I was disappointed ,I have been there on many occasions, but finally returned after probably more then a year expecting the same quality of food, some of the food was good, but the pollo a la brasa, and the tallarin saltado con carne weren't only overcooked but locked seasoning, I did tell my waiter and he (Eduardo) was a gentleman and took care of my situation, it is because of the service and the hope that they had a bad day that I will return and hopefully will replace this review with a more positive one. After all anyone can have a bad day.

I'm a little disappointed today, I have been to this place on numerous occasions and the food has always been great, today was my first visit in probably over a year, the place is great, clean and well lit, the service was excellent, we had Eduardo as our server, but every person helps and is attentive to your needs, Eduardo was excellent, we started with drinks and a causa limeña to start, followed by tallarines verdes w/chicken, tallarin chino con carne and half a chicken a la brasa. The tallarines verdes were very good, but the tallarin chino and the pollo a la brasa were a disappointment, overcooked and locked seasoning. Eduardo was excellent and comped those plates. This is the reason why I will return, I hope to be able to taste the food that I was used to tasting, I understand that anyone can have a bad day.

Some of the dishes were good. Regarding ceviche, needs more lime taste, mussel chalaca were good as well as arroz con mariscos and leche de tigre. Good picarones.

Best Peruvian food in Long Island!! When craving peruvian food i don’t mind taking 45min ride just to get there, because is worth it! Its so hard to find the exact essence of peruvian cuisine and this restaurant knows how to do it. Meet this place back on 2020 and every time I go they exceed my expectations, polite, friendly and respectful. Food is the best!! Cabrito & anticuchos con rachi my favorite!!

Tried the rotisserie chicken combo (rice, beans, fries) and maduros. Everything was good but it didn't quite rise to the level of 5 stars so I'll settle on 4. The salad was a bit old looking and only had 1 small piece of avocado.

Very nice local spot. Good vibes good food good drinks. They were very attentive. I had their Peru Libre and a mix fried rice can't recall the name.

I don't know if he place change cooks.the food hasn't been good for a while. I always order the arroz chaufa with the green sauce I always tell the make sure to put the green sauce they didn't. I try the whole rotisserie chicken. The lady couldve told me that it doesn't come with rice. I don't mind pay the extra $5 dollars for the rice. But she could mention the options for the rotisserie chicken. $30 dollar just for chicken fries and salad. Both meals taste like it was done the day before the rotisserie chicken is dry a. This one was only Peruvian restaurant made the arroz chaufa good. I been too alot just to try to see which one makes the best. I always order at least 2 a month. The last few times it been bad. .. won't be ordering again.

It was a pleasant place. But yesterday I received a barbecue chicken with purple meat. I called to complain about what happened and they got upset. Obviously I wanted to return the food and they took it the wrong way, I asked for a change and the person who brought the food was very rude. It is the first time I have had a complaint and they treated me very badly. The service is terrible and they force you to give TIP when the food is already expensive, and if you receive it in terrible conditions it is wrong for you to complain because they are going to treat you the worst. If you pay 60 dollars for a chicken and a drink, I think you have the right to complain if the food is spoiled.
