This place is close to my job and they have AMAZING lunch specials! Is used to just get pick up orders from them as a treat to myself on certain days at work. But I recently went there in person to sit down and eat and it was sublime. I took my family both times and everyone loved it! The staff there is kind, efficient, and personable. They do mostly speak Spanish so be prepared to dust off some of that highschool Spanish! My go-to orders are always the Lomo combinando plate with a side of plátanos. The servings are great sizes also, I usually can split it between two meals. A definite must try! read more

The service here was nice I ordered to go and they even gave me a little soup to try and that small green soup was so good. And my lomo saltado was so flavorful! It's such a good spot the small hole in the wall spots always are. read more

Aji Verde - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Paramount, California

They treat you like family here and their happy hour specials keep us coming back time and time again !!!

I almost don't want to leave a review because I want to keep this best kept secret for ourselves. We found this place a month ago and just loved the food. Our first visit it was just me and hubby. Service was quick but not very friendly at all. We ordered the Jalea De Mariscos and Tallarin Saltado. The Jalea was so good. It was so good that we ordered it the next time we came. The Saltado flavor was good, but the noodles were slightly overcooked for my liking. Even with the so-so service during our first visit, we enjoyed the food so much that we came back and brought our family in to celebrate my mom's birthday. Great food all around. The best service this time around. Our family are fans. We definitely want to come back and try their lunch specials. read more

Best Peruvian food west of the Mississippi. Service is unmatched. Soon as you sit down they bring soup and bread. Enough to be full before your meal. Another thing that stood out is they offer a 2 liter Inca cola. The lomo and ceviche are excellent. The decorations and music set an authentic dinning experience. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Wow! Just Wow! This place is a GEM!! This was my first time here and everything was amazing and completely worth it. I decided to go for the lomo saltado and honestly it was delicious. The meat, the flavor, the portion - on point. We bought the 2 lt Inka Cola for $4.50 - totally worth it because if you have any left over, you can take the bottle with you. The little side soup was good as well. The bread was fresh but I didn't really like it but my daughter loved it. Oh! Before I forget, the AJI was amazing!! It was just perfext, the flavor was sooo good and i loved that it was not overly spicy. It was just perfect!! The service was great, very attentive but not overly! I will definitely be coming back and recommend this place to those I know. If you haven't been, please go NOW! Haha you will not be disappointed. The ambiance is very family friendly and not too loud. Parking is great since it's in a big shopping center. read more

I've been a customer since they were located in Long Beach. This location has alot of available parking, the food is great and full of flavor. The service from the waitress is horrible, shes bothered to even greet customers which is definitely a bummer since this is a family business. The older gentleman at the counter is always a sweetheart. read more

The service was attentive and the accommodated my payment of partial Chas and card for the food. They were very generous with the Aji sauce as I was given 4 containers per order; I ordered a Chaufa de Mmaricos and a Steak mixed with French fries. I think it's called Tallerin Saltado. Both were excellent, The ambience is a good that it is very clean and they bus and clear the tables rapidly. read more

I just tried this place for the first time. I have been looking for a great Peruvian spot for a few years now. Thanks to all the great reviews this place had I have finally found one. I for forgot to take picture because I was in a hurry to try their food. I order the lomo saltado and it was delicious! I forgot the name of the dish my husband tried but it was beans n rice mixed with a steak and fried eat on top. He loved it. The place is very clean and service was welcoming. I asked if it was family owned and it was. That explains why they paid so much attention to their customers. I am looking forward to coming back. They had so many dishes I want to try. Keep up the good work! read more

Great authentic Peruvian food me and my dad always come here when we want great authentic food

The food was delicious! Service was on point. I love the casual atmosphere. It has a very homey feel to it. We came in on a Wednesday night and it had its little crowd. I noticed a lot of people were picking up too. You could tell that the locals know about this place. I loved that that I got to enjoy saltado without having to worry about a spike in my blood sugar! It's a little hidden in the corner, but it's there. read more

Les dejo 2 estrellas porque e ido en person y es 10x mejor. Primero - pague $70 por Postmates por un lomo saltado, un ceviche, y 3 gaseosas. Si me dieron 7/8 pedacitos de carne es mucho. Y ponle más o menos 10/15 papas fritas pero un montón de arroz. Un lomo saltado es al revés no!? Mucha papa y carne y poco arroz? Segundo - el ceviche eran pedazos de camarón congelados. Los conté. 7 pedazos. Ahí les dejo una foto pa que vean y no digan que soy mentiroso. read more

I had been craving Peruvian food and decided to make the 30-minute drive to check out this spot -- and I'm so glad I did. From start to finish, everything was a 10/10. You're greeted with a warm bowl of aguadito de pollo (a flavorful chicken and cilantro soup), along with a basket of house-baked bread, butter, and their signature sauce. It's the kind of welcome that instantly sets the tone for a great meal. We ordered the papa rellena and pollo saltado, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. You can tell everything is made with care and authentic seasoning. The portions were generous, the flavors were on point, and the presentation was thoughtful. The service was equally impressive -- warm, attentive, and knowledgeable. You can feel the pride they take in their food and hospitality. I'll definitely be coming back and recommending this restaurant to friends and family. I just hope their level of quality and service never changes, because that would truly be a disappointment. For now, it's a gem I'm happy to have found! read more

