Peruvian food on Ocean Front Walk

Peruvian food on Ocean Front Walk

We're a counter-serve Peruvian spot on the Venice boardwalk, with a patio right on the beachfront. Chef Ernesto was born and raised in Peru and has spent several decades in Los Angeles.

Our rotisserie chicken is marinated with Peruvian spices and comes out juicy and crispy. Get it with the garlic rice and beans.

We marinate sliced sirloin in Peruvian spices, then toss and sauté it in a wok with onions and tomatoes. It comes with rice and over a bed of fries.

Shrimp and white sea bass go into fresh lime juice with Peruvian spices, rocoto, red onions and cilantro. It's served the traditional way, with a slice of sweet potato, choclo (white corn) and cancha (deep-fried corn).

Grab a seat on the patio and eat with the beach right there. We're a counter-serve spot, so you order at the window and we bring it out.
