Just got back from Peru and we are looking for a good place to re live our experience. Unfortunately we can not find something that matches the flavors and quality. However this was OK. Probably one of the good ones in Los Angeles.
This Peruvian spot is low-key and full of locals. The lomo saltado arrives sizzling, and the fries stay crispy under the sauce. I love the aji verde—spicy but not punishing. Ceviche is generous with fish and sweet potato. Plenty of parking in the lot, and service keeps water topped off without hovering
We stopped by El Rocoto before heading to the Summer Nights 2025 Brandon Lake & Phil Wickham concert, and wow—what a perfect start to the evening!

The Peruvian cuisine here is absolutely delicious—each dish was bursting with flavor, cooked to perfection, and served with heart. From the fresh ceviche to the savory lomo saltado, every bite felt like a little celebration.

Service was friendly, the vibe was welcoming, and it set the tone...
