My husband and I were looking for the Peruvian Chicken soup called Aguadito, with the spicy green sauce and Mi Patria restaurant did not disappoint! It was delicious better than other places we've tried, we've gone back a few times, and the food is always fresh and great! The owner Manuel is also very nice and friendly! Highly recommend you checking this place out for lunch or dinner! They also play nice music which created a welcoming atmosphere. read more

Food is great and service was excellent!!! We have been eating here for years and we love it here!!!

No se.. Al ENTRAR huele bien feo. La comida simple y sin sabor. Pollo à la brasas no me gusto. Luego probe el ceviche y mio asco.. LOMO saltado ESTA mas o menos. Este lugar le doy un 5/10 read more

Pescado frito, or fried fish, is always a winning choice. The flavor of the fish is incredible, and paired with rice and onions, it's straight fire. It's one of those meals I'm always happy to eat. Don't forget to add some ají verde to take that flavor to another level. read more

Mi Patria Restaurant - Pescado Frito & Maracuya - Peruvian Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

The food is delicious, my family has been coming here for years but over the years the service has changed and don't know it we'll be coming back. The only server seems to always be in a bad mood and not very attentive. She is the only server so we always have to wait a while to be served or get something we need. Not to mention the fact that they've gotten greedy with their Ají. We loveee the Ají and they used to serve it in a bottle now they give you a small plate and have to keep asking for more. It's uncomfortable to ask since she seems mad all the time. We just don't enjoy going anymore and ask that they make those changes to have a more pleasant experience. After all service is everything. read more

My family and I have been coming here for a while and we have always loved the food and service. The Leche de tigre is also a great option, we will continue to come here. read more

I went here on a date friday night, I picked this place because I was craving Lomo saltado and it was the best I had in the past. So the name has changed, I haven't been here in about six months and I am assuming it is under a new management. The food was still excellent but I did deduct a star because there was only a few pieces of steak on my plate and before the meat ratio to fries and rice was much more generous and fair. Also, they do not serve the hot bread with butter before your main course anymore, I had to ask for it and was given one small cut off piece of what seemed like french bread, not the tasty rolls they used to serve. Nonetheless, the marinade on this plate remains the most flavorful and top tier I have ever tried and I will be back soon. The prices have gone up slightly but it was not an issue because the gentleman I was with paid for everything and told me to enjoy and get whatever I wanted. They ran out of inca soda in a can but again, not a dealbreaker. The waitress working that evening made sure we had everything we needed, she seated us promptly. She was polite, efficient, and friendly. This is forever my spot for delicious and fresh peruvian food. read more

Mi Patria Restaurant - Beef lomo saltado. Excellent! - Peruvian Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

Called to place an order for a pollo à la brasa with salad and fries. The man on the phone asked if it was okay because it would be 50 minutes, I put him on hold to confirm with my family and we all agreed it was fine. I told him yes 50 minutes is fine, and he said let me take your order then, and give me an hour just in case. I said no problem, sent my mom to pick up the chicken at 2:45pm and they said it'd be another 40 minutes. I had her ask since he gave me a wait time of an hour, and she mentioned I called at 1:45pm and he said no you called at 1:46pm and it'll be another 30-40 minutes. It seems a bit absurd to wait an hour and a half for one chicken. We ordered a few chickens from them on Christmas Eve and had no issue, very dissatisfied with their service today. read more

Great service and the Peruvian food is the bomb!! Authentic!! You must have the shrimp ceviche!! Will come back ,

Hands down the BEST Lomo Saltado I've ever had I've tried Lomo Saltado from at least 30 different places over the years, and Mi Patria left me speechless. From the first bite, I knew I found the one. The beef was juicy and tender, the onions and tomatoes were perfectly cooked, and those golden fries? Soaked up every drop of that rich, savory sauce like they knew they had a job to do. But the real showstopper? That green sauce. Spicy, bold, and exactly what it should be. Not watered down, not shy -- it's got real heat and real flavor. It ties the whole meal together like a perfect final note. Mi Patria isn't just good -- it's unforgettable. If you know Peruvian food, you'll taste the love and authenticity right away. And if you don't? This is where you start. read more

