“I had the weeknight prix fixe meal, which was quite good. The scallop ceviche was unique and one of the best ceviches I've had. The mussels were delicious and the chocolate flan was so silky and luxurious. The cococontento cocktail was perfection.The atmosphere is quaint and lovely. The vibe and the staff are great and the music is excellent but not too loud to enjoy dinner conversation. Definitely will return.“
“Quality and taste of their food, 6 out of 5!Their friendly and helpful service 5 out of 5Their cozy, casual and calm environment 5 out of 5.For food, I recommend Braised Leek, grilled octopus, and of course you must try their famous ceviche. Don't go for their steak, it's not as good as their seafood. For best service, go for James Asitimbay as the waiter. He deserves every penny of the tip he receives.“
“Amazing food and service - we had a fantastic server who recommended great dishes. Definitely try a ceviche and fried yucca! The meat dishes and skewers were all great as well, and the cheesecake lived up to the hype!Atmosphere was great, good amount of seating and nice clean restaurant. Definitely recommend!“
“Pio Pio is always a great option for a delicious Peruvian feast - been here too many times to count and always get the matadors platter w/ maduros instead of the salchipapas and sangria for the table! Great option for large groups and they take reservations too! Bueno!“
“Amazing restaurant, the food is always delicious. If you’re into peruvian food, specially if you’re peruvian this restaurant is a must. Karina the owner and her team are super friendly and the service can’t be beat, every time I’ve eaten here the food is fantastic and the service is always 5 stars.Vegetarian options: Can make the chaufa vegetarian.Dietary restrictions: Can make the food to cater to all dietary restrictions.Parking: Street parkingKid-friendliness: Lots of families come here with small children, high chairs ready to go.Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheelchair accessible no steps“
“Everything was perfect! Great good, Great service. I had the skirt steak, tostones. I recommend getting the medium since it was closer to well done. The waitress recommended it, so glad she did. Very affordable. The sangria was also great. Good music, too. Really recommend it. 5 of us ate.“
“Dined here a few weeks back and absolutely loved it. Didn't have a reservation, but was able to sneak in before dinner service got busy. Interior was well-designed and open kitchen concept is always cool. We had a bunch of apps- ceviche, calamari, a fish crudo. We each had a ramen (shortrib and duck). All the food was great, fresh, and interesting. Definitely would recommend.“
“Kausa is the gem of this Avenue. The service / atmosphere is great and reflects how much they care about their customers, from the boss to employees. Our server Karla was spectacular, friendly, charismatic and well tendered our experience. The food was tasty and the mixologist drinks were top notch. This spot is highly recommended for your Peruvian cuisine.“
“Glad we found this place while searching for a lunch spot in Harlem. The service was super warm and friendly (¡gracias, Pablo!), and we can highly recommend the Lomo Saltado and the Arroz Chaufa Mariscos, which were both delicious. I've already bookmarked this place and will definitely be back to try some of the other things on the menu.“
“The associates and manager were incredibly personable, courteous, and helpful. The ambiance was great and not too loud to take my wife and mother-in-law who was visiting from out of town. The food was also delicious. I would recommend this place to anyone!“
“The food was amazing, I would love to call out Aries and Angela who were the cooks behind the amazing cuisines I got to try. As well as Joseph and Kathy who were amazing servers, they were so attentive and gave some of the best customer service. They are an excellent team, with some of the best personalities. Not only were they friendly and fun to converse with but they positive, and welcoming. It made the aura the best to have a meal in.“
“Well, the place is very nice, the service in general is very good, I recommend it 100%, it covers all expectations, greetings to inca paisa!!!! Katherine, Valentina and Sthephany very good serversParking: Very good, very reliableKid-friendliness: Of course the atmosphere is familiar“
“Came by for an early dinner on a Saturday night. This place is a little outside the busy main Astoria area. The outside looks very minimalistic you wouldn't know it's Peruvian just passing by. From the drinks to the entree, everything was tasty and portioned well although slightly on the pricier side. One cocktail, fruit drink, arepa small dish, ceviche mixto, and entree came out to $100 after tip.“
