LA Food | A Must-Try Peruvian Spot You Can’t Miss! 🇵🇪🍤

🏡 Mario's Peruvian & Seafood 📍 5786 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90038 If you're near Hollywood — don’t sleep on this place! Big portions, bold flavors, and totally satisfying. 🧆 Saltado de Mariscos – $22 Seafood stir-fried with fries 🍟 — yes, fries! You can also get it with beef or chicken, but the seafood version is loaded and delicious. High-protein, low-guilt comfort food 😌 🥘 Parihuela – $22 Calling this the "South American Tom Yum" 🦀🍅 A rich, tomato-based seafood soup — though I missed the lemongrass and mint. Still, a must-try! (Heads up: the crab legs were a bit less fresh…) 🍤 Jalea de Mariscos – $24.75 A glorious mix of fried seafood — crispy, not greasy, and already dressed with a squeeze of lime. Perfect as-is, but add more lime if you like it zesty! 🥤 Inca Kola – $4 Peru’s national soda! 🥤 Tastes a bit like bubblegum or cotton candy? Hard to describe, but it brought back childhood vibes. Fun to try — not sold in China! 💰 ~$30 per person 💵 We left a $10 cash tip — service was warm and prompt! A flavorful, filling, and fun meal — definitely worth the visit! #LAEats #PeruvianFood #MariosPeruvian #HollywoodEats #SeafoodLover #ComfortFood
