El Dorado Pollos A La Brasa - Pasadena, California

Aria S.

Exceeded expectations in every way.

The food is very seasoned beautifully, not too heavy, and clearly fresh.

The service is very warm and friendly. The atmosphere is cozy and comfortable. Prices are reasonable.
There is ample parking space.

I will absolutely return and try other items on the menu.

Grade B- (80): For was sub par, their service is good and they try hard but the flavors and textures are a bit lacking. Salchipapa (Fries were good but hot dog pretty bad maybe overcooked!) The Lomo Saltado, meat was not good, it was very tough, just didn't work for me. The Ceviche was excellent, loved it. The fried Chicken that we waited 30 minutes for was a bit disappointing, not a fan. Anyway, it was ok but will not be going back anytime soon.

So this wasnt my first time trying Peruvian food, and my girlfriend and I were super excited that we got recommended this place as a “must try”. Once we got there we got greeted and welcomed from the staff and everyone seemed happy to be there.

Food wise: the food was AMAZING. I HIGHLY recommend the food. The ceviche was crazy, the QUALITY was definitely noticeable and they stuffed it with shrimp.

The pollo was really juicy and super flavorful. Just imaging your momma or poppa making this type quality.

The sauces… sheesh. I was mind blown to learn that they are all literally hand made every morning by the owners. You dont find that anywhere else.

The salad and dressing was so good. Super fresh.

And last but not least. The Lomo Saltado.
This deserves a whole review on its own. This mixed with the green sauce is top foods in Pasadena easily. Highly highly recommend it. But, for the absolute best trio, get the ceviche, pollo, and lomo all together.

The drinks were really good as well and super fresh. Coming to this restaurant will definitely be that one choice you make that you will be glad you did. The owners are awesome and super caring as well. Lovely addition to Pasadena.
Pa. Look at how fresh and perfect that avocado is 🤷🏽‍♂️

rotisserie chicken, salad and the sauces were really good, did not enjoy the spaghetti dish, they have outdoor seating which is dog friendly

Amazing food and even better service. I ordered the Tofu Saltado and they accidentally brought mushroom saltado. They immediately said they’d remake the correct dish and give me a refund. I told them not to worry about it and I was more than happy to have the mushroom. A few days later, I noticed they refunded me even though I told them not to. Amazing customer service and people who care. On top of that, the food was incredible. We will be back!

I recently dined at a charming Peruvian restaurant that effortlessly blended rustic charm with a clean and beautiful ambiance. The nice vibes were enhanced by the soulful Peruvian rock/pop music and excellent customer service transporting me back to my time living in Peru. The menu showcased authentic flavors, with each dish presenting a delightful journey through Peruvian culinary traditions. From the first bite to the last, it was a decent and delicious experience that I would highly recommend.

Solid 4.5 star place for Peruvian. A little salty but everything was delicious. Highly recommend the chicken which was the star of the meal. Staff was also super friendly.
