Must-Try Peruvian Food in LA 🇵🇪🔥

Whenever friends visit LA and ask for restaurant recommendations, I always bring up this spot: Mario’s Peruvian & Seafood! It’s a popular local Peruvian joint with over 2,000 Google reviews—totally legit! Many people recommend the ceviche, but the real star for me is their Tomato-Based Seafood Rice—so flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and generously portioned! Think of it as a South American take on Asian-style comfort food. Every bite of rice mixed with seafood is just pure satisfaction! 🍅🍚🦐 Ordering seafood on its own is also delicious, but the ceviche was too salty for my taste. Their soups are just okay. One time, a friend from the Bay Area was skeptical before trying it—he said, “How good can $20 seafood really be?” After one meal? He was totally convinced! 😂 They don’t take reservations—just write your name on the list when you arrive. Have you been to Mario’s? What’s your go-to dish when friends visit LA?
