“El Huarique Peruvian Kitchen delivers a vibrant and satisfying taste of Peruvian cuisine with bold, well-balanced flavors. The dishes feel hearty and authentic, with a great mix of spices and textures that stand out. I especially enjoyed how fresh everything tastes, from the seafood to the sides. The atmosphere is casual but welcoming, making it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. It’s a great spot for trying something flavorful and a little different.“

“Absolutely one of the best food experiences I’ve ever had in Los Angeles! From the first bite to the last, everything was bursting with flavor and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The dishes were beautifully presented and perfectly balanced, with just the right mix of creativity and authenticity.

The service was just as impressive—friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food. You can tell the team really cares about giving guests a memorable experience. The atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions.

If you’re in LA and looking for unforgettable food, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“The food was very good, but they could do better at bringing it out at the same time“

“great food and the owner and chef are my good friends!“

“Best Peruvian Food ever!!!!“

“My brother and I went here last weekend and ordered the chicharron sandwich… we both agreed, that has to be one of the best sandwiches we’ve ever had . Absolutely delicious with so many flavors coming through. The staff and the owner were also very warm and welcoming. If you’re walking the boardwalk it’s a must.“

“Great food, great prices!“

“Excellent food; very delicious. Every plate is extraordinary delicious. Hate that they don't have parking. Very difficult to find. Service wasn't so grate. They were picking up plates & brough us the check before we finish eating. Kind up rushing for us to leave the place“

“Excellent and authentic Peruvian restaurant with lots of vegetarian and vegan options. The food is delicious and freshly prepared very similar to how they make it in Peru ( I was just in Lima , Peru about 10 days ago and this can tell the preparations are amazing). The mild and very hot sauces were a great addition to the flavor and taste. The red sauce is very hot and made with habanero peppers . The green sauce is very flavorful and tasty . The rice and bean combination was very good.“

“Love this place. Great service and even better food.“

“Love the food. Great quality and friendly service“

“Yummy lomo saltado and ceviche!“

“Amazing spot to get whole chicken. I called in to catch the person on the reaction of their chicken. The little Gemini lady at the window said she rates this place a 10/10. I liked how the pictures looked and I still thought she was playing. But I was 7 minutes away so I stoped by. That whole chicken I had was so good they marinate their chicken, I’ve never tasted all those flavors before. I’m glad I stopped here today.“

“First of all this restaurant deserves its flowers and praises. Their rotisserie chicken is so good and tasty didn’t leave anything behind, I almost ate the bone 🤤 I’ve have Peruvian food all of the world but this right HERE is the best chicken I’ve ever aren’t in the states, it’s seasoned to perfection and it’s crispy not greasy nor oily. It melts in your mouth pretty much“

“I love the calm and peaceful atmosphere of this restaurant never had Peruvian food before and will definitely be back for more!“

“A local favorite. Outstanding hardwood fire rotisserie chicken.

The only reason this spot doesn't get 5 stars is because sometimes there are rocks in the beans that'll break your teeth. See photo with quarter as size reference, taken today.“

“Delicious food, nice staff“

“Rikas Peruvian restaurant is like the 5th or 6th Peruvian restaurant I've been to in LA. It's interesting because it's located in Koreatown. But this little Peruvian restaurant packs a bunch. I enjoyed it a lot. It's like classic Peruvian comfort food. If you guys haven't tried their ceviche mixto, it is a must try. It's probably the best Peruvian ceviche I'd had in LA. Nice fresh raw fish, and the sourness to the juice was just about right. Their chaufa pollo, or chicken fried rice, was also another knockout. It's safe to say that this is the best fried rice I've had outside of any Asian restaurant. Haha. Their lomo saltado was also pretty solid. Great sauce, fries, and steak. In all, I would highly recommend Rikas if you are in town. It is one of the best Peruvian restaurants in the area. You'll feel so great after eating the food here. The chef Jose is also a hospitable man. Look out for him if you come here. I shot a Youtube video of my experience at Rikas, which you can find on my Youtube channel Rockstar Eater.“

“Rico sabor peruano delicioso“

“excelente comida y buena atención“

“Always great..half or whole chicken.Good peruivan food.“

“Todo Rico limpio comida fresca y buena música“

“Stopped in for a late lunch recently and enjoyed their buffet of Peruvian delights. We have no experience with Peruvian cooking, so cannot comment on authenticity. But the food was good. Enjoyed trying different chicken dishes, beef dishes, seafood, as well as many different side dishes. The staff were working hard to keep the buffet full, replenishing often. They did a nice job. For people like us, it would have been nice to have more labels for the different dishes so we could have learned the names of the many dishes. The restaurant was clean, food was good, and they worked hard to service everyone & the buffet. Will definitely want to go back again.“

“Atmosphere & service were great. Food was amazing. The Chicha & the passionfruit drinks are delicious. It has been years since I've been here because I moved 25 - 30 mins away. But this place is still as good as I remembered. Friendly staff.“

“excelente servicio al cliente comida rica y muy buen precio“

“This is one of my go-to places for lomo saltado and pollo a la brasa. The portions are big, and the seasoning is just right. The staff is always welcoming, and the place has a cozy, family-owned vibe. Prices are fair for the amount of food you get. Their green sauce is addictive — I ask for extra every time.“

“Omg they have Peruvian food so u get delicious aji sauce with their hot sauces.

Pupusas are 10/10. Fresh hot and crunchy on outside served with flavorful sauce and cooling it down with the pickled slaw. Sorry scarfed this down so no photos of it haha.

Menudo also 10/10. Lots of squishy tripe goodness and broth was flavorful. Served with fresh handmade tortillas.

I want to come back to try their breakfast and maybe grab some fresh warm conchas after next door. I recommend this place! They have several types of hot sweet warm drinks too like atol de elote, atole de platano, atol de aba, arroz con leche. Yummmyy“

“A Peruvian gem tucked away in a strip mall absolutely delivers.

Perfectly seasoned lomo saltado with tender beef, fries soaking up that savory sauce, and fluffy rice on the side. Bright, fresh ají verde that actually has depth, not just heat and would be good on just about anything. Finished it off with plantains and a creamy Peruvian dessert that hit exactly right.

Delicious food. Bold flavors. Attentive and friendly staff.

This is the kind of place you remember and come back to.“

“Enjoy this place very much.“

“I’ve been eating at this place before 1987. I used to take my children here for dinner or lunch on Saturdays. My children are grown and are raising their families now. I am in my Senior years now and moved from that area. However, I still go over there to eat on Saturdays every now and then. One thing I can share with you, is the recipe has never changed. 😎😎“

“The food is good, the service not so much is terrible to be precise I tried ordering on the phone, I was told to wait whoever answered the phone just put the phone down I can hear them talk in the background and she was arguing with one of the customers who wanted to make a change in his order that he had not paid for yet, she claimed that she had already posted his order and could not make any changes, as this maybe understandable her demeanor was so unprofessional she was being rude, to end it here my order over the phone was never taken after waiting for 5 mim they simply hanged up, this isn’t the first time that this has happened to me. Even if you order online when you go to pick up your order they’ll ignore.“
