    We had an 8:00 PM reservation at Cabra but didn't get seated until 8:50 PM. Thankfully, the managers were incredibly kind and took great care of us, which helped ease the long wait. Once we were seated, everything from that point on was spot on. We ordered the chicken empanadas, yuca fries, kingfish tiradito, and crispy pork, every single dish was packed with flavor and beautifully executed. The kitchen really knows what they're doing. Our server was also an absolute gem, super sweet, fun, and attentive throughout the night. Even though the delay was frustrating, the food and the service made up for it.

    Food, service, ambiance were all on point. As a guest staying at the hotel, this was a convenient, relaxing, and delicious treat. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates top quality, clean, Peruvian cuisine. Try the skewers, you'll thank me later.

    Delicious cider at Cabra LA

    Executive summary: amazing. This Peruvian inspired restaurant on top of the Hoxton hotel was the best surprise at the end of our California wine tour, and not because of wine. Crispy Pork Shank was amazing at night, and in the Picknick doggie bag the next day. We should have gone lighter on the other dishes, but no regrets. Bass Ceviche, quinoa & beet salad, and crispy broccoli were a wonderful combo. After wine tasting all week, Julian harvest cider and pisco sour made helped great palate cleansing. The beautiful rooftop location and wonderful service made us repeat offenders on our second night at the Hoxton.

    This place was a surprise dinner spot for a special day, and it turned out to be such a great experience! We got seated on the rooftop next to a little pool since there was a big group inside, but honestly, I loved it--amazing views up there. We ordered at the bar and they brought everything out to us. I had the wood-fired skirt steak and the Jalea Mixta--both were so flavorful and just hit the spot. It was a beautiful night overall. I'd definitely recommend this place for special dinners. Try going around golden hour--you'll get gorgeous photos and then enjoy the city lights after the sun goes down.

    On the rooftop of The Hoxton is this wonderful Peruvian restaurant. Their indoor outdoor seating is split with the beautiful pool deck offering beautiful views of DTLA city scape. We made reservations and were promptly seated. You can tell it gets more loud and lively longer into the night. Plates are tapas styled and filled with so much flavor. Every dish was incredible. Wood fired skirt steak was our favorite along with the chicken skewers. Something in the marinade and sauce that gave it a kick. Looking forward to coming once summer weather hits to fully take advantage of those views.

    Great view of downtown LA! Their dishes are tapa style and truly flavorful, The salmon ceviche was great. The steak skewers were yummy, the empanadas were a bit dry and too much dough. They had this amazing dish of cauliflower (forgot the name) but wooow! The most Flavorful veggie plate i ever had. Highly suggested if you are around DTLA.

    Really enjoyed it. Went here to celebrate my birthday and had a lovely time. The food was really original, with interesting twist on Peruvian food. Our server, Courtney, was amazing. She asked immediately if we had any dietary restrictions and when we informed her one of our party had a gluten allergy, she brought out a menu that she had specifically marked. She was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to ensure the items we ordered were gluten free. We had the ceviche, the tiradito, the choclo, the yuca fries, the pork shank, and cauliflower and everything was delicious. I was offered a yummy complementary dessert and the view was pretty great too.

    My favorite food experience in 2025 thus far! I spent my birthday here with a total of 8 people. It was such an enjoyable experience, their service was accomodating, fast and friendly. The food was phenomenal that it was hard to pick favorites. The semi-outdoor seating was warm enough for a winter night. Ambiance is warm lighting with hip decor. The food is tapa style so our table ordered a couple. The crowd favorite and I think are a must were the Bass Ceviche and Tuna&Tots. I think you can never go wrong especially the dishes are by Chef Stephanie Izard. The dishes are more Peruvian inspired but as someone who loves Peruvian food, I enjoyed them. The Papa Huancaina paired so well with dishes, just the right amount of crisp with the potatoes and the sauce wasn't too overwhelming. There is valet parking at the Hoxton but also plenty of parking garages around. I can't wait to come back! Note: if you have a party of 9 or more, you're required to do their pre-fixe.

