    5. Tallarin Verde DELICIOUS
    Tim B.

    We came in the evening, not too long before they closed and we were greeted with a very friendly " Please come in.". The inside was warm and inviting. And the gentleman who served us was very kind and welcoming. We ordered the arroz con mariscos and the tallarín verde with the beef. Both were outstanding.. The rice had just the right amount of seafood flavor in it and was cooked with calamari, a jumbo shrimp, some small shrimp, squid, and a mussel. Along with that it had corn and red onions inside and it was absolutely delicious. The tallarín had an amazing flavor and the beef was also seasoned very well and you could see that it was pounded out with a mallet to tenderize it even more. The two sauces that they give you to spice it up - both delicious and we found that the green one paired well with the rice, and the yellow one paired well with the pasta. Come try this place. It's a smaller Mom and Pop type place thatt makes amazing food. And it has great service.

    Lo mejor de lo mejor excellent service yo manejo una hora para deleitar esta comida tan rica

    Literally the only Peruvian restaurant that populated near Riverside. I'm a huge fan of Peruvian food, Mario's place on Melrose is the GOAT. Not gonna lie this spot did it for me, the food was solid, the green sauce wasn't on point or spicy. The ceviche was wonderful, as well as the portion sizes. I will be back to try other dishes.

    1. Lomo Saltado

    Delicious food, clean environment, service was quick and easy. I loved the food. I recommend the lomo saltudo.

    This is an awesome Peruvian place for Corona. I worked in (my opinion) THE BEST Peruvian restaurant in SoCal called El Pollo Inka (4 locations in LA County; Hermosa Beach is my favorite). This is what I rate the dishes i had here: Lomo Saltado 3.8/5, 1/2 chicken with rice and salad 3/5, Ceviche de Pescado 5/5, and sauces (ají and what looked like huancaina 2/5. The lomo was flavorful with decent meat and the rice for all dishes was great! The chicken I had was very dry and seasoning just not my favorite. The salad had no dressing and was old lettuce so I didn't even bother trying it. Ceviche was by far my favorite and I'd come back for that. It's a mom and pop place so don't expect a fancy, romantic restaurant. They have really good dessert options and I'm curious to try their soup as well so I'll definitely be back for more!

    I just want to say that this place has never turn me down. It's just delicious foods and customer service is always nice

    Papa a la huancaina

    Oh my goodness. This place is a GEM! I'm Peruvian and I know how dishes should taste and let me tell you.... After trading several Peruvian places in the area.. this is THE place. I am coming back and back and back... tastes like home I ordered online and went to pick up, we ordered ceviche mixto, arroz con mariscos, papa a la huancaina, ají de gallina and a big bottle of lucuma ice cream along some delicious sweets! we are all enchanted. Definitely a happy customer!

    Lomo Saltado $12.50 and Tallarin Verde $8 with medium rare steak +$4.50. Called for pick up and order was ready by the time we got there. This dinner was such a treat! They take credit card, which is a plus. They separate the dipping sauce so your food doesn't get soggy by the time you get home.

The Lomo Saltado had great flavor, though the beef was slightly overcooked. Still, the seasoning carried the dish. The fries were a standout--crispy and really well done. I was a bit let down by the fish. Since it came with chili, I expected more heat, but the chili sauce ended up being pretty bland. That was probably the weakest part of the meal. One surprise was the special: a stromboli at a Peruvian restaurant. It definitely caught me off guard, but it was actually really well made. I'm guessing they lean into some fusion here, which I'm totally open to. We wrapped things up with tiramisu, which was tasty and a nice way to end the meal--even if it added to the overall "eclectic" vibe. All in all, it's an interesting mix of flavors and styles. A bit unconventional, but worth trying at least once--maybe even again if you're in the mood for something different.

    authentic peruvian cuisine great / friendly service…read more family ambiance , do you feel at home

