“It's giving Michelin star... I come here about once a week and the fish never fails! Always fresh and the customer service is amazing. Wendy is my absolute favorite. Only bummer is that they don't open until 5 PM even on the weekends. Reservations recommended!“
“My husband and I had the oxtail pho and oxtail fried rice with grilled ribeye on the side and everything was amazingly very tasty. Definitely coming back to try more on the menu. Service was excellent and staff were very helpful and friendly. Parking isn't a problem. This place definitely is keeper.“
“This place is popular but I was able to show up and get seated without a reservation. It was a 10-20 minute wait on a Friday evening. I thought this place was going to be overhyped but in my opinion, it lived up to the hype! Our server was amazing, he was knowledgeable and had amazing recommendations based on our taste. I ordered the "Saltado" Shaken Fries and it was soo delicious! the meat was tender and the aji sauce was incredible and complemented the food. The ambiance was great and lively, definitely a nice spot to go with friends or a date :)“
“Delicious food! Been looking for an authentic Peruvian place and haven’t had luck until I found this hidden gem!! Everything was so fresh and tasty. Cheviche mixto was amazing and the Anticuchos were so tasty!!! The inside of the restaurant it’s so much nicer than you could imagine from the outside and the service was very good, very nice staff.“
“This is a Peruvian restaurant with passion and execution. It merits a Michelin Bib Gourmand! The food is nothing short of astounding! This is from a New Yorker who has spent time in Peru and loves that cuisine. They have really recreated true Peruvian dishes with just the right mix of spices and really fresh fish and seafood. I could have been dining at a fine restaurant in Cuzco!! The Branzino scallop clam and shrimp mage with jasmine rice and spicy cilantro tomato broth was otherworldly! And the classic ceviche was just that, classic. The Barman was a genius with the Pisco Sour and the wines by the glass were good accompaniments to the food. My hope is that with more people discovering Costa, it may find a somewhat larger spot, and expand the wine by the glass choices. But I haven't had a more authentic and brilliantly prepared Peruvian meal outside the Sacred Valley!! A must go!!“
“Came with friend, a peruana, and we both enjoyed the food. We ordered (for share) papa huancaina, sopa de gallina, arroz con leche and chicha morada for me. All delicious, excellent and attentive service with reasonable price. Will come again and try other items!“
“Came here for the first time and really enjoyed it. I didn't try any of the Peruvian dishes, but we tried the octopus sushi, grilled octopus, tiradito sampler, one of the specialty rolls and everything was nice.The dining area is clean and roomy, and the staff was nice.Definitely coming back again.“
“Best chicken I had in OC!! Hands down best chicken meal! The price is pre covid pricing too. We fed our family of 6 with the whole chicken with salad and steamed veggie sides. We also ordered size of fried rice and pesto spaghetti. We had enough left over for dinner! Also their green sauce is amazing!!! Def. Coming back here!! Also they have happy hour pricing tues.~fri.“
“This is a perfect example of casual, but delicious Peruvian food! I had the pollo a la brasa and my wife had the lomo saltado. We loved both of our dishes! Everything was cooked perfectly. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The green sauce was just the right amount of spicy and herbaceous.Since there aren't a ton of Peruvian places in SoCal, I would say Senor Pollo is definitely worth a small trip to check out. When I'm craving pollo a la brasa this is going to be my spot, even though it's about an hour drive. It's worth it for me.“
“First time trying out this new place ever since I used to work across the street at stater bros. I must say, it was definitely worth the try. The owner here is very welcoming & has such a wonderful positive attitude where you don’t see that in most places nowadays. I tried their beef fried rice, it was so delicious & on top of that, he offered me aside of soup with my meal. Recommend to stop by if you’re in the area.“
“Pollo Loco ain't got nothing on this ! (I still love you pollo loco) but man this place was good ! I came here with the family for my brother's birthday, and we were all skeptical at first. The menu wasn't very large and the prices were definitely on the higher side for this type of restaurant, but we were hungry and decided to order anyways. I got there Lomo Stack and it was soooo good ! The sandwich or torta (not sure exactly what it was) was probably one of the best I've ever had. Everything from the flavor to the texture was spot on ! I also had some of there chicken legs and thighs and it was all very juicy and flavorful! I'm glad I was able to try this place. Although I don't see myself spending $17 on a sandwich very often, I can't wait for the next time I stop by this place. If you're in the South Coast area this is a MUST TRY!“
“I love Peruvian food - my usual go to is the lomo saltado, but went with the current special on the saltado de pollo since it would come with a free soup, salad, or side dish. The dish was great. Good flavor, great portions. Came on a Tuesday at 12pm with some coworkers, and there was no wait; almost empty restaurant. Server was friendly, and attentive.Would make it a great lunch spot if the dish was a bit more affordable.. this was one of the cheaper dishes and came out to more than $20 after tip and tax.“
