“I love this little place! The food is always on point! The ceviche mixto was absolutely fantastic and every time I have gone or ordered frog this place , the service has been excellent! I’ve had to substitute items because i have a limited diet and they have been wonderfully accommodating! THANK YOU!!“
“I hated Lima beans, until I ate them at Contento. In fact, everything I ate there was perfection. My husband and I sat at the bar, which is exactly where I’d sit again. It’s cozy, comfortable and you can see some of the kitchen action as well as chat with fellow diners. The chef came out and helped us pick out a great bottle of wine. I use a wheelchair, which is what first attracted me to going to Contento. I appreciate feeling included. But I have recommended the place to friends and the next time I’m in New York I look forward to going back.“
“Te amo Mission Ceviche! My Boyfriend took me here for my birthday. The entire staff treated me like a King! The customer service at this restaurant is absolutely incredible! The food is a gastronomical fantasy. Incredible flavors, fresh ingredients, truly mouth-watering meals. My Boyfriend is from Peru and he says Mission Ceviche is like coming home for him. He is practically obsessed with the two ceviche dishes (Mixto y Classico). For me it is the short ribs. O-M-G I don’t think I have EVER had a meal so memorable and incredibly delicious. To be honest my words do not do the deliciousness of this meal justice. Simply put...it is oh so good. The short rib is cooked to perfection and is so tender you can eat it with a spoon. The accompanying sides are the perfect compliment. The sauce that’s used...I hope they bottle it because I would buy vats of it! The rice with choclo is sublime. The tres leches rich, creamy and absolutely decadent. The food is amazing. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous. The music is fiyah. The location is super convenient—a half a block to the subway and Crosstown bus. What really sets Mission Ceviche apart is the incredible Maitre’d Carlos. He treats all patrons the same...from babies in strollers to celebrities. He is so incredibly kind, humble, gracious, charming, intelligent, professional and inspiring. He is passionate and proud. It is awesome to see him keep the atmosphere ebullient and festive and the food flowing. He manages it all so effortlessly. I think it is because he honestly loves his chosen career and when you’re happy and you know it “work” is pure joy. That joy Carlos gives it to all of the Mission Ceviche patrons. This was not me and my Boyfriend’s first time dining at Mission Ceviche. We are now greeted by our first names when we arrive. Carlos is there and he has the biggest smile and we know that we are in great hands and know we will eat well. Every dining experience at Mission Ceviche is amazing! Go to this restaurant...make the reservation...you will not be disappointed...trust me! Bravo Carlos and the entire Mission Ceviche staff.“
“Excellent experience overall.We had some expectations for this restaurant and we were blown away with how amazing was the food.We are food lovers and travel al over the world booking the best reviewed restaurants. We were amazed with the dishes and the desert.The dishes that stood out the most for us were the scallop ceviche , the Patarashca whole fish and the two deserts we had were the lucuma flan and the Chirimoya .AMAZING!!!Will be visiting again very soon!“
“Excellent place for a family or couple reunion, good atmosphere, good music ? the best thing is the very good attention, very attentive to every detail until the opportunity to meet the chef personally, in particular I usually detail the dishes but on this occasion he was up to the task one of the best ? to go again, the drinks excellent at their point, good teacher“
“Incredible dinner here with really creative plates blending Japanese and Peruvian dishes & ingredients. I loved that each dish was unique and unlike anything I’ve had elsewhere, yet nothing was too out there and the flavors were familiar/comforting. Enjoyed the corn croquettes, the risotto with shrimp & uni and the pork katsu with pesto udon“
“On a bustling Saturday evening, we did an 8PM walk-in at Jora, opting to wait thirty minutes for a table over immediate seating at the bar. We commenced with three dishes: the Grilled Octopus, placed atop a Yukon mille-feuille; the Jalea, a crispy assortment of fish, shrimp, and squid, paired with yucca and salsa criolla; and the Lomo Saltado, sirloin stir-fried with onions, tomatoes, and French fries. The addition of corn to two of the dishes provided a textural intrigue, with glutinous kernels complementing the octopus and semi-popped kernels the Jalea. The Lomo Saltado was just shy of too salty, prompting us to sip water liberally.Our meal concluded with the Passion Fruit Cheesecake, whose creamy tang atop a graham cracker crust helped balanced out the savory dishes. The service we received was cordial, the pricing of each dish was fair, and the appetizers and entree arrived in unison — ideal for larger dining groups.In summary, Jora offers an engaging dining experience with a palette-pleasing array of options, suitable for those who enjoy sharing a meal.“
“We order one appetizer and 3 main dishes for 2 adults and 2 kids. The tamal limeño appetizer was very good to start the night. It was very tasteful. The main dishes, the ceviche mixto was excelent! Very refreshing, the ceviche had octopus, shrimp, calamari and fish. The second dish, The camarones cuzco in yellow aji sauce was spectacular too. The third dish piqueo pacifico, was a set of 4 ceviches was also very refreshing and tasteful.“
“We are so blessed to have such a wonderful restaurant so close by! Claudy’s is always such a treat…Vegetarian options: Rice and beans and verde and veggie empanadas for the win!Kid-friendliness: My grandson always asks for empanada night!“
“On Sunday, March 17, I went with the family for the first time to celebrate my son Adrian's birthday, we had a great time, the food was great. I have worked for a long time at the Hirohisa Restaurant in Soho, which has had a Michelin star since 2017 and I found the Peruvian food excellent. (I am Peruvian). I recommend it. The lomo saltado is really filet mignon and cooked to perfection, delicious male corvina, spicy shrimp, chaufa rice with chicken and not to mention the pineapple pisco sour the best, etc.“
“Food amazing, staff amazing, hospitality amazing. Everything was very fresh, seafood cooked perfectly and the corn nuts are fun. Came with a large party and Tito took care of us, if you’re on the fence about dining here, you shouldn’t be.“
