Peruvian Restaurants near Downey, CA

“Toyitos is a jewel in the city of Downey. Best Rotisserie Chicken around. I love Chicken with fries and Salchipapas( sliced hotdogs and fries). The chicken has special peruvian flavor and peruvian sauces. Don’t forget the ice cream Lucuma flavor, and the peruvian soda Inka “

“What a wonderful lunch experience!

Today my beautiful wife and I decided to try Fernando’s Peruvian Restaurant in Downey, and we are so glad we did.

We started with the Ceviche Mixto, and it was absolutely amazing. The seafood was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The combination of fish, shrimp, calamari, red onions, Peruvian corn, sweet potato, and leche de tigre created an explosion of flavor in every bite. It was refreshing, authentic, and simply unforgettable.

For our entrées, we enjoyed the Lomo Saltado and the Pollo Saltado. Both dishes were cooked perfectly. The meat and chicken were incredibly juicy, tender, and full of flavor. Every ingredient tasted fresh, and the portions were generous.

The ají had the perfect kick. If you enjoy a little spice, I highly recommend trying it. It elevated the meal even more.

What made the experience even better was the warm and welcoming atmosphere. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and full of Peruvian charm. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in.

The lunch prices are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the portion sizes. It’s becoming harder and harder to find restaurants that offer this level of flavor, service, and value all in one place.

My wife and I left happy, full, and already talking about what we want to order the next time we visit.

If you are looking for authentic Peruvian food in Downey, whether it’s Ceviche Mixto, Lomo Saltado, Pollo Saltado, fresh seafood, or traditional Peruvian cuisine, Fernando’s is definitely worth the visit.

Thank you to the entire team for the excellent food, outstanding hospitality, and memorable experience. We look forward to returning soon and bringing family and friends with us.

Support local businesses that pour their heart into what they do. Fernando’s is one of them.

Highly recommended.“

“Amazing hidden mom & pop gem in Downey!
First time having Peruvian food and it did not disappoint! Cute, clean atmosphere - the owner was nice enough to chat with us and introduce us to some menu items.

Highly recommend the Ceviche Mixto to start, and the Lomo Saltado to share all around. We also got the Tallarín Verde con Pechuga which was a cleaner dish. I recommend the Maracuya (passion fruit) drink.

For dessert, I loved the Lucuma fruit based ice cream which kinda had a light but sweet maple-butterscotch flavor.

Would come back again!“

“Toda la comida es una delicia la atencion muy buena recomendado“

“I’ve been coming here since I can remember. At least 10 years by now. Their food is always consistent and delicious and priced well. My family’s order is a full chicken, fries, and arroz chauffa. The chicken is always tender and juicy and has great flavor, but my favorite is the arroz con chauffa. I think it’s genuinely my favorite food ever. period. I could eat it every day and not get tired of it 11/10. Now, we usually order take out because the inside is kind of small and we like to share with our friends and family (who also love it) so keep that in mind if you’re thinking of eating inside. I would recommend this place to everyone, as there’s something for everyone on the menu!“

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

“Amazing service we love it“

“One of the best restaurants in Long Beach for Peruvian, style, seafood, ceviche, and Sushi. Family owned and operated with a friendly vibe and amazing service.“

“Very good restaurant to eat at when you’re craving something different and delicious. Some of the vegetables and herbs are grown right in the backyard. Dessert pie homemade and delicious. This was the first restaurant I ate at which served us a Soursop juice drink. My first visit here but definitely not the last.“

“Buena comida y mucha variedad...servicio al cliente es excelente...lo recomiendo y les doy 5 estrellas...“

“I was craving for lomo saltado, and was searching for a place in the area. I found this place with great reviews, decided to come by. It is located on Garvey Ave in the same plaza of a grocery store. Parking was easy.

The decoration gave me a little Asian vibes to it. The owner is a very kind man. He is very friendly and welcoming. He offered all the customers with free drinks or soda. He speaks English, Spanish, Cantonese, and mandarin. I am amazed by that. Salute.

We ordered 2 lomo saltado, and it is the best lomo saltado I have had so far. He uses beef slices instead of steak chunk. However, no where I have been can beat the taste of it. The beef was tender and juice, and the fries were crispy!

I will come back to support small business again!“

“We stumbled on this place before a Dodger game. Super yummy food with reasonable prices. A little hole in the wall but well worth the effort to park (we parked on the street where there is electric car charging. It wasn’t working so we scored a spot)
Have Lomo Saltado!“

“I love Pollo Inka it is so good I think that everyone should try it. I love the lomo saltado and my family's favorite the whole rotisserie chicken meal with two sides and soup. The restaurant itself inside is small enough to accommodate only a few customers“
