Aji de Gallina - delicious!
Diana H.

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!

Can't believe we are just discovering this gem. Food was great. The service was fantastic. The dining space is clean. calamari= yum lomo=yum bread= yum we asked for refill Friday nights they have live music.

Quinoa cau-cau and fried plantains. Delicious.
Lucine O.

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.

Lomo Saltado
Harry P.

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.

LOMO SALTADO
Ann C.

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!

Great tasting Peruvian food . Good service, and beautiful ambiance . Chi cha brought back many great memories with its authentic flavors. This spontaneous stop did not disappoint.

excellent Steak!

Lolas is best Peruvian restaurant has the best food and ambiance, plus they even allow dogs, which is why I keep coming back to Glendale. The ambiance here is just perfect. The hospitality on Friday night is simply amazing, with music that transports you to the streets of Lima.

Yuca frita
Gretel Y.

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!

Beef LOMO SALTADO
David C.

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.

Beef Saltado
Christian K.

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

LOMO SALTADO
Richie L.

Disclaimer this was my first time trying Peruvian food but wow wow wow! Difficult to imagine anything else topping their Lomo saltado. Also the bread their serve before the meal comes out. Phenomenal. A must try for anyone in the area looking for excellent Peruvian food

I absolutely love this store and everything about how they do business…read more First, they are the only shop around the area that actually goes ALL out with holiday decorations throughout the year, and it is always beautifully done! It brings so much joy to the street every time I pass it and shows how much pride, care, and passion the people here put into what they do. You can tell they genuinely want to create something special, not just inside the store, but for the whole community around them. That's awesome. Second, the food here is phenomenal and actually priced well. It's refreshing to find a place that serves such high-quality food at prices that still feel decently affordable. Their lunch menu is next level just the photos alone will make you drool, and again great prices considering 2026's economy. It is delicious, satisfying, and honestly a better value than many cafes that charge the same or more for food that is nowhere near as good. The ladies who run the shop are also incredibly friendly, warm, and personable. They are always courteous, fun to talk to, and bring such great energy to the space. Every visit feels welcoming and upbeat and I look forward to coming in to grab a huge pack of smoked salmon for $18 and some fresh Russian bread (toasted with butter!) for a few bucks. Perfect lunch and dinner for this guy haha! I sincerely hope this business continues to thrive for many years to come. They deserve it. THANK YOU SEVEN SEAS!!

We had never heard of it, so I thought we should give it a try. I'm so glad we did! Also, what a catchy name. We walked in around 5:40pm on a Tuesday and the place was completely empty. We were greeted by Alex who was the main star of the evening. He was so kind, gentle, soft spoken and honest. Truly a great employee who cares about his job and customers! The same goes for Angelo, who also waited on us, brought out our food and anything else we needed, like extra lemon wedges and hot sauce. The service was truly superb in every way! They both checked on us several times. Now for the food. Everything was simply delicious and fresh. The prices were appropriate for the portions and we both throughly enjoyed our food. I got their Surf and Turf with Ribeye and Grilled Jumbo Shrimp (3pc). For my sides, I added on Caesar Salad and Jambalaya Rice (comes with sausage, chicken, and shrimp). Each side was $2.35 extra. Although it was all tasty and properly made, I'm not going to order ribeye steak anymore from now on. It's always too fatty for my taste, and it's not the restaurant's fault. It's just how the meat is. My son got their Grilled Salmon plate and chose White Rice and Sautéed Veggies as his sides. He was very happy with his dish and didn't leave any crumbs on his plate. He said everything was seasoned properly and the veggies were cooked perfectly/very flavorful. This place is such a hidden gem in Glendale. In all my years of coming to this city, I can't believe I've never noticed it. They have great food with great service in a clean, comfy and homey environment. More people started to show up for dinner time and the vibes got even better. The blues music they were playing really hit the mark and made a great addition to the experience. In my opinion, the big TVs they have are unnecessary. (This isn't a sports bar). They have a BIG parking lot and one bathroom for each gender. My son said the men's restroom was clean, but the women's could have used a little touch up. There's a lot of love in this restaurant! Thank you Alex, Angelo, management and Crab Avenue.

I'd been sleeping on this place! I really liked the open, airy, diner-like atmosphere here, with comfy, clean booths but still a bit of an upscale feel. We started with the House Pickles and some fresh oysters. Our server was great at recommending some oysters in different flavor profiles, since we liked the milkier, less briny-tasting varieties. His recs were spot on too, and I loved that they provided house-prepared mignontette and horseradish. Then, we shared the Maryland blue crab cake (one cake that was big enough for its own meal) and the U10 Diver Scallops that came in a sauce of cream, spinach and bacon, and a side of buttery, soft bread. I make scallops all the time at home and never would have thought of a sauce like this... it was dreamy! We used the bread to just about clean the plate (since it isn't really socially acceptable to lick a plate in a restaurant), and I'm still thinking about the scallops and that sauce today. The crab cake and pickles were excellent too. We paired everything with some crisp New Zealand sauv blanc. I really enjoyed this place and I'd love to go back to try to hand rolls, soups, and everything else!

And I like the thoughtfulness in choosing the tortilla! One was only needed! It was large enough and kept its shape without tearing when folded!!! 10/10! And the entire staff! They're all so friendly and helpful! But Lorenzo is #1!

I came here with my niece for a last minute dinner, & overall, we had a nice first-time experience…read more The restaurant has a really unique atmosphere...it feels like a mix between a dinner spot & a dance club. They have different themed nights with DJs & live music, & I believe it was Mediterranean night when we went. I could definitely see this being a fun spot to come with friends, family, or for a celebration. When we went, the restaurant was pretty empty...there was our table & only one other table, which was a group celebrating a birthday. Because of that, I did feel like the music was extremely loud for how empty the restaurant was. I completely understand having loud music when the place is packed & everyone is there to dance & enjoy the nightlife, but since it was mostly just the two of us trying to have dinner, I think turning it down a little would have made the experience more comfortable. We still tried to make the most of it and enjoy the atmosphere. The food & drinks were good, although I would say the prices are definitely on the expensive side. We still had a fine meal. I'd be interested in coming back on a busier weekend to experience the restaurant when the atmosphere is more lively. One thing I did notice was that an 18% gratuity was already included in our bill. I understand automatic gratuity for larger parties, but since it was just me & my niece & we only ordered one meal, I only had one drink, & she had water, it felt a little high...especially considering how empty the restaurant was that night. I understand this may be their standard policy, but it was something I noticed. They also currently have a promotion where you can receive a sweet treat or a drink on the house for leaving a Google review, which was a nice little perk for a first time visit. Overall, I think this could be a really fun place for a group, birthday, date night, or anyone looking for dinner with music, dancing, & a nightlife atmosphere. I'd definitely be curious to come back on a busy weekend!
