Pure Peru, and Sort of Pure Peru

A new Van Nuys restaurant, Puro Sabor, offers flavorful Peruvian cuisine. Galen recommends the pescado sudado.

jpb likes Jose Antonio in Chatsworth. “They have a nice mix of Peruvian and Chinese, the folks they are great and the lomo saltado is delish!” It’s also not too pricey.

  • Finally, since moving to LA in March, I found a GOOD Peruvian Restaurant. Only tried los Balcones in Hwood and Playa Blanca in El Segundo so far... but this was definitely the best, and not pricey. It feels like "at home" peruvian food. The ceviche was perfect, not to cooked and not too raw, good flavor, spicy and had Peruvian Corn and Maiz Chulpe ( the "popcorn"). The Huancaina sauce was perfect...+READ

    Finally, since moving to LA in March, I found a GOOD Peruvian Restaurant. Only tried los Balcones in Hwood and Playa Blanca in El Segundo so far... but this was definitely the best, and not pricey. It feels like "at home" peruvian food. The ceviche was perfect, not to cooked and not too raw, good flavor, spicy and had Peruvian Corn and Maiz Chulpe ( the "popcorn"). The Huancaina sauce was perfect — probably made from scratch with frozen aji amarillo - not the one that comes in a jar and has preservatives, sugar and who knows what else...

    Papa rellena was good, causa could have been imporved with some avocado and corn. Great Chicha Morada and Jugo de Maracuya (Passion Fruit Juice) - and VERY TASTY Anticuchos de Corazon (Heart Skewers) with authentic Aji Panca seasioning.

    Will definitely come back, never go back to Los Balcones for sure....-COLLAPSE
