EL Criollo Peruvian Cuisine

"The first time here and the service was great, friendly, and accommodated a large group. I ordered the Lomo Saltado Beef, which is very tasty. The ceviche de pescado (picante) was delicious, I also ordered the Papa ala Huancaina. Everything was delicious. I recommend going to this small hidden gem."

"Great food, it's a bit hidden but give it a chance. It's food you are eating not the location, location, location. El Gordo, the owner is a great chef. He is related to houdini. Will appear great dishes, to enjoy. If you have 20 or more, there a private dining on the second floor, for friends and bachelor parties. I was told."

"Today was my first time having Peruvian food, and man it was delicious! I took a friend, and both of us enjoyed our meals, and had a nice conversation with the owner/chef! He recommended for starters the ceviche, and the main course the Lomo Saltado . I had the filet mignon. Both dishes were phenomenal! The restaurant is hidden in the industrial section of City of Industry, but well worth the find!"

"I recently moved to this part of LA and still getting to know the neighborhood. I have had Peruvian food before and if you have never had Peruvian you need to try Lomo Salteado and chicha morada you will not go wrong with this dish. This spot might be a little hard to spot since it's not on a main street and their restaurant sign color matches their building color, I missed it and had to u-turn. No one at the front desk but we're waived down and by the waittress and asked us two choose between two tables where we would like to sit down. After we sat we were given the menu and given a few minutes to decide what we wanted. I ordered a chicha morada to drink and Tallarin salteado and my partner order Lomo Salteado. I am going to say that the beef in the Lomo Salteado was very tough to eat and chew, it lacked a bit of flavor maybe just a pinch of salt. The Tallarin Salteado (picture below) the past was a little undercooked somewhat chewy, a pinch of salt would have made a difference in my opinion. The Chicha morada drink 10/10 again in my opinion. It's a small restaurant owned by a very friendly Peruvian man whom we had the opportunity to have a nice conversation with. The Above review was based on my experience, personal opinion and does not reflect the experiences of past or future customers. I will definitely go back for the chicha."

"I love Peruvian food and for some reason this place never showed up on my radar until recently. Quick review, got a new waitress who didn't know much about the restaurants food, drinks or credit card machine and made it a pretty rough experience. She didn't even show us the receipt at the end... I had it emailed to myself and I found out I got charged for 2 drinks I never ordered and upcharged me on my Lomo Saltado(I ordered regular, but she put me down for a filet mignon version). So from a customer service e standpoint, started at a 3/5, ended the night at a 1/5. Food wise, the Lomo Saltado was fantantastic, fish ceviche was fantastic and mixed seafood soup was a 4/5(loaded with seafood and goodies, but few too many fish bones and hard things for me to eat around)."
