We also got the plantains and soup and the anticuchos de corazon (marinated beef heart skewers). The beef hearts were tender and seasoned and sauced well! The ceviche was very tasty. The lomo saltado was decent and the plantains were a good side. We also ordered the beef chaufa which was also good. The service was good and staff was friendly and the deal on wine was pretty awesome. The place was family friendly with Spanish music playing in the background which gave it a bit of a lively atmosphere.

Or Lomo Saltado is you prefer beef which I normally do but in this case I recommend the chicken. There are 4 or 5 El Pollo Inkas in the SouthBay so its a local favorite. This review is only for the Hermosa restaurant but all the locations are great. It's located on PCH at Aviation Blvd so its pretty easy to find. There is a medium sized parking lot but it is a very busy center so parking can be difficult sometimes. We both had the Pollo Saltado which comes with a cup of chicken soup and fresh rolls. The Saltado is shredded rotisserie chicken grilled w/ onions, tomatos, french fries and is served with garlic rice. I know, I know french fries & rice but believe me it works so wonderfully. And you must drench it in the Aji sauce, it's a magical thing and I put it on everything! The staff is friendly and the store is very neat and clean. Something that extends to the parking lot which is always well lit. If you need to walk off the meal there is a Trader Joe's & Five Below in the center.

Their conchas are always fresh and consistently well made. I love how balanced the flavor is--not too sweet, with just the right hint of cinnamon that never overpowers the bread. Soft, fluffy, and perfect with a cup of coffee. The parking lot can be a little sketchy , but don't let that stop you. If you're in the South Bay, this place is definitely worth checking out.

Such a letdown. The order was delayed 45 min and no one even felt bad about it. Get our order and the two whole chickens look suspiciously like one chicken. And they gave us the wrong order and when I called, the guy on the phone says it's basically the same thing. Nope. Chicken is not beef. And when I mentioned the major delay (which delayed our dinner) and the wrong item, no apology. I guess years of loving the place, I approached our disappointment with a light touch but maybe that gave them the impression I was okay with their delay, and their oversight of actually messing up our order. The prices have gone up and the quality and portion size has decreased and while I am slow to share reviews where I express my disappointment, it was such a bummer from a long beloved restaurant that I felt the need to update my 8 year old 4 star review.
