The restaurant shares the same parking lot as ArcLight Cinema. Diners with ticket validation receive one hour free in the garage. Entrance to the lot is on De Longpre.
Chicha morada, a drink made from purple corn, Inca Kolano, and Peruvian beers are among the unique beverages from the country on the menu. All wines offered, however, hail from Argentina. The corkage fee is $8 during the week and $10 on weekends.
In Short Peruvian restaurants are few and far between, but traditional raw fish ceviches and chicken arroz de pollo dishes can be found in Hollywood right around the corner from ArcLight.

This restaurant is a true gem. Every time I go to Los Balcones I find something new.

This is a wonderful neighborhod restaraunt. It is also a perfect spot for a casual dinner or date before heading over to the Arclight across the street. Plenty of street parking or one hour validated at the Arclight lot.
I am not Peruvian, I am not sure if it is authentic, but it is good!
Try the pasta dish with the spinach/pesto green sauce. Nice, simple tasty.
