I've been loyal to the Higo family restaurants for years, so my recent experience was really disappointing. I ordered multiple dishes for takeout, including tallarín saltado de carne, lomo saltado, tallarín verde, and chaufa, and right away it was clear something was off, their signature flavors were missing. One of the first things I noticed was the use of fettuccine noodles in both the tallarín saltado de carne and tallarín verde, even though the menu still depicts spaghetti noodles. Had I known they switched noodles, I would not have ordered them. The texture is completely wrong for these dishes and it sucked up all the sauce. The chaufa de carne was bland. The ají verde sauce was also noticeably different and lacked its usual kick. Across all dishes I ordered, the beef was tough and roughly sliced, nothing like the tender beef I'm used to here. I checked their website afterwards and found it's no longer active. Between the disappointing food and the inactive site, it feels like this location may have changed management or ownership again. I'm sad to say I won't be returning to this location. read more

I ordered the arroz chaufa de camarones; they definitely don't skimp on the shrimp. My meal was delish, rice cooked perfect, no mush at all...The perfect amount of red pepper and onions totally complimented this dish! We were immediately greeted by the hostess which immediately seated us.. I ordered and within 8 minutes my piping hot dish was served.. The establishment is well decorated with cool artwork and the location has a locals vibe.. Definitely be back soon to try more dishes! read more

Located in the super busy plaza juxtaposed to the dead PH mall across the street, Higo Peru is a great place to get some casual Peruvian food. We actually came here during the summer when our Norwegian friend was visiting and he's never had this kind of food before, especially Peruvian sushi. Great dish to try especially since he's a bit of a weeaboo dude too. Service was super friend and inviting, all smiles and our food came out decently quickly too. We had to kill some time here before linking up with our other friend and I am glad to say that this is a TCG friendly place since my brother and friends opened up their MTG packs and booster boxes and played a bit here and didn't get any dirty looks or encouragement to leave and open up a table. There were a couple other customers there too, but enough seating to go around when we went. During our visit, since we were going out to eat again, we got 2 of their rolls and they don't skimp out on the sauces, filling and ingredients. We also got their lomo saltado, delicious fries and went great with their famous green sauce. I'm not sure if it's still on the menu, but we got the Papa a la huancaina which is boiled potatoes with egg and a creamy sauce on top. Yummy and the presentation on the soup spoons made it a pretty fancy presentation and easier to eat in a bite. I need to go back here again! read more

Great experience being a first-timer, leaving a good first impression. Our server was very attentive and would always come to check on us every so often. Casual setting, lots of chairs and tables, music not too loud, enough to engage in conversation. Food is really good! Ordered the following: #40 YUQUITAS FRITAS: cassava fries, comes in thick slices, the sauces are a good compliment. #36 TALLARIN VERDE CON POLLO ALA CHICKEN KATSU: creamy basil flavor is very generous, leaving a happy palate, chicken well cooked, lightly battered. 10/10 20# ARROZ CHAUFA DE MARISCOS: the flavor hit the nail on the head, delicious seafood fried rice, very generous in seafood portion Definitely returning! read more

I love the Higo brand of Peruvian Japanese fusion so decided to give this place a try. However I think they've changed ownership a few times. Ordered the chaufa, tallarin saltado with carne. The chaufa was good, had the smokiness of the wok and it was a huge portion. The tallarin saltado was too salty to eat on its own and the beef was not very tender. Service was fast and prompt, our food also came out pretty quickly. read more

This place is so good ! It was my very first time trying peruvian food ever and i was blown away! We got the lunch special and it was so affordable honestly it was such a steal. We got a full plate plus a side of soup! I would def come back and come during the lunch times. It wasn't busy at all when we went. The food came out really fast! read more

Higo Peru - Saltado De Pollo - Peruvian Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

I've passed this place many times and finally stopped in. You're greeted and seated once soon as you enter the location. There's plenty of seating in a welcoming atmosphere. As the music plays you get comfortable and peruse the menu. Our server made a couple suggestions and provided us with the Peruvian salsas, one green and one red. Remember this is Peruvian, it sounds different, but it's truly amazing. Not long after we had Saltado de Pescado and Tallarín Saltado de Camarón. Now you ask what is this ? The Pescado appeared somewhat similar to having fajitas and white rice. I promise you it was far from that as the flavors are completely different. The pescado was light and refreshing. When accompanied by the veggies and Peruvian sauce it was a symphony for the taste buds. Tallarín you ask ? Some may compare its appearance to shrimp chow mein...but once again, it is not. The noodles are tender yet not overcooked, the shrimp are abundant and plump. When paired with the sauce and the occasional addition of the red and green salsas it's a palate pleaser. This meal was completely enjoyable and I look forward to returning and enjoying this culinary delight once again. read more

