Food and service are amazing! The staff member Karo was very attentive and the chicken was delicious. I would recommend getting the soursop drink too. read more

Woah, I read some article about Loli Farms being one of the best rotisserie chickens in the city and not gonna lie, I was mildly skeptical. Have heard lots of other rotisserie chickens being touted as "one of the best" and they wind up being dry or just okay. Today, I came here on the way home to try it out and I'm so glad I did. The chicken is AMAZING--smoky, juicy, and tender without being overbrined or overcooked. Even the breast meat, after sitting in a hot container for 45 minutes, was delicious. The chicken travels well (fries do not of course) and I'm definitely getting delivery for lazy weeknight dinners. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, even when I asked about their drinks cause I couldn't find a menu for it. The passionfruit is quite tart but so flavorful! I loved the chincha morada. I'm not familiar enough with Peruvian food to speak on authenticity but this was just GOOD food. Got a side of fried plantains and garlic fries--plantains are perfectly caramelized on the outside, yummy! Garlic fries are VERY garlicky and the fries themselves are on the softer side, kind of like Wing Stop fries. This was my first time here and the parking situation was quite interesting--no parking lines, try not to block others in, a real parking free for all. There's maybe 6 tables inside and another 4-5 in a covered patio outside. read more

Came in last Saturday 5/2 and they were sold out of chicken for the day (congrats on the LA Times write up!), but I really wanted to try the menu, so I came back on Tuesday (5/5) and I'm so glad I did! The chicken was so delicious, and the sides were amazing! My new neighborhood spot. Also, customer service was 10/10! Highly recommend. read more

I'm usually in California at least 2+ times a week as it's my regular route into the office. This building was formerly a mini mart and sat vacant for quite some time. Then remodeling took place and Loli Farms was born. Took us a while before we walked in to try as we had no idea what they served until it popped up as a recommendation. Have never had Peruvian rotisserie chicken until the day we tried it. The chicken was moist and certain parts of it were very well seasoned (a bit too much on the wings). The portion was more than enough for my wife to share plus enough for a chicken salad the next day (we ordered a whole chicken). Sauces that were provided were both tasty but I did prefer the green. Wasn't a huge fan of the fried yucca as certain pieces were tough. The fried plantains were good but wished it was a tad bit sweeter. Would head back as the food was good but would elect for different sides. read more

Loli Farms is a Peruvian restaurant that also sells a little kitchen staples, snacks and drinks. There is no signage at all so if it's your first time, use GPS. There's a small parking lot but can fill up quickly. There's also street parking. They've been here for about a year and is the more casual sister restaurant of Bodegón No.69, also in Pasadena about 10 minutes away. Once inside, grab a menu or look on the monitor to decide. Paper menu is better because the monitor has a glare and rotates the images often. Everything is self service. Order and pick up at the counter. Self service sauces or drinks in the large cooler towards the back, and even bus your own tables. Seating is first come, first serve. Even though there is also outdoor seating, it can all fill up at times. They're known for their roasted chicken, so that's what we ordered. A whole chicken with two sides: mashed potatoes that has the roasted chicken drippings poured over it and plantains. The chicken was full of flavor, juicy and worked great with the green sauce. We also got the Salchipapas, which is basically french fries sliced sausage covered with various sauces. It's not bad, but not great and feels like something I can make at home. But the highlight is no doubt the chicken. There wasn't much service, but the interaction with the staff was pleasant. They all seem very nice with a friendly smiles. Tip: many people grabbed a 2 L bottle of the Inca cola from the cooler. It's a Peruvian soda and for someone who does not drink sodas, this is pretty damn good if you like it these can also be found in Mexican markets probably for a cheaper price. All of the snacks or kitchen staples sold here do not have a price listed. So you can either ask or be a Baller and just buy it. The consensus is accurate. Their chicken is awesome. A 4 1/2 star rounded up to 5. read more

My wife and I drove by and had to stop. The delicious rotisserie chicken aroma grabbed our dinner time hunger pangs. "Let's check it out!!" There was a line out the door with similar hungry neighbors, all more than willing to wait in anticipation. Once the rotisserie chicken is pulled out and cut into pieces, a ladle of juices are poured over and it is so delicious! The chicken is tender and juicy with amazing flavors and the Peruvian green sauce is one you will wish you had a bottle of at home! The sweet potato fries are yummy and good for you. The staff is very friendly and engaged. It's very cozy and casual inside with the good food / good company vibe. See ya next week! read more

