    PESTO QUINOA SALMON
    Haolun L.

    Best restaurants I've tried in 2026. Lonzo's is the explanation to why Peruvian food is so highly regarded in the world. Every dish is a blend of innovation and a welcoming, home-like familiarity. I get flavors from Chinese food, Spanish food and American food, each unique and distinguishable. But they come together so organically that my only thought was oh this is what Peruvian food is about. Packed with the sizzling heat and punchy spiciness, this is uniquely, unmistakably Peruvian. Pesto quinoa salmon is 10/10. The quinoa soaks up pesto's creaminess so by the time all the protein is gone, it has become almost a desert, flavorful to the last grain. The veggies on the side is miraculously even more amazing than the salmon. The cucumbers are juicy and savory, offering freshness retreat from Salmon and pesto's rich flavor. Oysters are a solid 10/10--the purest expression of ceviche. Lonzo's version bridges ocean and land effortlessly, never compromising either. The acidity tempers the briny intensity while preserving the oyster's pristine freshness. A touch of salsa adds depth and intrigue, layering complexity without overwhelming the core. Everything comes together in perfect harmony, all cradled within that gleaming, natural shell. Lucuma ice cream with crepe is a wonderful way to finish the dinner. It's simple but thoughtful. In a different restaurant, this would have been a vanilla ice cream with Nutella on top, but not at Lonzo's. The ice cream is Peru's national fruit, mangoy flavor but surely not a regular mango ice cream. And drizzled on top is the caramel. There's still lot more on the menu to explore at Lonzo's. I already can't wait to revisit and be amazed again.

    Scallops on the hot skillet
    James M.

    As an alumni of CCHS, it's rare I miss any good food spots in Culver. This place was exactly what I was lookin for on a sunny Saturday afternoon for a late lunch. It's slightly bigger than a whole in the wall, quiet, nice ambiance. The staff was very attentive and accommodating. I usually get an Aronld Palmer everywhere I eat lunch or dinner. They didn't serve lemonade so the waitress had made a passion fruit juice blended with unsweetened ice tea, delicious. When seated they bring you small sourdough rounds with a green cilantro sauce. The scallops on a skillet appetizer was an excellent mix of flavor between the baby asparagus, mushrooms and red peppers, the aroma alone was enticing. Then the main corse was Lamb with Pesto pasta. It was fire, right size portions, that lamb was juicy n the plate was the right temperature throughout. The whole meal was perfect. Treat yourself or take a date. Highly recommended.

    TIGER'S MILK
    Stefany W.

    We came here for dinner because my friend loves the ceviche here and I'm glad to say that the ceviche was so good. Super fresh and flavorful. I also loved that the tigers milk came topped with calamari. For my main, I got the arroz con mariscos which was similar to seafood paella but had a more cheesy flavor. It was so good. Super flavorful and they didn't skimp on the seafood portion. My friend got the salmon pesto quinoa which she really enjoyed too. I'll definitely be back for more ceviche and other entrees in the future.

    Octopus OCTUPUS CAUSA

    We really enjoyed the food. Service is also good. Decent small place to get Peruvian food cravings.

    CEVICHE MIXTO
    Fiona W.

    Service here is amazing. Patty was great! Came on Sunday following Thanksgiving. They were having a Black Friday special. We got free drink tastings and the dishes were 15% for dining in! Loved the lomo saltado. The mixed ceviche was fabulous and the portion was pretty large. Make sure to ask for extra aji verde for dipping fries and anything else your heart desires!

    One of new favorite neighborhood restaurants! Lonzo's has been on my bucket list and I was absolutely thrilled I had the opportunity to finally try it. I came here with a friend for dinner time. When we arrived, I was nervous we wouldn't be able to get a table since the restaurant was busy and buzzing with some much energy! You can tell it's a neighborhood favorite. We waited about 10 minutes and were promptly sat by the amazing staff. The restaurant has a family feel to it. While we were there, live music was playing which added to the cozy family feeling. For food, we ordered the Lobster guacamole and chips and the pesto pasta with steak. Everything was absolutely delicious and the flavors were so harmonious. Additionally, quite a few people celebrated their birthdays that day which added to the excitement and happiness feeling of the restaurant. I highly recommend and will come back!

    Sizzling scallops
    Elaine T.

    I used to live walking distance away, but didn't try Lonzo's until I moved driving distance away. It's worth the drive if you order a few of their dishes. I sent with several friends so we got a good variety of different menu items. The scallops were done perfectly, served sizzling with vegetables, they were a hit with the scallop lovers. The salmon was also very tasty, not overcooked or under seasoned, served with a fresh salad. They are one of the few places in town who serve octopus and they do a good job, it was tender and well seasoned but expensive for the serving. A few dishes missed: the chicken fried rice had dry chicken but great fried rice. The beef tongue was sliced too thin and had no seasoning. My friends loved the caramel flan.

