Ordene el lomo saltado y es lo más delicioso q he probado de diferentes lugares. Al igual q el ceviche y además un excelente servicio de parte de el personal. Muchas gracias read more

Wandered into this small joint one afternoon out of curiosity and so glad we did. After surfing the menu and hearing about the lunch specials, the arroz con mariscos caught my eye. The menu described it as Peruvian paella so I went all in. Be forewarned that if you are on a lunch break, order a saltado dish cuz the paella takes quite a bit longer to prepare. Worth the wait? Oh yah. Given my dialysis diet, I was able to ask them not to make it salty and they were happy to oblige. The servings are rather generous so expect to pack some home. The service is awesome and very friendly. Be sure to check in with Yelp to take advantage of the first time 10% discount. read more

This place is really good! I came here after Sunday service, and the place is really nice and intimate. It's pretty dark when you walk in but the staff is very friendly. I ordered a Lomo Saltado (beef) and my girlfriend ordered the Pollo Saltado (chicken). The price is decent, but definitely worth it for the taste. Must try if you're in the area! read more

I'm a lover of Peruvian culture and this place didn't disappoint. Peruvian art and maps decorate the walls while the menu is filled with all the coastal and Andean dishes. The plates were heaped with food, enough for 2-3 meals. It tasted like home-cooked meals I've had in Cuzco, but BETTER. The fresh green and yellow ají sauces that came with bread before the meal were amazing, the best I've had. Service was slow, but given that there was a huge event at the Alex Theater, this was somewhat understandable. read more

My first and last time there. Couldn't tell you how the food was. We sat and waited for 15 minutes before they came to us. We were ready to order when they finally asked us. We ordered the basic Saltado and Rice and waited 25 minutes later four tables who sat after us and ordered after us got their food before we got ours. The waitress were chummy with the other tables. I also asked for bread but again nothing. I ended up leaving without eating off the plate they did manage to bring to my table while still waiting for the rest of the food. I left enough to cover what was brought and the faces I got from the staff weren't happy but they didn't once check or even ask what had happened. read more

Wow is all I can about this restaurant!! Food was excellent!! And our waiter was excellent and very good... I have been to Peru and the food was authentic like I was in Peru . Also the atmosphere was also wonderful! I will make this now my only place to eat out when I want peruvian cuisine. Thanks to our waiter Jay!! And to all the staff!!! So anyone wanting great peruvian food head to Lola's!!! B V Simi Valley California read more

Ordered food last week for Fathers Day. It was last minute 7:30pm decision. Called and ordered lomo saltado, calamar frita, bisteck a lo pobre, chaufa de mariscos. The only thing tasty was the lomo. It was tender and full of flavor. My only gripe about the dish was I barely got any beef and mostly fries. Calamar frita & bisteck lacked flavor. And the chaufa tasted like Chinese fried rice. We didn't even get bread. For $85 I expected more. Guess they're not so generous on take out orders. I will just return to Mamita. Their food is so much better. read more

My friend and I were out and about on Good Friday. We happened to find parking right in front of this place. I was so pleased to see their written menu offerings of Fish! (Catholics do not eat meat - that includes chicken!!!- on Lenten Fridays and especially on this Good Friday!) The restaurant is pretty cozy and still spacious enough. There was a table celebrating a birthday, several couples and this really handsome gentleman speaking with a lovely accent, not Spanish, but maybe Portuguese. He made lunch so worth it :) Open kitchen concept, so smells were delicious! Got the Seafood Ceviche - nice chunks of shrimp, octopus, fish infused with lime and just a hint of spice, served with large kernels of crunchy corn and thinly shaved pickled onions. So refreshing! The Jalea Mariscos is a medley of crunchy calamari, shrimp, clams, mussels and breaded fish with fried Yucca. Delicious, light breading was just the right amount to keep food crunchy and was not greasy. Complementary warm, soft breadsticks served with that yellow and green sauce- delicious! These two dishes were from the dinner menu and were enough for two to share, with leftovers to boot! Service was friendly and attentive. read more

