The Ambiance seemed nice although I only have gotten take out on the two times I've gone. The first being Valentine's Day I got it to go in the second time was last night. Service is great and the food was delicious. My wife had the Shrimp Chow Mein both times. I had the pork fried rice the first time it was delicious and the second time I had their most popular dish Lomo Saltado. It's definitely in my rotation and conveniently located five minutes from home.
Tengo algunos años aquí en LA, eh probado en distintos restaurantes peruanos y la sazón y el sabor no me resultaban tan gratificante. Hoy buscando restaurantes, llegamos aquí EL HUARIQUE VENICE BEACH. Pedimos un ceviche y arroz chaufa. En la primera cucharada se vino todo mi PERÚ en la mente. El sabor es increíble, todo muy rico. Desde hoy se volverá en mi restaurante FAVORITO. Y nada que decir sobre la EXCELENTE ATENCIÓN. MUY RECOMENTADO TODO
Did not expect such great food from a spot on Venice Beach. This is a must try for tender succulent beef cooked to perfect. May I add that they kept their tables clean and the guy working on 10/19/24 around lunch time was superbly courteous and provided great service. This is a must try!
Stopped by this place on a whim one day when I was at Venice beach and OH MY GOD, what a gem!! Lomo saltado is my regular Peruvian order and this place did not disappoint! Super flavorful, loved the spicy green sauce. My partner got the pork sandwich and it was excellent as well. The servers were friendly and attentive. I had a great experience here. Small little shop with 4 tables inside and 4 tables outside. Check it out!
Great meal here after checking out Venice beach and walking up and down the side board walk. It's a cute little small restaurant with just a few tables. They also have a pickup window on the side hallway.From the tables you have a view of the beach which is nice. Service was very friendly! I asked for lemon/lime for my water and they brought out a bowl of lime wedges plus green and white sauces for the meal. I ordered the grilled fish plate which came with steamed rice and salad. Fish was very flavorful tender flaky and tasted really amazing!! One of the best fish dishes I've had. Very satisfying and filling meal. The portion was just right. The hubs ordered the lomo saltado which is one of their signature dishes and really enjoyed it. The meat was very tender and flavorful. Others in the group ordered the rotisserie chicken wrap which they liked and the fish ceviche which was also enjoyed. Overall a really great meal. All were satisfied after the great meal.
I had a friend in town for the weekend, and we found this place for a bite to eat. I had the beef empanadas, and let me tell you, they were mind-blowingly delicious. The customer service was great, and I can't wait to return again soon. The prices are good, and there are plenty of seats inside. Overall, it's a great place to eat!
Stumbled upon this place right off the Venice boardwalk in a cute little alley with outdoor tables and a few eateries where you order from a window. We got the lomo saltado and it was not cheap but possibly the best lomo saltado I've ever had :o The person working the window was very nice as well. I can't wait to try more items on the menu when I'm back in Venice beach. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful. 10/10
Quick service window in Venice. You are sitting outside so be prepared for the wind and gray weather! The fish tacos were 10/10! So light! So fluffy! The yellow sauce took it to another level! Shrimp Saltados 8/10 had great flavor! Kinda messy for a beach day. The rice was hard, but overall delightful!
We were very impressed! We are from way out of state and are not as fortunate as the locals here to have as wide a variety of high quality cuisines. We don't miss the opportunity to try something more unique and less accessible to us. That and we were walking along Venice Beach and were hungry. We love a good ceviche, and the fish ceviche here delivered. It tasted to fresh and refreshing, with a really nice acidic spice to it that got a couple of tears out of me. We also got some Peruvian style fried fish tacos. I never opt for fish tacos, but that's because I've never had them like these. These were great, crunchy, fresh, and very flavorful. We washed everything down with the Maracuya (passionfruit) juice, which was delicious and not too sweet. We were nervous this place would just be a tourist trap, given its prime location right on the beach. It was a little pricey, but it exceeded expectations, and we had a wonderful lunch with a wonderful view. The staff was lovely, patient, and helpful. I'd love to come back and try some more food if we are in the area!
