    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.

    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.

    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: 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

    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

    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.

    It's my second time here and I constantly think about this ceviche mixto instead of getting my usual lomo saltado I decided to try the mojarra frito! And wow such a delicate flavor, it's a whole fried fish! This restaurant literally tastes like home made food with lotsa love. The service is 10/10 , and I would highly recommend. Yum

The…read moreelevator is straight from the entrance, and you'll see the sign that will instruct you to press "R". It's a small open air space, and it can get full right at dinner time, but if you go right as they open at 5pm, you'll be fine without reservations. The menu is limited, but it's all delicious! The Yuca Fries are a must! Fried and topped with chorizo. All of the sides sounded really good, but these are the best! The thigh meat chicken skewers are perfectly sauced, and can be ordered as an appetizer to be shared by two. All of the main dishes are meant to be shared. The prices are up there for the portions, but it's all a real treat for the taste buds, and the view is great! Highly recommend.

We arrived around 5:30 PM on a Sunday without a reservation, but we were immediately seated upon arrival. The ambiance was relaxing and calm with a resort-like interior. Our server was attentive, yet very respectful of our private space and time, which we greatly appreciated. We never felt rushed, and were able to enjoy the relaxing time. Here is our order: Chicha No Nada with Pisco: A very refreshing drink! Adding pisco was a right choice, making it a perfect cocktail to start off the vacation. Bass Ceviche: A great Peruvian-inspired dish! Highly recommend adding the crispy quinoa crusts for additional $3. Wood-fired Skirt Steak: This dish is very similar to Lomo Saltado, which is our favorite Peruvian dish. Steak was cooked to perfection. Yuca Fries: This dish was very interesting, featuring chorizo, yuzu-cilantro, pickled ajis, and cotija. It was delicious and perfect as a side dish. While the food was excellent, the portions were quite small for dishes that are "meant to be shared" as descrived by our server. Albeit this, our dine-in experience was very positive and enjoyable overall.

He came out personally and asked if it was our first time visiting, and right away you could tell how much he genuinely cares about his customers, his restaurant, and the quality of service they provide. Juan took the time to share some of the history of the restaurant, which has been around for over 45 years, and how it has evolved throughout that time. What stood out to me most was how much appreciation he showed for his staff and chef, many of whom have been with the restaurant for over 20 years. He spoke about them with a lot of gratitude and made it clear that he sees them as a major part of the restaurant's success. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the food. He explained some of their recipes, what makes them special, and how they use authentic Peruvian ingredients. You could really hear the pride and passion he has for maintaining the quality and authenticity of what they serve. He also shared how social media, Yelp, Instagram, TikTok, and especially the support of customers have helped the business continue to grow. What I appreciated was how humble and grateful he was about it. After 45 years in business, you could still see how much every person who walks through the door means to him. Great food and even better hospitality. If you're in Downtown LA and looking for authentic Peruvian food, I highly recommend stopping by. You're not only supporting a local restaurant with decades of history, but also a business that clearly takes pride in its food, its people, and taking care of its customers. Thank you, Juan, for making our first visit such a memorable one. We will definitely be back, good vibes, delicious food!

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.

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.

What I tried: - Fried yucca - a classic and great way to start the meal - Arroz chaufa de mariscos - shrimp, squid, mussels and fried rice. This was yummy and easily large enough to share. However, the rice was a bit too much on the salty side - Tallarin saltado de carne - sirloin beef strips with spaghetti and sautéed with onions and tomatoes. So delicious, but I wish they were a bit more generous with the amount of beef given the price - Causa de Cameron acevichada - smashed potatoes with shrimp ceviche. Only available on Fridays/weekends. Beautiful presentation and tasted as good as it looked Overall a great spot to try Peruvian food in a comfortable, casual setting.

I ordered the quarter chicken with rice and salad, and I was really impressed with the portion sizes. Everything was flavorful, comforting, and gave me the kind of authentic Latin food vibes that I love. The sauce was definitely the highlight for me--it was so good that I found myself adding it to every bite. The prices are also fantastic. For the quality and quantity of food you get, this place is truly a gem. That said, there were a couple of downsides. The restaurant itself is very small, with limited seating available. The customer service also wasn't the best during my visit. Since the dining area was completely full when we arrived, we decided to place our order to go. While we were waiting for our food, a table opened up, so we asked if we could sit down and eat there instead. We were told that because we had ordered our food to go, we were not allowed to sit in the restaurant. I found that a bit disappointing, especially since we had already paid for the same food as everyone else dining in. Overall, the food was excellent and definitely the reason I would come back. If I'm in the area and craving their chicken, I'd absolutely return--just with different expectations regarding the seating situation and service.

The items we ordered were so unique and definitely felt like a true fusion of Peruvian and Japanese culture. We ordered: SPICY CRAB HAND ROLL: Wow, love the crunch and aioli in this!! Very flavorful, and the subtle crunchy texture was incredible. HOKKAIDO SCALLOP: Not sure what fermented douche paste is, but this was also a banger. It was fresh, and had an almost milky flavor to it. The bomb. SHRIMP DUMPLING w TIGER MILK AIOLI & SESAME LEAF: This was probably the highlight of our evening. Our server Gaia highly recommended this. I'm not a huge dumpling person, but she convinced me that it was worth it. I cannot rave enough about this dish. The subtle milky and creamy sauce drizzled on top of the shrimp dumpling was incredible. Idk if I'd even call it a dumpling because the shape was very interesting. The sesame leaf gave it such a refreshing aftertaste. Highly recommend this one! JAPANESE CURRY RAVIOLI: Probably my second favorite! I've never had curry ravioli before but what an audacious idea! MISO COD: Loved the little puffed things on top of the miso cod!!! Pretty standard dish, but it was really good! SALMON SKEWERS: Came highly recommended by Gaia, so of course we ordered it. Flavorful as heck, and love the sauce that it came with! BLUEBERRY PIE: Ohhhh boy, this was the most decadent and delicious pie I've EVER eaten. It came with a bunch of whipped cream, and two scoops of ice cream. The pie was so thick, it tasted like how fairy tale storybooks describe a pie made with love by someone's grandma. The slice is HUGE too, so you're def getting your money's worth for $15. Yes the food here was great, but our experience was truly elevated by the staff, especially our server Gaia! Her laidback yet enthusiastic vibe made us feel super cared for. I can't wait to send all my friends here so they can experience Hummingbird for themselves!!!