Wow everything was great here.... I loved their Seafood Paella because it was creamy and really really tasty.... Their beef Saltado was good also. The Bread was buttered right, with green and white sauce on the side. It was also my little buddies Birthday and they hooked him up with Chocolate cake which so creamy good.... The ambiance was nice and intimate with authentic music playing the background. ... Sandra our waitress was Excellent!!!! And are food came really fast surprisingly since we got in 30 minutes before closing and the food seemed hard to cook and prepare... I've been to 3 other Peruvian Restaurants and this is so far one of my favorites now.... I'll add this to one of my Top 5 Favorite Restaurants!!! read more

Amazing peruvian food! Service was excellent as Mauricio and everyone made sure we always had water and were on top of everything. The atmosphere is so nice with service being exceptional! The food was so tasteful with such amazing flavors! We always eat at peruvian restaurants and this one is worth every penny! They serve you some bread with ahi while you wait for appetizers and your food! Everything is cooked to perfection and you get to enjoy the experience while waiting for your meal. The portions are very big and presentation is beautiful. You will definitely have leftovers! Don't forget to drink my favorite which is always so fresh, maracuya! We enjoyed ourselves here and will be coming back as they ran out of the alfarores, which they looked delicious in the picture so it will be a must to come get some! Prices might be a little higher but it's worth it as service and the portions with presentation are wow!! Thank you for the excellent food! Service was perfect and not once did we ever have any complaints. read more

Decided to try this place out for dinner tonight per a recommendation by my bf's coworker. I was a little bummed out that it is located right in the heart of chaotic Brand and parking was a bit of a debacle (as it always is on Brand)...but we managed. The place is pretty small and very dimly lit. Walking up I wasn't even sure if they were open or not! But once inside, it had a very intimate feel. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive as well. As far as the food goes, the portion sizes are HUGE! We easily could have just shared one entree and called it a night but alas, now we have left overs for tomorrow... (and really, who am I kidding? Who doesn't want leftovers?) ANYWAY, for an appetizer we had yucca a la huancaina which was really good! I am a big fan of yucca to begin with and this dish felt like i was eating glorified cheese fries. Totally worth the order. For our actual entree, my bf ordered the Bistec a lo pobre which had the most tender cut of beef I have had in a long time. I got the Jalea mariscos which was legitimately a leaning tower of fried fish. I mean, this thing was massive!!!! When the waitress plopped the plate in front of me I just about fell out of my chair. And man was it good! I was worried about the batter being excessively greasy and heavy but it wasn't....the plate had a nice mix of calamari, scallops, shrimp, oysters, clams, and a really tender white fish that was my personal favorite. My bf also insisted on getting alfajores for dessert which is a "must get" if you come! Overall, this place is good if you have quite the appetite lol...if not, make sure to bring a friend, or three :) read more

Really good Peruvian find in Los Angeles. It's a little bit on the pricier side but the food is great. For appetizers we just stuck to the yucca frita la huancaina. My family loved the sauce because of how creamy it was, complimenting the yucca. I ordered the lomo saltado and the presentation is excellent. The portion size is very big and the flavor was great. The beef was nicely cooked, the papas fritas and the sauce were all cooked very well. Interior is very nice, and they're always blasting good Latin beats, feels like you're in a club which I honestly love haha. read more

Had dinner here with my moms.. Food was okay. Not used to having french fries mixed in with my beef and shrimp. Good and tastey but nothin special. The creamy green sauce lit up my tounge a bit. Plus, on my shirt and pants too after spilling it. read more

Finally, a Peruvian restaurant that I really like! They didn't overdo it with the oil like most other Peruvian places do. I really appreciated that because it truly does transform a dish just by lightening up on the pour (of oil). Extremely dark- a bit too incognito for my taste. They really need to change the lighting in there but that would change the ambiance all together. Pollo Vino was excellent. The menu says that it's a stew but it really isn't. It has as much sauce as any of the saltados have and is not soupy at all. Lomo Saltado - huge chunks of beef - some were chewy tough pieces but I didn't mind as much as I thought I would. Portions fit the price. Entrees listed above were around $17 to $18 each. Complimentary Bread - warm oiled mini baguettes with 2 small sauces to dip. Service: at the end of the meal, the server thanked us for coming in. A simpleand small gesture that really went along way for me. The only con is that this place is way more $$ than most other Peruvian restaurants. Parking: street metered read more

