Peruvian Restaurants near Whittier, CA

“This Peruvian restaurant instantly transported me back to the warmth of family gatherings, blending the vibrant flavors of home-cooked meals with the familiar comfort of classic diner favorites. The first time I tried their signature plate was at my graduation class celebration, and it left a lasting impression. The chicken was perfectly cooked—tender and juicy—with a fajita-style mix of bell peppers and onions that added a wonderful depth of flavor.

The green sauce served on the side was fiery and bold, packing just the right amount of heat without being too overwhelming. The best part? The dish stands strong on its own, even without the sauce, bc the quality and balance of the ingredients.

When the restaurant opened in Rodeo 72 Public Market, I ordered the same plate: Saltado de Pollo. Bold vibrant Peruvian flavors.
I’m already planning my next visit.“

“My husband and I both enjoyed their wonderful Peruvian cuisine of mouth-watering filet mignon, delicious soup with tender chicken, freshly baked and piping hot spinach cheese empanada. Restaurant is brand new and ultra-clean. I highly recommend it and look forward to returning soon!“

“AMAZING!! THE BEST PLACE IN SOUTH EL MONTE!! TRY THE LOMO SALTADO ANDA THE TIKI FRIES“

“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..“

“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“

“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.“

“Amazing Menu. The food melts in your mouth. Every bite I took was WOW! I had the Peruvian Ceviche, Parmesan scallops, tiger scallops and the Bluefin Tuna antiucho was so good I order 2 more orders of it. YUM. As a Peruvian a myself I totally recommend Akashiro. Will definitely come back and bring friends and family with me. Viva el Peru! 🇵🇪“

“The first event at this location was excellent and this one looks even better.“

“Good Ambience and food just fine“

“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 ⭐⭐⭐“

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

“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.“

“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“

“It's been over 2 years since I've eaten here. The prices have increased a bit, but the service by Michael was wonderful and the food is still DELICIOUS! 😋“

“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“

“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!“

“Buenazo como siempre !!!!“

“Great food , great service

The peruvian inspired ceviche was perfectly balanced, bursting with flavor, and the Lomo saltado is steak and French fries was melt-in-your-mouth perfection. Our server, was highly knowledgeable and attentive. Place is completely worth the diverse fusion of indigenous Incan traditions with Spanish, Chinese, and African influences, famous for ingredients like fresh seafood, potatoes, and chili peppers.

“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!“

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

“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!“
