Peruvian • $$
“I am traveling alone for work and am back it CT. I was warmly welcomed and offered to sit at the counter. There were some empty tables and I asked if I could sit at a table. I understand that being the weekend those are reserved for larger parties. However, I was allowed to sit at a table, and proceeded to place my order. I ordered the #2 which came with two eggs, toast, home fries and a choice of meat.The eggs were perfectly cooked to order. The home fries were flavorful and I decided to forgo the ketchup (which I have used at other establishments in order to give the home fries flavor). The cinnamon raisin toast was perfect. The bacon was crispy. If you are in New London sometime you will not be disappointed if you stopped here for brunch.“
“ALL THE STARS! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We ordered food for pickup tonight and I could barely make it home without tearing open the bag because it smelled so good. But let me back up, I was greeted by the most friendly folks when I walked in the door who not only had my food packaged and ready to go but chatted with me about ordering options and gave me samples of their drinks, the mango drink is to die for! When I got home I was taken back by how huge the portions are! Our sandwiches were easily the size of two regular portions. We had the Tripleta sandwich and the Cubano sandwich with sides of fries. The pulled pork on the Cubano sandwich was so juicy and tender and the bread was perfectly grilled. We also got a beef and a chicken empanada and they were huge! The sauce was a little spicy for me (I’m a spice wimp) but my husband loved it. I’m so happy I found this place and it is now a local favorite for me.“
“We recently visited New London’s only Peruvian restaurant, CJ Peruvian aka Pollas a la Brasa! They told us they recently expanded, and the bar/dining room area was beautiful. Though they were out of a couple of items on the menu that we were interested in, the waitress was quick to come up with suggestions of other popular dishes. We decided to get an appetizer of salchipapas - though simple, we’ve just never ordered it before and wanted to check it off our list! My fiancé loves a good Pisco sour and was very happy with the one here. The rotisserie chicken was flavorful and served with a delicious side of beans, and I enjoyed my beef with pesto pasta. All of the food came out very quickly!“