I've had about 6 different dishes so far and each one has been very flavorful and had that authentic Peruvian taste. The prices are really great and the service is wonderful. Their busiest time seems to be Friday at lunch, so watch out for lines during those peak hrs. Right now I'm enjoying a healthy ceviche dish ($10-11). Try the mixed seafood soup. Omg so good. You'll love it. read more

This place is amazing. The food is delicious. Service is exceptional. Parking- on the street with pay or the back lot with pay as well. Service varies on who you have. See my pictures. I have come here a few times every time I got something it has been delicious! Papa a la Huancaina - potatoes with a slightly spicy cheese sauce. Garnished with lettuce $7.95= pretty tasty classic Peruvian dish Aji de Gallina-shredded juicy chicken with a creamy peppery sauce(not spicy) yumm! also a classic Peruvian dish its soooo delicious not heavy at all. served with white rice. Tallarin Saltado-Marinated juicy beef with cooked tomatoes & red onions with linguine. Soo good as well trust me! Flan= Veryyyyyyyy creamy & good one of the best ones I have had. Fried yucca= wow soo crispy & delicious yumm! Comes with a ranch style sauce Chicha Morada- this is a purple sweet corn drink trust me its amazingggggg tryyy ittttt you wont be sorry! $2.95 Mini Causa - Crushed Peruvian potato filled with the layer of topped mayonnaise sauce, with shrimp= yumm & filling too! $15.95 Calamari- very crispy & delicious as well the tartar sauce with it is soo good!

If I could give it ZERO stars I WOULD! I have been going to this restaurant for years, and never did I have an issue with the quality of food or service. I'm not sure if it's due to covid or obvious staff changes but the service has completely diminished. In the past 4 months I've given them the benefit of the doubt but they obviously do not care about their customers anymore. My usual order consisted minimally of Lomo Saltado, Seco de res, and ceviche. TWICE! I've had food poisoning!! Every time I ordered take out due to covid my order was incomplete or items were missing, like the extra order of bread I payed for, or aji, the spicy sauce they now double charge for. I called and complained and both the lady on the phone and man who claims he's the owner speak disrespectfully and have said, bring back the food (which are wayyyy smaller portions than before) and I'll refund you the money. The food was cold, and tasted different, flavor is definitely missing! Finally the straw the broke the camels back!!! My husband went to pick up our food, he payed and they wouldn't give him the copy of his receipt, again the lady in the front, who I assume is new, and says she too is the owner refused to provide the copy of the receipt and told my husband not to worry it's just 75.00!!! We felt it was odd. Not sure what changed but I am sad to no longer give them my business, they certainly have gone from a 5 to a Zero in food quality and trashy service and it's a shame!!! I mean 75 dollars for 3 plates of food served in styrofoam containers, thanks but no Thanks! This place no longer is a gem! read more

Came in on a random Wednesday night with a Groupon expecting some sub-par food from a struggling restaurant. Boy was I off. The ceviche tasting is amazing; trust me, you haven't had ceviche LIKE THIS. Also ordered the Seco (meat so tender and slow cooked), and Lomo Saltado (beef soooo fresh), and the Seafood Rice. Portion sizes were huge, so get ready to share. But the biggest surprise was the quality and freshness of the food (trust me, I'm a picky, PICKY diner). Come hungry and get ready to have your expectations exceeded. Way to bump up the dining options in Glendale, Lola! read more

Lola's Peruvian Restaurant - Papa Papa a la Huancaina - Latin American Near Me - Glendale, California

