Can't find a chain with good soup and lomo saltado like this place

Food was blah. Compared to other Peruvian restaurants, the food here falls short. For the price, I expected better tasting food. We came on a Friday evening and it was pretty dead. That should have been our first clue. The service was even worse. Our waiter was not pleasant and seemed to be annoyed that he had to serve us. Then when I asked him if they could sing happy birthday to my brother since it was his bday, he said “we used to do that but not anymore”. Spend your money elsewhere.

One of the best restaurants in the world. Loma saltado, soup, salad and so many more outstanding dishes. Must visit and several local are all good.

This is a great cozy low lit place with excellent soup for colds! I enjoy the food here, although the prices are on the medium ti higher end , a large soup will run you $16.00. It will feed two, so it's actually worth the price. It's made daily and like I mentioned, great for a cold. Share a plate, and it won't be too expensive, the portions are good sized. I ordered two large soups to go!

Well known local chain offering iconic Peruvian dishes.
Our favorites: Tallarin Verde con Bistec Apanado (spaghetti in pesto sauce, topped with a breaded milanesa steak), Lomo Saltado (sautéed beef strips, stir fried with veggies and french fries), Chaufa De Pollo (fried rice with chicken)
Of course, their yummy yummy yummy chicken cilantro soup - Aguadita de Pollo, freshly rolls, and delicious slightly spicy Peruvian green sauce, Aji Verde.
I've been eating at their various locations for over 30 years and have loved it each time.

The infamous food, I'm Peruvian... I ate in Gardenia once and it was very good. Yesterday I went to eat in Torrance, lomo saltado and stuffed potatoes were both disgraceful, I had never eaten something so bad... I will never go back to that one again. restaurant

Complete rip off!! Just got 3 meals which cost us 0ver 90+ dollars and they can't even get their app aligned with when the order is actually done, the online order said it was done and had to wait another 20 min for order. My breaded steak was near Teflon, the measly plastic utensils they give you broke trying to cut the damm thing lol. This was a place once great that had fallen like so many over the years of lack of discipline and standards.

not sure if today was an off day. #1 Anticuchos under cooked. #2 French Fries Under cooked. #3 Cilantro Rice way to salty , un-eatable.
Aguadito & Pollo a la Brasa only OK. maybe because I was hungry and that all I could eat.
I almost forgot the Corn and Aji was the best .

Vegetarians cannot swap out the included chicken soup with a small salad without an additional $2. Bread is stale and dry. The bathroom is over 30 years old, dingy, poor ventilation and chemically masked.