There's not a lot of Peruvian restaurants near us, so we were excited to try this out. It's an easily missed store sandwiched between a couple of other restaurants, all tucked away in a bustling plaza. We came just before the dinner rush and noticed there was a lone server working as host, server, and cashier. Despite being clearly overworked, she handled it all with a calm, friendly demeanor. If you're coming during peak hours, patience is your best dining companion. They provided a complimentary cup of toasted cancha (corn nuts), which had a crunchy, salty bite. It was the perfect snack to hold us over as we waited on our meal. They also brought out two sauces: a creamy, herby aji verde with a gentle kick and a mystery orange sauce (rocoto?) that packed some heat I wasn't expecting. For drinks, we got diet Inca Kola (a rare find!) that had its iconic bubblegum sweetness and Maracuyá (passionfruit juice) which was tart and tropical. For entrees, we ordered: Lomo Saltado: This classic stir-fry of beef, sautéed onions, and tomatoes, served with fries and rice, hit all the right notes on flavor. The beef was a bit tougher than expected, which took away from the otherwise comforting dish. Pescado a lo Macho: A fried fish fillet topped with seafood in a creamy, aji amarillo sauce. This one leaned a bit too salty for my palate, but the mussel on top was surprisingly tender and packed with flavor. If you like briny flavors, this might be your dish. For dessert, we ordered Helado de Lúcuma (I was hoping for alfajores, but they were out). The flavor was mild, almost earthy-sweet, topped with chocolate syrup and whipped cream. After a few bites, I noticed this wild yam-like aftertaste which was unexpected, but not unpleasant. Higo Peru offers an authentic, homey taste of Peruvian cuisine. It's not without its imperfections, but the soul of the food and the effort of the staff more than make up for it. read more

Higo has changed ownership over the last few years. It is much nicely painted and decorated inside with a very friendly staff. My husband and I came here a few times. I forgot to take a picture of their delicious lomo saltado. We also tried their lunch specials which are also very filling. It's a good Peruvian place to try. read more

I haven't been back in so long, so was pleasantly surprised that they've turned into a sit down restaurant; however service and taste were still good. We were hungry, so the 2 of use ordered 5 items and only finished 1. The fried seafood was huge, and was still pretty good even as takeout the next day, as were the sweet potato fries. The plantains were a delight and we enjoyed both the entrees. read more

Food is ok, service is ok. I ordered Saltado de Mariscos, it's $23 and has 4 small pieces of tiny shrimps, 2 ounces of squid and two clams. I was expecting a richer plate with more seafood. It's definitely filling since it has rice and fries but the flavor is bland. The server is nice but slow, she's on her phone while a customer is trying to get her attention. The place isn't busy yet it's just before the dinner rush. Overall a mediocre experience I've been wanting to try Peruvian food for a long time. I'll try the food again but somewhere else. read more

Higo Peru - PESCADO A LO MACHO - Peruvian Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

A nice variation from the concentration of Asian especially Chinese cuisine in the local area. Owner was very nice. Checked on all the customers to make sure everyone was happy. Gave us alfajores to try. The prices seem a teensy bit high but the quality was there so I felt it was still woth it on the whole. I really liked the Arroz Chaufa con Mariscos. The dish is influenced by Chinese immigrants in Peru so I feel it's applicable to say I tasted the "breath of wok" or "wok hei" that's highly regarded in fried rice. I like my Lomo Saltado saucy and this fit the bill. Fried Fish with the Tallerin was also fried perfectly. I've only had a few Peruvian meals so I cannot speak on the authenticity but all I know is it tasted great and I would definitely visit again when I'm in the area. read more

