“Been familiar with Chef Celsie for some time. What is so imperative to highlight is the fact that when you have a true fusionist of tasteful delicacies; then you know you are just about to experience culinary heaven in your mouth. That is Chef Celsie, her deep knowledge of so many different kinds of culinary cultures makes her as force to be reckoned in La La Land. So in other words, you truly are in for a real treat!! #simplydelicious“

“Fine dining in a relaxed atmosphere. Tried for the first time with my daughter after her soccer practice. The smells as we waited for our food were enticing. Daughter's first time eating Peruvian. Took one bite and was so glad I suggested we try. Will be back.“

“From the food to the AMAZING customer service, other restaurants should take notes from Merka! Ethel took my order and helped me decide what to order (full order lomo saltado with yellow sauce) and not only did she give an amazing recommendation, but she was so sweet and fun to chat with! Props to the two cooks, Saul & Carlos, they definitely made my order with love.“

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

“Best Peruvian Food ever!!!!“

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

“As a Peruvian that is visiting LA for my first time, I am incredibly grateful that I ran into Rafael walking around Venice beach. He served me some of the best lomo saltado I’ve ever had and he has such a great welcoming spirit. The quality of the meat was superb! Highly recommend to anyone considering.“

“Great food, great prices!“

“awesome good clean place good atmosphere“

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

“Love the food. Great quality and friendly service“

“Mamitas feels just like eating at mom’s house, comforting, flavorful, and made with care. The food tastes homemade and authentic, and the beers are nice and cold. You can tell they put a lot of heart into what they do. Definitely worth supporting this local spot and trying the calamari chicharones 🔥🔥🔥“

“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“

“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.“

“Yummy lomo saltado and ceviche!“

“Delicious food, nice staff“

“Exelente servicio Comida Rica Como en Perú con Su rica Inka Kola . Anticuchos ,salchipapas y delicioso picarones . pensé x un momento k está en Perú .. A comer.....“

“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.“

“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.“

“Todo Rico limpio comida fresca y buena música“

“Rico sabor peruano delicioso“

“I love Peruvian food and when I see a Peruvian restaurant I have to try it. Had the Lomo Saltado and Papa Hua it was very good !!“

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

“I rarely order Lomo Saltado when I go eat Peruvian cuisine because I'm afraid it won't taste good and I had tried many different Lomo Saltados in different locations where I don't see a reason to even try the plate and leave a review. My intuition told me to try it out here at this location and I wasn't one bit disappointed. Best Lomo Saltado I had in Los Angeles. I tried the Ceviche ✅ I tried the Tallarines a la huancaina with a Medium Well Steak delicious 🤤. Amazing Amazing Amazing!“

“Visiting town and wanted something light, was going for pho next door but no Peruvian buffet on east coast so I was obliged to try despite of having zero expectations, especially seeing it was $20 including tax which is cheap in LA for when ala carte. Was totally shocked by how decent the food taste, especially the grilled chicken and beef stew (decent quality of meat and wasn’t dry) and had to go for second round. Ceviche (made with previously frozen fish is still not bad) and have way more choices than I had expected. I’m not Peruvian or Latin so I can’t vouch for authenticity but it’s an amazing value for the choices (see pics) and quality of food provided. I didn’t get soft drinks so can’t comment on services but it’s self serve so I’m fine with it.“

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

“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.“

“I stopped by El Cielo in Gardena and had a great experience. I got the enchiladas plate, with chicken inside with a side of rice and beans, and everything was flavorful and satisfying. It’s a solid spot for a delicious, no-fuss meal if you’re in the area! Definitely check it out. Awesome hole in the wall.“

“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.“
