Mario's Peruvian & Seafood | A Must-Try Peruvian Gem in LA!

🏡 Mario's Peruvian & Seafood 📍 5786 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90038 If you're near Hollywood—don't miss this spot! Big portions, bold flavors, and totally worth it! 👍🏻 🧆 Saltado de Mariscos ($22) Stir-fried seafood with fries! (Also comes with beef/chicken). I prefer the seafood version—packed with fresh goodies 🦐🐙, low-fat, high-protein, and so satisfying! 😌 🥘 Parihuela ($22) The Peruvian take on seafood tom yum! 🍅🌶️ Rich tomato-based broth (no lemongrass/mint), loaded with seafood. A must-try! 👉…but heads-up: the crab legs were slightly less fresh this time. 🍤 Jalea de Mariscos ($24.75) Mixed fried seafood—crispy, golden, and NOT greasy! 🎯 Tossed with lime juice for tanginess. Perfect as-is, but extra lime if you love zing! 💚 🥤 Inca Kola ($4) Peru's national soda! 🥤 Not sold in China (I checked Taobao 😂). Tastes like…cotton candy? 🍬 Sweet nostalgia in a bottle—weirdly addictive! Verdict: Fresh, vibrant, and full of personality! 🌟 Perfect for adventurers craving something beyond typical LA eats. #Los Angeles #PeruvianFood #LAEats #HollywoodEats #FoodAdventure #MariosPeruvian