    Lovely Peruvian restaurant on Route 66. An older looking building from the outside but the interior…read moreis spacious, cheerfully decorated with an open, industrial feel. I was warmly welcomed by the friendly staff when I entered and was seated immediately. I ordered Cau Cau and a Pollo Saltado. The Cau Cau had tender pieces of honeycomb tripe cooked with potatoes, carrots, and peas in an aji amarillo sauce. There were julienne strips of spearmint throughout the stew which gave it a bright flavor. Steamed white rice and thinly sliced red onion marinated in lime juice were served along with the tripe. These were good accompaniments, especially the red onions which served as a palate cleanser. The aji amarillo sauce in the dish was very mild in flavor. The aji verde table sauce in a squeeze bottle turned out to be more creamy than spicy. Only a slight kick could be found there. All in all, the Cau Cau was still a delicious dish and perfect for those who prefer a less fiery heat experience. Pollo Saltado had tender strips of chicken breast sauteed with French fries, tomatoes, and red onions. The Saltado consisted mainly of French fries when compared with the quantity of meat and the other vegetables. The dish was also very salty. The chef should have been aware of the different level of saltiness between brands of soy sauce and used the ingredient judiciously. Chicha Morada had a good flavor and went well with the two dishes I ordered. I would have liked the beverage a little colder in temperature but that is just my preference. Service was polite and efficient. The food came out of the kitchen fairly quickly. The restaurant can accommodate larger parties of diners in their space. Parking is plentiful in their lot but the driveway is only accessible when driving East on Foothill Boulevard. It is also easy to miss the restaurant altogether so be sure to look for the Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man to guide you.

    I almost kept this to myself, but Lucho deserves to be reconciled …read more Listen to me closely, Rancho Cucamonga. We need to have a serious talk about the absolute wizardry happening right under your noses. ‍ I almost didn't write this review. I seriously debated gatekeeping this spot because I'm terrified that once you all find out about it, the line will be wrapped around the block and I'll never get a table again. But, my therapist tells me I need to be more "sharing," so here we are. This place is the definition of a Hidden Gem. And the man running the show? Lucho. We need to protect Lucho at all costs. Not only is he the owner, but he is also a culinary artist and arguably the one of the nicest human being in the Inland Empire. I have rolled in with a big party (don't ask, long day), and despite the space being on the smaller, cozy side, Lucho didn't blink. He helped us fit everything in like a game of Tetris. The place is spotless, by the way. You could eat off the floor, but please don't, because the plates are much better. A Warning/Disclaimer: If you are in a rush and need food in 3 minutes, go to a drive-thru. This is not fast food; this is fresh food. Everything is made to order. There are no sad heat lamps here keeping burgers warm since 10 AM. Relax, sit down, and wait. It is worth every single tick of the clock. Let's talk about the food (I'm getting emotional just typing this): The Lomo Saltado (The Star): I have eaten Lomo Saltado all over. But Lucho's? It's a flavorful experience. He cooks the steak to absolute perfection--tender, juicy, no chewing gum texture here. But the magic is in the seasoning and how it hits those fries and onions. It is worth every penny. I would pay double. Don't tell him that. Aeropuerto de Pollo (Chicken Fried Rice): I know, I know. You're thinking, "It's just chicken fried rice." WRONG. Stop it. It sounds crazy to rave about rice, but this dish is savory, smoky, and addictive. I planned to eat a few bites and take the rest home. I failed. I ate it all. The Chow Mein: Traditional? Yes. Boring? Absolutely not. There is a "minor twist" in the flavor profile that I can't quite put my finger on, but it makes the dish absolutely sing. It's out of this world. Mar y Tierra: If you can't decide between surf or turf, get this. It's the best of both worlds and plated beautifully. I love small businesses like this. You aren't just eating ingredients; you are literally tasting the love and hard work Lucho puts into the pan. It's rare, it's special, and it's delicious. Go visit Lucho. Tip him well. And tell him I said hi and to sing you a song.
