Perhaps I am not a Peruvian conniseur but I know good food and good sazon (taste). That said, presentation is good. Food was terribly bland. I was disappointed tbh. BUT, everyone and everything deserves a second chance 😊 Service was great. And cleanliness was on point. Again, not well versed enough so will try again for posterity. Price is a bit high for the quality and overall presentation.
You be the judge...check it out!

I've been to a LOT of Peruvian restaurants all across LA county and Fernando's is hands down my favorite. I love the huancaina fettuccine w chicken. Saucy and the chicken was grilled to perfection, juicy and flavorful. My husband enjoys the lomo saltado. A pitcher of passion fruit juice washes it all down. Delicious.

Of all the Peruvian restaurants in and around the Downey area, this one is the best. The 'lomo' meat dish that is made with fries was so delicious, it was tender, and the juices from how they cook the meat are so tasty. This dish, if made correctly, is proof of knowing how to make Peruvian food - and Fernandos definitely knows what they are doing. The bread and salsa (particularly the green salsa) are a great start to the dining experience. The inside and setting is modest, it's not high end food but the service was quick and friendly. A place to take the family for sure.

It’s ok! If you want something cheap and it’s the only restaurant open, you can go to this place.
What I love about here is the decoration, it’s so particular representation of Titicaca islands in Puno - Peru.
The service: They really need to improve, guest service in a restaurant is not only ask for order and bring food and check. I think I had better experience in fast food places.
The food: I really hate the presentation, so as first impression the food was horrible, but the food was ok, not the best that I tried before.
If you ask me if I will back to this place, I will say not, you can find better peruvian restaurants around.

Small but wonderful restaurant! I took my sister here for lunch for her birthday. The staff was so friendly and we were seated right away (masked) since this was an early lunch. I wish I remembered the name of the dish and I don't see it on-line but it was a white fish with a yellow cream sauce with shrimp served with white rice. It was absolutely delicious!!! And while you wait they serve you warm toasted bread with a green sauce that comes from a squeeze bottle. I don't know what it was called either but it was a little spicy and I loved it so much that I asked if they sell it - they do! I bought some to take home to add to my planned taco dinner. I am so glad my sister introduced me to this place. It's soo good!

Went here for lunch. Lomo saltado was ok. The pasta was bland. Alfredo sauce seemed homemade but was lacking flavor. This location is a bit expensive. The service was horrible. Waitress ignored most of the people and we had to flag her down for everything. Left a tip that she didnt seem too happy with ($6 on a $35 check) as we were leaving we said bye and thank you and she completely ignored us.

The food in this place is not even Peruvian. Food is not good at all. Food has to much color and I ended troughing my food in the trash.