See all

(Dined 7/19/12 TH @ 7pm): As The Kinks sang, "L...O...L...A...Lola." As I continued to explore my way through the landscape of places to quench a thirst and fill my belly, Groupon ($20 worth of food for $10) was once again the culprit in my quest to say. "Yes, I've tried that!", and this particular evening's journey took me and a friend to Lola's Peruvian Restaurant. It was an unbearably muggy day, yet we decided to eat on the outside front patio (fresh air and all). We momentarily stepped inside to notify a hostess, in which she kindly greeted us and sat us down. There was only one young couple inside, and as I looked at their food, I felt good about our decision as this was both our first time to eat here. Because we both looked forward to tonight's meal, we had already chosen what we wanted to eat beforehand: Peruvian beer - Cristal (2) and Cusquena ($5.00 ea.), Bisteck con Tallarin Verde (steak and pasta: $18.99) for her, Pollo Saltado (chopped chicken with rice, yuca frita, onions, peppers: $16.99) for me, Alfajores (a warm sandwich-like cookie with what appeared to be a Nutella-like spread: $3.99) for dessert, and although we wanted the Conchas a la Parmesana (baked scallops with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese) they were out, so we went with the Choros a la Chalaca (boiled mussels topped with chopped onion, cilantro, lime juice, corn, and rocoto chili pepper: $8.99). We also received complimentary buttered breadsticks with an assortment of sauces and spread. We settled into our iron-rod chairs, noshed on breadsticks, and savored our ice cold beer served in a frosty cold mug. Heck, I wanted to smother my mug all over my body just to stay cool! Although the beer tasted good (especially on this hot day), there was nothing distinctive about it. The breadsticks were freshly baked with a light buttering on the outside, and the three sauces/spreads accompanied them well. I wasn't a fan of the spicy mustard one, but I really enjoyed the garlicky spread and spicy guacamole-like dip. Next up were the mussels which looked very lavish, but I'm always leery when there is too much toppings because it's like they're trying to hide the actual food item. This was a first-time experience eating mussels for my friend, and needless to say, she wasn't too impressed, as she stated, "it's too rubbery and fishy". Yes, I agreed, but my family ate clams, mussels, etc., so I was used to it and enjoyed eating her portion! The size of the mussel was good, too. Now, the main course. I was thoroughly impressed with the portion sizes as it could have fed two people with room to spare, or in my case, fill up one person! I sampled my friend's meal and the steak was lightly seasoned and nicely cooked to a medium. It was juicy and flavorful. The pasta was huge tubular pieces covered in a verde sauce. Definitely a heavy meal to be eating in 80+ degree weather, but all was good. My chicken reminded me more of an Asian dish the way it was prepared. I actually throw stuff together like this when I cook on the wok. It was soft and filled with all the flavors it was cooked with. The oddity of the dish were the yuca frita buried and mixed in with everything else. Don't get me wrong, I like it all (I ate the whole thing; factor in the heaping scoop of rice, this was a carbo load!), but I simply didn't get it. The dessert was divine with its soft crunchiness and dusting of cinnamon. An iced coffee or mocha may have complimented this well. The service was very good (Sandra was our waitress), but I would imagine due to the lack of customers. We were instantly greeted, seated, order taken, table setting ready, and she checked on us from time-to-time. We didn't have any water, so I can say how diligent she would be about filling the glasses. Overall, she was a pleasure. Parking is ample, whether along Brand Blvd. with meters, nearby side streets, or surrounding parking structures and lots which offer the first 90-minutes free (small nominal fees after that). I tried to find free non-business street parking but those were taken so I parked in the Maryland parking structure. Overall, Lola's Peruvian Restaurant was a fine treat and I was happy for this Groupon offer to give me the perfect opportunity to try this place in my hometown. I found good value as you can't knock the portion size, but I feel the prices could come down a bit based on the prices I quoted above (total bill was around $70.00 before Groupon and tip). Mamita is another local Peruvian restaurant which offered comparable food for less money. The atmosphere inside was dark with brick walls and several tables which allowed for a more romantic intimate setting, but the outside patio was just that with only a couple tables. Generally, I felt the attire was casual (especially outside), so expect me to be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops...unless I planned for a more romantic evening out. And they accepted my credit card of choice...AMEX! (actual rating: 3.5 stars) read more

