Peruvian Restaurants near Paramount, CA

“Amazing service we love it“

“Decided to try this restaurant and there were pros and cons with my food choices. 1) Pollo a la braza was amazingly seasoned and delicious, would come come back for it 2) Salad was a good sized plate, would order again 3) plantains were not good, they were green; tasted horrible 4) the Picarones were okay, but it was my 1st time eating them. I wouldn’t definitely not order them again.“

“MEAT WAS COOKED TO PERFECTION .“

“Hands down the best Peruvian food I’ve had so far. The flavors hit different — everything tastes fresh, homemade, and seasoned perfectly. Don’t let the area fool you; it might look a little rough around the edges, but this place is a total hidden gem. Super friendly service, generous portions, and real authentic Peruvian flavor.

Also gotta give a shout-out to Primo Mexican Food right next door — they hold it down too. But when it comes to Peruvian food, Carlita’s is the real deal 🔥“

“This was my first impression of Peruvian food and it was delicious 😋 I recommend, they have a happy hour where drinks and empanadas are cheaper. I got the cheese and spinach empanada and my sister got the chicken and potatoes one, they were both yummy with the aji sauce but I prefer the chicken and potatoes one. For main dish we got arroz chaufa de pollo(chicken) and tofu with tallerines and both were seasoned to perfection.“

“One of the best restaurants in Long Beach for Peruvian, style, seafood, ceviche, and Sushi. Family owned and operated with a friendly vibe and amazing service.“

“I’ve passed by this spot numerous times and thought I’d check it out with my coworker.

The corn nut starter is delicious and addictively good. I ordered their jalea de Mariscos and bandeja paisa. The fried seafood was excellent and with the tartar sauce it was great.

The bandeja was also very delicious with lots of protein and the pork was crispy deliciousness. Overall it was an excellent lunch!

Great interior decor for a lively feel and great customer service. I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items.“

“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 “

“I've been coming to Nam Kitchen ever since they opened over a year ago, and it’s easily become one of my favorite spots. It’s the perfect place to celebrate birthdays, hang out with friends, or enjoy a nice date night. The interior has a modern yet elegant vibe—definitely a bit more upscale than your typical Vietnamese restaurant—but the quality and portion sizes absolutely live up to it.

Nam Kitchen is a creative fusion of Vietnamese and Peruvian cuisine, and it really works!

What we ordered:

Ribeye Garlic Noodles – 8/10 ($30)
The price may look a little steep but the portions are large, and they don’t skimp on the steak. It was a LOT of steak! I asked for medium-rare, but it came out slightly more cooked than I prefer. Still, the chimichurri added a great kick and paired beautifully with the steak—it was super flavorful overall.

House Chicken Wings – 10/10 ($15)
We got seven pieces, and even after sitting for about 30 minutes while we filmed, the wings were still crispy, flavorful, and delicious. You can really taste the fish sauce—it adds that perfect umami touch.

Pho Short Rib – 10/10 ($17)
The broth is rich, aromatic, and bursting with flavor — you can really taste the fish sauce, lime, and all the fragrant spices. A huge bonus: they offer unlimited noodle refills, just like SUP Noodle Bar! The short rib was delicious, though I’ve had slightly more tender versions elsewhere — but the unlimited noodles more than make up for that. You could easily share this dish with another person, making it a great value!

Crispy Rolls - 8/10 ($9)
I like how they cut the egg rolls in half for easy sharing and serve them with fresh lettuce and carrots for wrapping. The presentation is beautiful and definitely photo-worthy. They also include fish sauce for dipping, which ties all the flavors together perfectly. I loved the crispiness of the egg rolls and the flavorful filling inside — such a satisfying bite!

Pink Petal Drink - 9/10 ($6)
I really enjoyed this drink made with strawberry purée and coconut milk — it’s super refreshing and beautifully presented with a flower garnish. It’s definitely an Instagram-worthy drink! The flavor leans on the sweeter side, so I’d recommend asking for it less sweet, or you can add a bit of water to balance it out (and make it last longer!).