Finally tried Loli Farms after seeing it on Instagram, and it's such a cute little place! The inside is very warm and welcoming, and the staff is super friendly and helpful. We got the chicken sandwich and the 1/4 chicken. The chicken sandwich is loaded with a lot of meat and very filling. The 1/4 chicken is seasoned very well, and I also really liked the plantains. You can find green sauce and white sauce in the fridges on the side too. Overall, very tasty! Note that parking might be difficult, though you can park in front of the store on the driveway/lot. Also, the bathroom is outside and needs a code. read more

Background On Visit: Long story short, I mistaken this place for Pie and Burger. We were standing in line for about 10 minutes before I asked the couple ahead of us how the food was and what would they recommend. The wife told us that the rotisserie chicken was very good and that we should get the fried yuca frita and the coleslaw. After listening to her, we realized that we went to the wrong place. After waiting that long, we felt committed and decided to patronize the shop. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Restroom: There's no restroom Wait Time: Wait can be long. Took about 45 minutes to get inside to order, find a seat, and receive our food. Location/Parking: Located on the NE corner of. Parking can be found in the shared parking lot with Pie and Burger. You can also park along California Blvd. or on S. Lake Ave.. Ambiance/Decor: It was kinda chaotic, but get's alright after you find a table to enjoy your food. Tables are communal so you'll be sitting with other people that you don't know. There's also a outdoor patio, but there's more seating than tables. Service: Not much service, but staffer behind the register was nice and patient. Food took a while, but it was acceptable due to how busy it was. Food Of Choice: Decided on the 1/2 Chicken Pollo A La Brasa, which was quite moist and tender even though the skin was pretty salty. It also came with your choice of two sides (mashpotatoes, yucca frita, white rice, platino frito, canary beans, cole slaw, garlic fries, and sweet potato). Decided on the garlic fries and yucca frita (fried cassava). The sides were very good and I really had a fun time dipping/dunking them in the cilantro and aji verde sauce. :) Loli Farms For Thought: I wouldn't mind coming back to eat more chicken. I'll consider ordering to go next time. read more

I was craving for lomo saltado, and I found this place with greta yelp reviews. I parked in a public parking structure, and walked over. There was a short line when I got here. I love the decoration. It was very cultural. I found out they only have Lomo Salado sandwich, not the typical lomo Salado dish. I can order their signature chicken. I got the quarter chicken with fries. The traditional green and white sauce or self serve inside the fridge. Both sauces were pretty spicy to my tasting. The chicken was very tender and juicy, and it was well seasoned too. The fries was crispy. I would probably order their sweet potato fries next time. I will definitely come back again. read more

My friends and I decided on meeting up for dinner and we chose this spot. It is almost cafeteria set up as far as seating. It smells delicious when walking in. I ordered the salchipapas that had the combination of beef and pork sausage and it had their secret sauce, mustard, and ketchup. I can tell when sausages are not fresh because I usually get sick. I was totally fine and it had the snap. It was a great order to finish off the day. My friends got the chicken dinner and pork sandwich and we all finished out food. It was a good meal to catch up on life. The cashiers were super friendly and quick to clean up as well. It is a very clean space and I would definitely want to come back. You should definitely give it a try. read more

Loli Farms - Salchipapas - Peruvian Near Me - Pasadena, California

One of my new favorite spots in Pasadena! Loli Farms turned a corner street gas station into a hip chicken spot. I ordered the half chicken with a side of plantains and yucca fries. It smells heavenly here. The chickens are roasted in their oven in batches and cut fresh out of the oven. The seasoning is exquisite, but do try their different sauces, it makes all the difference. My friends and I loved trying their aqua frescos as well and there were a few flavors I haven't heard before. The parking lot is quite small but there's street parking available as well. I love the staff here, they are super friendly and check in on everyone. If you're looking for great service and food that impresses everyone, definitely check out this spot! read more

