Consistently high ratings with 4.6★ average. Strong growth in positive reviews over the last 6 months.

Great roast chicken and lomo saltado. The chicken has crispy skin, well seasoned and still juicy. Loved the aji verde and aji criollo with it. The lomo saltado was great. The beef is good but the fries were the best part, so, so good in that sauce. As always, fried plantains were great too. The vibe outside is nice with the lights. Just be ready to wait a little time for your chicken. Reasonably large parking lot and friendly service.

Steph Couvrette

El Dorado Pollo la Brasa is hands down next-level Peruvian cuisine! The lomo saltado here is absolutely freaking amazing; easily the best I’ve had in all of California. And trust me, I would know, I’m Peruvian myself, and this dish hits all the right notes: juicy, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, and cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food came out quickly, and the staff was super friendly; which, let’s be honest, isn’t always the case at Peruvian spots. El Dorado truly stands out for both its authentic flavor and welcoming energy. If you want real Peruvian comfort food done right, this is the spot. 🇵🇪🔥

Mr. Chino Hills

This is the best rotisserie chicken you will ever eat! Perfectly seasoned and cooked. Sauces are good too, and sides. Service was great they were all friendly. It was our first time and we got the game day combo. We will definitely be back. The beers were happy hour all day on Sunday!

We walked here from the Rose Bowl area. A little wet and chilly today! This place is excellent. We were having trouble deciding on our plans- Gustavo helped us and went out of his way to serve us a delicious lunch. The chicharron bowls and lomo saltado were fantastic. The chicken fried rice as a side and the plantains to finish. Yum. They’ve been here for 9 years - we wish them all success for years to come! Happy New Year. Come here, you won’t regret it.
