Baileys Peruvian Cuisine

Authentic and flavorful, Bailey's has become my go to place when I have company coming over and I need a hearty and delicious meal to serve.Recently, I have surprise visitors and had nothing of substance to serve. I called Bailey's and ordered (4) orders of their famous Lomo Saltado. In 30 min the orders were ready for pick up.Once I placed them in my dinner plates, it looked as if I cooked the Lomo Saltado myself! The dinner not only looked appetizing, but it filled my guests tummies and allowed them to experience authentic Peruvian food.Reasonable prices will add to your pleasure. Street parking is available or around the corner in the public parking lot on Bright Ave.Enjoy your visit!

**Title: A Salty Surprise**Rating: If you're someone who craves salt like it's going out of style, this dish might be right up your alley. However, for most, the overwhelming saltiness of the food was difficult to overlook. The seasoning seemed to have gone from a flavorful accent to the main event, leaving little room for the other flavors to shine.Initially, the dish looked promising with its appealing presentation. The ingredients were fresh, and the aroma was enticing. But after the first bite, the saltiness took center stage and didn't let go. Each subsequent bite only intensified the sensation, overpowering the natural tastes of the ingredients.It's a shame because you can tell there was potential here. The textures were spot on, and the cooking technique was otherwise solid. Unfortunately, the seasoning imbalance made it hard to enjoy the meal fully.In conclusion, if you're a fan of incredibly salty food, you might find this dish to your liking. For everyone else, proceed with caution--and perhaps a large glass of water. Also god forbid you ask for extra sauce , you will get a dirty look and charge you.

"Come check it out! We just had an amazing meal - delicious Chupe with shrimp, an excellent soup, and some crispy yuca frita (fried cassava) on the side. You've got to try it!"

The food was really good, it was a bit pricey for the portions. We ordered for pick up and it was ready upon our arrival!!!

My wife and I came to Whittier awhile back for lunch and came across Baileys when looking for food in the area. We are fans if Lomo Saltado and Peruvian food and managed to find a parking spot on the curb right across the street. The building itself was quite run down on the outside and at first glance I was unsure if they were even open. Upon glance into the front door a little further down we saw that they were and made our way inside. The inside was quaint and had quite a minimalistic type decor to it. We were quickly taken to a table for two and then we sat, and sat and sat some more waiting to order. I would understand if the place was busy but we were there and only one other table of 2 was present. After waiting almost 10+ minutes for help, we finally had ordered and began the second period of waiting for the food. Luckily for us the food came out a bit quicker and the portions were quite large. Thankfully the flavor was on point, albeit a bit too salty and bot of us seemed to enjoy the food and even had a little bit more to take home to finish later. I can say if the service was a bit quicker and friendlier this review would be higher but for the food alone this was a solid choice and a great Peruvian option. I would come back again and see if a 2nd visit would be a bit better in the service department. If you like Peruvian cuisine then check it out if you are in the Uptown Whittier area.

Delicious and glorious Peruvian food! The service is spectacular! If your in the Uptown Whittier community it is a must to dine here!! Plenty of seating and beautiful traditional photos from Perus to celebrate the rich culture!

On a scale of 1- hell yea. This place gets a HELL YEA! This place will have you crawling out the door with its portions, service is A tier, and the Inca soda makes me quiver in my shoes. Once again it gets the HELL YEA seal of approval, def worth checking out this hidden gem in Whittier!

First off I'm peruvian so I came her with my mom on a weekend afternoon. It's tucked away on the side of a street that can be easily missed so make sure to look for it if your going.Vibe: it's cool. They have salsa playing so that I did like. They have peruvian rugs and peruvian wall hangings which I did like. The place is half red and white like the flag. One thing I will say it was a little warm in there for a sunny day. Service: the waitress was very nice and super attentive and explained the whole menu well. Tho I will say the food is fresh cooked because we didn't get our food till about 40 mins after ordering. Food: the chica morada was soooo good, highly recommend especially on these warm days. I ordered the special lomo and it lacked in flavor some. I think I should've ordered something else. My mom said the fish which was bass was good though. Overall: I might go back here but I feel there is other peruvian places with tastier food.

So first for the bad and why they did not get 5 Stars. Why give someone a menu with no prices. That is just ridicules. Our waitress told us they had just raised their prices [who hasn't]. So they give me a beautiful laminated menu with no prices. If you don't want to reprint prices when prices go up again, then print paper menus. My wife and I are sharing a plate and so we are going to get a few side dishes but without prices, we really don't know how much we are going to add to our meal. I feel that was just not well planned. They did find an old menu but at least it gave us a reference. They did tell us that the prices had gone up.Now the food. Well damn it's just really really good. What we decided to order [and share] was the Saltado Especial with chicken, ribeye and shrimp. It's on a bed of rice and French fries. It had plenty of grilled red onions and some grilled tomatoes. That was our main dish but we also had ordered the Papa la Huancaina which was amazing and was a huge portion. This is one of my favorite Peruvian dishes. The close second is the Green Sauce, I guess I should call it by its real name Aji Verde sauce. Bailey's is not too spicey. My mom is Costa Rican so we grew up on Platanos fritos or fried plantains and they were so delicious as well. Our waitress brought out some bread and butter. Sharing the one plate and the two sides, we took some home for later. That is mine, not to share :)The place is nicely decorated and has two sections that were open. It looks like they had a broken glass door and a broken glass plate that were boarded up. Hope they get that fixed soon. Our waitress was super nice and helpful. It started a little awkward when I asked about prices and she said she could tell me. "Really" I responded before she went to get an old menu with outdated prices.

I have eaten saltados at so many places and this one is my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE. These folks take this dish seriously giving the protein of your choice a terrific sear at high heat. Super delicious. Odd that there are no prices on the menu but most of the saltados run you around $18-19. Portions are humongous...but trust me you will not want to share. Papa a la Huancaína was so moist and just perfect. And that green sauce. Just wow!