I remembered when Loli Farms first opened. I walked in to learn about the restaurant after dining at Pie n Burger. The two restaurants are next to each other. That was about 8 months ago. Recently after a visit to Pie n Burger, my wife and I walked into Loli Farms to check out the business. It looked inviting and the aroma of rotisserie chicken was enticing. It wasn't crowded which didn't affect me one way or another. Today we were headed for Pie n Burger but as we walked by we decided to give Loli Farms a try. We were pleasantly surprised by the crowd already dining there and we waited in line to order. I had the half chicken and my wife the quarter chicken. We both chose white rice and canary beans for our sides. Luckily a table opened up and we settled in. Our food came promptly, no waiting and it was piping hot. The he beans and rice were better than I expected and a good choice. The chicken though was excellent, juicy and tender. The flavor from the spices was strong and penetrated the entire bird. We were immediately sold on this place. From the line that formed after we were seated, it's obvious that many other people in Pasadena are sold on Loli Farms. I told the young man who took our order that this was our first visit. He said the chicken is tender and you will love it. He was right. The chicken is tender and we loved it. It has to be popular due to their product and word of mouth because they don't have a sign out front. We will definitely be back and make the 20 minute drive because it's that good. read more

Loli Farms - Half chicken with white rice and canary beans. - Peruvian Near Me - Pasadena, California

If you like Peruvian chicken, this is the place. Small, friendly, delicious food. Juicy juicy chicken, season extremely well, excellent sides, and good bang for your buck. $18 for my combo of 1/2 chicken with two sides. Seated and parking a little limited so plan accordingly. Nice and quaint little place. 1/2 store 1/2 diner. In my opinion better than El Dorado Pollos a La Brasa. Just missing pickled onion. read more

I actually saw this place on Instagram from an influencer. I really like Lomo Saltado and they advertise a sandwich version so I had to give it a try. It's a small place on a busy corner in Pasadena, not much parking but you can park on street for a dollar for an hour. The man taking the orders, I think he's the owner, is very nice. I went with the Lomo Saltado sandwich with a side of cole slaw to go. The cole slaw was very fresh and tasty. The cabbage was crunchy. The sandwich was a little different than a regular plated version of lomo saltado in that inside the sandwich was the sliced beef, onions, and tomatoes. The french fries were on the side and they had a nice au jus for dipping the sandwich. My only suggestion, hopefully they will consider it, is that the bread not be cut through to make it halves and to just create a pocket so that when picking it up to dip, all the insides don't fall out which made it very difficult to eat. Other than that it was really good. The inside is a few tables for dining in as well as tables outside. read more

Just tried Loli Farms and wow... everything was SO good. The sauces are amazing (especially the green one). The chicken was super tender and juicy, it was perfectly cooked. Sides did not disappoint either -- the plantains, sweet potato fries, garlic fries, and coleslaw were all seriously yummy. Definitely one of those spots where you want to try everything on the menu! Only downside is the parking situation... very limited spaces, so be ready to hunt a bit. Totally worth it though! Can't wait to be back. read more

Chicken is juicy, flavorful without being too salty, and slightly smoky. The yucca frita had the best crunchy exterior and soft interior - better for me than the garlic fries. I wanted the chicken to be smokier and for their green sauce to be more pungent and creamy. This is definitely a cute place for lunch. read more

If you haven't had wood-fired rotisserie, please go! This taste like something from the olden days or a regular thing in another country. I really like that they cook their own fries (not frozen manufactured type). There's no signage outside but it's at the corner of the street, don't let this place fool you from the outside. The moment you step in, you'll know why this review is telling you to. If I had a choice for pollo a la brasa, this is it. Half a chicken at $18 is shareable, and a whole $30 chicken with two sides is what my fat ass would want all day. I really think it's one of the best rotisserie I've tried. The smoky skin with a juicy breast...oh I am in need of some chicken while writing this! The skin is slightly crispy with an excellent golden brown color, the wings are not dried to crisps and still have a great texture (if you like skin) even after being in the oven. I attribute this to the indirect wood flame in the oven. Garlic fries are great (please add less salt if you guys are reading this), plantains are great (pretty sweet, I think it's a banana instead), and the yellow sauce just goes well on almost anything. Their aji Verde is spicy, but when you mix some with the yellow sauce, it is so tasty with literally everything. Their yellow drink is sweet, tangy, and tropical, I like it. The burgundy drink taste and smell like Bed Bath & Beyond in a good way, I really like this one since it has a great balance of sugar and flavor. Definitely give their agua frescas a try. I really like the tall guy doing the cashiering and assembly, he's really kind and helpful at answering questions. He also brought us plates and sauces without asking. He seem pretty proud of the food they're serving, I like his vibe; really fitting for a cute chicken shop/store. Go for the chicken, stay for the nice decor (check out the seats and lamps!) and service. This is a well thought-out shop, you can see the love the owner put in for sure. read more