Nice and cozy place with live music. We were there for my birthday dinner and already checked out what to order way before we got there. As I am a cheese lover, I like anything that has a creamy cheese sauce to it. What we ordered were actually quite light - not a heavy cream sauce. We started with the Yucca Frita A La Huancaina, which is fried yucca with Hauanicaina sauce. I love the sauce - which is a spicy cheese sauce. My friend ordered one of the famous Peruvian dish - Lomo Saltado - kind of like a Beef stir-fried dish on rice and French fries. The beef is quite tasty. I prefer mine as it has the cheese on it again. I ordered Aji de Gallina - shredded chicken in a yellow creamy sauce. I loved it. The rice is a bit too hard for me. Maybe that's how they liked it cooked. For me I have to chew hard to make sure I don't get any indigestion. Forgot to mention about the warm bread sticks that came with 2 types of sauce for dipping - one green and one yellow. They were great starters. I had the Inca Soda which is like the cream soda I had always liked to order when I was young. My friend had the sangria. Our server is very nice. Sorry that I forgot his name. Maybe Jay? He even taught us how to pronounce the dishes we have ordered. Overall I like the place. A bit dark for us to take our food pics. It would be most preferable if we have a bigger group so as we could try out next time. They also offer 10% off for the first order if you checked in on Yelp. We totally forgot about this part. Maybe next time? read more

Really great dining experience. My fiancé, kids and I were in the area and spontaneously discovered this place. There's no kids menu but my kids enjoyed the shrimp plate regardless. If your kids like seafood then they'll enjoy it here. Also the server did a good job and she was really chill. The food was super bomb. Really tasty and delicious. We all really enjoyed what we ordered. They serve IPA beers and lots of wine for people who like to drink. Will definitely come back here again next time we're out in Glendale. read more

Great Lunch ... 5 Stars Came here for lunch and got the Arroz con Mariscos and the Shrimp with rice and potatoes - See Photos The bread was nice and warm, and the two sauces were really good. My Arroz con Mariscos was really delicious - mussels, calamari, shrimp, scallops in a nicely cooked plate of rice with tasty seasoning - It's a WOW! The shrimp with rice and potatoes was good, but both plates were a very generous size and I had to ask for a to go container for mine. It's definitely worth coming back, and with all that rice, I'll need to run more. read more

I came here with three other people on a Tuesday night and did not expect the restaurant to be filled! Pros: - Long hot rolls and dipping sauce were given to us while we wait for our food. - The waitress was kind enough to apologize to us since service was slow and food took awhile to come out. - The seco (beef stew) was delicious and tender. I would definitely recommend this dish for anything looking to try something interesting. - The portions are huge, big enough to share. Cons: - There is only one waitress and one bust boy working here during the time we were here, so they were pretty slow in service. I had already expected slow service from the other reviews, so I was not upset when this occurred. - Lomo saltado did not have as much sauce/flavor as other lomo saltados that I have tried. - The food is expensive for Peruvian food, especially during dinner time. I would recommend coming during lunch time for a more affordable meal. Although I had used my groupon for $20. It was barley enough to cover my own plate of food. - Parking is on the streets and are metered parking up until 10pm. read more