    Food was great. I ordered one drink: PISCO PAINKILLER and it was all foam, ice, and only 3-5 sips of the drink itself. Not worth it for only a few sips. It was cashless payment. I just saw my receipt and there are all these up charges: 1% service charge, 4% benefits surcharge, and another charge to use the cashless Sunday platform fee of $1.49, plus automatic gratuity, in case you didn't know and you tip on top of that. For the quinoa beet salad and a drink it was almost $60, not worth the meal but it was a cute rooftop place to try out.

    Why was I so late to the party? Came here to hang out and try a "new spot" and soooooo do recommend! Servers were very attentive and quick with food and drinks. Ambiance is great as well, sitting on the rooftop of the The Hoxton hotel. If you want to impress make reservations here for an evening of great food and drinks with an amazing view. Side note, all menu items are Peruvian influenced and if you have any good allergies let your server know!! Otherwise, sit down, relax and enjoy!

    Dessert was delicious

    Buddy of mine suggested we come here for rooftop view, food and drinks and loved it! What a beautiful venue and loved being on the rooftop. Food was delicious, staff were very accommodating and the catch up with friends was wonderful! Definitely come hang out here when in town, this hotel rooftop is great!

    Chicken Thigh Skewers - 10/10 Juicy and tender chicken (3 1" pieces of chicken per skewer) with a yummy peanut sauce
    Shinesh P.

    Food: Chicken Thigh Skewers - 10/10 Juicy and tender chicken (three 1" pieces of chicken per skewer) with a yummy peanut sauce Crab Causa - well balanced textures 8/10 Wood Fired Skirt Steak 7/10 steak (about four 2" pieces) was nice and juicy but there was just too much sauce Yuca Fries - 10/10 must try crunchy steak cut fries w/ chorizo Papas Huancaina - 10/10 must try also cruchy smashed potato with cheese portion size: It is not shareable. Please get your own entree or a bunch to share. The potatoes are somewhat shareable. service: Our waiter was nice. the overall service was really really slow and uncoordinated. We had like entrees come out and then all the sides showed up. So if you can as you put in your order just ask for things to come out in pairs entree + side unless you like eating just your protein. Id say service was 3.5/5 Ambiance: great for any group. They have good vibes flowing with chill music and mood lighting. It does have a reclining pergola. So if you get chilly bring a light jack or pashmina. Parking: Valet, street or garages nearby. Payment: apple pay and card are both options. not sure about cash

    An absolute gem! When you walk in, you'll need to go to the elevator and hit R for the rooftop. They have an outdoor area and an indoor area. We opted for indoor since it was cold but still beautiful since it is enclosed by glass. Everything we ordered was delicious. It is made to share so the server recommends 3-4 dishes for 2 people - the perfect amount. She was great. My absolute favorite was the chorizo and queso dip which came with a pita. So simple sounding but the texture was phenomenal. It's like they whipped air into the cheese and the chorizo and pistachios gave it a nice balance of texture. The salmon ceviche was also delicious - very flavorful, fresh, and a zing in the mouth. Second favorite. The seabass is third - cooked well and loved the crunchy quinoa but it was very salty. The empanada was my least favorite but I appreciated there was a lot of meat in the puff pastry. For dessert, Sticky toffee pudding was good but lacked toffee - needs more! I never really come to DTLA so I'm glad this is where we ended up. A favorite spot in the area for sure.

    Minimal. Great vegan appetizers, but I wouldn't necessarily dine here if you are a vegan.

Even though I don't really drink soda, I had to get the traditional Peruvian Inca soda which pairs so nicely with the food. They also start you off with the fresh yummy bread and butter. The staff is very sweet and the service is really good. The prices are extremely reasonable, especially considering the portion sizes. They have a parking lot that is shared with the other business in the strip mall. The place is popular and will get busy on Fridays and weekends especially. But worth the wait.

