Lomo saltado: 4.5/5
Maryjane L.

Been coming here for over a year now, and this is officially one of my top 2 favorite Peruvian spots in LA especially since it's way closer to me than my other go-to. The consistency here is also what keeps me coming back every time! I always order the lomo saltado (duh), and it never misses. The meat is super flavorful and juicy, and all those delicious juices soak into the fries and rice perfectly. The portion size is solid, but my boyfriend and I always end up getting our own plates anyway because we're kinda big backs lol. I usually call ahead and place my order for pickup, and it's ready in about 10 minutes, which is super convenient. Even though I haven't dined in yet, the inside always looks clean whenever I stop by, and the staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. If you're anywhere nearby and craving a good lomo saltado, I highly recommend giving this spot a try. It's been a go-to for me for a reason!

1/4 Chicken
Erik G.

I'm always craving good Pollo a la Brasa, but there aren't many places that do it well in the area. I usually have to go far out of my way. I had some free time and came here for a late lunch/early dinner. I remember reading mixed reviews. I often come to this plaza when I'm in the mood for a burrito from La Azteca. Since I was craving rotisserie chicken, that's why I came in. I was disappointed not to see chicken cooking on the fire and saw the oven empty and seemingly out of order - not a good sign. The server greeted me and asked where I'd like to sit. I sat by the television and window, but ended up people-watching. I wanted to order a half chicken, but the server checked with the kitchen and said they only had quarter chickens. That's kind of odd, since the restaurant's name is "a la Brasa". Another red flag. I ended up ordering the 1/4 Chicken with Rice and French Fries ($15.99). It was a pretty good deal, but when she totaled the bill, I saw $20.07 and asked about a service fee. The service charge was 15% and considered gratuity. I don't mind it, as I always tip 20%. The rotisserie chicken was pretty good, but not the best I've had. They serve it on a very large plate, which I felt was to make the portion seem larger than it was. The presentation was nice, with parsley sprinkled on the plate. The rice and French fries were good. The rice had a garnish of parsley and tasted like chicken rice. The fries were golden, perfectly cooked, and salted, served with ketchup. The chicken came with a green aji sauce that had a nice, mild spice. I asked for something spicier, and they brought out a habanero sauce, which was perfect. They don't give much of the aji verde sauce, and I used up both the aji verde and habanero. I was full after my meal and felt it was worth the price. I would definitely return. The service was attentive; my server checked on me a few times. The service charge seems appropriate, given the level of service.

Plantains

Proceed With Caution -- Serious Food Safety Concerns & No Follow-Up I visited Las Brasas on Friday around 5:30 p.m. with my boyfriend, hoping to try a new Peruvian spot. The restaurant was empty when we walked in. We asked for a rotisserie chicken and were told they had run out of whole chickens, yet somehow still had chicken for all other dishes. Odd, but we ordered plantains, cassava strips, chicken chaufa, tallarín saltado de pollo, and chicha morada. Our server Teresa was extremely sweet and polite -- no issues with her at all. When I asked about the automatic 15% gratuity, she was kind but couldn't say much; that's clearly an owner decision. The food itself raised concerns. The chaufa was a huge mound of soggy rice with very little chicken and none of the typical ingredients. My tallarín came with a thick, unusually dark sauce that tasted extremely sweet with a bitter aftertaste -- not the traditional flavor profile I've known and cooked for 25+ years. After two bites, I stopped eating. The bill came to almost $93, including a mandatory 15% gratuity added even for a party of two, which is highly unusual. Within about an hour and a half of eating, I developed stomach cramps that progressed into diarrhea and nausea that lasted through the weekend -- all while I was preparing for surgery on Monday. My boyfriend ate some chicken too, so it wasn't the chicken. It was the sauce. I had only eaten an egg sandwich earlier that day, so there was no other food source. On Saturday, I called the restaurant to report what happened. Teresa answered and said she would pass my information to the manager, Sandra, but she almost hung up before asking for my number. I never received a call back. It is now Wednesday -- still no follow-up. As someone who works in food safety, this lack of response is extremely concerning. Because they failed to contact me, I will be filing a report with the local health department so they can inspect and ensure guest safety. If you choose to dine here, please proceed with caution. Maybe others have had good experiences, but something was not right with the food I was served, and the silence from management speaks volumes. Guests deserve better.

