“just found out about this restaurant today! funnily enough, as i was picking up an order from here to drop off elsewhere, i thought it smelled absolutely delicious in there! i decided to come back after my food delivery run to have dinner and i was VERY happy with that choice!! the prices are a little higher than im used to but WORTH EVERY PENNY! the portions are huge, the food is delicious and flavorful, and the man who was providing the service was absolutely wonderful. i'm definitely coming back again next time i get paid, it was my first time trying peruvian food and i loved every minute of it!! highly recommend!!“

“Amazing authentic peruvian food!!! We tried their ceviche at the Peruvian Festival in Plazita Olvera this year and had to come try more dishes. Aguadito soup is DELICIOUS!!! Tallarines Verdes with steak was EXTRAORDINARY!!! Definitely will be coming back!“

“Some of the best, mouth watering rotisserie chicken i have ever had. Always gotta get it with fries, beans and rice! No other ways about it. You want some authentic Peruvian Pollo a la Brasa? Toyitos in downey is exactly what you're looking for. They also got excellent alfajores and 2 liter Inca Cola. If you're looking for a good family meal place and you want some delicious chicken, give this place top priority. Before you ask, yes they give you just dark meat if you ask...I'm pretty sure it's a bit extra though. Anyways Toyitos is fuego. 9.5/10
Only took a point 5 off because whenever I finish I ALWAYS WANT MORE and that's not good for my wallet...or my health lol“

“First of all this restaurant deserves its flowers and praises. Their rotisserie chicken is so good and tasty didn’t leave anything behind, I almost ate the bone 🤤 I’ve have Peruvian food all of the world but this right HERE is the best chicken I’ve ever aren’t in the states, it’s seasoned to perfection and it’s crispy not greasy nor oily. It melts in your mouth pretty much“

“Muy rica la comida!! Muy buena atención y buen ambiente“

“Very good place to get your Peruvian food fix. The menu is pretty diverse. We got the classic lomo saltado and tried the ceviche de pescado. They first gave us bread that was garlic bread surprisingly with the aji sauce. It was delicious and spicy and garlicky. The ceviche de pescado was excellent. It had that tangy citrus orange marinade with lime and with the nuts and corn nuts. The white fish was soft and cooked thoroughly and delicious. The lomo came out in huge portions that surprised me (basically two meals). The sauce and fries went well together with the onions rice and tomatoes. The meat was decent and it all went together well.

The table came in a lazy Susan style for family style sharing which is convenient. The waiter was very nice but not very attentive as we had to ask for water and check & boxes by intentionally getting their attention and walking to them for assistance. The decor is very chill and homely with a variety of music in the background. The whole place is very red and decorated with various Peruvian cultural references.

Prices are fairly reasonable for the portions you get.“

“Yummy lomo saltado and ceviche!“

“Good Ambience and food just fine“

“Delicious food, nice staff“

“Lomo Fuego exceeded all expectations! The food was absolutely incredible—authentic Peruvian flavors, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. The lomo saltado was tender and packed with flavor, and every dish we tried was fresh and delicious. The service was friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. If you’re looking for amazing Peruvian cuisine, this place is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐“

“Got the lomo saltado and tallarin Verde. Tallarin was ok but the lomo was good. I give it a 7/10, the food was hot and fresh. This is a very small spot, so u might have to take it to go. The lady that served us was very nice and polite, loved the service.“

“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.“

“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.“

“atención A1 las comidas deliciosa/ exquisito lo mejor de la comidas peruana en california te amo perú 🇵🇪“

“The food and the fresh flavor waters and the different salsas are just as good as if you were in Mexico.... Simply amazing!!!. Even if you see a lot of people wanting outside the service is fast and most of the waiters are really nice... Very well trained.“

“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.“

“Rico sabor peruano delicioso“

“The spot is a hidden gem!! Highly recommend to stop by and give it a try. Authentic Peruvian food, great quality and taste. This is my third time coming back, and it never let me down. I fell in love with their Lomo Saltado and calamari. Amazing customer service that tops it all off“

