Yes, Peruvian Cuisine was on the lunch agenda and I ended up at El Incomparable in Reseda. The eatery sits in a crowded strip mall, with a small but inviting dining space. There is Peruvian music playing and you are immediately immersed into their decor, wall hangings and the wonderful fragrance from their adjoining kitchen. There is a good size menu that contained not only the local favorites, but also Chinese and Italian concoctions, reminiscent of the influence of both Asian and European immigrants in Peru. I needed time to ponder as to what my choices would be. My original plan was to dine on the attractive picturesque appetizers on the menu. But then, my eyes caught the lunch specials and I selected the Pescado Frito. For some reason, my server Mary seemed surprised and became indifferent when I ordered this dish (should I have selected a more expensive entree instead, I wondered). The fried fish special came with Wonton Soup (the soup of the day). Apart from wonton skins and chicken,there were also thin noodles in a rich and flavorful chicken broth. The entree had perfectly fried small fish fillet pieces and similarly well done potatoes (I could have just had these), rice and thinly julienned red onions with lime. Every component was fantastic. The fish was bland, but flaky, tender, thinly portioned and optimally breaded, but still tasty. I could not finish it all, so had to ask for carry out containers. Another aspect that bothered my server, who left an unsettling impression on a visit that could have been so much more.

I love Peruvian food, Saltado Mariscos is my favorite, and one of my all time favorite dishes. This place does it extremely well, not just the fresh seafood with nice size shrimp, the sauce is impeccable, those fries!!!! Of all the Saltado I've had, these might be the ones with the best fries! Besides the 'Hulk Sauce' the server asked if I wanted to try the 'Yellow Sauce'. It was nice, no substitute to the Hulk Sauce, but a great compliment. The food is fantastic, the service is great, very friendly servers. Give it try, you won't be disappointed!!

This has become one of my favorite Peruvian restaurants. The food is delicious and fresh. I had the ceviche de mariscos and the sauce that comes with it is 10/10. The lomo saltado was very good and the meat was flavorful. My boyfriend ordered the lomo montado and he enjoyed it as well. The service is good our waitress was kind and brought out our dishes in a timely manner.

As I entered, I was greeted by the cashier and the cook. They were empty at the time. I looked at the menu board, then the cashier showed me the regular menu to make the choice easier. I bought a fettuccine dish with steak, and a whole chicken meal with salad and fries. The fettuccine was well sauced. Very creamy and flavorful. You can definitely taste the delicious yet light Mexican style cheese in it. The steak was overly salted, but tender, cooked properly at a medium rare as requested. The chicken was delicious, but again, overly salted as well, but amazing and worth trying, especially if you like it well seasoned. The fries were just right, and more awesome with the chicken juices sweating on them. The salad was fresh. It's a place worth trying, so go ahead and give it a try. Slightly pricy though. The sauces were ok. I prefer my green sauce to be spicier, but it's ok.
