Peruvian Restaurants near Gardena, CA

“Got the lemon June drink and the truffle fried rice to go and both were really delicious. The rice Had pork and sausage in it and came with great side of in house soy sauce on the side as well as utensils and the lemon June drink had peach purée and it was super refreshing, a bit in the pricey side for everything but it was all super good so I’d definitely come back and try more, inside was fairly small but the decor was super nice and service was good and on point so I’d definitely recommend this spot“

“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.“

“Todo Rico limpio comida fresca y buena música“

“Good Ambience and food just fine“

“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“

“Absolutely one of the best food experiences I’ve ever had in Los Angeles! From the first bite to the last, everything was bursting with flavor and clearly made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The dishes were beautifully presented and perfectly balanced, with just the right mix of creativity and authenticity.

The service was just as impressive—friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about the food. You can tell the team really cares about giving guests a memorable experience. The atmosphere was vibrant yet relaxed, making it the perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions.

If you’re in LA and looking for unforgettable food, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“El Huarique Peruvian Kitchen delivers a vibrant and satisfying taste of Peruvian cuisine with bold, well-balanced flavors. The dishes feel hearty and authentic, with a great mix of spices and textures that stand out. I especially enjoyed how fresh everything tastes, from the seafood to the sides. The atmosphere is casual but welcoming, making it easy to relax and enjoy the meal. It’s a great spot for trying something flavorful and a little different.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Stopped in for a late lunch recently and enjoyed their buffet of Peruvian delights. We have no experience with Peruvian cooking, so cannot comment on authenticity. But the food was good. Enjoyed trying different chicken dishes, beef dishes, seafood, as well as many different side dishes. The staff were working hard to keep the buffet full, replenishing often. They did a nice job. For people like us, it would have been nice to have more labels for the different dishes so we could have learned the names of the many dishes. The restaurant was clean, food was good, and they worked hard to service everyone & the buffet. Will definitely want to go back again.“

“Good Service, and really good food, Thank you 🤗“

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

“The food was amazing!! Would definitely visit this establishment again. Fast friendly service!!“

“This place is so good. Nice staff generous portions and delicious food!!“

“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.“
