I just love this place. It's run by a family and they are amazing. I have been coming here for years and this is still my favorite place for Peruvian food. The tallarines verde, the lomo Saltado, everything is amazing. Oh and don't forget their warm bread with the spicy green sauce. Definitely recommend. read more

OMG the owners son is extremely LAZY. He just sits and lets the one server do everything. I get you get to act privileged but when you see her backed up and needing an extra hand get the F up and help out. Unfortunately, we won't be back. You don't get to act this way and act as if you are doing the community a favor when you're not! read more

El Hatuchay is located in the heart of North Hollywood, off Sherman way and cold water to be exact. They share a large parking lot with other surrounding businesses. My coworker and I decided to phone in our order ahead of our lunch time. We were quoted that it would be ready within 15 minutes. That's speedy service for you. We took our order to go, although the restaurant itself gave off cozy vibes internally. Decorated with flags from different countries. I ordered the "Lomo Saltado" which is a combo of white rice, strips of beef, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and French fries. This combo included an appetizer and I went with the "Papa a La Huancaina" it is Boiled potatoes topped with a creamy, spicy cheese sauce, garnished with olives and hard-boiled eggs. (note mine did not come with olives or hard-boiled eggs) For the Lomo Saltado: I really enjoyed the flavors of the sautéed onions, tomatoes, cilantro and the stripes of beef on top all sitting on french fries, wish it came with a little more meat. The juices that are released from the veggie and beef mix get absorbed by the French fries and so it elevates them, make sure to not let them sit for too long. They offer a larger plate with more meat, FYI. 4/5 very generous portions of white rice served along. For the Papa a La Huancaina: 3/5 the boiled potato went well with the creamy topping sauce. But mine did not come garnished nor a hardboiled egg in it. This is a cold dish-not hot but still delicious and different. overall, a decent peruvian restaurant near by, give them a shot next time you are around the area. read more

I've had El Hatuchay on my list for a while and finally checked them out. They are a lovely little Peruvian shop with quaint and vibrant decor. The staff were nice however they did get my companions order wrong even after double checking with us. However the food was excellent so we didn't mind. I ordered the Tallarines Verdes from the All Day Menu which came with a side of Papa A La Huancaina. I wasn't entirely sure outside of beef, spaghetti, and potatos what I'd actually be getting but it was all delicious. The Papa A La Huancaina was a chilled potato slice with a cheese sauce on top. I'm not the biggest fan of chilled potatos but this was delicious! For my main course I had the Tallarines Verdes, steak and pasta. It was fantastic. The steak was good and the pasta was delicious in a crema sauce with a hint of pesto it seemed. I loved it and made sure I saved some for leftovers which also remained delicious. I definitely recommend coming to El Hatuchay and I look forward to coming back and trying more off their menu. read more

Delicious, authentic and affordable Peruvian food. This has been our families staple restaurant for generations.

Solid Peruvian spot in the valley. Portions are generous, parking is easy, and staff is friendly. My go to is the Lomo Saltado(obvi). They leave the salsa at the table which I love and give you free bread for the table. (Which I cover in salsa cause it's so good) Had to leave a review because every time I come it hits the spot. read more

I've always frequented this restaurant for their lomo saltado but recently tried their pollo estofado. It is sooo comforting but my only gripe is that it cost $16.99 and it comes with only one piece of chicken.... I feel like 2 pieces of chicken would be more fair. read more

I love this place been coming here for a long time I always get the #14 it's so good with steak . It could easily feed 2 people

Great service , friendly staff. The food is fresh, flavorful & cooked to perfection I can't wait to go back to try other items on the menu Oh and the music is on point, great vibes overall read more

Amazing Peruvian food. Been coming here for over 15+ years. It's a must try. Great service and neighborhood restaurant.

Love the food I've gotten the lomo saltado very good love the green spicy. Very good food

I order cau cau , causa , tallarines verdes with steak and papa à la huancaina ,like always was so delicious and great service

I just came back from picking up an order of Lomo Saltado. Para mi sorpresa la comida no tiene sabor de nada, tiene unos 10 pedacitos de carne encima de una cama de papas (1 lb de papas ) y mucha cebolla lo cual está bien pero esta comida no vale el precio pues casi no tiene carne y no tiene sabor. Este ha sido el restaurante favorito de mis hijas y toda mi familia y creo que perdieron todo el negocio con nosotros, ahora entiendo porque estaba vacío. read more

I've eaten here a few times and what I just experienced was a FANTASTIC meal. The chicken was perfectly cooked, noodles were fantastic. Everything was so fresh. I can't wait to crave Peruvian again. read more

Salty as hell. Waitresses nice but food is not recommended . The ceviche was literally swimming in liquid.

