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

“Wonderful service~ food comes out quickly and is a great place to go on your work break. I got the burrito de pollo today~ but I am also a huge fan of a 1/4 chicken with two small sides of yucca fries~ all three dipping sauces are delicious!“

“Amazing service we love it“

“Delicious, Peruvian (latino), home-made food to enjoy with family and friends. Definitely the Jalea mixta is just right for a big appetite! Nice and cozy environment. Will definitely come back again. ❤️

I came back and loved it all over again! 💕“

“Hidden Gem in Pasadena! Very Yum!“

“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“

“Carlita’s Antojitos offers authentic Mexican street food with vibrant flavors and fresh ingredients. Their signature tacos, quesadillas, and salsas are flavorful and satisfying. The casual and colorful atmosphere makes it a great spot for a quick bite or a relaxed meal with friends. The friendly staff and lively vibe add to the dining experience.“

“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 “

“Love the food. Great quality and friendly service“

“Muy rica la comida!! Muy buena atención y buen ambiente“

“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 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!“

“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.“

“Muy rica la comida!! Muy buena atención y buen ambiente“

“Delicious food, nice staff“

“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.“

“Decided to try this restaurant and there were pros and cons with my food choices. 1) Pollo a la braza was amazingly seasoned and delicious, would come come back for it 2) Salad was a good sized plate, would order again 3) plantains were not good, they were green; tasted horrible 4) the Picarones were okay, but it was my 1st time eating them. I wouldn’t definitely not order them again.“

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

“Rico sabor peruano delicioso“

“Unbelievable food—we had the aji de gallina, ceviche pesdado, and pescado a la parrilla and truthfully may have been the best I’ve ever had.

Quaint and comfortable atmosphere plus the service was super attentive and the food came out hot and quick, definitely coming back!“

“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.“

“Pollo a la Braza, Lomo Saltado, Ceviche y la Jalea de pescado son mis favoritos!!! Somos clientes desde hace cerca de 30 años, desde el primer día que abrieron.“

“Absolutely the best new restaurant inLos Angeles. Wonderful staff. Gorgeous facility indoors and patio. Exquisite and unique delicious food.“

“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!“

“Todo Rico limpio comida fresca y buena música“

“We found this hidden gem and was blown away by the delicious flavors and options. We love Peruvian food and decided to try a new spot. Guess we lucked out! We ordered Tallarin a la huancaina con Lomo Salvador, chupe de pescado, chaufa de Pollo, Yuca frita, and vaso de maracuya“

“AMAZING!! THE BEST PLACE IN SOUTH EL MONTE!! TRY THE LOMO SALTADO ANDA THE TIKI FRIES“

“We had the hots for broiled chicken and it was very good, it wasn't dry, it didn't feel like the chicken had been sitting in shelf waiting for a customer to ask for chicken to have your chicken to be quickly served, the seasoning was very light while at the same time it was juicy, the one full chicken was served on a big plate served with French fries, a lettuce salad for $46 (maybe the two sparkling waters elevated the total price this high) the price itself is a downer for us not to go back. It was good, yet not a to die for finger licking type of full flavor chicken for that price.

The atmosphere was the best, we happened to arrive at a karaoke time, and since I lived in the Karaoke Capital of the world, which is Japan, I can tell you that this place is a gem when it comes to Karaoke for Spanish-speaking mature people that enjoy the 70's probably stretching all the way to the 90's romantic broken heart ballads and songs that have to do with, so if this is what you are into, you won't be disappointed, they have the best sound system and everyone was enjoying the good talented amateur singers.

They have good parking, the restrooms are clean, the staff was very cordial, amicable and with very good positive attitude, if you come to eat during Karaoke hours expect a very loud music that feels nice if the music described above is the type of music that stimulates tu corazoncito o lo que aún le queda de corazón destrozado, a mí, me encantó, quizá deba ser que mi corazón parece parrilla de asador de esos que se utilizan para asar a las brasas.“

“Recomiendo el platillo de lomo saltado 😋“

“Very good place internally, decent atmosphere and good presence and good food, only 2 suggestions
The little snack that accompanies the ceviche should not charge them, they charged me 12 dollars because without knowing I ordered twice but minimum details in general recommendable“

“Buenazo como siempre !!!!“

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

“This is my favorite and the best Peruvian restaurant ever!! Me and my family have been coming here for 17yrs and we love it! The food is so delicious and you can tell he makes it with so much love! Everything tastes fresh and the owner is the cook and the server he’s so nice and attentive and cooks amazing! I will continue to recommend this place to my friends and family. The anticicho is the best and the rachi con papa is to die for!“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

“buena atencion y excelente comida Peruana, le gustaron a mis amigas Mexicana y Puertoriquena“

“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. 😎😎“

“You have to try their cebiche it’s one of the best I’ve tried so far. Highly recommended“

“Enjoy this place very much.“
