    Bistec a la pobre
    Ray Tito A.

    Place is simple the service a lil slow they were busy but still took time check on us when they had time. Friendly. Place clean mirrors fan tv. I came for the papa huancaina but they didnt have. I guess we will come back for that. Nice history with papa huancsina. Something to do eith building rail tryoad from Lima to Huanca. Got lomo soltado. A 10 yummy favors. The green sauce added more flavor. Wife got bistec a la pobre. Give it 8.5 yummy but the steak got hard in middle of eating still yummy. The ceviche mixto a 10 but theres a wow amazing flavor. Its simple flavor with the lime and spicy medium. But together with the corn and sweet potato. Fresh and just yummy. Have a nice day! Check out pictures

    Jalea
    Cynthia A.

    I had been wanting to try this place out for a while and finally made it happen. It was hard not to order 5+ dishes on their menu because everything looked so good!!! My family tried jalea, papas à la huancaina, and the lomo saltado. Everything was delicious and freshly prepared, the service was friendly, and the space was clean and family friendly. We already can't wait to come back.

    Chorizo Burrito

    I ordered the chorizo breakfast burrito and my husband ordered the bistec a lo pobre. I was craving a good breakfast burrito and man did they deliver! All the salsas had great flavor too there wasn't one I didn't like. The burrito was very filling. The tortilla was soft and chewy, chorizo had a nice spice, and plenty of potato, egg, and cheese was in each bite. There wasn't a price under the bistec a lo probre, so when it rang up over $20 we were shocked but still wanted to try it. Would we say it's worth $20? Kind of. There's a lot of rice and potatoes on the plate so you're filling up on a lot of carbs. The meat was a little chewy, but the plantains were our favorite part of the plate, nice and crispy edges just the way we like them! The restroom was pretty dirty, trash overflowing and needed a good cleaning. Lots of flies around too but I chose not to think about that too much haha the food was great. The service was amazing, the lady working the front was so sweet! Overall we enjoyed our visit here and we'll definitely be back!

    I got their lomo saltado since I've been craving it. The beef is moist and tender and the sauce was not too salty. The red onions and chopped tomatoes with the french fries absorbed the sauce well with the fluffy rice. The staff is nice, the parking can get packed.

    Carne Asada Taco and Al Pastor Taco

    I came to the shopping center for something else and noticed this place while driving out and decided to stop and saw it had good Yelp reviews so I decided to try it out! I ordered 1 carne asada taco and then 1 Al pastor taco and they were both delicious! The green salsa was also flavorful and tasty! These are probably my favorite tacos I've had in Temecula since moving here last year. The cashier was super friendly and spoke great English and Spanish. I ended up ordering a third taco even though the two were enough food just cause it was so good and I wanted another! The interior has a homey feel, not upscale but pleasant. I will definitely come back and I'm excited to try other dishes.

    What we ordered

    First time here and was very happy with the experience. Seems like a mom and pop shop and who seemed like the owners were very personable and accommodating. We came for the Peruvian food and ordered the lomo Saltado and the pollo saltado(white meat) along with the extra order of fried plantains and a large orange bang and we were set. No need to drive an hour away to find decent Peruvian and glad we found this restaurant place.

    Pollo saltado

    Very good Peruvian food, I got the Pollo saltado and it was very good. I would recommend and go there again

    Melina N.

    I love coming to La Choza. As a Bolivian, the Peruvian food is as close as I can get! I love their kindness and the sense of family that I get when I come. The portions are big, freshly made and so full of flavor!

    Used to be three taquitos, rice, beans, and lettuce . Now it's just a crime scene
    Laura N.

    I ordered the three taquitos combo today and it was so flavorful. The rice was bussin 5 big booms! As you can see in my photo, I really enjoyed my plate. Thank you again, and you will definitely be seeing me more.

    I been living and driving right by this place for over a year and again I didn't know it was there. But I found it!!!! Oh yes I did. It's delightful. The lady that took our order was so sweet. They cook the food directly when you walk in the door and it smells fantastic. My husband always has to try carne asada fries and I of course had the enchilada plate with chili rejenos with some beans and rice. I am not a huge rice fan but this rice was good. Like really good. Everything was super tasty and I really enjoyed the customer service and attentiveness. Try this place out it's worth it.

Okay ------ the food itself? Everything was GOOD. No complaints on flavor at all. But... this could've easily been a 5 star experience and there were some pretty big misses. Everyone in our group got their food... except me. About 20 minutes in, our server comes back and lets us know they're out of mushrooms for my vegan ceviche and asks what I want to do. I switch to tofu. Another 20 minutes goes by. At this point everyone is completely done eating, we're basically ready to ask for the check... and THEN my dish comes out. I will say, it was delicious and the presentation was beautiful but yeah, timing was a miss. On top of that, we had to ask about our drinks because they were forgotten for a while. So yeah.....amazing flavors, really fun spot, love the concept... but they've gotta tighten up the timing and communication. I'd still come back, just hoping for a smoother experience next time.

I make the best at home but it's quite labor intensive so to see they had it on the special! Yay! I can have it and don't have to cook!!! Most places all in the US doesn't get this dish right but yay, I enjoyed it! The large was plenty for my hubby and I to have a cup for lunch then the rest for breakfast the next day. I added their green sauce to give it a kick. So don't worry about it being spicy. It won't be. But if you want spicy they have rocoto (the red) or verde (green) sauce. Add that to your dish to give it that little kick. I don't like extra sweet so I ice down their chicha. Most ppl don't so enjoy it how you like it. The gift is you can alter the items to your liking. All you need is right there. Salt. Ice. Sauces. The causa is so delightful. And the ceviche is creamy jugó yumminess. So fresh. And refreshing. These two are offered together too! Which is who we enjoy them. Perfect dish on any occasion. The sweet potato makes it perfect. Hard to find good Yuka but each time it's great here and the green sauce is my favorite to pair with this appetizer. My husband's too. Clean place, plenty of room. Peruvian music. Decor. Always get to see friends and meet new friends here. Enjoy and happy Mother's Day.

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.