Welp, just had this for dinner last night and I was first stunned by the price increased for just a plate of Lomo Saltado. I used to pay around $19 and I was charged 24.92. No drink just the plate! The rice also tasted old and was hard. I didn't really enjoyed it. I'll most likely not return and just grab my craving elsewhere. read more

I came to eat at this restaurant back in September and it was so good and delicious, the service was great and the food was even better. The food tasted delicious and fresh with a lot of flavor and the workers were very polite and friendly, would definitely eat here again. read more

I came here on 11/16/25 with my family, and there was a dead smashed roach on my utensils. The owner refused to admit of the cleanliness of the restaurant and denied it was a bug on my knife. The waitresses are full of attitude and were disrespectful to my family and especially my mother. I was cussed at and told I purposely put a roach there. The owner went to the extremity of calling local authority when there were several health and safety hazards within the restaurant. The food was good but not at the risk of getting sick and not eating with properly cleansed utensils who knows if the place is even clean. Go and eat at your own risk. read more

Es un lugar que no lo recomiendo, es un lugar donde las cosas no aprecian a sus clientes y que el tipo que está en la cocina creo que es el dueño es la persona más grosera y respetuosa y que no sabe manejar un negocio. La forma es que le habla a sus clientes, diciendo que ahí no es un Fast Food, como si yo no supera que es un Fast Food que por eso la comida se tarda tarda en la comida. Y aparte cuando la traen la trae mal hecha read more

Prices too expensive now and they hardly give you any meat with your lomo salatado it use to be better before this new management sucks

PROS: - The Lomo Saltado was BOMB. - The prices appear to be cheaper than the regular Peruvian place I used to go to. - The portions were very generous. I was definitely full after my meal. - The GREEN SAUCE was the boss! It was very flavorful, but not too spicy. - Not sure if those other reviews about getting a little bit of meat was just a fluke, but my Lomo had a ton of meat. I also liked that they put a lot of onions as well. - The lady that prepared my order was very friendly. CONS: - None. FINAL THOUGHTS: My wife and I have found our new Peruvian cuisine spot! We will be back. read more

No place is perfect but the Peruvian food here is great! The best local Peruvian spot.

Hands down, best place for pollo a la brasa! My family always buys our pollo from Mi Patria. May it be for parties, thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years, this is my Peruvian family's go to spot. The chicken is always seasoned to perfection and succulent---never dry always on point. Again can't rave enough about how awesome they are. Highly recommend! read more

Honestly this place need more positive reviews. I'm always placing my order through DoorDash. I've never had a bad experience with my any of my orders. Everything is so delicious! I had ordered my bf some food for him to come home to and he loved everything. The tallarin verde and chicken soup are my favorite. read more

Yes and no recs. based on experience: Lomo saltado - no. Too salty and no flavor. Arroz con mariscos - yes. good flavor don't be surprised because it only comes with calamari rings, few shrimps and 1 mussel. Ceviche mixto - no. flavor not good at all. Few pieces of fish, 3 shrimps, 1 Mussel and lots of calamari rings as filler. Chaufa de mariscos - no. Excessively salty and again lots of calamari rings, 1 mussel and 3 shrimps. Tallarin verde - it's ok. Milanesa de pollo - yes. Generous portion and good flavor. It comes with rice an fries. Room for improvement. Will give it a try again in few months. Best lomo saltado in pico rivera? So far el tondero @ slauson and passons. read more

Mi Patria Restaurant - Cebiche mixto. Under that mountain of onions few pieces of fish. - Peruvian Near Me - Pico Rivera, California

TL; DR Overpriced bland food. Chewy meat/seafood. Tried their Lomo Saltado, beef was chewy and not properly seasoned. Also tried their Chaufa de Mariscos (Seafood fried rice). The rice was undercooked and bland. Shrimp was chewy. The Parihuela (fish soup) sounded great but ended up being very bland. Fish and shrimp in the soup at least had a decent texture though no flavor. The mussel didn't taste fresh. Papa a la Huancaina was okay. Didn't think the sauce was very good, but it was the best item we tried. Not only was the food not good, but the prices were pretty high for the poor preparation (about 16 for each item we ordered except appetizer). Would not eat here again. Pros: + Didn't enjoy anything here Cons: - Chaufa de Mariscos - Lomo Saltado - The Parihuela read more

