Lola's Peruvian in Glendale was an excellent experience from start to finish. I ordered the Conchas a la Parmesana and the Lomo Saltado, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The Conchas a la Parmesana were cooked perfectly tender scallops topped with a rich, creamy parmesan sauce that was full of flavor without being overwhelming. The Lomo Saltado was just as satisfying: juicy, well-seasoned beef stir-fried with onions and tomatoes, served with crispy fries and fluffy rice. Classic, authentic, and done right. Service really stood out as well. The staff was attentive, friendly, and fast, making sure everything came out promptly and that we were well taken care of. Shout out to Brandon for the great service! The restaurant itself is clean, well-organized, smells great, and has a warm, inviting ambiance that makes you want to stay and enjoy your meal. Highly recommend Lola's Peruvian in Glendale if you're looking for amazing food and top-notch service. read more

I can see why the reviews here are declining steadily. We ordered three of the same meal, waited 30 minutes for the first one , another 30 minutes for the rest of us to eat . This is not the Lola's I knew and loved read more

What a nice surprise! Lola's is really fantastic! I had the Yuca frita a la huanciana. It was somewhat crunchy on the outside and topped with a delicious huanciana yellow chili sauce. So good! I'm vegetarian so I had the chupe campestra soup. It's an amazing vegetable chowder. The ambiance is very comforting, casual and lovely. Definitely have gone back several times due to the cravings! read more

This is for Doordash so I can only describe the food which was outstanding! My favorite Peruvian dish is Aji de Gallina and Lola's made is to perfection! So much I could not finish, though I tried! Such a creamy sauce, so much chicken and the perfect spice. OMG. When I am here I am ordering this every time! I topped this off with the crocante de lucuma which I had never tasted before. I LOVE finding new things and this one made the best of this year... Just think, a butterscotch flavored fruit that is fibre rich and good for you made into a mousse pie! HEAVEN! Definitely suggest you try this amazing dessert! Loved this meal! read more

I ordered the quinoa cau-cau and my friend and I shared the platanos fritos with my friend. The fried plantains were fairly standard, but the cau-cau was a-m-a-z-i-n-g. I have never had cau-cau before but I was absolutely delighted by my meal. The flavor was amazing (the balance of spices was on point) and the meal was incredibly light. I loved the combination of vegetables with quinoa as well. 10/10 recommend. Price is medium-tier but the portion size was pretty good and kept me full for a good while. Staff were kind and food was prepared quickly. read more

Lola's Peruvian Restaurant - Quinoa cau-cau and fried plantains. Delicious. - Latin American Near Me - Glendale, California

Lola's has been on my bookmark for a while now, so I was really excited to try it with my friend today. Lola's is in the heart of Brand Ave. And as soon as you go inside, it's definitely a vibe. We started with bread and the ceviche mixto. It was light and refreshing. I ordered the Lomo Saltado and she ordered Saltado de Camarones. Both were delicious, but I do wish they had a little bit more protein and gave more "green" sauce. The service was good. Just a little tip for you, there are plenty of parking in the back at a private lot or you can look for parking in front of the restaurant. Just a warning... If you don't have your front license plate, you will be ticketed... Everyone in front of the restaurant up and down the street, got a fix it ticket for the front license plate. Me included which kinda ruin the lunch for me! read more

Delicious food. The best Peruvian restaurant in Los Angeles. Great service. I really love this place. I highly recommend this restaurant.

It was my first time eating peruvian food and i definitely love it. The service was great!

This was a perfect lunch stop. Amazing quality food. I had been craving lomo saltado and this place beyond exceeded expectations. The beef was wonderfully tender and the veggies charred so nicely. Rice and Milanesa de pollo also perfect. And the Peruvian Pilsner was actually seriously tasty even off the bottle. Would 1000% reorder. Wonderful service and really nice ambiance. Thank you very much. read more

If in Glendale this is a great little stop for authentic Peruvian food. The food was delicious and the service was great. We even had a gentleman singing on a Friday night and to our surprise a robot delivered our meal. Nice spot, will definitely go back read more

The food is over priced for my taste; it was very salty. The service and the ambiance was just okay. I don't think I will be a second time for me. read more

Firstly, I wish this place had more business because the food quality that they had a the indoor vibes of this restaurant deserves more attention. I haven't had much Peruvian food before, and I'm so glad that I was able to try this restaurant. I ordered the beef saltado and it was cooked to perfection, I just wish for my own personal preference was more sauce to pair with the rice. The server was excellent and always checked in on us which was definitely nice. Overall, I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant to try more items on their menu read more

