Asumare Peruvian — Restaurant in San Fernando

I really hate to dunk on a super cute little place run by, i’m sure, great people but here I am. This place is STUPID OVERPRICED!!! I ordered just a lomo saltado to go, and she looked me dead in the face and said $20. I did a sextuple take. There were no prices anywhere, and on their yelp it says the lomo is under $13. “Maybe this will be the best fries, onions, steak and cilantro I’ve ever had!” I thought. The food came out quick enough, but was in no way shape or form worth $20. It was a decently large portion, but the steak was frankly not good. This is the first negative review I’ve ever left in my whole life and this happened over a week ago, but I still feel so ripped off I had to come vent. Maybe their other dishes are fantastic and well worth it, but I know for a fact you can get much better lomo with more bread and even rice for more like $12-17 at any other Peruvian place in LA. Let alone what you could get for $20 anywhere else. Sorry y’all, your place is super cozy and you all seem very nice but I...

Food and portions were just ok to be honest. Too much soy sauce made it really salty and there was allot of onion skins in mine. The steak in my lomo saltado was way over cooked and pretty hard to chew. Perfect potatoes, but for the cost, I expected more than the potatoes being the star of the meal. We went there for lunch based on Yelp menu reviews and prices. When we arrive, there were no prices anywhere, so we thought the prices listed online were accurate. Once we asked for the bill our jaws dropped that lunch for 3 people was almost $100!!! 3 lomo saltado, one side of potato with sauce, 2 Cokes and an Inca cola that costs $4 per can. The one younger server was polite and quick, the older lady that took out order seemed like she was in a bad mood. The place is tiny. Only fits about 3 small groups of people inside for seating. Limited street parking only. They need to update...

This place is gem! I found it when I was in the area for work and the delicious food and excellent service keeps me coming back. It's a small establishment with approx 4-5 tables and they are busy! The hostess/waitress is always friendly and makes sure customers feel welcome. She's an amazing juggler of her time waiting tables (and keeping us happy), taking phone orders, greeting to go order pick ups, and keeping the place clean and in order all with politeness and a smile. Girl you're doing an amazing job! Ok the food: Saltado de Pollo is the go to for me but everything is made to order and never disappoints in flavor. We've tried other places but this place has become a...
