First visit. Waited to be seated and stood at counter about 5 minutes with no acknowledgement, eye contact or even hello, be right with you. Even customer there for pick up and felt invisible. Many empty tables so not very buay. Very personable waitress but orders for 6 of us served with 15 – 20 minutes between each item!! 3 of us ordered the sautéed shrimp in garlic butter with rice, took 2 times asking when would we get it(over 40 minutes waiting) and then received FRIED shrimp and told that was what Peruvian sautéed is. REALLY!!! Staff offered to take back but did not want to wait another 30-40 minutes. 3 of us got the wrong order. No one wanted to be accountable. No discount or apology.
Needless to say, do not recommend and will not be going back. Nothing special.
Photos below of menu and guess chef needs education on meaning of sautéed. Very disappointing

My daughter’s swim schedule prevents us from doing international trips so I try to introduce her to international cuisine as much as I can. They use fire to cook their lomo saltado which my daughter ordered. I had the gambas al ijo. Yummy! Definitely a place to return anytime we are at La Mirada.

The food was flavorful and definitely worth trying, but the real highlight of the night was the service of our waitress.
When we got to the restaurant, it was clear they were understaffed. We had to wait a bit to be seated, even though there were open tables, and you could tell the staff was stretched pretty thin. It wasn’t the smoothest start, but honestly, things got better once we sat down.
Our waitress Marilyn was awesome. She was super friendly and patient. Even though she was clearly juggling a bunch of tables, she kept checking in on us, made sure we had everything we needed, and stayed positive the whole time.

My coworker was craving Peruvian food and she said she saw this spot every time we drove by, so we checked it out.
Probably one of the best Peruvian dishes I’ve ever had. I had their pescado sudado and popcorn chicken. The fish was phenomenal, especially the sauce it comes with. The starter bread is great with the butter. Their full plate of calamari, fried fish were excellent. Great flavor and it was a delicious dish.
The popcorn chicken aka chicharron chicken was also delicious and I used the sauce from the fish to make it even more delectable. The plantains were also very delicious too. Overall it was a solid lunch experience with excellent customer service.
I’d definitely come back here again to try their other menu items.

The size of the restaurant surprised me, the building used to be a family restaurant so the tables were nice and big along with the booths. Great place to bring family.I went in the afternoon around the typical lunchtime, and it wasn’t too full but they did have customers. They do have a bar and area for live music in the evenings,they also have plenty of TVs for sports games. The food was delicious see pics. It started to get a little bit crowded as I was leaving.

Came here for a birthday celebration. We had a group of 17 people. Our server was a bit slow but it still got delivered without attitude. Food portion was big. Most of the food were cooked fried. Majority of the dishes we ordered was good and flavorful. Restaurant seating was not cramped tight. Enough space for us to move around. Overall, it’s a great experience.

I love this Peruvian restaurant a lot! I can cross Sol Inka off the bucket list since this is my first time coming here in La Mirada and recommend 10 out of 10. I enjoyed the chicken fried rice that came with the Peruvian style.

We’ve been coming here since it was Mario’s Peruvian. The food remains the same- great! Their Lomo Saltado is always made with freshly cut potatoes, setting it apart from other places that skip corners by using frozen fries. Go for the lunch specials, and you won’t be disappointed!
