“Having a delicious dinner, an excellent view, an excellent atmosphere with very professional service was one of the best experiences I have ever had in this type of restaurant. I highly recommend it, especially because of the explosive flavors of the food, something that you are not normally used to but something that you will love and can become addicted to.“
“Walking Santee Alleys makes you hungry and Mex Peru Gipsy is EXCELLENT, 5 star for food and service. My family ordered a little bit of everything - the gotta has a chipotle sauce which brings together the flavors perfectly. The menudo was authentic and they bring out all the condiments. The lomo saltado and tallarín was perfect. The serve is fast and friendly as if you're eating with family. Everyone here takes great pride in what they serve. Worth driving to even if you're not shopping the alleys.“
“Excellent restaurant, very clean and the food is great. Only issue is the parking, only street parking but it’s not a big deal. After eating delicious food you don’t care about it.Parking: Wish they had a parking spot,but after eating good food at a good restaurant it doesn’t matter.“
“Thai place is around me house so I have been here plenty of times and is about time for a review, great location plenty of parking and amazing food my favorite is the "picante de mariscos" with a inka cola, great service and reasonable prices give them a try“
“The place it's beautiful on the back has a little place whit plant an tarp so can enjoy outdoor whit a heating system if feel cold and the ambient it's nice for Saturday dinner and the food we'll it's Japanese food it's delicious enjoy“
“Si lo recomiendo, la comida muy buena y hoy después de un arduo día de trabajo en el Peru Village Festival, vinimos y nos llevamos un grata impresión, su gente súper amigable, había música increíble, me sentí en mi Callao Querido. Gracias por hacer que mi día termine súper bien :)“
“If you want a Peruvian food experience, dine at Bodegon No 69 In Old Town Pasadena. We were able to dine indoors without a reservation (short wait). We were seated in their private dining area as tables indoors were full. For starters, we got the jalea mixta and empanadas (beef and chicken). If you like deep fried seafood, get the jalea mixta. Their empanadas was crispy, stuffed with fillings of choice. For ceviches, get the ceviche B69, which includes a variety of seafood. For entrees, I recommend the arroz con mariscos (seafood paella) and lomo saltado. Both are popular dishes and very flavorful. They give a generous amount of seafood. Drinks were okay, I wasn't impressed with the presentation or taste. Service was friendly. Just took long for food to come out in between meals. Overall, lively atmosphere and authentic Peruvian food!“
“Had my birthday party dinner here and what a delight it was. Special shoutout to Jesus and the rest of the team for such a lovely experience! The food was amazing (seriously, order the #69 and you’ll thank me), the vibes were great and everyone was so accommodating. Can’t recommend them enough!“
“I went to the 7-11 next door and walked past this place. I looked on Yelp and noticed the awesome lunch specials. I decided to try it out. I ordered the aji de gallina to try. They gave me the lunch special price so it was awesome! It came with bread + butter, soup, soda/drink, and the entree. It was a lot of food! I was so full even after the soup! The aji de gallina is good but reminded me of a tuna casserole. Waitress was nice and it was a hole in the wall joint.“
“I was really impressed by the great taste of the food and the quality of service showed by its staff, Peter customer service skills are outstanding by all means)) Kudos to the folks in the kitchen, because their food was delicious!Vegetarian options: Saltado“
“Saltado de mariscos is the best here , I've been coming here for soooooo long I had my 5th grade graduation dinner here lol The pan with Ají sauce with some butter to get started is top notch ! The service is always great they are alert of the table if we need anything else . Wait time can be wildly long if you plan on going on a weekend 40+ minute wait ! Just go to the 711 hang out in the parking lot the food is worth the wait .“
“I had the Lomo Saltado with beef. The beef was perfectly cooked, juicy, tender, abundantly flavorful & the fries were also spot on. Not saturated at all, very crispy & fresh. A delicious Inca Cola to wash it all down with is the absolute perfect pairing for this dish in my opinion ??“
“Really nice waiter attended us. We came here because loaded cafe had nobody attending guests. It was a cute little typical hispanic place. Restroom is through the kitchen which is pretty unhygienic but whatever. Fresh ingredients and food was flavorful except for the eggs but overall solid. Pupusas were huge but I didn't try them.“
“The best grilled chicken smoked like a barbecue grill in town this is a must try must eatVegetarian options: Other vegetarian options are planting salad rice beansKid-friendliness: Kid friendly fries also plantainsWheelchair accessibility: Double door accessible for wheelchair“
“Yummy food! Happy to have been able to walk in on a Saturday as a group of 4 and be accommodated right away. Definitely worth trying but..Be aware of their verbiage when dining, they might try to upsell ya on water, etc.Also the check felt like a trap.. They added a service charge that ended up being 20% when doing the math. But still had a dedicated line showing suggested tip amounts. So you might end up tipping twice which isn’t the end of the world but still felt pretty deceitful.“
“Best Peruvian food I ever tried in LA!One of my favorites Lomo Saltado and their yellow, white and green sauce are absolutely delicious! All very fresh and flavorful. I would order food from here everyday, it’s really good!Highly recommended! You really need to give it a try.“
