Anticucheria Peruana Danessi, nestled in Norwalk, CA, serves as a hidden gem for lovers of authentic Peruvian cuisine. Customers rave about the genuine flavors that transport them straight to Peru. One enthusiastic patron, Casey R., applauds the owner’s attentiveness and humor, noting that dishes like Pancitas and Rachi are must-tries, delivering an experience that feels true to their heritage.

The cozy, informal setting—described as a "hole in the wall"—might not offer a five-star ambiance, but the rich flavors more than compensate. Natalie H. highlights the impressive depth of flavor despite the restaurant's humble appearance. While prices may be higher than average, as Merickster points out, the seasoning and quality truly justify the cost.

Daniel Colunga shares his delight over the classic Saltado, calling it the best he has ever tasted, while the ceviche’s spice level earns hearty approval. Overall, Anticucheria Peruana Danessi stands out for its commitment to authentic recipes and delightful service, making it a top pick for anyone craving a taste of Peru in Southern California.

Authentic Peruvian food! So glad we came here. Owner of the place was incredibly attentive to us and was super funny! The food was incredible!! In 20 years, my parents have gone to many peruvian restaurants but this one has been the most authentic! It took them back to Peru!! They recommend the Pancitas and Rachi! Definitely recommend if you miss the true taste of PERU!!!

One of those hole in the wall places- so good. A little pricey but compared to some other Peruvian restaurants I've had, this one has so much flavor. Don't expect a 5 star restaurant experience; i got my food on a paper plate from Costco but the quality of service my boyfriend and I received was immaculate. The owner is so sweet and attentive. This is my new go-to Peruvian place

Food was amazing, true authentic Peruvian food. Everything was seasoned to perfection. Only thing is the food is pricey. Someone would think coming to this location a plate would be 12-16 due to the location and also restaurant appearance. Plates are about 24-40 depending on what your order but food is delicious.

One of a kind service experience!!!! Owner seems the happiest to make the most delicious meals. I ordered the classic Saltado and has definitely been the best I have ever had! Will be making it a point to come at least once a week since it's nearby!!!! The Ceviche is also to die for, so spicy #supportlocal

I had a fantastic experience at Anticucheria Peruana. We drove 2.5 hours to get there, and it was absolutely worth the journey. The food is outstanding, and the service is top-notch. As a truly Peruvian-raised girl, I know my flavors, and this place nails it. If you're a fan of anticuchos, this is definitely the place to visit. The meat is perfectly seasoned with authentic Peruvian ingredients, bringing bold and delicious flavors. Don’t miss the picarones – they are absolutely divine and a perfect way to end the meal. If you're in the area, do not miss out on this hidden gem!
