Thanks so much Alejandra, she def deserves a raise (: the food is also delicious and so amazing!

MexPeruGypsy is a hidden gem tucked away in the bustling Fashion District of DTLA. While the area…read morecan feel hectic, it is absolutely worth making the trek to experience this culinary staple. I decided to visit after seeing it ranked so highly on Yelp, and it lived up to every expectation. I ordered the Lomo Saltado ($22.99), which features tender filet mignon strips sautéed with french fries, red onions, cilantro, tomato, soy sauce, red vinegar, and Peruvian garlic rice. The quality of the meat is outstanding--it literally melts in your mouth like butter. While the dish is perfectly seasoned on its own, Chef Felipe's house-made sauces are a must-try. The green aji sauce is vibrant and fresh, while the chili oil provides a wonderful kick. I highly recommend sitting at the counter if you can. It's mesmerizing to watch Chef Felipe work his magic on the wok, sending flames high into the air as he cooks. The service is truly unparalleled. Juan, the owner, is the most welcoming and cordial host I have encountered in a long time. He treats every guest like a long-lost friend and speaks with such pride about the restaurant's 45-year legacy. It is clear that he deeply appreciates his team; he specifically asked me to recognize Chef Felipe for his consistency and hard work. Juan's hospitality even extended to gifting me a complimentary Chicha Morada--a refreshing, perfectly balanced Peruvian drink that was the ideal accompaniment to the meal. Don't sleep on MexPeruGypsy! This is a must-visit spot in Los Angeles, and I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Here is to another 45 years of success!

Portions were big and very filling! I had to pack leftovers back. Their passion fruit juice was refreshing as well. They have a bathroom in the back. Ambiance is nice with decor and slightly dim lighting. Note that they charge a 3%fee on credit and debit cards. There is only street parking so that can be tricky in downtown as well.

The Peruvian food is still as good now as it was then. I ordered the Aquadito de Pollo which is a chicken soup with a distinct herbal flavor. There is plenty of tender chicken in the soup. It was a good start to my main which was Saltado de Pollo, my favorite. The dish was nicely prepared with a good ratio mix of chicken, onions, tomatoes, and French fries. It was not too salty at all. Rosty seems to make an exemplary Saltado de Pollo. The Chicha Morada was refreshing with the meal. I would return to Rosty if I am in the area again. Dining areas are comfortable with staff being friendly and efficient. The neighborhood looked gentrified with many other businesses in close proximity to explore. Street parking is usually available on the side streets if none is found in front of the restaurant.

The portions were quite generous making the food great for sharing. They also provide complimentary toasted bread and great dipping sauces. What I tried: - Fried yucca - a classic and great way to start the meal - Arroz chaufa de mariscos - shrimp, squid, mussels and fried rice. This was yummy and easily large enough to share. However, the rice was a bit too much on the salty side - Tallarin saltado de carne - sirloin beef strips with spaghetti and sautéed with onions and tomatoes. 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. Only available on Fridays/weekends. Beautiful presentation and tasted as good as it looked Overall a great spot to try Peruvian food in a comfortable, casual setting. Street parking or nearby public lots.

I had heard so many good things about Pollo a la Brasa, so I finally decided to give it a try…read moretoday. Starting with the positives: the food is delicious. 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.

Upon entering the restaurant, you'll feel transported into another country almost. The disco ball, the mood lighting, the live piano and singer, and overall upbeat energy was an instant vibe. I love how enthusiastic the staff is about the food, especially our server Gaia, who was an absolute gem. She kept our corn seeds refilled all evening (which by the way, was SO good and SO filling). The items we ordered were so unique and definitely felt like a true fusion of Peruvian and Japanese culture. We ordered: SPICY CRAB HAND ROLL: Wow, love the crunch and aioli in this!! Very flavorful, and the subtle crunchy texture was incredible. HOKKAIDO SCALLOP: Not sure what fermented douche paste is, but this was also a banger. It was fresh, and had an almost milky flavor to it. The bomb. SHRIMP DUMPLING w TIGER MILK AIOLI & SESAME LEAF: This was probably the highlight of our evening. Our server Gaia highly recommended this. I'm not a huge dumpling person, but she convinced me that it was worth it. I cannot rave enough about this dish. The subtle milky and creamy sauce drizzled on top of the shrimp dumpling was incredible. Idk if I'd even call it a dumpling because the shape was very interesting. The sesame leaf gave it such a refreshing aftertaste. Highly recommend this one! JAPANESE CURRY RAVIOLI: Probably my second favorite! I've never had curry ravioli before but what an audacious idea! MISO COD: Loved the little puffed things on top of the miso cod!!! Pretty standard dish, but it was really good! SALMON SKEWERS: Came highly recommended by Gaia, so of course we ordered it. Flavorful as heck, and love the sauce that it came with! BLUEBERRY PIE: Ohhhh boy, this was the most decadent and delicious pie I've EVER eaten. It came with a bunch of whipped cream, and two scoops of ice cream. The pie was so thick, it tasted like how fairy tale storybooks describe a pie made with love by someone's grandma. The slice is HUGE too, so you're def getting your money's worth for $15. Yes the food here was great, but our experience was truly elevated by the staff, especially our server Gaia! Her laidback yet enthusiastic vibe made us feel super cared for. I can't wait to send all my friends here so they can experience Hummingbird for themselves!!!

I had…read moreno idea the history or the name of this type of cuisine but a friend of mine told me that chifa (Peruvian and Chinese fusion) food is really popular in Peru. My friend and I shared the Lomo Saltado (filet mignon over a bed of rice with cherry tomato and onion with fries), Black Pepper Shrimp and siu mai. To drink I chose the Thai Basil Vanilla--almost like a Thai Vanilla iced latte! The Lomo Saltado was really good with rice. No notes here! The Black Pepper Shrimp was great too but had some heat, so not for someone who can't handle spicy especially on a hot summer day. I must say the prawns were huge! Super flavorful spices and went really well with the white rice. Siu Mai was great, kinda wished there were 4 instead of 3...had to be a bigger person and offer the last one to my friend haha! Now the decor was super cool. Loved the rich green velvet seating & the gold accent lighting fixtures. Although the seats weren't the comfiest, but it made a pretty IG photo ;) I shall return again, Chifa!