    CHICKEN SALTADO
    Dennis Z.

    What a delicious Peruvian restaurant. The food was great, the Chicken Saltado was very good. Service is great, the ambiance is great as well. I would definitely be back to try other things.

    Octopus Causa
    David Y.

    This is a small, friendly Peruvian spot in Culver City with great food. We tried the ceviche mixto, the octopus causa, and the parihuela. The ceviche was huge, overflowing with fish, calamari, and shrimp, and very tasty. The causa, which was nicely plated, was also well worth it. The parihuela is a delicious seafood soup that comes in a tomato-based broth. Perfect on its own, but also a great use for any bread that you might still have by that point in the meal (they are a bakery too!). It's on busy Washington Ave., but there's street parking available in the blocks behind the store. Definitely worth a visit.

    Irene W.

    Tried this for the first time and I wish I started coming earlier! This place is such a hidden gem, you would never guess this place serves such high quality flavorful dishes. We came on a Saturday evening and the place was decently filled, we didn't need to wait at all though. We got the Huancaina pasta, tiger's milk, and a seafood rice dish that I forgot the name of. Each dish hit the spot. The seafood was cooked to perfection, and the flavors were all SO GOOD. Honestly, I cannot rave about this place enough. Prices are a bit high, but the quality and expertise are well worth it. Parking is fairly easy, either in front or the surrounding streets. Service is also good, didn't have to take too long to flag someone down. Definitely a place worth trying!

    Chocolate cake

    Run, don't walk to flavor town. First of all, the service is consistently exceptional. When you are here you're family. Tamara took such good care of us. Secondly, the food. It's supreme. Seasoned well, quality ingredients, sizable portions. Presentation of the food is exceptional. Thank you again, we'll be back!

    Ceviche I think
    Dana L.

    Delicious!! Stopped here before Tate McRae lol!! Gave us fuel for dancing. I ordered the pesto filet mignon I think?? Anyways it was good and everything looked delicious.

    Maddy F.

    Lonzo's is a nice enough place and some of their dishes can be quite tasty but I find the menu limited and the food sometimes is over seasoned. Good waitstaff and a nice enough atmosphere. A bit pricey for what you get both in quantity and quality. Parking can be difficult during peak times.

Not sure if there is a consistent long line every weekend since it was a holiday, but my initial thought was either this place has really good pastries and cakes or it can be just all hype. As we made it in, you order as you walk down the selection of pastries then to the cakes. I ordered a danish with strawberries, chocolate croissant, almond croissant, tiramisu, and a yuzu cake. At the end we were pleasantly told our order came with two complimentary macarons so we got the cookoes and cream and passionfruit. Afterwards, we sat at the store to try the danish since we were hungry. Have to say it measures up to another one of my favorite patisseries that is located in Del Mar called Clemente. The danish texture was soft yet super flakey, and the thin layer of vanilla cream to strawberry ratio was perfection. It's so hard to find places that have exceptional quality croissant pastries, but this place is on the top of our list for LA. We enjoyed the cakes at home afterwards, but everything was so delicious. Unfortunately we forgot to take oir own ice packs and took a minute to get back home so the cakes slightly melted, but even after putting them in the fridge to enjoy later, they were so good!

My first time- with the high, beam-exposed ceiling and layout, has Joan's on Third vibes. No seating inside but plenty outdoors, although the closer to the entrance, you need to talk loudly above the music. I went late (to meet a friend) at 1pm. Few choices in the pastry section though it looked like they would replenish, which they barely did an hour later. Here's what I got: FRENCH SILK PIE - OMG, the chocolate mousse like filling was butter. Thick but light. The crust was dry and too thick but I could smother myself with the filling. PEANUT BUTTER HONEY RICE KRISPY - Very large, cereal was too compressed and dense. The pb flavor was fresh and natural but I did not taste honey. The marshmallow fluff on top was unnecessary but the few blobs inside the krispy was a nice textural difference. Both were $6 each. I can see why they can't sustain their business. Maybe because they're closing the bakery, they didn't want to bake excessively. But the middle tables have cute but overpriced novelties. There was a big table of just old fashioned Helms truck tins, filled with cookies for a mere $50. The prepackaged food might be good but was expensive. $12 for a small egg salad sandwich. The cured ham sandwich I noticed had deli meat ham. It's also inconvenient to wait in a separate line for coffee. That's where you can get soft serve btw. Sad to see Helms Bakery close.
