    A great spot for a fresh, flavorful meal just off the Venice Boardwalk. I had the ceviche bowl with an Inca Kola--huge, beautiful pieces of very fresh fish that were tasty and plentiful. Everything is made to order with fresh, healthy ingredients, and each dish feels like a small trip to Peru. It looked so good--great presentation. The restaurant is tucked inside the charming Scandinavian looking court, so you'll need to step into the courtyard to find it. The ambiance is calm and inviting, with minimal but lovely outdoor seating that's perfect for a relaxing lunch or snack near the beach. Service was excellent--fast, friendly, and very welcoming. Not the cheapest option, but the quality more than makes up for it. One of the best food finds near the Venice Boardwalk.

    This place is really bomb. It's tucked away in this little alley off the Venice boardwalk called Gingerbread Court. I got the Ceviche as recommended by the owner and the Peruvian sauce it's in is so good! The bowl looks small but there's actually a lot of food in it and a generous portion of fish, it was actually much more filling than I thought it would be. There's definitely a kick the sauce that doesn't hit you immediately but it kind of builds as you eat it. The owner was super friendly and helpful and he gave us some samples of the dessert, it was some ice cream they make though I forgot the flavor. I will say, the coolness of the ice cream felt really great on the mouth after the spiciness of the bowl. My only gripe is that it's a little on the expensive side for such a casual setting where you're eating with plastic utensils, but hey that's boardwalk prices.

    This is definitely the best place to eat on the beach, ingredients are super fresh and the food is very refreshing! The owner is extremely nice 10 out of 10 service , atmosphere, and food!

    If you're looking for a fresher meal while on the Venice Boardwalk, Peruvian Bowl is a great option! It's hidden inside the adorable Gingerbread Court, so you'll need to enter the cute courtyard area first. My friend and I stopped in while walking the boardwalk over the weekend and were happy with everything we had! We loved the outdoor seating, though minimal, and found it really relaxing and nice. I was excited the Peruvian Style Poke-Bowls lived up to the hype for us. The Ceviche Bowl has big chunks of marinated fish which were tasty and that "cancha" corn adds such a fun crunch to the dish! It was great with a mashed sweet potato base keeping it unique. I also had to try the Causa because it's a dish I've never had before! A Peruvian tangy cold, potato dish, it was fun for me and I loved it. The Causa here has a creamy chicken salad on top of the mashed potato base and is topped with guacamole. It was legit perfect beach food. Just the right flavors, invoking just the right feelings to eat looking out on the beautiful Pacific Ocean. There's so much more on the menu I want to try still, great staff and such a nice little area of the Venice Boardwalk - I'll definitely be back! They're open 11am-7pm every day!

    Get the Peruvian Bowl. It's a ceviche base with a sauce that is so amazing. Rafael makes the best poke around

    There is nothing like food from Peru and Peruvian Bowl offers some great food with the smell and taste of Peru. You will be very happy you went. The place is on the Venice boardwalk so you will need to park at the end of Washington in the lot for the Venice Pier. Walk for just a bit and you will see Peruvian Bowl housed in a cute super mini mall that looks like a gingerbread house. The place is kept ever so clean and it is just so cute. It is not huge. We get our bowls to go. It is very small. There is lovely outdoor seating. The service is great. The staff is fast and friendly. I have not seen it crowed yet, but I bet when summer comes (it is winter as I write) there will be a line to order. the staff knows the food well and can guide you. All of the bowls are great. All are healthy and made to order from fresh ingredients and all of them will take you on a tiny trip to Peru. We love the spicy tuna bowl which is made with diced tuna in sesame sauce, mango, cucumber, sliced avocado, scallions, and edamame. The ingredients are dipped in a spicy mayo. The ceviche bowl is my favorite with chunks of fish marinated in a great sauce, mixed with sliced red onions, corn, cilantro, and 'cancha' corn. All is served on a mashed sweet potato base. They also have fantastic sandwiches. The chicharron is a traditional Peruvian pork sandwich and the bread is great. We also love the Butifarra which is a great ham sandwich. All of them are good. And you can make your own bowl if you want. I find it all to be a tad pricey, actually, quite pricey for what you get, so we will not go a lot, but we will be back.

    La comida excelente la atención lo máximo por el Sr Fort..... muy lindo...el ambiente excelente... muy atractivo para el turista..... Gracias... regresaremos pronto!!!!

    I'm so happy a good Peruvian restaurant came into the neighborhood! The customer service here is truly amazing. The workers made us feel like we're at home haha. So sweet and accommodating. The food is second to none. I tried the Lomo Bowl. DELICIOUS! Can't wait to come back to try everything else.

    AMAZING FLAVORFUL FOOD SERVED WITH IMPECCABLE FRIENDLY FAST SERVICE. I wish I would've taken a photo of the food, but I scarfed it down. They then brought me a sample of an amazing Lúcuma ice cream that they use for shakes and affogato. I couldn't resist, so I tried the affogato and it was heavenly.

