Featured on the popular KTLA 5 Burrous Bites, El Criollo Peruvian Restaurant is like no other Peruvian cuisine. It’s a gem hidden in the City of Industry, but don’t let the outside area fool you. As soon as you walk in, you feel like you’re at home. You are greeted by the Chef himself and served like if you were his special guest. As soon as you walk in you can smell the tantalising aroma of the food along with the rich energetic sounds of Salsa music in the background.  The intimate setting at night makes this place a “go-to” for a romantic dinner for two.

The food servings all come with his unique patented spicy green salsa (AHI) The combo is delicious! El Criollo Peruvian Cuisine also specializes in many Peruvian seafood dishes like the famous “Jalea”-Fried fish, squid, and other seafood, garnished with a pickled red onion.