Review Visit that restaurant on Saturday, 9/27, approximately 6 p.m. 1) The restaurant is aesthetically pleasing and clean. 2) Maria, our waitress, was extremely professional and helpful. She was always checking on our food and taking care of our tables. Excellent service. 3) About the food: Lomo saltado was excellent. Tallarin Saltado: It was incredibly nice and flavorful Arroz Chaufa: IT WAS SO BAD, TASTE SWEET LIKE SOMEONE PUT SUGAR OR SWEET FLAVOR ON THE RICE THAT WAS NOT ARROZ CHAUFA. WE ALL ON THE TABLE TASTE IT AND IT WAS SO BAD WE ENDED UP RETURNING THE PLATE. ABOUT THE SERVICE: " Brandon" is the worst waiter and will bring a negative reputation to the restaurant. We requested for two glasses of water and he ignored us; the second time we asked for two glasses of water, he did not deliver the glasses; and finally, the third time I asked, "Can you get us water, please?" why are you ignoring us ? "BRANDON, RESPOND TO US!! I AM NOT YOUR WAITER!!! (KEEP IN MIND THE RESTAURANT WAS EMPTY; THERE WERE ONLY 6 OF US AND 1 GUY ALONE ON A TABLE AND A COUPLE THAT JUST ARRIVED) he was doing nothing but walking around there were not customers and it was empty the restaurant for this Employee to not give us water!!!! BRANDON: NEVER brought us two cups of water, and he was upset that we had requested for water by saying "NO IM NOT YOUR WAITER," he gave us bad attitude, and rolling his eyes. while the other poor girl, Maria, was running around taking orders and serving our table. This water, Brandon!!! IS NOT A TEAM PLAYER TO SAY THAT TO CUSTOMERS MAKES YOU NEVER WANT TO RETURN!! THIS PERSON PROVIDED HORRIBLE SERVICE. We are regular customers. WE GO INTO THE RESTAURANT TO SUPPORT SMALL BUSINESSES AND ORDER FOR PICK-UP EVERY TIME!! Employees like Brandon can lead to customer loss due to their lack of skills and failure to assist others in completing orders efficiently. I continued to observe him, and he is not a team player. A TERRIBLE ATTITUDE BY ONE EMPLOYEE CAN DRIVE YOUR BUSINESS AWAY. ONE THING I KNOW I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK TO THIS RESTAURANT AGAIN !! I DONT NEED THAT TYPE OF WAITER MAKES US FEEL BAD. read more

Wanted to try some Peruvian food ever since I went to Peru. We always saw the sign, but decided to pop in. No beer or wine, or sugar free ice tea, settled on water, but they do have Inca cola and passion fruit drinks. I ordered the #28 Saltada de pollo which was a huge portion, with rice. My guy ordered the tallarin saltado with noodle #29. Both were very tasty. Hopping little place, service was good and the atmosphere was a little fast foodish, but we ate in. Will try again.. read more

Upon arrival, we were greeted enthusiastically and sat right away.their ají verde is good! Didn't take a picture of the 3-4 cups of ají verde on the entrees bc it was that yummy, ate it UP. The saltados were super yummy and flavorful. I had left overs of this dish and it was even better two days later (left at work :( smh ) !!! I cannot wait to come back dine here. Their Lucama was enjoyable to me but I just don't appreciate the chocolate drizzle on top. The restaurant is very nice and put together well. We were amazed by the art on the walls. When we left, they were so nice when saying farewell ! Thank you for the yummy food & wonderful service (: read more

Okay I've been here when it was Higo Express and this is way better! Food quality is solid. Portions are huge. Price is decent given said portions. Squid very tender, shrimp moist, beef not dry. Dare I say this place is better than my OG spot, Mr. Pollo? The staff was also super friendly. May have been the owner of owner's daughter? My birthday is in a month and I already told my family we're coming back here! read more

Came here during lunch as I work around the area. Was looking for a place to eat and since I'm a fan of Peruvian food, especially Lomo Saltado, I found this spot. Located in a big strip mall, place wasn't hard to find. As you walk in, the decor is nicely lit and decorated well. Was able to get seated right away so good there wasn't a wait. There were just a few tables opened up though. Had to order their Lomo Saltado. It was pretty good. Not to say it wasn't good but I've had better though. It was juicy which I like. Don't like it dry so that was a plus. They did warn you about the green sauce which is why they give you a little first. However, you can ask for more if it's not that spicy for you. Service was good and staff were nice. Will probably come back to try their other dishes here. read more

The food was phenomenal, best in Rowland for sure! Not only that, my girlfriend has a shrimp allergy and they were so patient, kind and thorough with making sure we got the best food we can given her allergy. Even gave us a free ice cream because we waited patiently (which we weren't even waiting that long!). Very clean, very bright and lively! read more

Higo Peru - Lomo Soltado - Peruvian Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Nice hidden gem in a small plaza near the mall located across street. Plenty of parking available but it can get crowded quickly. Service is very courteous and the food came out fast. Lomo saltado is prepared like back in the days, the original style, with all things mixed together, and not with the fries on the side like it's done now in many places nowadays. Prices are very affordable and portions are very generous so bring the whole family. My favorite dish was definitely their Lomo Saltado but I wouldn't skip their Jalea as an appetizer to share because the portions are too large for one or even four people. The noodles with shrimp was tasty too and it's absolutely a dish for sharing as well, they don't hold back on their servings so be prepared to get your belly full ;) read more
