Walking Santee Alleys makes you hungry and Mex Peru Gipsy is EXCELLENT, 5 star for food and service. My family ordered a little bit of everything - the gotta has a chipotle sauce which brings together the flavors perfectly. The menudo was authentic and they bring out all the condiments. The lomo saltado and tallarín was perfect. The serve is fast and friendly as if you're eating with family. Everyone here takes great pride in what they serve. Worth driving to even if you're not shopping the alleys.

Amazing lomos saltado. The best. The flavors, the steak. Just a whole lot of yum. It feels authentic, the staff friendly. It's quick. One of my fav lunch spots

This place was an awesome hole in the wall located in the heart of DTLA. Really had the mom and pop feel to it. This is what we ordered: Lomo Saltado - Cooked perfectly, the steak was very juicy and the fries were crispy! Ceviche- Pretty good ceviche, the fish was fresh and overall not too salty. Street Tacos = These were just ok nothing special. And don't forget the Inka Cola! Will definitely come back again!

Let me start off by advising not to be fooled with the outward appearance. This place is a true gem! My family and I happened to park in the parking garage right next to the restaurant and decided to check it out. My husband is Peruvian and I am Mexican so we were a little skeptical at first. It's hard to find a fusion cuisine that makes both types of cuisine taste truly authentic. But let me tell you that the food was absolutely delicious! My husband ordered the Jalea and I ordered steak tacos. The jalea was amazing and the tacos were so tender and flavorful that I had to order a few more! I added the aji verde on my tacos and it truly just made it that much better! My son also loved the tacos and the chicha. The service was impeccable. They were all extremely attentive and friendly. The owner also came out to greet us and we were so impressed with the overall experience that we're already making plans to go back!

Juan, the owner is extremely welcoming and has great customer service. There are plenty of tasteful meals for you to order. I recommend their famous Lomo Saltado the environment is very welcoming surrounded with plenty of stores and parking.

Amazing and unexpected find! We were at a gallery opening and accidentally parked across the street from this joint. Best accident ever! If you're downtown and looking for a quick nosh, pop in.

Mex Peru Gipsy is a little slice of Peru in LA. We enjoyed the Papa la huancaina and lomo saltodo with chi cha morado and would recommend it all. The delightfully creamy sauce of the papa la huancaina was unforgettable and was rivaled only by the tender and flavorful meat of the lomo saltodo. The excellent dishes were complimented by the warm and attentive service provided by the chef and owner. I can't wait to come again!

As a Peruvian, 100% recommend!!! My wife (Mexican) 100% recommends! Let me say that there is a reason why this place is highly recommended. For it being Peruvian/Mexican, the food was Amazing. Ambience was great! They had salsa playing in side. Also met the honor who is a super cool guy! Service was amazing, server was great and attentive. Even the chefs! Me (Peruvian): got a jalea which was delicious and fresh! 10/10 recommend! My wife (Mexican) got tacos and she was absolutely in love (especially after adding the Peruvian green salsa onto them) We got chicha which was super good and fresh, my wife got horchata which she loved. All in all, 1,000% recommend!!!
Oh my god! Came here today for lunch with my buddies and the food was absolutely amazing! First time here but not the last time. Juan is such an amazing owner. He is so friendly and just full of stories. The food was absolutely fresh. I had the fish tacos which were fried but were very light and not heavy at all. And the show stopper the ceviche is worth driving an hour for just to order. It was so fresh and fragrant. If I could give 10/10 stars I would but I will just say the spot was 10/10. We sat out front of the restaurant and just people watched and enjoyed great food. The green sauce and the chili sauce. They need to bottle it up and SELL that. Will definitely be coming back

We ordered the ceviche mixto and lomo saltado and both were absolutely amazing. The ceviche tasted so fresh. The owner, Juan, was so nice and welcoming. We loved hearing his stories. He even helped us to park in the front of the restaurant. The service and food was top notch! We will be back!

Food is 5 stars, a little oily for lomo saltado but it was very tasty and tender. Tiny seating bar area and it does look run down, but it does have a A rating. I think $20 for lomo saltado is a bit expensive for this sketchy area and it wasn't a huge plate but good size. Friendly staff too with good service .