Arroz Chaufa
Boris M.

Las Brasas Peruvian Food is a clean, inviting, and quiet spot--great for a Sunday evening meal. The atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable, with friendly service. We tried the Lomo Saltado, which had good quality meat but leaned a bit more on the sweeter side than expected. The Arroz Chaufa came with shrimp, chicken, and beef--a generous portion overall, though slightly on the dry side. Their green sauce, however, really brought everything together--bright, flavorful, and a perfect complement. Worth noting: a 15% service charge is already included in the posted prices.

Great food and great service here for lunch. The restaurant was clean and inviting. I got the Salchipapas de camarones. It was tasty and very good.

I have been to the restaurant before and I remember the flavor and quality being better. Unfortunately, todays Lomo Saltado wasn't as good as I remember! The flavor was not Peruvian, it had too much vintager taste. Annnnnnd to my surprise, the 15% tip is forced on to the client... their loss, I usually tip 20%. Also, I loss my interest to tip more just by seeing it already assigned to the bill.

TALLARINES SALTADOS!
Lewis Y.

I became a regular after the first time trying this place that I never knew existed. Only reason I heard of this place is because someone that worked there left a couple of flyers at work. With that being said.. I've tried 3 dishes here that I cannot get enough of. TALLARINES SALTADOS, LOMO SALTADO & SALCHI PAPAS WITH SHRIMP... AMAZING and definitely recommended. Extra green sauce is a must as well. I have to try the rotisserie but I'm pretty sure it's good, but it's hard to try something else when you have your mind always set on those 3 dishes

Lomo saltado
Kelly L.

Came here for a quick lunch, service was friendly and nice. Got the lomo saltado. The flavors were good. The green sauce wasn't very spicy or flavorful like other places. We also got a red hot sauce which was better but not super spicy.

Dani S.

Service was very nice and attentive. Food was ok. Small portions for the price. Came here for dinner one night and the place was not very busy. Got the Lima salado and a wrap to share. The wrap was good, the Loma salado just didn't have much meat or veggies, mostly fried and rice. Lacking substance. Probably won't go out of my way to come back.

Lomo Saltado (No fries)
Sayuri B.

Noticeably clean, smells good inside like home cooked food. I had the lomo saltado without fries. I've got to say the sauce is definitely on point. I enjoyed every bite. Also ordered: Tajin de Camarones. 8-10 Fried Plantains 10-10 freshly made. (Wish they had crema but I guess that's a salvo thing. For drinks we had the marcuya wish they had the seeds in it but still very tasty. Green house sauce is nice and spicy loved it. Waitress was kind and kitchen was fast.

misty m.

The food was ok but this place left a bad taste in my mouth with the hidden "service charge" of 15% that they add to your order on your receipt! Once we paid with tip, we paid a much higher amount and felt scammed. Although we enjoyed our meal ok, and have honestly been to better Peruvian places, we won't be coming back due to the shadiness of their fees.

Lomo Saltado and tallarin in the back

So bomb. Huge portion of Lomo Saltado to go compared to other places. Delicious and authentic taste. My new favorite Peruvian restaurant.

Dry lomo Saltado

Disappointed! Prefers a lomo extra juicy since they don't put enough of the sauce Ordered extra juicy and it's like I asked to make it dry ....

I've had these photos sitting in my camera roll for quite some time, and I kept telling myself,…read more"I'll leave a review soon." When I finally logged into Yelp to do just that, I was genuinely saddened to see that this place has since closed. It honestly broke my heart, because this was one of those dining experiences that truly stayed with me. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was stunning--beautiful rooftop vibes, warm energy, and a space that immediately made you feel like you were about to experience something special. The food itself was absolutely phenomenal. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully executed, beautifully plated, and bursting with flavor. You could taste the care, creativity, and intention behind each bite. The Peruvian inspiration throughout the menu was both authentic and elevated, striking the perfect balance between comfort and sophistication. One of the most memorable parts of the experience was the chef herself coming out to introduce herself. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and passionate. You could tell she truly poured her heart into her food. She took the time to explain the inspiration behind the dishes, and it made the entire meal feel even more meaningful. That level of personal touch is rare and so appreciated. Looking back at these photos now just reminds me how special this place was. Delicious food, a talented and thoughtful chef, and an overall experience that left a lasting impression. It's such a shame this spot is no longer around, because it truly deserved all the love and recognition. If the chef ever opens another concept, I will absolutely be first in line. Thank you for such a memorable meal--this is one I won't forget.