Ok, so the chicken is five stars all day, but I'm only giving four because the wait can be lengthy and I think the mashed potatoes are instant, but they're still super tasty and a nice compliment (I smeared the mash on each bite of chicken and it was delicious). The chicken is maybe the most tender, moist and juicy chicken I've had in recent memory. The chicken skin was all killer, and the seasoning has South American flair which is delightful. The yucca, not pictured, is fried to a nice light near crunch and isn't as dry as I expected. The coleslaw is excellent. I feel if you like KFC's coleslaw you'll love this coleslaw. It's sweet, crunchy, and tastes fresh. The mashed potatoes were good, I enjoyed them but I think they are instant. The service, once you get to the counter which can take a bit, is friendly but moves quickly so be ready to order. The seating is sorta comfy but can be difficult when busy as the place is small with limited availability to sit. The overall ambiance, when I was there, was friendly and lively. They have some sauces in the cooler which you help itself to; don't forget to try those because they make the meal even tastier. The prices are sorta fair, they do have a parking lot which can fill up quickly, and the bathroom is outside at the side of the building. It's a bit tough after you order to get service if they're busy, so ask all of your questions while ordering. All that said, this is a great spot with a few minor setbacks that shouldn't stop you from going, just be prepared to wait, maybe not get a table, but it'll all be worth once you get that first bite of their chicken. read more

Loli Farms - half chicken with two sides - Peruvian Near Me - Pasadena, California

Wood fired chicken. Yesss!! Great sauces. Yesssss!! Fried plantains, coleslaw, fried yucca, Yessss! It was all great. But the menu is a little limited. Small converted gas station but very homey inside. Small space. Extremely tasty chicken great smoke flavor but not too heavy and well seasoned. Chicken was moist and yucca fries were light and crispy not al all greasy. House made sauces really made the meal. A smattering of Peruvian drinks and snacks. Price was good about $40 for 4 people. Definitely got to try especially inexpensive for Pasadena read more

This was the first time eating here so I will be very candid. The best part is the food was GREAT and good on the wallet. I ordered a 1/4 chicken with 2 side orders that came out to be only $15. My sides were sweet potato fries and a cucumber salad. You will not find this at a burger joint. The fries were only lukewarm so that was one reason for the lesser rating. The main reason for my rating is the restaurant cleanliness. Inside was ok but I chose to eat on their patio and it was just a mess. Dirty tables, chairs all over the place, and it was like eating out in an alley. I am ok with that myself but I am thinking of the owner of this place. Curb appeal does not long apply to real estate. I am not sure how new this place is but they do not even have a sign outside. Are they under witness protection ? In conclusion, the food is very good but they need to step up on the overall appearance. read more

Loli Farms - The partial view of the patio. There were others out here eating so I did not want to include their part. - Peruvian Near Me - Pasadena, California

I've been here a couple of times already and the food is amazing. They're known for their pollo a la brasa, which is rotisserie chicken cooked over real wood. The whole restaurant has this incredible smoky aroma from the wood fire oven, and it hits you as soon as you walk in. The chicken is super juicy with a nice crisp skin, and it's delicious paired with their green spicy sauce. That sauce is crazy good. I always get the garlic fries and coleslaw on the side, and both are solid. I also really like their passion fruit agua fresca. Refreshing and not too sweet. Definitely a great spot to grab lunch in Pasadena. I'll be coming back again for sure. read more

No joke, the chicken is incredibly tender & juicy. Hubby & I shared a 1/2 chicken which came with 2 sides. We opted for garlic fries & Lentil & pepper salad. The fries were crunchy & garlicky while the salad was simple yet tasty. If you're not too hungry, the portion is good enough for two. The staff proactively brought us the sauces (white & green) from the fridge as soon as we got our food. Parking is tricky as the lot is tiny, so go early & enjoy! read more