“I grew up nearby and I have never been and now I regret not finding this place sooner!! I found this spot on Yelp. THANK YOU YELP!! It's soooooo good. We were looking for a restaurant that was sort of in the middle of us and friends in Whittier. And I am incredibly glad we find it. Their food is really good. The restaurant had tons of seating and I love the decor, and the staff is so nice! I ordered the lomo saltado, my husband ordered the aji de gallina and our friend ordered the chaufa marisco. We were all so happy with our meals!! And A+ for a kids menu! I cannot wait to go back the next time I am in town.“
“They did not have Peruvian Options which were seen online on their menu. There wasn't any Leche de Tigre or any Ceviches. Do not trust the Menu. Call ahead. Edit: the food is really good coming from a Latino with vast taste in Latino culture food. The flavors are strong but not overwhelming. The empanadas are pretty good. They have chicken and meat and even shrimp. The lomo saltado is pretty good. It doesn't have the smoked flavor but it is still pretty well made. Their niche is the comercial area of civic center in Santa Ana so don't come here expecting rich flavors. Expect pretty good prices and good food.“
“This place was GREAT. First time here and loved the Lomo Saltado. Not a fancy place, but warm and comfortable. Good value with their food. The man behind the counter was really hospitable and even gave us 2 complimentary drinks. I will be back!!“
“This place makes such delicious Peruvian food. I order from here on an almost weekly basis. I've ordered The lomo saltado de carne, tallerin saltado de carne, arroz chaufa de carne, arroz chaufa de pollo, and arroz chaufa de marisco. I have enjoyed all of these dishes. I either order the lunch special or a la carte. It all depends on how much food I want. What can I say? Good food is good food. And the price and portions are reasonable. I highly recommend you come here if you want to enjoy good Peruvian food. Oh, and they make it to-order, so the food is always hot and fresh. You never have to wait more than 10 to 15 minutes for your order, even when they're busy.“
“Food was amazing, true authentic Peruvian food.Everything was seasoned to perfection. Only thing is the food is pricey. Someone would think coming to this location a plate would be $12-16 due to the location and also restaurant appearance.Plates are about $24-$40 depending on what your order but food is delicious.“
“The bread and sauces were good. I had the Saltado chicken which was underwhelming. The flavor was decent, but the chicken was like rubber. I saw that it was chicken breast which might explain why it was so dry. Chicken thigh would have worked better. It was so bad that I stopped eating it. Maybe the cook had a bad day. My friend ordered the same thing except she got beef. It did taste better. I also ordered agua de maracuyá which was delicious. If there is a next time I'll try something different. I did notice other people enjoying their food. The wait staff was attentive and the restaurant was acojedor (cozy).“
“They never fail me here. The chaufa is always good, good portions for the price & chunky. I don't even go to the Chinese spot for fried rice anymore, I go to Hornero's! I get the veggie chaufa, plantanos, fries, aqua frescas & they green sauce.“
“We love this place, both for takeout and dining in. Many variations on lomo saltado, and every one I've tried has been delicious. Be careful with the bread with the green sauce- the burn kicks in after a few minutes and it can be persistent. Overall, good food and good service, we'll be there any time we're craving Peruvian food.“
“The food was ok. The disappointment started with the Chicha morada drink. I was told that it was home made but unfortunately mine was water down.The service was definitely great the young ladies working were very attentive and always with a smile.“
“After a long day of movies and shopping at the towne center, This is my favorite place to go. The Chaufa de pollo is AMAZING. I always get extra green sauce to mix in with the Chaufa and it's just delightful. The service is always great, even when there a long line the workers are always kind. And inside the seating area is plentiful if you decide to eat in. Definitely recommend stopping here if you have the chance and if you have even more time try out the restaurant!“
“Quality of service: the boy who served us was very attentivePleasant atmosphereThe food: excellent, I was surprised by the anticuchos, delicious, delicious, juicy and soft, and the grilled chicken, excellent and ready.I would give them more than 5 stars. I recommend them 100%The best of Santa AnaWe will return without a doubt“
“We've been coming here since it was Mario's Peruvian. The food remains the same- great! Their Lomo Saltado is always made with freshly cut potatoes, setting it apart from other places that skip corners by using frozen fries. Go for the lunch specials, and you won't be disappointed!“
“I love Peruvian ceviche and I always get it from Chicama whenever I’m craving it! I’ve been here twice and both times the service has been amazing. It’s a small restaurant located in the corner of the lot. Parking can get full since they share the plaza with multiple other restaurants but people are coming in and out fairly quickly. There weren’t a lot of people at 6 pm on a Saturday night but this place deserves more visitors bc their food really is delicious!“
