Ceviche Mixto
Orsolya D.

Our culture is filled with countless examples of pick-and-chose, this or that competitions: dog versus cat people, chocolate versus vanilla, Coke versus Pepsi, Apple IPhone versus Samsung Galaxy, DC versus Marvel and the list goes on and on and ON. Another famous battle is that of Peruvian food in Hollywood... Mario's versus Inti versus Natalie. Most Angelinos have their strong opinions on which is better (although there is room for everyone!); and I am half way through my own conclusion having tried Mario's and now having finally tried Natalie. Natalie's is a Peruvian staple in Hollywood holding real estate in a small strip plaza on Hollywood Blvd near the Bronson intersection. Careful, and don't blink or you will miss this establishment. Am I exaggerating? No. Natalie Peruvian is small... like mini pony small. So small that you better hope there is an empty table or you are out of luck and will have to wait to dine. However, don't let this deter you or you will lose the opportunity to enjoy some tasty Peruvian cuisine. The menu at Natalie includes traditional Peruvian comfort food with a focus on seafood ingredients featuring ceviches, soups, carne and chicken dishes, fried rice and of course fish galore. Plus, dessert for your sweet tooth like flan, Peruvian ice cream and cookies. My boyfriend and I arrived to a full restaurant on a Sunday (although that isn't difficult due to the small square footage); but were able to snag the last available table. There is something very home-y and welcoming at Natalie which extends to the staff whom are kind, friendly and make you feel like family. Natalie offers tableside bread and whipped butter plus the special spicy green sauce while browsing the menu to wet your appetite. To kick off our dinner, my boyfriend and I started with the Ceviche Mixto (fish, shrimp, octopus, squid in lemon juice and spices - $19.99) to share. I have been craving Lomo Saltado for MONTHS so I already knew it would be my choice (beef strips sautéed with onions, tomatoes and French fries served with rice - $19.99) while my boyfriend chose the Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos (seafood fried rice w/scrambled eggs and green onions - $20.99) for our entrees. Natalie doesn't skimp on portions nor forgets to highlight plate presentation as the plate are large and filled with bright colors and fresh ingredients. The Ceviche Mixto came complete with yucca, Peruvian corn, and large shrimps & seafood that is bright and refreshing; and although I would have liked slightly more acidity - this is some great ceviche! My Lomo Saltado was DIVINE! The beef was tender and perfectly seasoned but not overpowering the sauce, fries or veggies. This dish is a heavenly orchestra! My boyfriend has never tried Lomo Saltado (what?!?!?!) - and he was in love. My boyfriend's Arroz Chaufa de Mariscos was some damn good seafood fried rice! Light and plump rice with perfectly cooked seafood; this dish is a warming blanket of food. I would have preferred more seasoning but I am a lover of heavy seasoning and spice. Basically, Natalie Peruvian serves excellent food at a bang for for your buck. Natalie may be at competition with Mario's and Initi (try them all for yourself to decide); but they are certainly a brilliant choice for affordable and delicious Peruvian fare in a family atmosphere. Even if you have to wait for a table - Natalie worth it!

The food is really good. Hot and fresh. The green sauce is okay. I'm not a fan. The bread is soft and fresh tasting! Definitely come here for fresh rice. Service was good and Ambiance is dark and relaxing.

Haven't been here in years. Used to live within walking distance, and was a favorite. Just had lomo saltado and plantains. BOMB Tried a jugo called Chicha Morado. AMAZING. Definitely would recommend!

Loma Saltado

A Peruvian gem tucked away in a strip mall absolutely delivers. Perfectly seasoned lomo saltado with tender beef, fries soaking up that savory sauce, and fluffy rice on the side. Bright, fresh ají verde that actually has depth, not just heat and would be good on just about anything. Finished it off with plantains and a creamy Peruvian dessert that hit exactly right. Delicious food. Bold flavors. Attentive and friendly staff. This is the kind of place you remember and come back to.

The food is Delicious, the server was very attentive, and the restaurant is clean with great music. 10/10 reccomend

38. Lomo Saltado

The Lomo Saltado was full of flavor and served in a generous portion. The staff was friendly and extremely knowledgeable, offering excellent recommendations. We also tried the costillas de puerco as an appetizer. Their green salsa was to die for, I wish I could've purchased a bottle! If you're in the area, be sure to stop by and enjoy a taste of Peruvian culture.

Food: tasty! Orders the cancha appetizer had to get another one cause it was so cool the chicharrón chicken too Service: suuuper personalized kind and so needed after a long day of work Ambiance: great music playing

First time here and very impressed by the service and quality of the food! Jesus is so friendly and attentive, and not a long wait for the food. The ceviche is so refreshing and flavorful. The Lomo Saltado is perfectly cooked, very tender. The appetizers are also very flavorful. Everything is perfect! Will return.

We come from San Jose, and we were in the mood of some fresh fried fish; and we made the right choice. "Mojarra-Whole Fried Fish" was amazing, we also tried 7 marea soup - seafood , and a delicious ceviche. The service was so good, nice environment and music. I recommend it. Thank you.

