“Recomiendo el platillo de lomo saltado 😋“

“Please please do yourself a favor and eat here! We had the ceviche Classico & lomo saltado - I’m not even joking that my boyfriend and I had to hug after the meal because it was SO delicious and enjoyable. The flavors were bright and unique. You can tell that these recipes were thoughtful created! Can’t wait to try more on the menu ❤️“

“Amazing service we love it“

“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 🔥“

“Really good Peruvian Food we had the whole chicken 2 of them and 3 Lomo saltados with rice n beans homemade flour tortillas nd all the sauces they had were really good. Delicious grub..“

“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 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.“

“✨ 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 !“

“I had the Pollo Saltado with white rice. The food was very tasty and well cooked. The server was very nice and asked us several times how our food tasted. This is a really small restaurant, but I always enjoy eating here. You have to try this spot!“

“Great food and service. Been going there over 7 years. Get there early. Leía and Lily are awesome. Luis is the sushi master!“

“Found this place after an event nearby. Ordered the Ceviche de Pescado - fresh and delicious, plus the portion was huge. A little pricey, but worth it. Also got the fried plátanos - a simple classic done well. Then an inks cola to drink. The server was doing it all herself, so a little slow, but very kind and good service still. Will be back & recommend.“

“Truly a hidden gem. The chef and his wife go above and beyond to create a welcoming and memorable culinary experience for diners. I recently organized a work team lunch and arrived to the location as it was just opening. We had the establishment to ourselves and the attention and care paid to each dish was superb! The appetizers and main dishes were full of flavor and artistry. My only lament was that they were short on Agua de maracuya or ensalada de fruta to drink. Delicious and definitely going back!

Cash or Zelle only!“

“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“

“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“

“Buenazo como siempre !!!!“

“This place caught my eye as I was driving by because he was standing outside waiting by the street. For me? No, for his friend walking by. Looks like he is pretty generous and always ready to help someone in need.

I walked inside and this place harkens back to yesteryear. It's my first time but I feel like I've been here. . . in a past life. It's very fun in there. It's immersive. He welcomes you at the door as others have said. He recommended a dish and I don't really know which one exactly, but it's super good.

It's steak, tomato, red onion, and French fries on a bed of rice. I gotta admit I was a little apprehensive because of how old and run-down the place looked. But this was so good, I'm definitely coming back. The meat was cooked nicely, seasoned or marinated nicely, the fries looked underdone but they were cooked through and still held together by the time I got home without getting soggy.

FAIR WARNING. When he offers salsa picoso, it's very spicy, like skip mild medium, go straight to spicy-burns-your mouth.

I spent 22 bucks on this plate. So it's not a cheap plate, but it is a fair amount of food for the price. I ate half and I'll save half. Works for me.“

“The food here is absolutely delicious and full of flavor, with every dish cooked perfectly. The environment is warm, inviting, and makes you feel comfortable the moment you walk in. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure you have everything you need without being overbearing. Portions are just right—generous enough to be satisfying, but never overwhelming. Overall, a fantastic experience that leaves you wanting to come back again and again.“

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

“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!“

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