Stuff is very friendly. The food came very fast. I do gotta say that I think that plates are a bit expensive and also anything you add may be like an extra 4-5 dollars so be careful what you add if you have few money. I went in with my brother and we usually spend about 40 to 50 bucks and we spent about as twice. Other than that I very much liked the place and food.

Tried the paella and it was delicious . We also had the ceviche appetizer and enjoyed it also. The food here is good. I started eating the paella so fast I forgot to get a picture.

Everything is so good! We are quite impressed. The sauce is very tasty especially with the rice. Deep fried clams and mussels are crispy and delicious. Our servers are also nice and friendly.

Best Peruvian Food I have ever had!! Drove up from Orange County to enjoy this food based on reviews. It didn’t disappoint. Service was also top notch! We will most definitely be back!

The food is undeniably fantastic; however, the service leaves much to be desired. It is evident that this restaurant places a significant emphasis on take-out orders, as my companions and I found ourselves standing at the front door, waiting for service for an interminable ten minutes. Meanwhile, the staff, who were well aware of our presence from the outset, seemed solely focused on packing take-out orders. Eventually, another member of the staff seated us, yet even then, we were left parched as no water was offered until we had already finished placing our food orders. It is evident that this establishment suffers from a shortage of staff, as they are overwhelmed by the abundance of take-out orders they receive.

My fiancé and I just came to El Mono for a Sunday lunch, we absolutely loved everything. Everything was fresh and prepared beautifully, the flavors will really blow you away. Things were a bit pricey, but felt as though the quality of the food was there so. I will definitely be back, perhaps on a weekday to take advantage of the prices of the lunch specials.
