Best Peruvian Restaurant Pomona Near Me

4worldlovers: Featured on the popular KTLA 5 Burrous Bites, El Criollo Peruvian Restaurant is like no other Peruvian cuisine. It’s a gem hidden in the City of Industry, but don’t let the outside area fool you. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you’re at home. You are greeted by the Chef himself and served like if you were his special guest. As soon as you walk in you can smell the tantalising aroma of the food along with the rich energetic sounds of Salsa music in the background. The intimate setting at night makes this place a “go-to” for a romantic dinner for two.

The owner, Chef Marco, adds his own personal flavorful touches to each and every authentic Peruvian dish. The specialty plate at El Criollo Peruvian Cuisine is the Lomo Saltado, a popular, traditional Peruvian dish, a stir fry that combines marinated strips of sirloin (or other beef steak) with red onions, tomatoes, french fries, and other ingredients; and is typically served with rice. The food servings all come with his unique patented spicy green salsa (AHI) The combo is delicious! El Criollo Peruvian Cuisine also specializes in many Peruvian seafood dishes like the famous “Jalea”-Fried fish, squid, and other seafood, garnished with a pickled red onion.

Food is amazing quality along with great portions. I've tried a few things on the menu and I absolutely love the lomo saltado and just can't get away from it. The quality is among the best Peruvian food I've ever had if not the best, and I try food everywhere all over. Price is perfect and isn't expensive. Inside is also very beautiful even down to the details with the ambient lighting and also the menu looks awesome too. I just absolutely love this place and recommend it to everyone.


I've been to about 10 Peruvian places. So far this has been my favorite. When I first walked in, I was given amazing green sauce served with fresh bread. It was delicious. I ordered Lomo Saltado, Peruvian ceviche and papa relleno. The lomo was amazing! The ceviche was soooo good. The pappa was stuffed with lomo and made with yuca. I am so happy with this place. I'm bringing everyone here. The owners was so gracious and accommodating.

The food here is absolutely delicious!!! We catered for an office party and everyone enjoyed the food. We ordered the lomo saltado, pollo saltado, steamed rice, and beef noodles (can't remember the name). Only thing missing was the side of chimichurri sauce but the food was bursting with flavor and delicious!

A snug spot a little removed from the hustle and bustle of Route 66 (called Foothill Blvd in this area). The physical space here is deceptively tiny. There's outdoor and indoor seating available. A tiny bar located right by the entrance. Portions are huge! And it's a refreshing step away from the regular Mexican food. Everything is so fresh! They carry bottles of Inca Cola which is pretty tough to find unless you know where to look. All the food has a tiny spicy kick so be aware if you're sensitive to that.

4worldlovers: First time here, food was great. It was pretty busy, I did come in at 12 though which is the usual lunch hour for most. I ordered pretty quickly and the food also came out pretty fast. Seen groups of people and also people who came in by themselves. I ordered the Lomo Saltado which was Bomb and also enough for 2 people.

This is by far the best restaurant in the entire Azusa Ave. Up north, down south, you'll find nothing better than this place.

All I gotta say is the lomo saltado is the best. Never tried the chicken but it must be good too because every time I go chicken dishes are being ordered by other guests. Usually crowded (which is a good sign for a restaurant) so plan on waiting or call ahead.