“This is a small, but pleasantly presented BYOB restaurant - comfortable & welcoming. We had lomo saltado, tallerin saltado (seafood and the mixed beef & chicken), and tacu tacu bistek. All were delicious. Lots of fresh seafood, and chicken, and the beef was lean and tender. We tried the causa rellena (chicken) and causa de camarones for appetizers - tasty and refreshing. Everything was delicious, and service was friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be going back.“
“This place surprised me brunch is a must here great music live dj great vibes awesome staff good drinks well priced brunch menu and drinks overall this place is solidVegetarian options: Definitely will be happy hereDietary restrictions: Yes they walk you through it all again manager and staff amazingParking: Parking is kind of hard but not really depending on the time for brunch street parking is definitely available in the area and Sundays meters are freeKid-friendliness: Yes and again the staff and management will make them and you feel at homeWheelchair accessibility: Yeah it’s wheelchair accessible and the staff is amazing“
“This has to be one of my favorite restaurants now. When looking for it and entering, you may be a little bewildered that it's a tad cramped but not uncomfortable. But oh, is it worth it. The food is great and tastes like family recipes. The staff are very kind and It almost feels like you walked into a family friends house for lunch. Amazing overall.“
“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the culinary wonders at our local deli, and I must say, it was a five-star delight from start to finish!From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere immediately set the tone for an exceptional dining experience. The friendly staff greeted me with genuine smiles and were more than happy to help me navigate through their extensive menu.The variety of options was impressive, catering to all tastes and preferences. Whether you're a fan of classic deli sandwiches, crave a hearty salad, or desire a comforting soup, this deli has it all. The ingredients were fresh, and the attention to detail in each dish truly stood out.I opted for one of their signature sandwiches, and it was a flavor explosion! The bread was perfectly toasted, and the fillings were generous and well-balanced. What impressed me the most was the quality of the meats and cheeses – a testament to the deli's commitment to sourcing the finest ingredients.The side options were equally enticing, and I couldn't resist trying a few. The potato salad was creamy and flavorful, while the coleslaw added a refreshing crunch to my meal. It's evident that the chefs take pride in creating dishes that not only taste delicious but also showcase the artistry of deli cuisine.The service was prompt and attentive, making my dining experience even more enjoyable. The staff's passion for the food they serve was evident in their recommendations and willingness to customize orders based on personal preferences.To top it all off, the dessert selection was a sweet revelation. I indulged in a delectable pastry that left me craving more. It's rare to find a deli that excels not only in savory options but also in the realm of desserts.In conclusion, this local deli has earned its five-star rating through a combination of exceptional food, welcoming ambiance, and outstanding service. Whether you're a regular looking for your go-to deli fix or a newcomer eager to explore a world of culinary delights, this establishment is a must-visit. I can't wait to return and savor more of their mouthwatering offerings!“
“They are really excellent, the food is very good, the service is very excellent, a very good place to go to eat, it is quiet and it is very cheap. The only problem is that they do not prepare any type of cocktail, no alcohol, perhaps that is why not many people go, but apart from that That's why the service is first class....“
“Absolutely fantastic, I've been meaning to come here for a year and finally did. Service was excellent, food was great, extremely quick, and very reasonably priced for LICTheir HH drink menu looked good too although I didn't partake“
“Have been here a total of 3 times and it’s never a disappointment . Food is delicious and so well presented. If you want to give them a try would be great for lunch as lunch is 12.99 and they have so many delicious options that you cannot beat!!!“
“I live in West New York and I come with my family to taste delicious grilled chicken, the best is their fries. My kids love the Chaufa joint. Their portions are abundant and the food is very fresh. Pablo, always kind and helpful, takes great care of us.The owners are charming. Highly recommended.“