AMAZING FOOD! If I could give them more stars I would! Every time I order from this restaurant the food makes me feel like a loved one cooked it. Thank you Aji Verde! read more

Excellent food. Love the flavor of the rotisserie chicken and their complimentary soup. The service for both take out and for sit downs has been great: read more

It's tucked away in the corner of a shopping plaza but don't let it's modest appearance fool you. The food is packed full of Flavor!! The customer service is so wonderful! The staff here were so friendly and accommodating. I had the arroz con pollo and it may look small, but my plate was jam packed full of flavor! From the warm rolls and soup they brought out while I searched the menu, to the Passion Fruit juice I had. This place is definitely a hidden gem! And I didn't have to break the bank to have a Delicious meal! read more

After eating here a few times for lunch and dinner, my favorite items are the lomo saltado and the tallarin pastas. What I like about Ají Verde is that the meats that come with the entrees are very good quality. The chicken soup that come with the lunch specials, the aguadito de pollo, is also very good and is obviously freshly made. I also like how they're generous with the delicious bread. The French fries have always been golden crisp and delicious. Don't forget the Inca Kola. Also, it helps when the service has been very good on all visits. Certainly, there are more aesthetically pleasing Peruvian restaurants, but when it comes down to what matters most--how good the food is--Ají Verde has, by far, the best Peruvian food I've had. read more

Let's start with service. Felt very welcomed by the staff as we entered. Staff was very attentive. If you like Peruvian food this is a no brainer. If have never tried it, it's a great time to start. Extensive menu with chicken, steak, pork, seafood and vegan options. Various meats were tasty and tender. The green sauce is so delicious I could drink it Buon appetito! read more

I turned my friend onto Peruvian food now it's been never ending Peruvian crave crawl ! Cute little Bread rolls comes out with your green chili Like most Peruvian restaurants. Absolutely love the green sauce. Sometimes I just wanna order a bottle of it and just put it on everything! Immediately after they come out with chicken soup . I don't eat meat so I passed. My roommate is the most picky eater in the world, and he loved it too thumbs up. We were so surprised. Then I made them eat the potatoes with the yellow sauce, so they can just have like the full Peruvian meal. They order the classic steak, rice french fries plate that most white boys like. I got the rice and vegetables and potatoes. It was OK I'm used to getting it with french fries so I was a little disappointing. It's the only time I like a soggy wet french fry. I can kick myself for not getting the bananas, but we were so full by the time we were done. The service was top-notch, and it's a super cute spot ! read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND this hidden gem. I stumbled upon this place very randomly on Yelp and I was soo glad I did. This restaurant has a very homestyle, family vibe. Prices are reasonable. My friend and I both ordered the lomo Saltado which was amazing. Tender and juicy meat with garlicy and salty fries and onions. The dinner rolls and soup included were great as well. I ordered passion fruit juice and it was so sweet and tasty. I wanted to try their alfajores cookies but sadly they did not have them when I was there. I will definitely return and bring friends here! This is not really in my area but I would make the drive again just to eat here :) UPDATE: I ordered this again, to go, couldn't eat it until about 40 minutes later, and it was still warm and delicious! The alfajores cookies are so good too read more

This is my third time trying Peruvian food and my second time visiting this restaurant. The first time I came here, I tried the lomo saltado--it was average. On my second visit, I ordered the arroz chaufa with beef, but it was extremely salty. I politely asked the waiter if it was normally this salty, and she explained that it was due to the soy sauce they use, suggesting that I might not be accustomed to it. However, when I asked, another waiter gave me an unpleasant look, making me feel as if I were being scolded, even though I was respectful in my approach. I even mentioned that the meat was good, but the rice was overly salty. They eventually brought me another dish, supposedly with less salt, but it was only slightly better. I was disappointed with how they handled my simple question about the saltiness of the dish. Unfortunately, this will be my last time dining here. I'll continue searching for a good Peruvian restaurant that better suits my taste. read more

Food was delicious. Not 2 minutes after we were seated, we were given fresh warm rolls with butter and green sauce, followed by a small bowl of soup. We placed our orders and were eating within 10 minutes. Fast, fresh and delicious. read more

My BF loves lomo saltado and he approves of this spot , just wishes the beef had been more tender but he said it has the best flavor. Fries were crispy. I agree it's good. The soup with our meal was so amazing! It is broth with veggies but it's so flavorful and with a squeeze of lime is perfect. We also received complimentary bread which was warm and perfect with the warmed butter, great attention to detail. I had the papas with cheese, the cheese sauce was cold, but overall ok. Not my favorite. My steak with rice and beans with an egg and plantain was recommended by my server. The sides of plantain were soooo good. I could eat a bucket of them. Sweet and slightly crispy. The steak was thin, tender, and flavorful. What surprised me was the beans and rice mixed together in a lump under the steak. It doesn't look great but was SO GOOD! Like, what in the world is in that. I had to eat it all. Like we don't even love beans and both of us were eating away at it. 100 points. Plus a fried egg? Heaven. Very happy with this recommendation! read more