“My go to spot for delivery , I've only ate once inside but usually I order for delivery and they never miss ! I always get the chicken with fries and the amount of fries they give you is wonderful ! The taste of the chicken is very Smokey but it isn't overpowering the ají sauce I always order extra the spice level is great I'm use to spicy salsas , foods I enjoy the level of this ají sauce .“
“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.“
“We went for dinner, we arrived at 8pm and there was no service at the table, only takeaway... the food was very delicious and well served, the place is not very big but it is cozy! Totally recommended... the prices are affordable, we ordered for two and spent around 40 dollars.Kid-friendliness: If you come from Peru or Latin America you will find rice!!! What do children ask for...“
“I ordered the #4 . I haven’t been here since I was a kid . I’m so happy to see the business is still here and thriving. I LOVE the beans . Rice and chicken were delicious . Chicken was juicy. I had the Maracuya beverage . HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you like sweet drinks . I hope to come back soon.“

“We ordered grilled chicken, loinSaltado and sausage when they bring us the last minute orders they tell us that there is no longer any grilled chicken to prepare the sausage, and my son had to order another dish, this made me uncomfortable because I think they should anticipate this type of situation.Well, regarding the flavor, the chicken was very pleasant, the loin was not bad.“
“If you want the best barbecue chicken in town this is no doubt the place to go to. Chicken September falls off the phone and the flavor is to die for me also have rice and beans it's a very simple menu but very good place to go eat or take home“
“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!!“
“Based on the current inflated prices of Peruvian food, this place is a great deal price wise for trying assorted Peruvian dishes. Highly recommended if you're looking to try Peruvian food for the first time and are on a budget. Plenty of parking in the strip mall it's located in.IG: kay_okay_eat“
“Pretty low key spot. Simple tables , kinda sparse design but clean and comfortable. Good service, but low key. Food was solid. Had the mixed Ceviche and it was solid. I'm a ceviche connoisseur, but this was comparable to what I'd generally get in Lima. On a really tough scale as someone who has tried some of the best ceviche recipes you come across in multiple countries, I give it a 7.5-8 out of 10. Really, good, deserving of a 9 out of 10 on an l LA Peruvian ceviche scale. It was served the very traditional way I don't often see outside of Peru. Good spot if you like Peruvian food. Want to come back to try other dishes.“
“I ordered the rotisserie Peruvian chicken. It was seasoned to perfection. It comes with a large salad and french fries. The chicken is five out of five stars and the salad is fresh. The fries poorly seasoned and taste fresh out of the freezer and a true disappointment. I have ordered take out four times and I am very surprised the place very clean , a bit run down, but near empty. I believe the $27 rotisserie chicken dinner special is over priced for the local market.“
“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 loved this place, the food is homemade. I tried the rice with seafood and the squid chicharrón. The food is freshly made, good ingredients. I also had the opportunity to try their cocktails, the pincho was delicious, the attention is as if you were in house, the owner is very kind.Parking: It is not difficult to park.Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is familiarWheelchair accessibility: It is very easy to access with a wheelchair“
“You know the place is legit and authentic when they are committing to speaking to me and my party in Spanish despite none of being visibly from a Spanish speaking ethnicity. The servers were kind and helpful, and very quick with delivery.The food is absolutely delicious - I strongly recommend getting the aji de gallina. One of the best I've had.“
“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.“
“Love this place. Delicious and authentic Peruvian food. Arroz con mariscos and the ceviche is my favorite. The chef always comes to our table to make sure our order is correct. The vibes is nice the salsa music, is small but all it matters is the taste of it.“
“No frills, delicious Peruvian food spot at the same price point as El Pollo Loco. I order the pollo a la brasa and the Jalea mixta - both are bomb. Nearby Yelp favorite Rosty is literally double the price for a whole pollo and the quality is not profoundly better. Ive been here about 5 times now and the food and service is consistent. Given that I'm not sure why this place doesn't have much better reviews, but thankfully the demographic that eats here doesn't seem to rely on Yelp.“
“I ordered the tallarin saltado especial, (beef, chicken and shrimp), salsa criolla and chicha morada. Delicious flavor, the aji was spicy (just the way i love it). I highly recommend this place, service was friendly, wide variety of options.“
“Stumbled upon this place randomly while shopping in the fashion district. The service was good but the food was GREAT! Absolutely loved the Camarones Saltado! It was served hot and absolutely delicious. I will come back again and again. This is my new go-to for Peruvian. :)“
“Very good Peruvian food, the service is excellent, very friendly, you feel at home, the bathroom is very clean, in general, everything is excellent. If you are Peruvian and you are looking for a good meal with a Peruvian flavor, this is the place ❤️??“