“Place was ok. Kitchen closed early. And their drinks are insanely overpriced. Gruitity was automatically included, which I didn't know but good to know for next time. DJ was really on point! I would visit again but I'll pregame on my own.“
“After a day of thrifting, I looked up best restaurants near my location, and stumbled upon this incredible restaurant. It’s no frills, but truly incredible food and service. The staff were so kind and ensured we had everything we needed. My table ordered theceviche, lomo saltado, and some sausage and potato appetizers.Great price point, and a little gem in Paterson. Support this women owned business !! Can’t wait to head back“
“There are many Peruvian restaurants but Julia’s Cafe is one of my newest favorite Peruvian food in town. The food is definitely authentically made by a Peruvian cook that understands the passion of culinary through Peruvian cuisine. Even down to sauces and spices you can taste some authenticity. We often get catering when we have a get-together or a birthday and they often times accept despite not having delivery drivers sometimes. I’m grateful for the owner and his service and for food. Everyone should give them a try and have a taste for themselves. ??“
“My sister has a Peruvian catering business and no Peruvian restaurants matched her seasoning and consistency…but then I came to Somos tu Peru and WOWOWOWOWOw!!! Delicious food with the right seasoning and to top it off, AMAZING service! This is my spot!!!!“
“From the moment I walked through the doors, the hospitality and atmosphere stood out. The restaurant comes to life in all the right ways from the lay out, to the music, to the aesthetic. Our waitress was incredibly kind and her customer service was refreshing to experience as a customer. She was super helpful in showing me how to navigate the menu filled with such delicious options. And what one comes here for, the food. I have lived on the east coast my whole life and this was the best authentic Latin American cuisine I have the pleasure of experiencing. From the variety of tasteful empanadas, to the delicious chicaron and tostones. If you are a fan of Hispanic culture and cuisine, I couldn’t recommend a spot better than this one. Do yourself the favor and come through.“
“Had their daily dish. Arroz con Pollo with caldo de gallina.They were both great.The rice might have been a bit stale that day, but overall had great flavor and would come again to try more items.It came with papa de huancaina, not many other places do it right, but here it tasted how I liked it!Wish it came with egg.“
“The food and service were excellent. The prices are affordable, they serve you the quantity and taste of their wonderful food. I went on a Saturday and they had live music. Good to enjoy with family, as a couple, with your friends or simply alone. A 10/10“
“First of all, the attention to some, the very kind lady waited for us because it was almost time to saw but the atmosphere was good vibes, for example the music, the food was very delicious, the airport, the magician's candy, the acevichado sushi, ufff, I have to return the acevichado maqui, I said sushi for They knit it for you, but one is Peruvian, it turns out that it's your za but recommended your guy Y7it?“
“This was a last min choice me and my family went to since the other restaurant we were going to had just closed. I don’t regret choosing to celebrate my birthday here. I had so much fun and Loved the decorations, especially the mirrors. Food,Service and atmosphere was excellent.“
“Absolutely superb Peruvian food served by very nice folk. We had a trio of ceviche, a huge cauldron of chicken noodle soup (we took home a quart of leftovers. But the best was potatoes w/three cremas. The yellow was good, the red had a touch of spice, and the green was wonderfully earthy. We want to return with a group to explore more of the menu.The service was warm and caring.“
“small space inside + friendly + quick service. $60 matador combo was perfect for 4 - included whole rotisserie chicken + avocado salad + tostones + fries and salchicha/salchipapas + plate of red beans and yellow rice. ask for the green + spicy/kick salsa.“
“I couldn’t believe when I saw it about this restaurant selling my typical food from my town in Perú!!! I have been looking for so long a restaurant that will sell my jungle dishes from my town in Perú.If you haven’t tried authentic jungle food you got to try this place, is small place has few seating inside but food is delicious!!! I got Juanes, tacacho mixed with bits of fried pork skin, humitas saladas, arroz chaufa and papa a la huancaina (the last two dishes are typical Peruvian dishes)Also they have aguaje ice creams, cocona drinks and uvachados (exotic drink) delicious!!I’m definitely coming back to eat more of my favorite dishes!!!!“