Food was great. I ordered one drink: PISCO PAINKILLER and it was all foam, ice, and only 3-5 sips…read moreof the drink itself. Not worth it for only a few sips. It was cashless payment. I just saw my receipt and there are all these up charges: 1% service charge, 4% benefits surcharge, and another charge to use the cashless Sunday platform fee of $1.49, plus automatic gratuity, in case you didn't know and you tip on top of that. For the quinoa beet salad and a drink it was almost $60, not worth the meal but it was a cute rooftop place to try out.

It's better to come right around when they open to escape the lines. Doesn't matter when you come, people will come in drones to eat this delicious food. They do a tasty Lomo Saltado ($22.75) and the portion size is MASSIVE, it could easily be shared among two people. I ate the whole thing and immediately entered a food coma and my belly was smiling..I swear. They bring a complimentary hot dinner roll with butter before they bring you your dish. The green aji verde is spot on, it's spicy, but not overly spicy and it has great flavor. Prepare to cover your food with this delicious sauce. I will definitely be back for Lomo Saltado and to try other dishes. FYI, There's a 3.5% charge for using a credit card, so pay cash and a save a bit.

The food was dry, and their green sauce smothered on it. I like spice, but it was way too much to where nothing else flavor. The location has limited parking on the corner of a busy highway. The inside is relitively big for the location. Will never come back. Don't recommend. Not worth the trouble

ROSTY - Authentic Peruvian Flavors in the Heart of Highland Park!…read more Our second visit to Rosty was just as impressive as the first: delicious Peruvian cuisine, great prices, a welcoming atmosphere, and outstanding service. The pollo a la brasa came with crispy fried yuca, plátanos fritos, French fries, salad, and refreshing chicha morada. Their maracuyá is another excellent drink option. The three house sauces, including ají verde and ají amarillo, are flavorful, well balanced, and clearly made with care. The lomo saltado was another highlight, featuring properly prepared, tender beef and savory juices that brought the dish together. I also loved the pan con chicharrón, with flavorful pork, fried sweet potato, fresh salsa criolla, and perfectly textured bread that absorbed the juices without becoming heavy. As a chef with over 20 years of experience preparing Peruvian cuisine, I appreciate Rosty's attention to ingredients, preparation, balance, and authentic flavor. It's a neighborhood gem that honors Peruvian food and culture while providing warm hospitality. Highly recommended--we'll definitely be back! ¡Gracias por todo, Rosty! ¡Nos vemos pronto!

From the moment I placed my order, the experience felt unwelcoming. The gentleman (stocky-Asian like, wearing a mask) who took my order was neither particularly friendly nor helpful, which wasn't a great first impression. Things became even more frustrating when my family and I sat at an empty table while waiting for our food. We had been seated for approximately five minutes when an employee approached us and stated, "This table is for the people who came before you." Not wanting to create an uncomfortable situation, and seeing the other family standing with their plates in hand, we politely got up and gave them the table, but I was thinking this pace needs a better process. I did mention to the employee that if the restaurant has a specific seating policy, there should be a host or someone clearly managing the seating arrangements to avoid confusion. To put things into perspective, the restaurant has a very casual, fast-food-style atmosphere, similar to El Pollo Loco. It's the type of establishment where customers would naturally assume they can sit at any available table. There was nothing to indicate otherwise. Overall lack of hospitality, communication, and customer service. A little friendliness and professionalism can go a long way, especially when welcoming first-time customers. Unfortunately, I left with a bad impression rather than a memorable dining experience. Based on the service and atmosphere alone, I would not recommend this restaurant to others. A restaurant doesn't have to be upscale to make its guests feel welcome. Good hospitality should be part of the experience, regardless of the setting.