This is a cute little find in Glendale! My friend and I stopped in last night for dinner and they had a trio playing live music. We both started with pisco sours and they were great! Really well done! They serve you a basket of bread sticks to begin. The breadsticks are warm and fluffy! They come with 2 different sauces, and one was a typical salsa, one was more creamy. I really liked the creamy option. My friend ordered the Cau Cau with pollo and she said she really liked it. I ordered the picante de mariscos. It was good! It had a variety of seafood. I will say, there wasn't much spice at all and I felt it could use a tad more flavor. But it was still a solid dish. Our waitress was attentive and the food was served relatively quickly. Overall, it was a fun experience and I would definitely come back! They have a great looking menu! read more

We ordered takeout for dinner from Lola's during a quick overnight stay in Glendale. It appeared closed from the outside, and we almost went to another place. Fortunately, another group decided to open the door and when I realized they were open, we followed suit. The staff was welcoming and helpful. After briefly looking over the menu, we ordered the following: Yuca Frita a la Huancaina $18 Seafood saltado $29 Lomo saltado, beef $29 We took our meals to the hotel and immediately dug in. I was pleased to see that the portions were generous, especially since they're on the pricey side IMO. My seafood saltado came with a good amount of seafood and the sauce was flavorful. My son also devoured his lomo saltado with no complaints. I only had a few bites of the yuca frita, but it was also delicious. Lola's was a great pick for dinner! read more

This place has been in Glendale for a long time. I was not particularly enthused by the corn and the scallop appetizer. They were okay. The lucuma desserts were better. Unique flavor, difficult to find elsewhere in the city, not in-your-face sweet. Might be an acquired taste for some, but I think it's a good selling point for the restaurant. What did impress me was the ribeye steak with onions. Geez Louise, this is a tender, juicy steak that rivals Damon's across the street and Bourbon Steak down the road. It's that good, and it's the cheapest of the three! Seriously, the price is excellent! Do not sleep on this place. They deserve your support for the steak alone! Please support Lola's! read more

I have a usual Peruvian food spot where I live. I've tried so many, but this is the first spot that gives my spot a run for its money. If you're in the area, definitely stop in. read more

First ever Peruvian restaurant- loved it. Ceviche de pescado was amazing, fresh and lemony. Chose medium spiciness level which was not spicy at all. Also ordered Marachuya which is a purple corn sweet drink, really resembled sangria and was good as well. The ambiance was great, around 6pm on a Friday a live band started playing beautiful music. Very romantic for a date ;) Service was quick and courageous. Highly recommended! read more

Food is well prepared with generous portions. Service is good and the music, on Fridays and Saturdays is absolutely magnificent.

Every dish & drink is delicious. Best eatery in Eagle Rock. Only problem the restaurant is not big enough to accommodate the faithful customers. Parking is terrible & will get worse when Metro starts construction. Owner & investors should think about buying the old Ernie's Taco House. read more

Lola's is a Peruvian restaurant in the heart of Glendale. The ambience is great! And it's a great 1st date place to go. The food is good and highly recommended.

We had a reservation at 6:30. We walked in and noticed 4 or 5 tables seated... but noone had food or drinks. We waited at the front and the 2 women working by the bar saw us, but didn't acknowledge us at all. We waited a few minutes then left. We're patient people, but we need to be acknowledged as human beings. This is Glendale and its expensive to live here; you don't treat people like that. If your customer service is bad, then it's just downhill from there. read more

Ambiance is nice and cozy. The food is delicious. We ordered Loma saltado, arroz san marsicos, and the calamari. Everything was good. The Loma saltado is my favorite topped with their infamous green sauce, but I noticed that there was less meat. The arroz san mariscos is ok. The service is good, and they are attentive. The food is a bit pricey. Looks like their prices have increased. read more

The service and ambiance were lovely. The food is amazing. We can't wait to go again!

Got here around 6pm on a Tuesday and there are plenty of seats! Ordered: 1. Yuca Frita A La Huancaina: this is the first time I had yuca this way and I really like it! The huancaina sauce that goes along with it is mild but tasty! 2. Calamar Frito: the calamaris are super crispy but would like it more if the sauce that comes with it has a little bit of an extra flavor. 3. Tallarin Saltado: just like regular saltado but rice and French fries are replaced with pasta instead. The beef is so tender and marinated really well! Really like the sauce since it's so flavorful but it is slightly on the saltier side. They also provided bread which were right out of the oven with butter and two other sauces. read more

