Visited on a Sunday afternoon. We were ready for this to be our new Peruvian spot.
It's centered in a small shopping center off of bellflower blvd. It's easy to find and parking was not a problem at the time, but it is a busy lot.
Inside the establishment is your basic 'mom and pop' set up, small with few tables and chairs and the rear tables used as storage. It appeared tidy but not inviting. It felt like it hasn't been active for a bit. The service was missing on this day. We walked in and though you could see two people in the kitchen, and they could see us. We weren't greeted or approached. We weren't offered a menu for seating but there was a menu taped to a table at the front by the register and a shirt menu at the top of the same area. We looked through our menu options and they have many of the options you would expect to find. Given we still weren't acknowledged, i gave a good afternoon salutation and still after a few minutes a woman came out and said nothing to us and just stood at the register and stared. Very akward.
We ordered the basic lomo saltado and tallarin saltado. The feel was already so unwelcoming, we opted to eat in the car, so we took the food to go.
The food fit the establishment. The steak was bland, chewy, and dry which leaves very little for the dish to work with. You could taste the saltado mix but it was a very minimal flavor. The tallarin noodles and the fries for the lomo were hence just as bland. The steak was cut into cube pieces. Just not what you need from these dishes. Neither dish was good. The serving size was enough. The price tag was high for the quality. $15.50 each.