Food is good, almost got the 5 stars, but i order over the phone i asked if i could exchange the rice for beans they told me yes, went to pick up my food, right before i left to ask for my receip Few minutes later got home and realize the gave me beans as well as rice, got charged $4 for an order of beans whenbi asked for an exchanged, they could of told me they can't change things on plates, understandable, but they just add an order on their own without asking me if is ok . THAT I DON'T APRECIATE, ITS NOT EVEN THE MONEY, BUT THE ACTION TAKEN read more

Very good lomo saltado it's juicy and just a go to Lomo Saltado. The hospitality and kindness check so nice

The name has changed to El salto de fraile. We went yesterday and my girlfriend got lomo saltado and I got the tallarín saltado with green sauce. It was 10/10 fantastic food! I haven't had Peruvian food this good since the first time I had it! After looking for so long for a good Peruvian spot after my original place got too expensive for the quality they were doing, this is the new spot. Peruvian food will always be expensive in the states but this place is worth the price hands down. read more

We've ordered takeout and UberEats from Mi Patria a few times since Covid-19 started. Every time has been awesome! Our go-to order is ceviche de pescado, lomo Saltado, and a chaufa de pollo. Good portions, fair prices- no complaints here! read more

Great food. Very fresh and very nice service. Love it. Went several times when we were in town.

This place is very delicious. The food can take quite a bit of time, but its definitely worth the wait. I've never had any complaint with their food. I usually stick to my favorite items at restraunts, but I'm always inclined to try different things and switch it up here all the time because everything has always been so satisfying. Happy eating! :) read more

If you are thinking of coming here do yourself a favor and don't. Cons: Over priced food. Spent $125 for something that was not worth over $75. Just take a look at their website and that tells you a lot about their business as a whole. Website has outdated info and prices. Even the actual menus are lame...one single sheet of regular paper laminated yet somehow more wrinkled that a wet, squeezed t-shirt. No pictures to have ANY idea of what you're buying. We went on a hot day...it was 104 outside and these people had no AC on! When we first walked in we walked out as the restaurant was 100% empty. And inside there was a whole different name for the restaurant. It's suffering of identity crisis. Out of 4 dishes we bought ONE was decent Peruvian Food. Not great...just decent...because the Lomo did have a good taste but it was tough. The service was a 4 out of 10. We had to ask for ice and the Chicha was WARM. I am only giving it a two because the Lomo had a decent taste and another was ok although about 40% overpriced..so I'm being VERY generous with my stars...otherwise if I would I would give it a .5 stars. Oh yeah, we had to listen to ugly Peruvian music at a higher than ideal volume. Least they can do is play the nice Peruvian music. Not the taka taka taka music with non family friendly lyrics. Yes...if it's not clear we will not be going back. Oh yeah, even the fork and knifes sucked. They bent when using them lol. read more

Every time I go to this place it's always empty. Today, I took my daughter and my english bulldog Luigi to eat. Again, the place was empty. We sit down and the waiters told us they don't allow dogs. Please do not go to this place. This place discriminates against dogs. All dog lovers please do not go to this place. Luigi is well trained, We will tell all my friends to avoid going to this restaurant. Thank you. read more

Food is Good. I just wish someone spoke English. My order is wrong every time. I'm over it!

Ordered takeout and the food exceeded our expectations. We are a family of five very picky people. We ordered a pollo saltado which was absolutely delicious good ratio of chicken of chicken to veggies. Also ordered a rotisserie (well seasoned) chicken which came with a side of rice and french fries. The aji sauce was the star very flavorful and spicy! Paid $36 total to feed our hungry family. We will definitely be ordering again soon! read more

Fantastic Peruvian food! I ordered the roasted chicken dinner that came with fries and a green salad. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and tender. The fries were golden and perfectly cooked. I highly recommend it! read more

I ordered a fish cooked in a stew with tomatoes, onions, and yucca (I forgot the name sorry!) with an addition of seafood which included shrimp, squid, and mussels. I asked them to leave out the octopus. Ordered with rice. My food was delicious, and the aji sauce was surprisingly spicy which was great! The worst part of the meal were the mussels, which I would ask them to leave out next time, as they did not taste fresh. Even the white rice was delicious and had flavor. I wasn't expecting much based on the review stars, but I was pleasantly surprised. read more