“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.“
“I had such a great time at Dora's Thursday happy hour. Great place to reunite with friends. Food was good, drinks well priced and the owner was a delight. My steak came out a little less red than I like but the flavor was delicious. One of my friends requested to add chicken to her pasta and the owner was happy to accommodate and my friend loved her dish.Vegetarian options: No meat Pasta, salad and vegetable dishes were on the menu .Dietary restrictions: There was enough of a variety for all to enjoy.Wheelchair accessibility: There was a gentleman in a wheelchair that appeared to be able to get around easily. Spacious dining area.“
“Great music, great atmosphere. We had a good service, they forgot one of us and the others had to wait for us to eat all at the same time… Food was delicious, drinks too. I feel it was maybe a little bit pricey, specially on the drinks side but we had a great moment and we could definitely go back anytime.“
“Mia was great first time coming to this spot and I enjoyed it, the mimosa was hitting ! Definitely a spot to come back tooVegetarian options: Good options for all food choicesParking: Weekend parking will be perfect or you can get on the meter“

“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 place is the best spot in uptown great food, beautiful eating area with an excellent service . I love this place since they open in our neighborhood is a family owned business that will exceed anyone's expectations if you can't afford traveling to Peru like me this restaurant is the closest thing to it. I highly recommend this place unbelievable Peruvian cuisine ceviche and lomo salteado taco Tuesday is a most . Affordable $$“
“This place is cute. It's small and cozy but plays really great music not only Spanish but English too Ans it's not even that annoyingly loud. The staff top tier, they're great and amazing they make sure you're okay within a reasonable time and they're like annoying about it. I only had appetizers and drinks and both was really good I can only imagine their food is as good as the apps. Overall experience was great I love it. It's a great place to go with friends to catch up or even with a partner to have dinner.“
“Great authentic Peruvian food , the best ceviche that isn’t ridiculously overpriced in the city ! As a person who comes from South American background and grew up in Queens going to many Peruvian restaurants the flavor is definitely worth the trip to Essex Market in LES if you want an authentic ceviche mixto in Manhattan.“
“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 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.

“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.“
“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.“
“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. ??“
“In a town with a thousand Peruvian restaurants.. la casa de ceviche is one to check out! Went there late for dinner on a Sunday. Ordered shrimp chaufa and chicken chaufa and both were very delicious. For $19-22 a plate, the serving size did not disappoint. The waitress did not understand English but the menu has both Spanish and English.10/10 would recommend trying.Que rico, gracias!“
“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“
“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.“
“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 “
“The food is excellent, the atmosphere is great, the music is just enough to enjoy the dishes of Peruvian food, which in my opinion is one of the best. The waitress Claudia was very attentive, very friendly 10/10 highly recommended, thank you Lima for giving us this incredible experience.“
“Outstanding. This establishment is a perfect embodiment of a simple place that serves incredible food. Forget about the fancy chairs, seats and decor...none of that here (the wall tapestry is actually amazing...though)... It's food packed with intelligent flavor, genuine spirit and love. Nothing more, nothing less. I'd go here any day over the millions of 'fancy' restaurants that look great, but have absolutely no soul, are generously rude to customers and serve insipid food. Do yourself a favor and take the train, car, whatever you need to do...to get here!“
“Fantastic food and service! I originally tried to order on Uber Eats and the restaurant website online for delivery, but neither would allow me. I finally called the restaurant who graciously offered to deliver to Astoria without hesitation, on a snowstorm day (of course I added tip to my order, that was incredibly kind). The food arrived with a very kind gentleman, and it was absolutely delicious! Very happy with this place - will definitely be back :) ..thank you so much!“
“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.“
“It is a small place but very cozy, it has a wide Colombian menu, I ordered the tripe and I really liked it, they have a menu for children, do not miss this experience since it is not a spicy food Low in salt, the rice has that garlic flavor and onion reminds us of the homemade “
“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“
“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 !“
“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“
“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 ?“
“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%.“
“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 “
“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.“
“We have been to the cheapest to the highest class Peruvian restaurants. We have never been charged, much less $5, for the little bowl of corn nuts (cancha) you get at every Peruvian restaurant in America. To sum it up, I brought six people, spent over $200 and they felt I needed to pay $5 for something that is free at 98% of restaurants. You also get six fries/potatoes in your lomo, so be ready for that.“
“I chose this shop after coming out of B&H with my purchases. I wanted something different than a subway sandwich. Food was great but the portions were small. I'm used to larger chicken. I guess it would be good for someone on a diet.“
“We sat in their beautiful new dining area and enjoyed their lunch specials. $12.95 gave us a soda or water, an appetizer and a huge late of food. The chicken soup was better than grandma's, the salad had a unique coriander dressing. The platters came piled high with food. My husband enjoyed every morsel of his pesto noodles and fried fish. We spent three weeks in Italy and didn;t have pesto this good. My rotisserie chicken was moist and flavorful, with more rice and beans than I could eat. We dined here twice with friends and they were also favorably impressed with the fried fish fillet.“