I ordered online and went to pickup. That was all fine i ordered the full chicken with garlic fries and mash potatoes. I did not like the chicken it was too salty. Didn't have a good flavor. Chicken white meat wasn't juicy. Fries were soggy. I only liked the mash potatoes. I didn't even like the green sauce. Spent over $40 so won't be going back. I couldn't sleep that night wondered what the chicken spice had in it msg?? Was soooo hyped up si i was soooo let down. read more

One star. A little over a week ago, I placed a pickup order through Seamless for Mother's Day, scheduled for Sunday, May 10th at 12:00 p.m. At 11:30 a.m. -- just 30 minutes before pickup -- I received a notification that Loli Farms had canceled the order. I immediately tried calling the restaurant multiple times and nobody answered the phone. No explanation, no attempt to help, nothing. Because of this, my family was left scrambling on Mother's Day trying to figure out an alternative meal at the last minute. Canceling a holiday order half an hour before pickup with zero communication is completely unacceptable. Extremely disappointing experience and incredibly poor customer service. read more

I had a hard time finding this relatively new restaurant and was confused as to whether I had the right address. I wish there was more parking available for this busy intersection.

I went to Loli Farms on a whim after seeing them on Instagram and tried the 1/4 chicken with fresh cut fries, fried plantains, and a side of white rice. Everything was high quality--the chicken was juicy, perfectly seasoned, and had a delicious smoky flavor. The fries were crisp, the plantains sweet and cooked just right.

No idea how you all like this place so much...genuinely was one of my worst dining experiences. Only upside is the chicken. It's good chicken. Everything else was a miss. No napkins at most of the tables, tables were unclean, flies throughout the restaurant, unable to get any assistance, bland sides, bland sauce, terrible eating area layout. Will not be going back. Not sure what I'm missing here.... read more

Not gonna lie, I really wanted to like this place but it's a no for me. First visit, they were brand new so the rough service felt understandable... figured they were just getting their footing. Gave it some time, came back a couple months later, and it was basically the same vibe--still off, still not great service. What really killed it though was the cleanliness. It just didn't feel taken care of. Inside wasn't clean, the boxes were messy, and even the parking lot looked rough. For Pasadena, it just didn't match the standard you'd expect, and honestly didn't feel super inviting. Wanted to root for them, but yeah... I'd skip it. read more

So glad I saw someone post about Loli Farms on FB's SGV Eats! You place your order at the counter, and they bring the food to your table. Since it's a casual dining spot, we also bussed our own table when we finished. We may have gone a little overboard with the ordering because we were so excited, but no regrets! We got the half chicken with yucca fries and coleslaw, a chicken sandwich, a side of white rice & plantains, a chicken tamale, and a freshly made chicha morada. The chicken was incredibly juicy and tender, and the sides were just as tasty, especially the yucca fries! They gave us both the green and yellow sauces. The yellow is mild and creamy, but if you like heat, the green sauce brings it! The chicken sandwich was made with the same delicious rotisserie chicken. It had a bit too much sauce for my taste, but my husband really enjoyed it. The tamale came out last and was absolutely worth the wait, so flavorful! We couldn't finish everything, but the leftovers were just as good the next day. So happy Loli Farms is in our neighborhood, we'll definitely be back! They also sell Peruvian groceries, snacks, and soda. read more

Great place loved the chicken, the sauce it comes with is delicious. The plantains amazing.

Was looking forward to trying this new place for Peruvian Rotisserie chicken and it met and exceeded my expectations. We ordered the whole chicken with 2 large sides and added the Salchipapas and not a crumb was left behind. It was a perfect meal for our family of 4. The chicken was delicious! Even the white meat parts were juicy. And the yucca fries had the perfect crunch on the outside and tender inside. There were only 2 people taking orders and serving but they were knowledgeable and quick. I left to go wash my hands and our order was waiting for me before I returned. Lots of seating and casual "serve yourself" plates and utensils and water. And if you love Peruvian soda, you could order the Family Style which gives you a bottle of their soda too. read more