The cutest little hole in the wall, but still has plenty of seating. I noticed the sign saying they've been open for 45 years which really caught my eye. I walked past it 3 separate times while checking out different stores and each time I saw new customers outside, it was never empty, I knew I had to try. 10/10 service! I was looking at the pictures on the wall and not even 30 seconds later, Ozzie (sorry if i spelled it wrong) came out handed me a menu and greeted me. A couple minutes later he came back to take my order, but I am indecisive and needed more time and he was super kind and patient! I ended up sitting at the bar and ordering to go when the owner Juan came out we started conversing. He asked me how I found the place and if it was my first time and he was so kind and personable. I love when owners or managers have this warm energy to them! I paid $13 cash for three tacos (al pastor) which I'll be honest is a little more than I would normally spend on tacos, but they were a really good size, double tortilla, and delicious, probably one of the best i've had in a long time and the service was so nice that I would go back and do it again. The salsa is super hot lol be careful i'm a huge fan of Peruvian food and it's hard to find good Peruvian food in this area so I will definitely be back to try the ceviche!!

Dried bread and dipping sauces were brought while we perused the menu. Our food came quick. First was the chicken soup we ordered as an appetizer. It was delicious! Warning - the red salsa side dish is super hot. We tested it first, added a small splash, and loved it. Next was a sliced beef and marinated onion sandwich. It was well filled and really tasty, our favorite of the night. The green salsa that comes with it is a perfect compliment - savory and spicy like a molé, but not too hot. We will order this again. Then came the beef heart, not a dish for everyone, but a personal favorite. Seasoned with a great dry rub and cooked on wood skewers, it was on par with the best yakitori I have ever had. What made it even better, however, were the sides. The hominy was perfectly chewy and seasoned. Mixed with the green salad, the potato chunks, and some of the green and white dipping sauces, well, it was an excellent compliment to the dense beefiness of the roasted heart chunks. OTOH, the salsa that comes with the beef heart, while full of chopped scallions and such, was far too sour for my taste. It was like pure lime juice. I tasted it and set it aside, only adding a few bits into my mix of sides. The final nice touch was the price. Total for three dishes was $40 before tax and tip. We will be back. The closest public parking lot is a couple blocks to the north, but we found a metered spot right out front.

So delicious, but I wish they were a bit more generous with the amount of beef given the price - Causa de Cameron acevichada - smashed potatoes with shrimp ceviche.

I ordered the quarter chicken with rice and salad, and I was really impressed with the portion sizes. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and gave me the kind of authentic Latin food vibes that I love. The sauce was definitely the highlight for me--it was so good that I found myself adding it to every bite. The prices are also fantastic. For the quality and quantity of food you get, this place is truly a gem. That said, there were a couple of downsides. The restaurant itself is very small, with limited seating available. The customer service also wasn't the best during my visit. Since the dining area was completely full when we arrived, we decided to place our order to go. While we were waiting for our food, a table opened up, so we asked if we could sit down and eat there instead. We were told that because we had ordered our food to go, we were not allowed to sit in the restaurant. I found that a bit disappointing, especially since we had already paid for the same food as everyone else dining in. Overall, the food was excellent and definitely the reason I would come back. If I'm in the area and craving their chicken, I'd absolutely return--just with different expectations regarding the seating situation and service.

Beautiful plants hanging, perfect Spanish music in the background (any place playing Natalia LaFourcade is a win). The drinks were great! I had the jungle bird which was fun. Food was so good too. The whipped beans are the star! We had the guacamole which was tasty, great tostadas with it. The arepas were good but the pork belly was a little too fatty (I know pork belly is always fatty) to the point the fat muted the flavored for the arepa a bit, but still delicious.

The staff are lovely humans who really seem to care about their customers. We have some faves on the menu. The bean dip is fabulous and I'm addicted to the baby gem salad. They have recently amped up the filling in the delicious crispy squash blossoms and I love the acidity and heat. The fish is also a hit in my books. One dish that doesn't work for me is the lamb chops, which is a shame since it's my favorite protein. I've ordered them multiple times with clear instructions on temperature and have found them overcooked and tough. The beef tostada was just ok. Whilst I loved the pickled veg on the side, the beef was underseasoned. It wasn't bad - just not up to the standard of other dishes. The vibe in the place is welcoming and the restaurant is nicely appointed. We will continue to be regulars and it's really worth trying if you haven't been yet.
