Lola's Peruvian Restaurant

Absolutely amazing food! Will definitely be coming back. The atmosphere was great and the portion sizes were perfect.

Delicious Loma Saltado. Our waitress was very nice and made great suggestions.

After reading the reviews I had to come here. My first exposure to Peruvian cuisine is through Mark Weins YouTube and IG channel "Migrationology" . In particular, Peruvian ceviche, which looks different from the standard Mexican ceviche that I love so much. I found this place which was walking distance from my office, and got here early. Matter of fact, on a weekday around 11:45AM, I was the first one in. I was pleasantly greeted by a server named Jared who was super friendly and outgoing. Another gentlemen brought me some olive garden style bread sticks, and 2 dipping sauces. One sauce was a mayonnaise mixture that was delicious. The other was a green sauce that had the tiniest bit of heat. I ordered the ceviche mixto, which was one of two available ceviches on their lunch menu which was cheaper than their dinner menu. $12.99 versus $15.99 I believe. My food came out in about 7 minutes, but I was still the only on in the store. My first mouthful of ceviche was pure Bliss. I had a piece of white fish, a Kerbal of roasted corn, a sliver of red onion, and a bit of the "leche de tigre" which is the sauce mixture of lime/lemon/seasoning dripping off the seafood. The dish actually comes with both steamed corn kernels, and roasted corn kernels, to add a bit of starch to the fresh seafood. Also on my plate was a dollar pancake sized cut of sweet potato, also steamed to perfection. It was a perfectly sweet starchy addition to an otherwise very clean, citrusy refreshing dish. I did get an additional 2 breadsticks to go with my plate of seafood, which was just an amazing combination. The 2 dipping sauces, the soft bread, the clean and crisp smelling and tasting seafood , the brightness of the red onions, the crunch and aroma of the corn kernels, all added up to one of my favorite lunches I've ever had on Brand Blvd. And since I work here, I literally eat at every establishment south of the 134 down to the Americana on Brand. I found a winner here. 5 stars.
