El Dorado Pollos A La Brasa

Amazing experience, very friendly staff with lots of great suggestion. Also, free coffee. Their chicken was very tasty and their meat was tender

Great food! Great service! All of their sauces but especially that green sauce is beyond delicious. My dish (not pictured) was 1/2 chicken with a side salad and yuca. Their yuca is amazing! All the food we ordered was flavorful, not oily/greasy and the customer service was unlike any other. It was my first time here but they’ve been here almost 4 years. I feel like I have 3 and a half years of food to make up for. It’s that delicious!

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.

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!

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. 🇵🇪🔥

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.

Tried this place and had the half chicken combo. Great customer service from beginning to end. Eating area outside and inside with a couple of tvs is set up perfect. Free small water bottles and coffee, my new favorite place in this area! Highly recommend! Chicken: 10 / 10 Beans: 10 / 10 Fries: 10 / 10 Dipping sauces: 10 / 10 Atmosphere: 10 / 10 Service: 10 / 10

The pollo saltado was great. I'll have to come back to try the pollo a la brasa. The chicken was very tender. The aji verde sauce had a spicy kick to it. The fries, tomatoes and onions added very well to the flavor and the rice absorbed all of it..the staff was super nice and cleaned out tables when needed. Theres free coffee and water which was such a nice amenity. The outdoor patio and indoor seating was such a nice choice to pick from. We also got the shrimp ceviche which was also excellent and a very dog friendly patio area.

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.

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 🤷🏽‍♂️

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.

I order from Uber Eats, but the Quinoa salad is a 10/10. If you want a summer salad, light, filling and healthy.

I took my fiance and her family for lunch here to celebrate her birthday because we wanted Peruvian and I saw this was considered one of the best spots. The food was great. Everyone asked for the mini portion because they didn't think they'd be able to finish a whole plate. I got a normal order for everyone and it was so good, no one took left overs home. The service was great and everyone was friendly. We will definitely be going back.

Very nice restaurant the chicken was much juicy and flavorful, small portions but good quality. Service is very attentive staff. Not a fan of self order or touching screens before eating. But the flavors were on point.

Great Customer service. The food is Amazing! The Chicken was good. The Lomo Saltado, Shrimp cocktail keeps me going back for more. Give it a shot. I highly recommend it.

The chicken and the sauces are wonderful. I'm a huge fan of the spicy green one. The ceviche is the BEST I've ever had. I'm definitely recommending you try it. Salad and plantains are also yummy.

This place was amazing! The food was bomb! We got chicken, steak, shrimp and it was all fresh! The cookies were bomb as well! It’s hard to find places like this. Protect at all costs! Service was also outstanding. They gave us everything we needed to go! I didn’t have to ask for extra sauce!

This is the second time I came to this place for lomo saltado. There is a small parking lot, and street parking is also available. Staff was friendly, and kind. They offer customers with free bottle water and hot coffee. The decoration was very clean and minimal. There are a few tables indoor and some tables in the patio. The food was freshly made, so we waited for a while. They offered 3 dipping sauce. I remember the yellow one is my favorite. The pink and green ones were too spicy to me. The meat was very tender, and not overcooked. The dipping sauce and the meat were the perfect combination. I also dipped the fries with the dipping sauce. This is how much I love it. Will come back for more lomo saltado.

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.

Grade B- (80): Food 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.