Amazing .. the Lomo Saltado and passion fruit juice my personal favorite. This spot is sooo great

Went with bud for pre-game; three prereqs for judging a Peruvian place: the eponymous sauce, a saltado and ceviche mixto. Ceviche mixto was the right mix though I always pine for those big baskets they give you at Mario's. Aji verde delivered and they give you a whole squeeze bottle. Saltado de mariscos was perfect. Friendo ordered the Aji de gallino as well, enjoyed but nothing to o compare/contrast to. Sadly they were out of pollo a la brasa ... The staff was amazing - we're obviously not from the neighborhood though we were treated as such. Really great multi-generation family service and it puts this spot at 5 stars for me. read more

*** solid Peruvian restaurant in Paramount with extensive seafood menu *** ENVIRONMENT Aji Verde is located in a small plaza in Bellflower. Thanks to Steve M. who posted a photo back in December 2020 clarifying exactly where this humble little place is... "Look for the large Moon Stone Square building sign to the left of Aji Verde Peruvian Restaurant." You can't miss at night. SERVICE Friendly and welcoming! I called in an order because I just get so tired of GrubHub sometimes. I want the restaurant to get my money and tips. Not GrubHub for a simple takeout order! The gentleman on the phone was so kind and patient. He was the same guy who was at the register to take my payment. He said COVID has taken its toll on their restaurant, but they are still hanging in there. Please support these folks! MY FAVORITE PART... So. Much. Food... with my lomo saltado order. And with a pandemic? So appreciated. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... I wanted the steak in the lomo saltado to be just a little more tender. It was so delicious, though - don't let this comment deter you from trying it! THE GRUB + Lomo saltado... These flavors perpetuate my soul. I kind of want this for breakfast most mornings. Hey Mom, at least it has quite a few veggies in there! It came with 3 small bread rolls. A little dough-y, but good for mopping up juice and the soup. Yes! There was a small cup of this wonderful soup. Not sure what they call it because I didn't even know that it came along with my entrée. It was packed with veggies and some chunks of and some shredded chicken and still super hot by the time I got home. Spicy too! + The spice level is turned up! I love, love, love their on-the-spicier side aji sauce. In my opinion, it's spicier than Chef Hornero's in Bellflower and Sol Inka in La Mirada. And they give you a nice size cup of it. Don't change your ways, Aji Verde, please! I didn't see a kids menu, however, they do have vegetarian options, a rather extensive seafood menu, and some really fantastic-sounding lunch specials. PARKING Ample free parking in a shared lot. TIP For small takeout orders, meals are ready in about 15 minutes if you call ahead. OVERALL This is a restaurant that I wouldn't mind getting takeout or going to lunch for every single week. Look at the love they are getting lately. People around Paramount and surrounding cities don't sugarcoat stuff. Lol. For your hard-earned money, the portions are extraordinary. Queue Better Than Ezra's "Extra Ordinary..."

One of the best Peruvian places around, maybe the best in L.A. County. It's located in a pleasant little plaza in Paramount. It doesn't seem like anything incredible from the outside but the food...the food is authentic and beyond superb. I may know nothing about any other cuisine but having a Peruvian wife and having numerous home-cooked family meals in Peru as well as enjoying a plethora of restaurants on my many trips to the country, I think I can spot a legitimately fantastic Peruvian place when I see one. This is the real deal. I came for lunch and took it back to work. It was packaged well and was still hot 20 minutes after my purchase. The woman working the counter was very friendly, helpful, and competent. I ordered lomo saltado, an Inca Kola, plus some alfajores (Peruvian cookies) for dessert. The lomo saltado was one of the best I've had here in the States. Pieces of beef, onion, and tomato on a bed of fries. It looks simple but it can be easily screwed up. They do it perfectly here. I always complain how tasteless tomatoes are in the U.S. but the tomatoes they had in this lomo were quite flavorful. The beef was chunky as I like it and flavored well. It could have been more tender but my mentioning it is nitpicking. The alfajores are made in-house and were superb. I'd stop in again just to pick up another container of these delightful cookies. The lomo saltado comes with an enormous side of rice so you won't be hungry when you finish. I always laugh at how anyone can actually finish all the fries and rice in a serving of lomo saltado. They also provided containers of aji sauce which is traditionally used to spice up the meal (Americans typically dip bread in it) as well as small bread rolls. What amazed me most was that as a bonus this restaurant provided a container of chicken soup. I didn't ask for it, they just gave it as a free side. It was delicious soup and is something you would expect to receive in Peru as a homey gesture but I've never known a Peruvian restaurant here to give out soup just because. It made the meal feel more authentic. Peruvians LOVE soups (my wife insists soup be served to any dinner guests or at any special occasion meal). I really love that they do this. A huge thanks to Jenni M. for turning me on to this place! read more
