Sabor a Peru - Tallarin Verde con pollo and Lomo Saltado. - Peruvian Near Me - Covina, California

Probably one of the best Peruvian places I've tried in southern California. This is a small family owned restaurant in the corner of a small plaza. When we arrived, we were greeted by our nice lady who started us off with waters. She may have been the owner. She was friendly and helped us with our orders as it was our first time at the restaurant. For a party of 4 we ordered: Ceviche Mixto - 10/10 best Peruvian ceviche I've had. And it was full of a variety of seafood - octopus, fish, shrimp, squid. The sauce was perfect. My only complaint is that I wish I had more. Lomo Saltado with noodles - 10/10 This wasn't my order but I wish it was. It was perfectly seasoned and the meat was tender and juicy Tallarin Verde Con Pollo - 9/10 only because the lomo saltado was so good and I wish that it was my order. The chicken was still good, although just a tad on the dry side. The noodles were very flavorful and very saucy as well saltado de mariscos 10/10 delicious. It was full of seafood and very well flavored. Highly recommend for seafood lovers Aguadito de pollo 10/10 Very heart soup. This could be its own meal if you aren't extremely hungry. The soup is savory and so good on a cold day. If you love hearty soups with lots of flavor, this is a go-to! All of the plates were large and very delicious. Next time I 'll be back to order a soup for myself! Highly recommend this location if you're ever in the mood for Peruvian food or want to try something new. You won't be disappointed! read more

Found out about Sabor on TikTok and was excited to have a Peruvian place nearby. Our entrees were delicious (arroz chaufa de mariscos and tallerine saltado de camarones) but I found the frijoles to be sweeter than what I'm used to and the salsa criolla very mild in flavor. They did have the best salsa verde I've tried in Southern California. Next time we'll stick to entrees but we are excited to go back. read more

Absolutely love it here! Food is amazing, fresh, very clean. It was my first time coming here with my parents and husband and I'm in love. If you're around the area, I definitely recommend! Service is great at the owners are extremely friendly and kind. 10/10 read more

Sabor a Peru is always a great place to come and get your Peruvian food fix in the area. This place is so welcoming to the patrons. The entrees are always hot when they come out. Try the steak empanadas which are a nice appetizer. Made with nice chunks of steak and piping hot when it comes out. Don't forget the ají sauce. Great food and great service. read more

4 stars is for the whole experience. I give 3 stars for the food, and 1 extra for the great service. The restaurant was very clean and has nice, vibrant framed art. Service was very friendly and quickly while the food was still served piping hot, for the most part. I ordered the lomo saltado, chaufa de pollo, and a beef empanada . The food smelled really good when it was handed over. The lomo saltado had a lot of visible pepper but it wasn't overwhelming. The other place I like to order the dish from has a bit more sauce, flavor, and tender meat. I didn't mind this restaurant's version overall and finished the leftovers. The aji verde has a good kick to it which helped elevate the dish, and is probably one of the things I liked most. Unfortunately I really didn't enjoy the chaufa de pollo. The first bite or two was okay but I realized it was overly salted. I had someone else try it and they agreed. I did not finish this one. The empanada was served cold but the flavor was good and the meat was tender. It has great reviews on here so maybe I'll give it another try. read more

Had the best meal with my mom at this Peruvian spot and I already can't wait to go back. We ordered the ceviche, tallarín verde, and lomo saltado con chow mein, and everything tasted incredibly fresh (the staff even told us it's all made in-house, which you can absolutely tell). Every dish felt like it was made fresh! We finished with lucuma ice cream and homemade alfajores, which were the perfect ending. Such a warm, family-run restaurant serving truly authentic food. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to. read more

Sabor a Peru - Peruvian Near Me - Covina, California

This place is a small restaurant located in the corner of a small plaza that has some simple decor and posters broadcasting their food. The interior is clean with several tables and a few Christmas decorations up. We ordered a tallarin Verde, bistec a la pobre with sunny side up egg, and chaufa al pollo. The chicken fried rice is delicious with plenty of meat and not overly oily if a bit salty. The green spaghetti was rich with cheese but could use more pesto or whatever green condiment they use. The beef on both beef dishes was tender, but lacked impact in terms of seasoning. The fries and plantains on the bistec was pretty good, but I didnt try the white rice or egg. All in all the food was very delicious, with the favorite being the chicken fried rice, but there is a discrepancy in price due to them using outdated menus at the time. Something worth checking out if you enjoy Peruvian food or are in the area for other matters. read more

This place just got broken into. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or ew. Everything here is made fresh from scratch, and Their family owned and operated. I got their steak empanadas, tacu tacu de lomo, and alfajores to try. The steak empanadas had a flakey a bit sweet crust and was packed with tender flavorful steak that reminded me of the tomato soup meat my grandma makes. So really comforting. The tacu tacu de lomo had savory, mushy rice mixed with starchy soft beans topped with a good amount of meaty not chewy steak, juicy tomatoes, and crunchy onions. They even gave me this a bit spicy, creamy, bright sauce that paired really well with it. The alfajores were basically like citrusy sandy shortbread cookies with a smooth gooey caramel sandwiched in the middle. Portions are massive, people are nice, and they could really use some help right now after being broken into. So definitely come check them out cuz this place is lowkey pretty good. Steak empanadas $5 Tacu tacu de lomo $21.99 Alfajores $7.50 read more

