My car managed to overheat just outside their place. I’m grateful to them for generously providing a couple of gallons of water, which was a thoughtful touch.
This turned out to be an unexpected yet delightful discovery. Despite the heavy rain, the genuine warmth and hospitality of the place stood out immediately.
The food was excellent—far better than I’d expect from a spontaneous stop like this. I don’t usually make random pit stops for meals, but this is one I’d gladly recommend to anyone visiting the city.

The tacos and seafood soup were both great — super fresh ingredients, friendly service, and very reasonable prices.

Absolutely amazing, some of the best food ive ever had. The environment was very fun the outside seating with the music and people walking by added to the experience. The owner was out showing us how to eat the meals and telling us the history of the restaurant. it was very refreshing with how nice everyone was. will be coming back.

Mex Peru Gipsy is more than a restaurant—it’s a true culinary journey. From the first bite, the flavors transport you, blending the richness of Mexican tradition with the boldness of Peruvian cuisine in a way that feels both authentic and exciting. What makes the experience truly exceptional is Juan, the owner. His warmth, attention to detail, and passion for sharing his culture turn a simple meal into something unforgettable. You don’t just eat here—you feel welcomed, celebrated, and cared for. A rare gem that leaves you wanting to return again and again.
Nothing like sitting outside in DTLA having a Peruvian dish of your choice and this place makes its happen clean place the best food Mexican and Peruvian the ceviche was great and the Saltados have won them the award for best in L.A. It is a must try.

Just got off work in the area, and we were looking for food places. We found this place with good reviews, and we decided to come by. We parked in a parking lot closed by, and walked over. This is a small restaurant that has a few stools (bar style) inside the restaurant, and they also have a few table set up outside of the restaurant. They play wonderful music, and we were able to listen to it outside of the restaurant. We ordered lomo saltado. Our server gave us a jar of green salsa and a jar of red pepper chill oil. We were told that the meat was filet mignon. The meat was very tender and was not chewy at all! Flavor was amazing and was not too salty! We were also introduced a Peruvian ice-cream. The texture of the ice-cream is very light and creamy, and it was not too sweet! It has a very fruity flavor. We had a great experience here and will come back again.

Five star cuisine, stellar Lomo Saltado and Ceviche>> spot on perfect, with quality level to match and beat any Peruvian in the city in a humble simple location that belies the incredibly tasty experience. Go in, don’t let the appearance deceive you, you’ll be ecstatic. . SIX STAR SERVICE> everyone from the owner, to the busser to the cook was warm, friendly and super hospitable. This is what set the place above and beyond. WE WILL BE BACK!

This place was recommended to me and I’m glad I came. It’s very cozy and feels like you are at someone’s home. I got the Lomo Saltado which was steak with fries and rice and it was very flavorful and tender. Definitely will be back!
