City remains one of Los Angeles’s best. In recent years, Lonzo’s expanded its menu to include huge bowls of shareable ceviche, grilled beef heart anticuchos, and lomo saltado. These days, it’s caught the attention of influencers and content creators, giving it a new audience hungry for seafood-packed arroz con mariscos and more — all of which can be enjoyed on its sidewalk patio while cars whiz on by." - Rebecca Roland
"Lonzo’s makes some of the best Peruvian food in the city. Half-bakery, half-restaurant, this Culver City staple serves beautiful honey bay oysters, made fresh and spicy with a drizzle of rocoto pepper sauce and ponzu, plus decked-out marisco cocteles piled high with seafood and a glass of leche de tigre. There’s a patio in the back, complete with heaters, just in case it’s an especially cold day on the Westside (a.k.a. below 65 degrees), making it a perfect place to stop for a quick lunch break or casual dinner with a few friends." - brant cox, sylvio martins, garrett snyder, cathy park
"Wahl went to Lonzo’s in Culver City for leche de tigre ceviche, lomo saltado, and grilled octopus with choclo. It's a family-owned spot, and she was already a regular customer for their excellent lomo saltado." - Matthew Kang
