After the long ride there and back when we got home and open the plate I see this burned chicken.  Brown fries

I feel sad. Second try. Burned chicken. Brown fries. 1/10. I drove there and back long way. Get home to open this. I'm Peruvian and I'm very disappointed with what they do with my favorite dish

Restaurant

This place is a 10/10! If you're trying to taste something different but flavorful this is the place! Loved it here! Their papas rellenas are delicious!! And their sweet treats are also so good specially the chocolate cake! Service is also nice.

Ceviche
Suzanne N.

Got dinner with my parents, as Peruvians my parents want to go to every new Peruvian spot to support our people. To start with, the vibes inside are like that of a takeout restaurant. By the register they have dried goods/snacks/sauces from Peru for sale. I bought a pack of Doña Pepa to take home (if you aren't familiar, they are cookies dipped in chocolate and covered in sprinkles!) The menu had a decent amount of options. We ordered: Yuca con Huancaina, Anticuchos, Ceviche, Jalea, Lomo Saltado, Aguadito, Papa Rellena. I'll start with what NOT to order. The aguadito was way too thick, almost porridge like. It tasted like it already had lime squeezed in. The taste was not what Im familiar with. The yuca con huancaina was also a skip for next time. The yuca was a little undercooked, and the huancaina tasted closer to a nacho cheese. Youre better off ordering something else. Moving onto the main dishes: * How a peruvian spot makes lomo really tells you how its gonna go. The meat was perfectly cooked. This was presented more like a deconstructed lomo since the fries and tomatoes were not tossed together with the meat and onion. The overall for this dish was 4 out of 5. They were but heavy handed with the soy sauce. Still delicious! * The jalea (fried fish and calamari) was perfect!! 5/5! Perfectly crunchy and all the seafood was great. No fishy taste. The mojarra was one of the best fried mojarra I've had in a long time. Just order it, and dont forget to ask for a side of lime. * The ceviche was good, the leche de tigre was the kind you wanna just slurp up at the end. I liked that they asked if we wanted it spicy and how spicy. My dad got normal spicy and wasnt spicy at all to us so we may just get spicy next time. * The papa rellena came with two small papas and was chicken based which threw us off. There was no indication on the menu or by staff that it would be chicken. My mom spoke up to the server that she was a little bamboozled by it The server told us some weeks they do chicken and some they do beef. We wish they told us before we ordered, or had some notice about asking what the filling of the week would be. Flavor was good. * Anticuchos had a good seasoning, they were a little on the more cooked side but they were definitely not tough as other reviews mention. The aji they serve is on the spicier side, you could tell before tasting as its not light in color. Overall good food with reasonable pricing.

Yuca

Great yuca!!! Sauce good too. Rustic and more authentic than we've had in the US. Chicha jarra is the way to go, you get a great deal! Thank you. Tasted great. Hubby got seco and Aguadito and liked both. I got chupe and yes! Was so good! Missing cheese unfortunately, that's why I took off a star. But was still good. Service was great! Parking at the door. Store with lots of Peruvian products. We went for a second order of yuca. Thank you!

We went with my son, his wife and kids. My grandson is highly allergic to dairy and other foods. When ordering, my son emphasized the level of allergic reaction he could get with minimal contact. Eli, the apparent owner, kept us informed with great detail on the care they took in ensuring, no trace of dairy was in the dish for my grandson. An example, instead of French fries that are part of the Lomo Saltado, they took the initiative to substitute them with steamed fries! They took every precaution possible. The pictures of the food included in this post should speak more than a thousand words. Not only was the presentation fabulous, the taste was authentic and delicious. Eli was very attentive and friendly. I definitely recommend this place for a wonderful and authentic Peruvian meal and not only if close by because it's worth a long drive even in LA traffic!

I think my niece that was visiting had requested something I could only find here. I honestly don't remember what we ordered back then, but we got dinner for 4 people and I recall we all enjoyed it. Niece was visiting from NY again last week and wanted dinner from Cuzco's, she said had not forgotten how good it was and she thinks about it often. Her wish came true, I ordered delivery again. This time it was only for the two of us, an order of Tallarines Verdes with Milanese Chicken, and Lomo Saltado. The food was fresh, cooked well, and super flavorful. Entrees were large and we each saved half for lunch the next day.

