    Amazing adorable Peruvian restaurant! I came 1/22/26 I got the lomo saltado service was quick and friendly. The food portions are not too large but good for one person. The flavor was really good and covered the fries, meat, onions. The meat was tender and easy to chew. It also came with a soup! Overall I would come again.

    Pollo con todo, loved this plate with a side of rotisserie chicken breast. Very flavorful a must have.

    This is what you consider a hole in a wall place. I love Peruvian food and this place didn't really capture it for me. My meat was not tender at all. It was disappointing. My gf's food was ok, she said. The worse part is that it was very pricey for this place. Service was good and everyone was pleasant.

    Saltado de Pollo
    L F.

    Came in on my lunch break to meet up with a friend. I ordered for both of us and was told I could sit anywhere. We ordered (2) Saltado de Pollo lunch specials and (2) papa relleno. They brought us chicken rice soup which was hot and perfect for the cold day. The saltado de pollo was absolutely delicious. I had a side of pickled onions which were the perfect touch. There was a problem with the papas but the lady behind the counter was quick to solve the problem and was very apologetic. Bummed we couldn't stay longer to enjoy because we had to get back to work. Service was great, food was delicious and I'll definitely be back to try other dishes.

    Tamal and onions  Tamal has no price listing and this is the combo/meal. No drink or rice and now beans or anything.

    The food: They didn't have what I wanted. Service: It wasn't great, it was awkward and made me feel like I was bothering them. Ambiance: awkward and cringey. I ordered a tamale and it was $13.50. You would think it must have rice and beans for that price, Noo it was only a tamale. No rice or beans. Way too overpriced I can go to el torito get the chicken fajita special for $10 or even the chicken enchilada for $10 or I can go to in-n-out and get the number one for about $12 bucks. Don't be an idiot like me and go to this place just to get ripped off. I paid 13.50 for a tamal and 3.50 for a canned Pepsi.

    Lomo saltado

    Super delicious and authentic Peruvian food. Usually get the lomo saltado and it's great. Flavors are deep and the green sauce is extra spicy here. The service is great and the lady working there is super nice.

    Food was delicious, I can't wait to go back and have the tallarin verde con bistec .. Kevin was amazing with the service. Prices are acceptable.

    The lamb was bone in but also fall off the bone tender. There was enough to share between two hungry females. They were so kind as to be patient with my mom's demands. It was wonderful to go into a cozy restaurant open for Christmas. They have Karaoke Fridays, Peruvian beers, and non-alcoholic drinks. They have French and Spanish wines. They do catering. There are some tasty looking vegetarian options. The space fits comfortably 45 people. Gracias. Feliz Navidad. Peruvian home cooking, the lamb reminded me of Filipino barbacua but it's good getting acquainted with Peruvian taste and culture. Their logo is so funny, it's a comic line drawing of a chicken, no doubt a specialty of the chef which I could tell from the aguadita, arroz caldo verde con pollo zanahorias y guisantes green soup of rice with chicken and peas and carrots. Their motto in Spanish translated means, "Here you're not clients, you're friends!" Really true. Made my Christmas, too. Check out their menu here, which doesn't include either their expansive spirits or juices libations. (234)

Aurora took great care of us! I had the outstanding horchata - big enough to share! My companions and I each got the superb chicken and waffles, which simply can't be beat. A little sweet, a little savory - the fried chicken breast is tender, crispy, crunchy perfection. We'll be back!

    The good: pancakes are actually pretty good. Can't complain…read more The bad: maple syrup tasted watered down. No maple flavor at all. Would have been better bringing my own bottle of Mrs. Butterworth. Service was weird and bad. Nobody came to greet us and offer water and take drink order for at least 5 minutes after seating. The servers, although polite, were not very friendly, quiet, not warm. The girl who brought out our food was creepy and quiet and barely spoke. Did not bring us utensils with food. My husband had to steal the utensils off the next table. The people working there don't seem happy. No music playing. The place is oddly quiet and dead, could only hear some conversations from nearby tables. Large tv playing Bob's Burgers just felt very empty and dead, no life. Almost $4 for a cup of coffee and they bring out the little mini moo creamers that have chemicals in them. I asked the server for some whole milk instead and it took forever to come. Save your money and time and just go to Eat At Joes in Redondo. That place actually has life and they know how to run a business.

Avoid ordering via DoorDash as the app charges additional fees. I placed a mobile order and picked it up at the Dog Haus Carson location. [Parking]: There's a designated parking garage, but it was surprisingly packed on Sunday morning and I barely found an available spot at 10 AM on Sunday. [Atmosphere & order]: Dog Haus Carson has three TVs, but all of them were showing a bluish display rather than true color. Customers can also place walk-in orders via a kiosk. [Menu]: Bad-Ass Breakfast Burritos serves breakfast burritos all day. According to DoorDash, the top three most-liked orders are the Haus Burrito, Bronco Burrito, and Wurst Burrito. *** Bronco Burrito (3 fresh eggs, smoked bacon, white american cheese, avocado, pickled jalapeños, crispy tater tots, cotija cheese & chipotle aioli wrapped in a flour tortilla then grilled - sunny side egg - $12.99): The bacon was a bit salty and the tortilla was mediocre. The fillings were good, but adding jalapeños felt like a questionable decision. Overall, it tasted too saucy for my liking and I didn't even touch the chipotle sauce that came on the side. *** This is one of those passable breakfast burritos you get because it is convenient and available all day. Personally, I am sticking to places like Phanny's or Brother's Burritos for breakfast burritos in the South Bay.
