El Huarique Already a Locals Favorite For Peruvian on Venice Beach
If I had to make a list of places in L.A. where I felt least likely to find a delicious lunch, a food court on Venice Beach would probably be top 5. Unless, of course, you like shitty pizza, old hot dogs, or sun chips covered in melted cheese masquerading as nachos. Even the “branch” of Chicago’s famed Mr. Beef was a dud, closing almost as quickly as it opened. So when I read on Grub Street that a new Peruvian spot had opened up in one such food court (on Westminster and the Ocean Front Walk) I got mildly excited. Poke Poke is my goto lunch when I find myself down on Venice Beach, but it’s always good to have a back up. Especially if that backup is lomo saltado and a decent ceviche.