One of the things I find most problematic about Yelp is reading reviews from people who clearly have NO UNDERSTANDING of the cuisine or underlying culture represented in a given restaurant. They consistently harp on stupid shit (my water took long to refill) and they generally order poorly. A dumb (terrible) review of this restaurant from Alicia L (below, Elite Yelper natch) was the trigger for coming to this PERUVIAN GEM to try it out. I figured, if a person who: 1. Ordered that badly (really? the vegetarian pasta? the Fish & Chips?) 2. Wanted Tartar Sauce (seriously girl? give it a rest). ...hated the place, I'd probably love it. So I managed to snag a large table last night and drove up to Glendale to check it out. Service: Excellent - warm and very friendly Atmosphere: boisterous Food: if you know something about Peruvian food (especially homestyle places like this and Mario's) you will be VERY VERY happy here. They even had chaufa on the secret menu. We ordered a ton to give it a try. One of the benefits of getting a bigger group together. Papas/Yuca con Huancaina - super tasty Ceviches (both creamy and non creamy) - tasty and done in a high end way. They were definitely adjusted for American palates however (less acidity and less spice than normal), but we were with low-spice friends so that's that. Choclo - Loved the addition of the cheese. Have never had it that way before and it's great. Roast Pork - Amazing. Everyone's favorite item. Chaufa - So so so good. The regular arroz also looked tasty. Saltados - Tasty, with good fries in the pile though the meat was a bit lower quality than I would have liked. Comparing Lola's against all Peruvian spots (here and in Peru itself), I think it's a sold 4* restaurant. In the homestyle category, it's a 5* spot, and given those other annoying chaff reviews, I'll gladly call it at 5 stars. read more

The pork dish I had here was one of the most memorable of 2018. The skin was served separate (but on top) of the succulent, flame-licked portion of pork. Why was it separated? Because the preparation made this chicharron-like, glassy, wonderfully crunchy and delicious piece of skin the perfect accompaniment for each bite of the pork. It was literally insanely good. Served with rice and a salad (or fries), it was a show-stealer for everybody at the table. The wines are great, the beer is cold (and Peruvian, shall you desire Cosqueña) and the service is fantastic. The chicken out of the wood oven is also delicious but seriously go for that pork. Unbelievably awesome. read more

Spectacular!!! The best huancaina sauce I've ever had! Amazing Lomo and ridiculous Chaufa de pollo! Incredible restaurant!

The Lomo Saltado was amazing! Juicy, tasty, generous meat, onions and plus the special green salsa picante... Uf, undefeatable! The reason I'm not giving a 5 stat review is that I got two slices of tomatoes. Daniela was very kind and prepared a good Pisco Sour! The best way to end the evening. A saborear! read more

Disappointed experience. I have eaten here many times but yesterday's food was bland, the taste was not the same us before. Do not waste your night out and go somewhere else. Btw I asked for the manager and this rude lady showed up with no manners instead of giving a good explanation, she was very rude. I found out later that they have a new management, no wonder my food was terrible. read more

I got a Groupon deal that was your standard $10.00 for $20.00 and the lady told me she wouldn't honor it because I was not in a group which I found weird. At least she applied $10.00 to my bill and gave me an extra $10.00 coupon to use on my next visit. The service is definitely slower than most places as there is one bartender an one waitress in the whole place on a Wednesday evening. As for the food, I've never tried Peruvian food so take this with a grain of salt if you're an experienced Peruvian Food eater. Also I'm a Vegetarian... The complimentary breadstick with the dipping sauces was really tasty. The green spicy sauce was my favorite, had just the right amount of kick as flavor. Breadsticks were very reminiscent of Olive Garden. I ordered the Papa a la Huancaina. I was very unimpressed. Cold boiled potatoes don't taste good no matter what kind of sauce or seasoning you place on them. Definitely was expecting something better from the description. For the main dish I ordered the Saltado De Vegetales which seems to be the vegetarian version of their staple dish. It was very good and had a hint of Asian influence (I believe soy sauce and stir fry vegetables). But it didn't knock my socks off, again, this may be amazing for this kind of good but as a first introduction to this restaurant and Peruvian food in general I wouldn't come back if it wasn't for that $10.00 coupon I received...Clever Waitress lol read more

I usually come here to eat with my coworkers during lunch hour. The food is pretty good, but it does take a really long time to get your food served to you. Today we were a party of 12, and we waited over an hour to get our food served. I must say, that once the food was received, it was pretty good. I can't blame them 100%, because they do seem like their limited on their staff and they probably make the food fresh, but I think over an hour is quite excessive. Our server was extremely nice and gave asked for our email address. She said she'd send us a copy of the menu, so we can order in advance and avoid waiting longer. If you ask me what my favorite thing is on the menu, by the way...I'd say go for the Lomo Saltado. read more