Arroz Chaufa Beef- very basic simple dish, with only eggs and green onions, little beef and a lot of rice. It needed some black pepper or a flavorful sauce on the side. Adobo de Chancho con Frejoles- marinated pork adobo with fried yucca , a lot of rice and beans. The pork was bland and dry, and unfortunately it didn't look anything like the photos. Dish lacked in flavor

It's been a long time since we last visited, so we decided to come back for dinner. I got the…read morechaufa de pollo ($17.49) again and enjoyed the savory flavors. It's a bigger portion than the dish I had more than a year ago. Also, this doesn't have wonton strips and peas. You order at front, and food and drinks get sent to your table. There's also a 3% surcharge to your subtotal for using a card. They cook your food to order here, and I could smell the fried rice getting prepared on the stove. The fried rice is strong in flavor but not too salty. It's similar to what you might get from a teppanyaki restaurant. The chicken was also good, but I felt that the rice had much more flavor. It wasn't really juicy as well. Otherwise, this made for a great dish, and I had some leftovers for the next day.

Any way you look at it Pollo a la Brasa is the perfect entree--scrumptious rotisserie chicken…read moreperfectly seasoned, a plateful of fries, and one of the most exquisite sauces known to man in the aji verde. Sabor perpetuates this reputation by having a nigh-perfect example of how to make this dish sing. I loved every bite of this, even at $21 for the half-chicken version of it. The service was okay--quick to answer questions and getting our food out to us in a relatively timely manner. What was nice too is Sabor didn't go the route of charging for each aji verde sauce, which I liked. When you're used to going through half-a-bottle with every polla a la brasa meal, it's very important that that wonderful concoction is ready to go when you're ready for another bite of chicken, fries, or sometimes by itself. The space is kind of limited and I really wish it had more diners coming through. But as it was it had an okay vibe to it, like you're eating at your local spot that the tourists and gawkers haven't caught up with. I think it's a prime candidate for just bringing a book to allow time for your food to digest after. I think this spot will be a new addition to the local eat rotation, especially after the Fullerton Central Library meet-ups.

Our server was initially prompt, but as the evening passed, we saw him less and less as the tables began to fill to the point we had to ask other waiters to refill our water. We ordered a bunch of entrees and sides to sample the menu. I ordered the Chef's Special which included a hanger steak, broccoli, and roasted potatoes, along with a side of the Chorizo Mac n Cheese. The consensus was that the food lacked seasoning. The sauces that were served with the dishes enhanced the flavor and added the needed seasoning. What I want to highlight is that they had cooked my steak just as I wanted (rare) and the broccoli was just how I liked it. Price is a bit steep, but you're paying for the aesthetic and atmosphere. Overall, while I'd be open to trying it again, it wouldn't be my first choice for Cuban food.

Back when I was working in Bellflower, I was here every Monday for lunch. Tried most things in the menu. Ordered: Ceviche mixto- tangy, not spicy unless you bite into the yellow habanero. Which was so large I thought it was a bell pepper! A mix of shrimp, scallop, squid, mussel & white fish. It's still a fav. Tallarin mariscos- pasta with mixed seafood in a soy sauce based sauce. Off menu and still very good. Lomo saltado- hubby ordered this. Said it was good as usual. Unsure about other comments regarding toughness of meats. Decor has changed a bit. Half wall divides length of restaurant. Possibly to create a sense of intimacy in this one large room. We will still come back. Not for nostalgia but because we still enjoy the food here. There's a possibility previous reviewers have a misconception about restaurant life. Not sure they've notice the price of groceries in general have increased. Most entrees $20 +.

If you work at a restaurant, you should probably know the menu--or at least be willing to find out the answer. The food was even worse. The seafood was rubbery, overcooked, and definitely not worth the ridiculous price. I've had better seafood for a fraction of the cost. Overall, rude service, bad food, overpriced menu, and a complete waste of money. Save yourself the disappointment and go somewhere else. Definitely will not be coming back.
