“ Chef Hornero is a Peruvian restaurant in Bellflower, CA, at the northeast corner of Woodruff Ave and Rosecrans Ave. Good thing I finally tried it (1/8/21) after driving by it 500 times. *me rolling my eyes at myself* ENVIRONMENT This is definitely a restaurant I want to go back to when we can dine once again. It's got a very mi-casa-is-su-casa vibe that I like. But until then, COVID-19 restricts us to just a very tiny area blocked off for ordering at the window inside and for picking up takeout orders. SERVICE The nicest and most efficient in the area. You can tell this is a family restaurant. Love it. MY FAVORITE PART... The flavors from that lomo saltado. I didn't want to stop eating it! I envisioned what it would be like to have four stomachs like cows do, then I quickly slowed down my pace so I wouldn't look or feel like any bovine species the next day. NOT SO FAVORITE PART... I'm sure you can see the prices online or through an app, but once inside the lobby area, there are no prices listed on their wrap-around, wall-to-wall menu. I yearned for some vegetables in this lomo saltado that other restaurants in the area tend to incorporate. I had one piece of a tomato and a few thinly sliced onions. THE GRUB Try the lomo saltado ($18.60 including tax). The steak was tender, juicy, and very flavorful. The potatoes, er I mean, thick fries, were not half bad. There was plenty of nicely cooked white rice. The green sauce was provided in a small bag tied together much like a bag of frosting a baker would use to decorate a cake. I snipped the end off with a pair of scissors and was happy with the awesome spicy kick, but I wanted more by the end of my meal. Not quite the portion I was expecting at that price. Food takes about 15-20 minutes to be ready when you order in person. PARKING Free, but minimal in a shared lot with other nearby businesses including a Jack-in-the-Box. TIP Current Yelp checkin offer is for 20% off of your final order. OVERALL I can't wait to actually dine here and try other Peruvian fare. | Food: 4 | Service: 5 | Environment: 4 | Price: 3 | ”
“ I was running an errand in the area and stopped in to pick up lunch to take back to work. They had a take out window just inside the entrance where I ordered the ultimate Peruvian comfort food - lomo saltado - and a can of Inca Kola as my beverage choice. It took less than ten minutes to prepare and the kind woman behind the counter who took my order ran out to open the front door for me so I wouldn't have to juggle my food & drink while reaching for the door handle. The container they provided kept the food hot until I opened it 20 minutes later. The flavorful beef was tender and the thick slices of potato were hot & soft. I much prefer lomo with thick fries like this rather than thin ones; the thin ones get mushy from the soy sauce. There weren't many tomato slices but plenty of onions. The rice was "okay" - I didn't eat much of it because the potatoes always fill me up. The aji sauce (green sauce) provided in a separate container was much too hot for me (probably the hottest I've had at a Peruvian restaurant) so I barely used any. But then again, I'm a wimp when it comes to spicy stuff. I've tried many plates of lomo saltado both in the States and on my half dozen trips to Peru. I'd say this is definitely above average in quality and taste in comparison to other Peruvian restaurants in the U.S. but also above average in price. 3.5 stars! ”
