Update: "THEY ARE NOW OPEN!!!"
To be honest I must have driven by this place (located on the Corner of Santa Monica Blvd & Barry Ave) over a million times! It always looked closed. And it was......Well, Only during the Day! What I discovered was it was Only Open for Dinner!
I finally got the opportunity to go by and I was pleasantly surprised. Although it isn't perfect Peuruvian Cuisine, it was Very Tasty and a Pleasant Experience. The Seafood Dishes I ordered were both cooked perfectly, not overly, not salty. And Yes...Very Fresh! What I truly appreciated was the opportunity to eat in peace. No long lines (try driving down Sawtelle Ave.) The server was right on point. She did not keep asking "Are you OK?" or "Did you need anything?", "Can I get you something else?" Well, you get the point!
I eat out a lot and can only compare my experience to the overpriced & pretentious restaurants in the West LA area. Many of them are good, but have become very pushy. They want you "in & out" ASAP! My Qusqo Bistro experience was like eating dinner at someone's home. The Manager was pleasant and gracious. If you want to chill, eat great food and want a different experience, give Qusqo try. I always recommend ordering a couple of different dishes. You won't be disappointed!

Super authentic Peruvian restaurant! Sangria is a MUST TRY! The ambiance is amazing, food is great and drinks are delicious. The Lomo Saltado is definitely a must but honestly everything on the menu is delicious. This time I got the green rice with cauliflower for a vegan option and it did not disappoint!

Such amazing vibe and vegan food! Every sauce in house is vegan, most dishes have a vegan or vegetarian option. This place didn’t show up when i searched for vegan restaurants, but it should have. A hidden veggie gem in the LA area!

Just had dinner there with my 3 year old daughter. The food was so delicious. My little picky eater loved the chicken bites and arroz con pollo! And we topped it off with the alfajor cookie and ice cream! Delicious with wonderful service. The cute decor kept my daughter entertained too.

Wine and paint was fun and intimate in this little bistro. Try any of their classic peruvian dishes for a serious flavor journey. Highly recommend the Saltado, it tastes even better than it looks!

This is the first place I’ve ever tried Peruvian food and it did not disappoint. I came here with my mother a couple of months ago and I loved it! I ordered the steak tacos and they are DELICIOUS! Good portions. Perfect if you’re hungry but not super hungry. The restaurant itself pretty neat too. Always fun Latin music is playing, so it keeps an upbeat mood.

I met the owner right before the place opened. She was so sweet and walked me through a few options that I had to try. They were short staffed so she was also my server and I went with her spicy shrimp reccomendation and it didn't disappoint. Im definitely coming back as the food was on point, and I respect entrepreneurs that take pride in their biz

Wow the flavors, nice to get our fave lomo saltado but with great appetizers of veggies and seafood. The server was nice enough to have kitchen split our lomo saltado as we wanted to share plates, and no rice to avoid getting full fast. The stuffed avocado with shrimp was nice surprise. The papa ala huancaina and warm rice pudding reminding me of our family's meals in Lima, Peru. Def hope they stay and survive these times of pandemic.

My favorite place, chicken saltado is so yummy, and all versions are good depending on the day. Lomo saltado is also the best. I always come here to feel good, fresh and tasty is especially good right now to fight the pandemic.

The food is amazing! I love coming back again and again to try all the different plates. It's nice to get some authentic Peruvian dishes near to where I live. There is a very personal, familial vibe to the place too! I got the veggie chaufa last time.