A pleasantly underrated surprise! As a Glendale native & first-timer, I have to say that Lola's might be one of Glendale's best-kept secrets. Such a delicious & unique menu - I'll be back again for sure. I had a lovely dinner with my parents tonight at Lola's & everything we tried was 10/10: starting with the bread, this + rice are a must if you plan to order any of the soups or stews for getting the most out of savoring all the flavors. The bread also comes with a couple special buttery dips that pack a flavorful punch of herbs & spices. The next 5 items we ordered, I'd have to say - I consider them all musts (1) Parihuela - if you are a Cioppino snob, or even just a lover of seafood, the flavor of this broth alone will knock your socks off. If I had to pick a favorite dish, it'd be this (while very close.) (2) Tallarin Saltado de Carne - I was initially skeptical of a linguini pasta sauteed with beef strips & soy sauce, but it was completely awesome, with honestly enough pasta for 1.5-2 people! (3) Cau Cau - hard to describe but a chicken stew with peas, potatoes, & turmeric with a curry sensibility - very delicious & ideal with rice. (4) Shrimp Chowder - if you like coconut curries, this was reminiscent & both delicious as well as well-portioned (5) Finally the Crocante de Lucuma- if you've got a sweet tooth & looking for something unique, this was a delicious mousse pie to wrap the night. Bonus: very nice service staff & great live music Fridays & Saturdays. Parking tip: hit the side streets east of Brand Blvd! read more

At first i had doubts to eat there cus music was pretty loud but so glad we stayed, food was amazing , we ordered fried calamari and lomo saltado and it's so far the best peruvian food we had here in LA, beyond expectations . read more

Service was good. Ambiance was good. But food was mediocre. Mamita's still the best for me, in the Glendale area anyway.

Lola's has great food and a warm, inviting atmosphere. My go-to dish is the lomo saltado, it never disappoints. Definitely worth a visit if you're in the area! read more

I was on a diet and my friends decided to get Peruvian food at Lola's. I decided to get the seafood lomo saltado, which wasn't the best decision due to all the carbs, but I justified it by saying I would only eat half the rice. Thirty minutes later, I look down at my plate and see nothing but the residual sauce from the lomo saltado. Sure, I was a little disappointed in myself for eating everything on my plate, but at the same time, this dish made me so happy and I would gladly eat another plate of this seafood, rice, and fries concoction. We went right before lunch so it was almost empty, but the service was good. There is a public parking structure across the street that has 90 minutes free, which is plenty of time to eat and even get desserts. read more

Lola's Peruvian Restaurant - Seafood lomo saltado - Latin American Near Me - Glendale, California

If I can give this restaurant a 0.01 star review then I would. Horrible restaurant with such horrible food. The lomo saltado by far the worst of the worst lomo saltado I've ever had as a Peruvian. The fries were drier than sand. It had diced pieces of meat. And to top it all off it was 90% tomatoes and onions, 5% fries & 5% meat. I wouldn't even call their meat lomo. Lowest quality meat for a $35 plate. A pisco sour was about $17 and it was such a joke. Tasted more like a lemonade. This restaurant is a DISGRACE to the Peruvian culture. I wouldn't even label this as a "Peruvian restaurant." The experience I had here was a robbery. I had $300 bill with my family. We went to enjoy a good time and hoping for some "good food." It was the worst Peruvian food ever and the waitress didn't even mention to us that there was a service charge of 20%. She took my card charged us and we noticed this once we got home because there was an extra charge of $75. WHAT THE HELL!!! They do not disclose this information with their customers so BE CAREFUL! DO NOT COME TO THIS RESTAURANT. GO TO A RESTAURANT LIKE PERCH LA INSTEAD TO ENJOY A BETTER AMBIANCE AND BETTER FOOD. STAY AWAY FROM THIS TERRIBLE RESTAURANT!! WE ARE NEVER COMING BACK. Lola's Peruvian Restaurant? More like Terrible Peruvian Restaurant. read more

From the moment we entered we were greeted by a lovely Peruvian lady that treated us, the food, and the restaurant as if it were her own. While not the owner, she well respected the establishment. And greatly cared for us. The staff are not only excellent cooks but look at this presentation! Excellence. I'd drive the 2 1/2 hrs for the fried plantains alone! So delicious! The steak was prepared exactly as it should for lomo. Impressed! Can't wait to bring my family here. Wish it wasn't so far away from us. read more

We came here as a group of 18 people after a weekend of AYSO Expo training and classes. We were all famished. Our tables were ready when we arrived. The service was great, fast and accurate. The food was VERY delicious and very generous portions. A few people had never been to a Peruvian restaurant so I had to help them choose. Nobody was disappointed. We will be back next year for sure. We were lucky enough to be here on a day they had a live singer. (Saturday) Her voice was angelic and she sang both English and Spanish songs. read more