We usually go to Mario's in Hollywood, and decided to give this place a try. WOW! Amazing! 5 stars definitely worth it. Staff were so inviting and great service. Will definitely come back!! read more

This was my first time trying this place and I got the chicharron de pescado con yuca and it was 1. Amazing and 2. A GIANT portion for 1 person and 3. It came with this little side salad of tomatoes onions cilantro and lemon/lime and it was the most refreshing thing I could not get enough. Everytime a new plate came out the kitchen to a different customer I was wowed and wanted to try it! It all looked so delicious. I will definitely be back! Side note: service was great, the guy at the front helped explain what the different foods were when I had questions. read more

My mom's co-worker recommended this place as having good Peruvian food. I was already skeptical about how it would be but I decided to give it a try anyway. Upon arriving, the restaurant is your typical NoHo/Van Nuys run downish type of place. Don't get me wrong sometimes those types of places have the best food. But not in this case. We got a complimentary basket of warm bread with butter and aji. 2 of the breads did not have butter on them and 1 did have butter on them. I thought it was weird that one had butter and the others did not so I did not eat it. We asked the waitress this and she said no we never put butter on it, we give it to you on the side... O_o...OK, then this must have been someone bread they were going to eat and it somehow got mixed in our basket. She brought us a new one. We then ordered a Lomo Salted and a Ceviche de pescado..The lomo salted had sooo many potatoes and the meat was not a great cut of meat nor was it cooked properly in the wok. The meat should really have a nice grilled taste to it and cooked on high heat. This felt like it was boiled. The sauce was also not right. The ceviche was not that great either. They did not have any aji picado to go with it...just the green saucy aji. It was served with white potato instead of sweet potato. They used regular corn instead of the big toothed Peruvian corn. You can find this easily. Was not impressed at all with the food and will not go back. read more

27$ for a lomo Saltado plate to go with 5 sauces and a grand total of 10 pieces of meat. What kind of portion is that. I Do not recommend.

Amazing food as always been going here for over 20 years! And I never gotten disappointed and I will recommend this place 100%

Its not the same anymore. Ceviche does not come w roccoto and when asked for extra..they brought me a nasty sauce that I had to make the waitress tried it..then she accepted it was not roccoto. It ruined my ceviche. This is the 2nd time the food is not the same and I've been coming here for over 30 years. Sad!​ read more

Quaint Peruvian place with all the typical dishes. Excellent service, very friendly staff. Our favorite dish was the pollo al vino and my son LOVED his chicha morada drink. The aji is on the picante side, so go easy at first! read more

The food was delicious!!!!!! I will definitely be coming back!!!! The service was nice. The restaurant had a beautiful Peruvian atmosphere!

My wife and I are quite well acquainted with Peruvian cuisine and were very impressed on our first visit to El Hatuchay. One great advantage is that there is a "menu" option everyday, which includes a main dish and your choice of an appetizer: bowl of soup with chicken and rice ("aguadito"), a slice cold potato+chicken layer pie ("cauza"), or the popular cold potato with creamy yellow sauce ( "papa a la huancaina"). We really enjoyed the soup and cauza but also were very pleased with the taste and generous portions of our main dishes: "tallarin saltado " (like the beef dish "lomo saltado" but served over spaghetti instead of rice) and a house specialty: fried filet of fish with potatoes over rice all bathed in a creamy buttery gravy sauce. Best of all, each meal was less than $16, which is an welcome surprise among Peruvian restaurants these days which are so overpriced. The service was attentive and we will definitely be back for another visit read more

The server very rude lady I am paying for my lunch I believe she brought me a disposable cup. Papa la la huancaina horrible taste taste to Ajinomoto with mozzarella very unpleasant lunch arroz chaufa dry and ok. Everything I spend 70.- no butter for the bread udon know why she brought bread if she does not bring butter does not make sense. I request an extra empty bowl and she brought me an old plastic burn bowl suppose to be in the trash read more

The food is good but can be too salty at time and skimpy. What I've learned is you order it to go for better portions. As for eating there the times I've been there the woman working as a hostess was rude and not polite at all. Also asking for extra bread and butter is like pulling teeth. Ambiance is typical of a first generation Hispano owned business with lots of music and random Latin American tv shows/news running. read more
