LOS ANDES PERUVIAN RESTAURANT — Restaurant in South Gate

I've visited this place on several occasions in the past Pre-Covid. The first time I will say their lomo saltado was tastefully sauteed, invigoratingly Delicious to eat. Their meat tender and nicely cooked. Same with their pollo saltado, at that time.

Fast forward to 23/2024, tried it again and what a disappointment in quality, taste and presentation. It's truly sad to know that a place that has the potential to lure and appeal to a customer base that loves a genuine Peruvian dish, no longer has the passion and desire to cater to it's customers. I don't know what happened that caused this spot to lose their sazón, passion and desire to give their 💯% devotion to the art of Peruvian food. Their meat now is chewy, not tender, they no longer serve good size portions like they used to, they'll give you more fries instead of a evenly portioned meal with choice of protein.

If the owner of this place cares about it's business and reads this review. I implore you to please invest in your business and bring back your passion and quality to your food as you once did in the...

I ordered a Lomo Saltado to go and it was less meat and much fries.

I mean i know the economic increased but if you want good reputation, returning customers and good reviews you should put more meat on the plates and not just something that is barely even served. Please reference to my picture because I was really upset looking at this and knowing i was only...

Small, nothing spectacular, looks more like a eatery or a place to take out the food, not like a warm, cozy place to eat, the interior lacks any decor, just some cheap prints on the front wall, and a set of bongos drums, tucked in a corner. A small area on the right side occupied by a counter and a glass dosplay suggesting a place to buy souvenirs, trinkets, or other small products and foods. The place could be use to add one or 2 tables and chairs. It looks better on the outside than inside. Food is..so so, what I ordered was overcooked, dry and chewy. On the positive, they have Inka Cola, if one is looking for it. Overall the placebe is a smidge over mediocre...can be way better with just a little bit of effort and...