Taro Coffee - 6/10 ($6)
We ordered this drink mainly for its aesthetic appeal, but since neither of us are big coffee drinkers, our rating might be a little biased. The Vietnamese coffee is quite strong and not too sweet, which true coffee lovers will likely appreciate. If you enjoy bold, robust coffee flavors, this one’s definitely worth trying!

Overall Score 9.5/10
Prices are a bit on the higher side, but the food absolutely makes it worth it. The staff are kind and friendly, though they can get quite busy at times. Parking can be a little tricky since the restaurant is located in a plaza near an apartment complex, and it tends to get crowded — even at 6 p.m. on a Saturday, the place was buzzing. I’m really happy to see how well they’re doing, and we were so grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with them!“

“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.“

“Buena comida y mucha variedad...servicio al cliente es excelente...lo recomiendo y les doy 5 estrellas...“

“Good Ambience and food just fine“

“We found this hidden gem and was blown away by the delicious flavors and options. We love Peruvian food and decided to try a new spot. Guess we lucked out! We ordered Tallarin a la huancaina con Lomo Salvador, chupe de pescado, chaufa de Pollo, Yuca frita, and vaso de maracuya“

“I have tallarín saltado very tasty, Maracuya and dessert 🍨 good, I will come back“

“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“

“✨ Five Stars! A Lomo Saltado to Remember

I had the most incredible dining experience at this Peruvian gem! The Lomo Saltado was absolutely out of this world perfectly seasoned, tender strips of beef, bursting with flavor, and served with just the right balance of crispy fries and fluffy rice. Every bite was a celebration of Peruvian tradition.

The service was just as impressive warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. You can tell the team here takes pride in both their food and their hospitality. From start to finish, everything was flawless. I’ll definitely be back this place is a treasure! 🇵🇪💛 shoutout to Guillermo and Laura !“

“One of the best restaurants in Long Beach for Peruvian, style, seafood, ceviche, and Sushi. Family owned and operated with a friendly vibe and amazing service.“

“Recomiendo el platillo de lomo saltado 😋“

“We had the hots for broiled chicken and it was very good, it wasn't dry, it didn't feel like the chicken had been sitting in shelf waiting for a customer to ask for chicken to have your chicken to be quickly served, the seasoning was very light while at the same time it was juicy, the one full chicken was served on a big plate served with French fries, a lettuce salad for $46 (maybe the two sparkling waters elevated the total price this high) the price itself is a downer for us not to go back. It was good, yet not a to die for finger licking type of full flavor chicken for that price.

The atmosphere was the best, we happened to arrive at a karaoke time, and since I lived in the Karaoke Capital of the world, which is Japan, I can tell you that this place is a gem when it comes to Karaoke for Spanish-speaking mature people that enjoy the 70's probably stretching all the way to the 90's romantic broken heart ballads and songs that have to do with, so if this is what you are into, you won't be disappointed, they have the best sound system and everyone was enjoying the good talented amateur singers.

They have good parking, the restrooms are clean, the staff was very cordial, amicable and with very good positive attitude, if you come to eat during Karaoke hours expect a very loud music that feels nice if the music described above is the type of music that stimulates tu corazoncito o lo que aún le queda de corazón destrozado, a mí, me encantó, quizá deba ser que mi corazón parece parrilla de asador de esos que se utilizan para asar a las brasas.“

“Toda la comida es una delicia la atencion muy buena recomendado“

“fast and friendly service with a smile, food is delicious and a lot of food for the price I paid it was a wonderful experience“

“Very good place internally, decent atmosphere and good presence and good food, only 2 suggestions
The little snack that accompanies the ceviche should not charge them, they charged me 12 dollars because without knowing I ordered twice but minimum details in general recommendable“

“Buren ambiente buena comida musica en vivo“

“Though a small joint, it's food is my son's favorite. Order chaufa and save $$ as you can easily share it with someone. It a large portion of chicken and rice! The pollo a la brasa is tasty and a favorite of mine. Three stars for this place needs a bigger venue to fill more people! But it sales good food!“
