After reading some Yelp reviews, I bookmarked this place and finally was able to delete the bookmark after eating here. The place is great!
I have eaten Peruvian twice in LA but was looking for something good here. I ordered at the counter and then sat at one of the 2 tops they have in this small restaurant. Seating for 18--3 two tops and 3 four tops.
My order was for Tallarin verde con bistec, an order of fried plantains, and picarones for dessert. With this, I had passion fruit for my beverage.
The order was brought in a timely manner. The steak was nicely done and sliced thin and was accompanied by the pesto/basil thick spaghetti. The hot green Peruvian sauce was great! I almost put the bottle in my pocket to take with me. The lighter sauce tasted good but had no kick. The fried plantains were very good. I've always liked them andPeru Chicken did not let me down.
The picarones for dessert were wonderful--too big of an order for one--but I don't like to waste food so I finished the whole amount. Picarones are pumpkin and sweet potato doughnuts served with drizzled chancaca, a South American sweet sauce made with raw sugar and honey. The picarones had been drizzled with the chancaca and there was much left at the bottom to dip the remaining pieces.
Service was very pleasant. This is a mom and pop operation and they were both very pleasant. This is a must return place if only for some more tallarin verde!