    One of the best pan con chicharrón! I really recommend this place great service next to the beach

    March 20, 2026 | Friday | Venice Beach Boardwalk | What a fun and continued adventure when I met up…read morewith my neighbor once again, as I randomly spotted a colorful looking exotic restaurant! The location turned out to be El Huarique Peruvian Kitchen! What a delicious find that turns up the flavor and definitely the heat! Be careful what you ask for! Haha! Fish Ceviche | Yes, please! Now, at first bite, for some odd reason, I thought the dish was going to be hot, but it was cold and absolutely delicious! Taking our server Mauricio's advice, I tried each item separately on my plate and then mixed it up... Yummy! New flavors had my taste buds doing a happy dance over and over again! Haha! I would absolutely 100% get this dish again! The flavors were electric once combined! Turn up the Heat | Our server Mauricio asked my spice level and I confidently said spicy! He asked if I was sure and I told him the story about me being in India, requesting a spicier version of a dish & the Chef coming out to take a look at me, because he couldn't believe I wanted spicier! Haha! Comedy Hour | I was enjoying every flavorful bite of the Fish Ceviche, when all of a sudden my body started to heat up! I was like, I can handle a bit of spice... And then suddenly my tongue got really warm and I could hardly feel it... Then my eyes started to water... And suddenly I lost focus in the conversation I was having with my friend & the traveler! I could hardly talk, because it was honestly that spicy! Haha! I bet it was also the sneaky little red onions, in addition to the other spices! Help, Please | I spotted Mauricio and asked him if he had any bread or yogurt, because my mouth was on fire! He didn't! He recommended water, which I had already tried! My friend, she recommended plantains, which I had also tried! The traveler ended up recommending the lettuce on my plate, which ended up helping for sure! After a while, my mouth started to cool down, thank goodness! Eye Spot Spice | Just when my mouth started to cool down, my friend accidentally touched her eye, which must have had spice on it! The girl at the next table, dining with her significant other, immediately came to her rescue! I asked our server Mauricio for a cup of water so she could flush out her eye! The girl at the next table told her to rub her eye with her hair... Which oddly helped! Plantains | I can always appreciate plantains, as I love them! They arrived at our table and quite plentiful! I appreciated that the flavor was just the right amount of sweet and savory... Perfect! As conversation flowed easily between me, my friend, and the traveler! I invited him to enjoy the plantains with us, which he did! Fried Rice | My friend, ordered this dish and invited me to share it with her! OMG! I highly recommend, so flavorful and definitely shareable! I happily enjoyed every bite that I put onto my plate! Customer Service | Mauricio was top-tier! He was patient, kind and so much fun to explore the menu with! He really wanted us to have the Peruvian experience, considering it was both me and my friends first time having Peruvian food... as far as I know! Seating | Both inside and outside! We sat on the outside patio! Happy Meeting | While waiting for my friend to arrive at the restaurant, a friendly worldwide traveler, who was currently in town, helped me with the menu! Though his meal included chicken, a dish he frequently orders when he's in town, he invited me to explore the veggie part of the menu and mentioned that the food was really good here! Something made me trust his recommendation and I'm glad I did! We had fun chatting with the friendly traveler! Overall | Oh my goodness! Hahaha! Between the flavorful Fish Ceviche that was too hot to handle, sweet and savory Plantains, the customer service via Mauricio, an extension of me and my friends spa day, & other friendly customers, made for a memorable evening! I'm excited to do it again, definitely turning down the spice level and exploring more of the menu! Thanks again, Mauricio & the friendly traveler! We shall all meet again! Let's go!!

    Amazing food!!! Highly recommend…read more The ceviche is so fresh and flavorful The lomo soltado in the plate or tacos is amazing Empanadas were not my fav but good as well. They have nice outdoor patio seating right on the boardwalk in Venice Love this place and have been back multiple times

    This used to be my favorite spot for arepas, but after today's experience, I won't be coming back…read more I called ahead and clearly explained my order: three arepa orders, with one having the masa scooped out. I also specifically asked about the price and was told it would be $13 per order, consistent with what's listed online. However, when I arrived, I was told the orders would be charged separately, and the employee became visibly frustrated when I asked for clarification and requested that everything be grouped as discussed. What made the situation worse was the pricing. I was charged $15 per order, which didn't match what I was told over the phone, nor what's listed online or even on Yelp (where it shows around $10). When I politely questioned the discrepancy, the employee became argumentative and made the interaction uncomfortable. I paid, because that's not the issue--but being treated dismissively and feeling misled is. Pricing should be consistent and clearly communicated, and customers shouldn't feel like they're being taken advantage of for asking reasonable questions. Really disappointing experience from a place I used to enjoy.

    Have you ever wished for a nice cold coffee drink on a hot day or a warm arepas? Well you've come…read moreto the right cafe. Cafe Bolívar (est 2001) is a cute corner South American coffee shop on Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica. They have good selection of coffee & tea drinks, selective pastries, salads, breakfast, and special arepas. This cafe has a calming atmosphere with background music that's not too loud, and the staff are skilled. I came on a sunny warm afternoon to grab a cold drink/light lunch. I had a Cold Brew and Chicken Arepas. I enjoyed their refreshing cold brew coffee drink but so much on the pollo arepas. Its chicken was dry; arepas outside was crispy and crunchy but the inside was not moist. Moreover, their size was bloody small. Cafe's interior was naturally bright and aesthetically decorated. Indoor/outdoor seats were comfortable. Prices of the drinks were fair, however, arepas seem expensive. Service was on point. Staff were cordial. Free wifi. Plenty of street parking. Overall, it's a nice coffee shop.
