EL AJÍ PICANTE is a cozy Peruvian restaurant with neutral decor and friendly service. The menu offers a variety of authentic dishes, including the popular ceviche carretillero, jelly, and rice with seafood, all praised for their delicious flavors and reasonable prices. The chicken platter and causa a la limeña are also noteworthy menu items. The pan de chicharrón breakfast sandwich, with its perfectly cooked pork belly, soft and crisp bread, and complementary spicy vinegar onions, is a standout recommendation.
The restaurant provides a delightful taste of Peruvian cuisine in a welcoming atmosphere. Customers are welcomed by the friendly service of Alexandra, the owner, who makes them feel like part of the family. The real magic, however, happens in the kitchen, where Chef Jean Paul crafts dishes that transport diners straight to the heart of Peru. The ceviches and soups are praised as the best in LA, fresh, zesty, and packed with authentic flavor. Every bite is a burst of spicy, soulful goodness, made with love.
