Mex Peru Gipsy: Reviews & Ratings
Been coming here for 20 years. This is the spot to get a chicken sandwich or lomo saltado.
Amazing food, and super friendly staff. Above and beyond service! I would highly recommend this place!
Mex Perú Gipsy delivered a great lunch experience! From the moment I walked in, the service was top-notch. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the chef/owner personally took the time to recommend dishes, which made the experience feel even more special. It's always a good sign when the person behind the food is so passionate and involved! I went with the Lomo Saltado, and it did not disappoint. The dish was bursting with flavor--the beef was tender and perfectly cooked, while the veggies and sauce added just the right balance of savory goodness. The fries soaked up all that delicious sauce, making every bite satisfying. You can tell the ingredients were fresh and that a lot of care went into the preparation. I had an horchata for the drink and it was very good. One of the better horchatas I've had. Yes, the prices are a bit on the higher side, but considering the quality of the food and the level of service, I think that it's totally worth it. The portions were generous, and the flavors were authentic, making it a standout spot. In a neighborhood where good food options can be hit or miss, Mex Perú Gipsy definitely stands out as one of the best places to eat. Whether you're craving authentic Peruvian flavors or just looking for a great meal with friendly service, this place is a winner. I'll definitely be coming back to explore more of the menu.
The best hole in the wall peruvian & mexican cuisine in the middle of fashion district. The food was stunning, tasted amazing, and the service was outstanding. We met the owner who gave us a run down of Mex Peru Gipsy and after tasting the food, it's no wonder this place has stood the test of time. Would recommend this to anyone in the LA area who wants a reliable and amazing meal. Would definitely come back again
Hi guys I stopped by this hidden gem.. I had the best ceviche and went for the fish and shrimp dish.. I was amazing definitely a must try
My daughter introduced me to this hidden gem last year and it is a must every time we come to LA. Great food, great service!! My favorite dish: Lomo Saltado!
Tiny restaurant with just a bar to sit and some tables outside, but the food is delicious and the owner is really nice. He is passionate about the food and sharing knowledge about the food. He came around to show me a chaufa he was packing to go. It was very wholesome. If I'm in the area I'll be back, the green sauce mixed with the chili oil is bombbbb.
The food and service is amazing, loved every bite and the passion of the owners. Will definitely be back
I went to eat with my family at Méx Peru Gipsy yesterday, and from the moment we arrived, we received excellent service--from helping us find our table to even finding us parking. Juan, the owner, went out of his way to move his car so I could park right in front of the restaurant and avoid paying for parking. Once seated, the attention and service were outstanding. Juan came over to chat with us and shared a bit about the restaurant's history and how they got to where they are today. The food was delicious. We ordered choros a la criolla as an appetizer, and for the main course, we had ceviche and arroz chaufa. I personally ordered lomo saltado, and it was just as delicious as the other dishes--great quality meat and ingredients. I also want to add that the staff was very attentive. No matter where you are, you have to come try this restaurant. Highly recommended, 10/10 in every aspect!
Heard of Mex Peru Gipsy months ago and finally made it there today! We ordered the Ceviche Mixto and Lomo Saltado. The Ceviche was excellent with big shrimp, calamari and fish. The Leche de Tigre was delicious. The Lomo Saltado was also very good! The filet mignon was soft and tasty! We met Juan the owner who stopped by the table to greet us and explain the dishes we chose as well as a little bit is their history. He also brought us some rocoto ají for our ceviche. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. One of the cooks came out to greet us as well and explained the "Gipsy" aspect of the menu. It's a small place, but plenty of seating. Will go back to try more items on the menu!