“Came to this place today, Sunday, for early lunch with the family. Since we were the only customers at that moment, we knew that we would get our orders pretty fast and we were all hungry. The place looked great and food even better! Anticuchos and Jalea is what we ordered appetizers and the specials of the day, Baked Fish and Arroz de Mariscos were really delicious. The classic Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken could not be forgotten which was just as good. Definitely recommend this place. Wished I had my phone to show how great all our orders looked. We’ll be back whenever we are in the area for sure!!“
“A splendid place to eat with your family. The food here is filling as well as being well prepared, food can take as long as 15-30 minutes to complete on a busy day but the wait is worth it. The service is equally as great as the cousine. I would highly recommend anyone to come “
“First time trying Peruvian food and it didnt fail me ❤️We ordered , lomo saltado , jalea and cevichewhen the food arrived ,our expectations continue to be exceeded.Every bit of our meal was scrumptiously satisfyingThe lomo saltado was cooked perfectly and the flavor tantalizes my tastebuds .Jalea contained abundant seafood that was almost too good to stop eating whileCeviche was also in generous portion , there was a perfect balance of fish and other fresh ingredients and spice ..i love mine extra picanteOver all the food and service was superb !!!Will definitely come back !“
“Went here on a Sunday, service was top notch, there also wasn't many people. The Waiter was very nice, helpful, and energetic. The food was very delicious! The Arroz Chaufa, Grilled Chicken, and Fries that my family ordered were the best of the best. If I could give this Restaurant more than 5 stars, I would. Definitely Recommend for anyone trying to look for delicious food!Kid-friendliness: Atmosphere is very calm and of the many times I've visited this Restaurant, I always see a family or two dining.Wheelchair accessibility: At the Door Entrance, there is a ramp accessible for People in Wheelchairs.“
“So I would say food is good, service is great overall. Just a heads up: when ordering online for take out, the sauces they give are almost not even filled up and more watery consistency. It used to be creamy. It was not like this before, dont know why they changed it. Unlike when you eat in, the same sauces are actually better ??♀️“
“I’ve been coming to El Sombrero for years. The food has been very consistent and my Mexican and Peruvian friends love this place. I have come here as well as taking it to go. We don’t even live nearby, but we like it so much, that we drive half an hour to eat here. I’ve brought friends from all over the world to eat this ceviche.That said, tonight was a bit different. We were served by Miriam (according to the receipt). She was not only rude, she would roll her eyes every time we asked for something.I usually run into the sweet lady who’s always there who seems to be a manager or one of the owners, not sure. But I would have loved it if she was there so she could have a conversation with this girl.I’m definitely gonna be coming back, but I’m gonna wish that that girl is not our server next time“
“Never had Chinese Peruvian food before so was very intrigued. Came on a weekday night and was surprised that the store was packed. Was able to get seated quickly and they allowed us (2 people) to sit at a 4 person table which was very nice of them. - Complimentary Bread - I don't know what they put in this bread, but I was a huge fan. The bread was so soft and hot... and with the butter, it was just perfection. I also loved the crust as it was very flaky and crisp. I could just eat this as a whole meal and be happy. - Lomo Saltado (Beef) - I was not a big fan of the fried rice on the side but this was one of the best Lomo Saltado I've had in the city. The tomatoes and onions were cooked to perfection as they were very soft and packed with flavor. The fries were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The beef was also very tender but crispy at the same time. - Chinese Style Squid Fried Rice - Not a big fan. Feel like there was a strong oily after-taste like the fried rice in the Lomo Saltado. I did appreciate how many ingredients there were, but it didn't feel very appetizing. Overall, would just recommend the bread and the Lomo Saltado if you do come here. Also, I have to say that it's refreshing to watch all the servers play around, it made me very happy to know that they all are great friends with one another.“
