“Delicioso! Delicious! 🤤 Sabor a Perú was amazing! My family and I were doing an errand in the Covina area and I decided to Google some Peruvian food options and came across Sabor a Peru. It was an excellent choice. The food is just sooooo good! Delicious made from scratch & the portions are generous. The pricing is also what I consider good. Every single dish we order was amazing but I’m in absolute love with the Tallarin Verde de Pollo & the Lucuma Ice Cream. But again everything was amazing. Thank you Sabor a Perú.“

“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.“

“Great food , great service
The peruvian inspired ceviche was perfectly balanced, bursting with flavor, and the Lomo saltado is steak and French fries was melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Our server, was highly knowledgeable and attentive. Place is completely worth the diverse fusion of indigenous Incan traditions with Spanish, Chinese, and African influences, famous for ingredients like fresh seafood, potatoes, and chili peppers.

“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!“

“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!“

“Very good place to get your Peruvian food fix. The menu is pretty diverse. We got the classic lomo saltado and tried the ceviche de pescado. They first gave us bread that was garlic bread surprisingly with the aji sauce. It was delicious and spicy and garlicky. The ceviche de pescado was excellent. It had that tangy citrus orange marinade with lime and with the nuts and corn nuts. The white fish was soft and cooked thoroughly and delicious. The lomo came out in huge portions that surprised me (basically two meals). The sauce and fries went well together with the onions rice and tomatoes. The meat was decent and it all went together well.
The table came in a lazy Susan style for family style sharing which is convenient. The waiter was very nice but not very attentive as we had to ask for water and check & boxes by intentionally getting their attention and walking to them for assistance. The decor is very chill and homely with a variety of music in the background. The whole place is very red and decorated with various Peruvian cultural references.
Prices are fairly reasonable for the portions you get.“