“Rikas Peruvian restaurant is like the 5th or 6th Peruvian restaurant I've been to in LA. It's interesting because it's located in Koreatown. But this little Peruvian restaurant packs a bunch. I enjoyed it a lot. It's like classic Peruvian comfort food. If you guys haven't tried their ceviche mixto, it is a must try. It's probably the best Peruvian ceviche I'd had in LA. Nice fresh raw fish, and the sourness to the juice was just about right. Their chaufa pollo, or chicken fried rice, was also another knockout. It's safe to say that this is the best fried rice I've had outside of any Asian restaurant. Haha. Their lomo saltado was also pretty solid. Great sauce, fries, and steak. In all, I would highly recommend Rikas if you are in town. It is one of the best Peruvian restaurants in the area. You'll feel so great after eating the food here. The chef Jose is also a hospitable man. Look out for him if you come here. I shot a Youtube video of my experience at Rikas, which you can find on my Youtube channel Rockstar Eater.“

“Yummy. Great Peruvian food. Service ok at best. Food fantastic!
Hope it survives this economy. No other business on that street has.
Go support!!!
Paid about 72 bucks, 2 meals, 1 appetizer, 1 diet coke and fried 🍌 Bananas“

“Phenomenal food. Outstanding employees with great customer service. Their cilantro rice is the most amazing rice ever. My top three for sure !!! Please give it a try and add it to your meal!! Their chicken is so good and has never been over cooked the countless amount of times I’ve picked up my food to go. I haven’t had the pleasure of dining in yet but hope to be able too soon! Their beans are also really great! Alone or added to your chicken and rice ! The soup that they always give is SO filling with rice and chicken in it. The flavor is really there every time I get my meals! 10/10 highly recommend!“

“Todo Rico limpio comida fresca y buena música“

“I stopped by El Cielo in Gardena and had a great experience. I got the enchiladas plate, with chicken inside with a side of rice and beans, and everything was flavorful and satisfying. It’s a solid spot for a delicious, no-fuss meal if you’re in the area! Definitely check it out. Awesome hole in the wall.“

“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“

“Master tempura style cooking, light, airy, though fried the fresh taste of ingredients are still intact. Wait was not longer than 10 mins. Their new sushi, tempura box set meal, melt in your mouth , fresh ingredients, truly worth the trip and dining in for… must try“

“Recomiendo el platillo de lomo saltado 😋“

“Amazing hidden mom & pop gem in Downey!
First time having Peruvian food and it did not disappoint! Cute, clean atmosphere - the owner was nice enough to chat with us and introduce us to some menu items.

Highly recommend the Ceviche Mixto to start, and the Lomo Saltado to share all around. We also got the Tallarín Verde con Pechuga which was a cleaner dish. I recommend the Maracuya (passion fruit) drink.

For dessert, I loved the Lucuma fruit based ice cream which kinda had a light but sweet maple-butterscotch flavor.

Would come back again!“

“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“

“Good Ambience and food just fine“

“excelente servicio al cliente comida rica y muy buen precio“

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

“This is my favorite and the best Peruvian restaurant ever!! Me and my family have been coming here for 17yrs and we love it! The food is so delicious and you can tell he makes it with so much love! Everything tastes fresh and the owner is the cook and the server he’s so nice and attentive and cooks amazing! I will continue to recommend this place to my friends and family. The anticicho is the best and the rachi con papa is to die for!“

“You have to try their cebiche it’s one of the best I’ve tried so far. Highly recommended“

“I’ve been eating at this place before 1987. I used to take my children here for dinner or lunch on Saturdays. My children are grown and are raising their families now. I am in my Senior years now and moved from that area. However, I still go over there to eat on Saturdays every now and then. One thing I can share with you, is the recipe has never changed. 😎😎“

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

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

“I’ve been coming here since I can remember. At least 10 years by now. Their food is always consistent and delicious and priced well. My family’s order is a full chicken, fries, and arroz chauffa. The chicken is always tender and juicy and has great flavor, but my favorite is the arroz con chauffa. I think it’s genuinely my favorite food ever. period. I could eat it every day and not get tired of it 11/10. Now, we usually order take out because the inside is kind of small and we like to share with our friends and family (who also love it) so keep that in mind if you’re thinking of eating inside. I would recommend this place to everyone, as there’s something for everyone on the menu!“

“Enjoy this place very much.“

“Absolutely delicious chicken molè burrito. Highly recommended. I always will ask for the beans and rice to be on the side instead of inside. That’s just me though. Oh but the music was a bit to loud, I could barely hear my buddy for a conversation.“

“muy buena comida ambiente romántico“