Great little spot with delicious eats. I got the lomo saltado and tallarines Verde and they were both well made and filling. Their alfajores cookies are amazing! Definitely recommend trying them if you haven't. These peruvian cookies have a firm crust with caramel in the middle. Call ahead or go early because they tend to sell out of the cookies, but even then they have other great options to eat. The staff was so friendly and so attentive. It's always a treat to go back! read more

You can't see this business from the street. It's tucked in the corner. My Peruvian friend and I ordered the Lomo Saltado and a mixto Marisco platter with shrimp, octopus, etc. which had a few pieces of fried shrimp on top. The Mariscos came with lots of marinade called "Leche de Tigre." According to the owner, this marinade cures colds and flus. These dishes were so fresh and flavorful. Their seasonings were on point. We also ordered a sweet purple corn drink that's made from corn at 13,000 feet in the Andes. It's big enough inside to have a large group and catering is also available. The owner was very kind and we talked about the struggles of being a small business owner and how his business is word of mouth or Yelpers. We were the only ones in there for lunch on a Thursday. Please support this small business. read more

The restaurant is tucked in the corner of a small strip mall with ample parking. We came during lunchtime on a weekday right when they opened so we were the first patrons there. Inside looks a little dated, but it was clean. We were greeted warmly by an employee who offered some good suggestions. We ended up trying 3 different chicken dishes. It took a little while to get our food but understandable as we saw that same employee over the stove, flames flying, cooking our food from scratch. I got the Pollo a lo Pobre and the chicken was moist and flavored nicely, I loved the addition of the egg to the rice and of course plantains to complete this very tasty dish. We all enjoyed our meals and devoured it quickly. It looks like we will be adding this to our lunch rotation! read more

I haven't been here in a long time and since I was craving Peruvian food, I wanted to see if the flavors are better than other known Peruvian restaurants in the area. The cashier taking orders was sweet and taking my order was quick. I waited about 10-15 minutes for my food and I could smell the amazing aromatics in the air. I ordered a Pollo Saltado and Lomo Saltado. I needed to find out which one I prefer and figured my son would choose the one he loved. The portion of the dish is plenty to share. The beef has great flavor but, I wish it was cooked medium. It was slightly tough but, overall a great dish. My preference was the chicken. The flavor profile is delicious and if you like garlic, you'll love the chicken! In my humble opinion, these flavors beat the other known Peruvian restaurants in the area. Please checkout this restaurant if you're in the mood for a comfort meal. read more

Came here for an early evening dinner with a friend. It was empty but within an hour, more people arrived. It's run by a lovely couple I think who is extremely friendly. My friend and I ordered the lomo saltado. It comes with a spicy green sauce. If you like spicy, the sauce is for you. A little goes a long way. The rice was a little cold and the sauce was a little salty. The fries were perfectly cooked. The beef was tender. I look forward in trying other items on the menu. read more

My twin and I ate there a few days ago and service, food, and ambiance were great. Will be returning to try other delicious menu items.

Meeting with local prospects and they loved Peruvian food.... Diego was our host and very friendly.... owners of other Peruvian restaurants in Southern California appear to come by for some L.A. Peruvian flavor which is a good sign. We are suckers for nice ceviche and were definitely not disappointed. Very fresh, with conch and proper acidity Lomo saltado was OK but we do remember some more flavors in there..... perhaps a Friday evening thing and a temporary dip. Dessert however, awesome. Lúcuma Ice Cream and Alfajores, please make room or both of them. Lastly, the place itself is simple but the noise levels are low and bringing a larger party should be no problem either. If you're in the area, definitely pay a visit. read more

My husband and I came to eat here on "date night". We had gone to the bagel shop next to it a week before and saw this place so we had to try it. So glad we did. We had Lomo Saltado and Lomo Saltado a Lo Pobre. SO delicious! Lomo Saltado a Lo Pobre came with platanos Fritos and an egg. Everything was a 10/10 and would definitely order again! Oh and the salsa verde is spicy and so flavorful! The owners were super friendly. They gave us a couple of their delicious empanadas to take home. All in all it was a great place and I highly recommend it! We will go back again. read more

amazing flavor, wonderful costumer service! would definitely recommend. Beutiful art on the walls.

The food was delicious! My favorite was the ceviche, I was expecting Mexican ceviche but instead it was Peruvian version and it was so different but so good! If I had to say it was closer to sashimi carpaccio than what I'm used to but the milk it was cooked it was actually so good and I can't wait to order more! read more

One of the best Peruvian food I have ever tasted! I took the guy I've been talking to here and he was also impressed!

I was near the area and craving Peruvian food but the other options were closed Monday so I gave this one a shot. It's located in a small quadrant and is a bit difficult to see and it's a fairly small restaurant. You need to order at the window so it almost feels semi-fast food. Business was slow as there were no customers the entire time that I was there around noon. The wait took longer than expected but the food looked good. Unfortunately the loma saltado flavor was not as expected and too salty. The pesto chicken breast was ok but a bit dry. I did like how they give you a bottle of the green sauce which was needed. Overall, I don't think business is good when no one is there at lunch and the manager comes to ask for a Yelp review. The reviews for this restaurant is absolutely suspect. I think there could be potential if business was better and they churned food out consistently but I'd likely go with other options. read more