Food was authentic and homey, full of flavor, fresh and tasty. Service was helpful and friendly. Ambiance was clean and homey. Menu has more items which I would come back to try more items on their menu.

Tried #s 55 and 75 for the first time today, absolutely loved it and the service was amazing as always

I've been coming to Natalie's for about 7 years and it never disappoints. Went adventurous and tried something new today and absolutely loved it and the service is amazing as always

I've had these photos sitting in my camera roll for quite some time, and I kept telling myself,…read more"I'll leave a review soon." When I finally logged into Yelp to do just that, I was genuinely saddened to see that this place has since closed. It honestly broke my heart, because this was one of those dining experiences that truly stayed with me. From the moment we arrived, the ambiance was stunning--beautiful rooftop vibes, warm energy, and a space that immediately made you feel like you were about to experience something special. The food itself was absolutely phenomenal. Every dish we tried was thoughtfully executed, beautifully plated, and bursting with flavor. You could taste the care, creativity, and intention behind each bite. The Peruvian inspiration throughout the menu was both authentic and elevated, striking the perfect balance between comfort and sophistication. One of the most memorable parts of the experience was the chef herself coming out to introduce herself. She was incredibly kind, welcoming, and passionate. You could tell she truly poured her heart into her food. She took the time to explain the inspiration behind the dishes, and it made the entire meal feel even more meaningful. That level of personal touch is rare and so appreciated. Looking back at these photos now just reminds me how special this place was. Delicious food, a talented and thoughtful chef, and an overall experience that left a lasting impression. It's such a shame this spot is no longer around, because it truly deserved all the love and recognition. If the chef ever opens another concept, I will absolutely be first in line. Thank you for such a memorable meal--this is one I won't forget.

Food was great. I ordered one drink: PISCO PAINKILLER and it was all foam, ice, and only 3-5 sips…read moreof the drink itself. Not worth it for only a few sips. It was cashless payment. I just saw my receipt and there are all these up charges: 1% service charge, 4% benefits surcharge, and another charge to use the cashless Sunday platform fee of $1.49, plus automatic gratuity, in case you didn't know and you tip on top of that. For the quinoa beet salad and a drink it was almost $60, not worth the meal but it was a cute rooftop place to try out.

It's better to come right around when they open to escape the lines. Doesn't matter when you come, people will come in drones to eat this delicious food. They do a tasty Lomo Saltado ($22.75) and the portion size is MASSIVE, it could easily be shared among two people. I ate the whole thing and immediately entered a food coma and my belly was smiling..I swear. They bring a complimentary hot dinner roll with butter before they bring you your dish. The green aji verde is spot on, it's spicy, but not overly spicy and it has great flavor. Prepare to cover your food with this delicious sauce. I will definitely be back for Lomo Saltado and to try other dishes. FYI, There's a 3.5% charge for using a credit card, so pay cash and a save a bit.

We paid $86 plus tip she didn't deserve for lomo saltado, pescado frito and shrimp cerviche. $100 for 2 people and couldn't even get a refill. I'm good with paying that price if the service reflected that. In conclusion food is good- but not good enough to pay the high prices and bad service.

Aguadito de pollo really tasted like a savory delicacy, tender chicken and a good deal at under $7 for a decent-sized cup. Overall, it's pricy but the dishes are delicious and thoughtfully made.

The Peruvian food is still as good now as it was then. I ordered the Aquadito de Pollo which is a chicken soup with a distinct herbal flavor. There is plenty of tender chicken in the soup. It was a good start to my main which was Saltado de Pollo, my favorite. The dish was nicely prepared with a good ratio mix of chicken, onions, tomatoes, and French fries. It was not too salty at all. Rosty seems to make an exemplary Saltado de Pollo. The Chicha Morada was refreshing with the meal. I would return to Rosty if I am in the area again. Dining areas are comfortable with staff being friendly and efficient. The neighborhood looked gentrified with many other businesses in close proximity to explore. Street parking is usually available on the side streets if none is found in front of the restaurant.

From the moment I placed my order, the experience felt unwelcoming. The gentleman (stocky-Asian like, wearing a mask) who took my order was neither particularly friendly nor helpful, which wasn't a great first impression. Things became even more frustrating when my family and I sat at an empty table while waiting for our food. We had been seated for approximately five minutes when an employee approached us and stated, "This table is for the people who came before you." Not wanting to create an uncomfortable situation, and seeing the other family standing with their plates in hand, we politely got up and gave them the table, but I was thinking this pace needs a better process. I did mention to the employee that if the restaurant has a specific seating policy, there should be a host or someone clearly managing the seating arrangements to avoid confusion. To put things into perspective, the restaurant has a very casual, fast-food-style atmosphere, similar to El Pollo Loco. It's the type of establishment where customers would naturally assume they can sit at any available table. There was nothing to indicate otherwise. Overall lack of hospitality, communication, and customer service. A little friendliness and professionalism can go a long way, especially when welcoming first-time customers. Unfortunately, I left with a bad impression rather than a memorable dining experience. Based on the service and atmosphere alone, I would not recommend this restaurant to others. A restaurant doesn't have to be upscale to make its guests feel welcome. Good hospitality should be part of the experience, regardless of the setting.