“Food was soo good. Ordered a total of 3 times from here and flavor was consistent. Please don’t change a thing. Pay the cook accordingly!!! They don’t have a huge menu but everything they do have is top tier. One of the best camarón mofóngo ive had in awhile“
“Had the opportunity to return to this treasure in the heights - this time I got the invigorating soup called caldo de gallina. This is not your run of the mill chicken soup. This is a meal and made me feel like a million bucks and like I could shovel snow the rest of the afternoon. I was contentedly full the rest of the day.“
“My favorite food, super delicious, very good portions. I always ordered Uber Eats until I had a delivery problem and now I order with their own delivery and they handle deliveries very well, everything arrives in order and hot. I recommend this place 100%.“
“Great restaurant and atmosphere, the food was very delicious and to its perfection. Abel our waiter was so welcoming and very professional. He gave us options in regards to menu options and would highly recommend to anyone around the area. Will definetely come back for the food and drinks ?“
“Beef chaufa was fantastic with green sauce. Wife said her soup was 7/10. Yucca fries and huancaina tasted odd to me so I didn't indulge after ordering. Service not great (perhaps understaffed?), and dining area was ridiculously cold during winter, not comfortable. Would eat here again but bring more layers to wear. Parking very challenging.“
“Humble place, but don't let it fool you.This is the BEST PERUVIAN FOOD I've tried in the area and I'm a big fan of Peruvian food,This is the best food so far, fresh and tasty made with loveAmazing lomo saltado, the Ceviche was very fresh, and the seafood soup was “
“My family and I love coming here on sundays! The food is very delicious, it has a mixture or all types of Latin American dishes. My favorite is the Mofongo de pollo. It comes in a creamy mushroom sauce (I included the picture of what was barely remaining). But we also love to get the Jalea which is not in their updated menu. I did call to ask about that specifically because we ordered take out. Had a bit of a problem with my order but they were able to help me and fixed my order.“
“I believe Flor de Mayo is a unique NYC chain mainstay. I love that they have multiple locations but I usually go to the same one lol. Last time I was here it was right before I was pregnant with my daughter.The staff is always on point and it’s always packed. Locals love the drinks and Chinese-Peruvian fusion. This place is my version of an upper echelon Chinese Food Restaurant!! There use to be something similar on Fordham Rd. MOVING ON!!I ventured out this time and ordered food I normally wouldn’t. I got the cilantro rice and wasn’t really satisfied. I thought the rice was a little mushy and not the flavor profile I was looking for. The chickpea guisado could’ve been better. It really just looked like they threw a slurry in a pan with tomato sauce and chickpeas. I will not be ordering either of those again. I will stick to the fried rice which is always exceptional!My grandmother accompanied us on this trip and enjoyed herself so I appreciated that. We just learned she has GERD so having something she enjoyed made our day.With love.“
“Jarana has a menu inspired by the Japanese and Chinese influences on Peruvian cuisine. This makes it unique.We started with Cebiche Classico, which was a very balanced dish with sweet potatoes, crunchy cancha and hearty choclo. While the cancha stole the show, we wished the dish itself shined out better.Our second dish was causa coctel. Which was too rich to our preference.The tallarin saltado especial which was stir fried linguini was very tasty. It was a simple dish that hit the spot.The combinado limeno was light and refreshing, but could have worked harder to make it a dessert that shines out.Overall the food was very good.The service was prompt to start with, but got slower over the meal and it was getting harder to find our host and get his attention.Overall we would recommend the place.“
“This time service was not very good. There were two tables with food and when we arrived, there was no one to receive us. We waited at least 10 minutes for the waitress to come back out. The other tables also had questions for her. It seems like she’s multi-tasking but failing miserably. The food is excellent here but they need to work on the service. Be prepared for mediocre service but great food here.“
