4worldlovers: When the Peruvian craving hits, I always come to Mario’s! I came here recently for dinner, and the wait was about 90 minutes. Parking is super hard here. The small lot is notoriously tiny, and good luck with street parking. Service can be a little iffy. We’ve gotten some very sweet servers, and some not so much.

After being seated, I got my usual Lomo Saltado. When our bread and Aji was served, the waitress told us that they would charge for any more bread after that. I’m pretty sure they used to not charge for more bread… oh well. The Aji was delicious as always. I love how spicy it is! It goes well with the bread and any dish you order.

My Lomo Saltado soon came and was a piping hot humongous portion of fries, steak, onions, and tomatoes. I lathered on my Aji and went to town. The steak was delicious! Some pieces are too well done, but most are Medium Well I would say. The portions are huge, and I always have leftovers for another large dinner.

I always say I want to try some of their other Peruvian offerings, but guess I like my Lomo Saltado too much!

When you’re craving Peruvian food in Los Angeles, this is the place to go. But, be prepared for a crowd. Your best bet is to go during the week right when they open, which is what my husband and I did. There were still some people outside waiting for the restaurant to open, but we did not have to wait once we got inside. I ordered the lomo saltado and my husband ordered the pollo saltado with white meat. The meat is well flavored and tender. It came with a large portion of perfectly cooked white rice which did an excellent job soaking in all of the flavors of the stewed meat. I have never been more impressed with a Peruvian restaurant and cannot wait to return!

This place is pretty good! The parking is challenging since the lot is small, you may need to find street parking.

1) Ceviche Mixto – I loved how much seafood was in this! I couldn’t stop eating this one, so I recommend this to everyone!

2) Lomo Saltado – A classic dish to get but the steak was a bit on the tougher side compared to other places that serves this. The flavors were awesome though!

3) Saltado De Mariscos – Very delicious as well. I would definitely get this over Lomo Saltado next time, and just get a different dish since getting the two Saltado dishes was a bit redundant.

It was so nice to finally try this place. It’s definitely one of my favorite Peruvian restaurants in socal!

I’ve been here several times prior and I just have to say that this is thee best Peruvian food I’ve experienced, ever.

This restaurant usually has a lengthy wait and absolutely tiny parking lot. Be mindful of the parking laws around the community and make sure you don’t get your vehicle towed.

The restaurant is small, but does move rather quickly. Service has always been solid and the staff is really friendly and helpful. I typically order up a Lomo Saltado, but this time, I made sure they included an egg on top, at an extra cost. My kids shared the plate with noodles and steak. The Lomo plate was $14.25 and $3 extra for the egg, as well as $2 for an Inca cola. Personally, the serving is extremely huge and the bread they bring prior is a good snack. Depending on how hungry you’re, you actually may be able to share a plate.

The only drawback for me here is that the green sauce is extremely hot, but if you sprinkle it, then you’ll get a bit of the flavor and not too much of the spice.

Overall, this place is great and I wish they would expand it because there are always people waiting to eat here. The food is authentic and you won’t leave disappointed.

My fiance and I had lunch here around 2pm on a Wednesday. It was busy but there was an empty table and we were seated promptly. Despite being busy for the lunch rush, the waitress took our order and brought us warm dinner rolls with butter and our drinks. The food came less than 10 mins after ordering. Usually, it’s a bad sign when the food comes too fast, but boy was I wrong!
