When I made my reservation on OpenTable, there was no option to choose indoor vs. outdoor seating. When we arrived, they tried to seat us outside--three small tables right on the street, and unfortunately there was a homeless person right next to them. That wasn't the vibe, so I declined. They let us know there were seats available at the bar and about a 30-minute wait for a table. We decided to grab a drink and look over the menu, and thankfully a table opened up pretty quickly and they moved us over. I have to give a huge shoutout to who I believe was the manager (a pretty girl in cowgirl boots)--she really turned things around for us. Super accommodating and attentive. Our waitress, Rosa, was also great--friendly, efficient, and made us feel taken care of the whole time. Now the food... WOW. It looked good in photos, but I did not expect it to be this good. Every single dish was packed with flavor--like, you can actually taste different layers and seasoning in each bite. It's rare these days not to get food that just tastes the same or bland across the board, but this place absolutely delivers. We didn't like the churros, no sugar/cinnamon I had been eyeing this place for way too long. I wish I tried it sooner and I will definitely be back. No valet parking.

This place is so disappointing. The menu sounds good but then the food is so bland and for the…read moreprice is just does NOT make sense! There's simply nothing remarkable about this place to warrant the prices and it's a real bummer. We got the aguachile ceviche and the crab ceviche and both had a funkiness to them that left us barely eating it. The chips are even boring and barely salted. Then our giant steak (we got talked into getting from the waiter about how amazing it was) was probably the worst cut of meat I have had at a restaurant! I have had better cuts of meat from Target! We had to ask for salt and sauce just to chew it and eat it because it was so chewy, gristly & bland! So disappointing! The guacamole was pretty good, nothing really to write home about, and the cocktails were fine. I've been here three times and that's plenty of tries to get an accurate sense of the place. Not coming back.

The lomo had great flavor, the ceviche was incredible and the fried rice was also really good. Everything we tried was delicious. Service was great as well. Parking can be a little tricky since it's on a busy street, but it's definitely not something that should stop you from visiting. Peruvian is always a bit pricey I saw a lot of comments about price in other reviews but it's typical that ceviche would cost $20+ for a plate.

Since I needed to…read moreeat lunch and occupy myself for a bit I decided to try the lovely Peruvian restaurant next door. Not only is the place super cute and clean but I found the food to be incredibly tasty. All three servers (Aida, Carmen and Gisela) were very attentive and a big great help with me maneuvering the extensive menu. I have not really been to many Peruvian restaurants, but if this is any way typical, then I'm certainly a fan . The question is not WILL I be back...but rather WHEN I will return. The answer is VERY SOON whether or not my car needs additional service. . One more thing to note. As I texted a few friends, talked with a few employees at Pacific BMW and casually texted and talked with friends while I ate...it struck me many people I know have been coming here regularly and ALL had similarly good things to say about this Peruvian gem in the muddle of Glendale.

Our plans that night were to go to another bar/karoke for drinks, after a wonderful dinner, but his playing captivated, us and we ended staying the night, until he finished playing!

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.

For example, if you want crispy tacos, you can have either ground beef or shredded beef. I ordered the shredded and boy was it good! Be sure to bring your patience because excellence takes time. They cook each meal as it is ordered. Everything is so fresh, tasty, and delicious! You might want to try the Mexican rice because it's wonderfully flavorful. The strawberry lemonade was sweet and juicy. Inside the restaurant, there are several seats and tables with lots of colorful scenes painted on the walls. It's very clean and the best part is it offers great shade from the hot sun. There's a small parking lot next to the building, which is certainly convenient. If you love Mexican food, this is a place you'll want to try!

Holy fuck, finally an answer, I ask if they still have my order lady says oh yeah! It's still here, the driver never showed up?

We came here on a Friday night and the place had a steady trickle of people…read more We got the spinach empanada, vegan plate and the bandeja paisa, which is a standard Colombian plate. The vegan plate had black beans, white rice, plantains, and a side salad. The bandeja paisa had beans, a fried egg, chicharron, steak, rice, plantain, and chorizo. The meat was perfectly grilled but the chicharron was a little tough but still good. The vegan plate had much flavor -- the beans were tasty and the rice fresh. They were very generous with the plantains. The complimentary tortilla chips and salsa were so fresh and delicious. The spinach empanada was a little tough - it was crispy but there was less spinach than I would have expected and the cheese in it wasn't really melted either. Overall the food was very fresh and delicious. Parking can be tricky bc their lot fits only 3 cars. We parked a couple blocks in the neighborhood. Front of the store parking also seems limited.

The sun faded exterior sign makes it easy to miss and drive passed it; therefore, look for the strip mall with El Pollo Loco in it.

Inside, you will find a vast selection of pastries, cookies, specialty candies and elegant desserts. The cakes and pasties are both delcious and beautifuly decorated, with popular favorites like tiramisu, carrot cake, and red velvet, as well as unique offerings I hadn't tried before, such as the Russian and Mikalov rollets; both of which were delightful. They also offer both whipped cream and custard filled cream puffs and I tried one of each; both were fresh and light. Its worth noting that this is more of a bakery than a cafe.
