Have been there few times and never disappointed, if you need a sea food place, you should check it out. The ceviche, is delicious and as the rest of the food
Small place but food and service was very good. Would definitely go back try other dishes.
Was recommended this spot and it did not disappoint! I recommend making a reservation , it gets packed quickly. There were only 2 workers so with all the people it was hard to get the waitress' attention. The spot is pretty casual, and they nicely decorated it for fall season. Parking might also be difficult in the area. Overall the food was good. Portions are big, and everything was tasty. My group ordered a few dishes: bistec a lo pobre, lomo saltado, chaufa, jalea, and ceviche Classico and we all loved it. The bistec was a little dry but the sauce made up for it. Just wished that the sauce was on top instead of soaking it up on the bottom with the fries. The only thing I needed was some beans and avocado on the side to complete the plate.
Good service. Food is amazing delicious. Need more combination of food in one plate. Like in Peru. 7 colors
Please go here!!! Food is delicious! We ordered ceviche mixto, chaufa and the Jalea. Everything was so tasty, and fresh. Portions are decent. Service is a little slow specially when it gets super packed. A GEM in Elizabeth NJ. Ambiance eh.. it's not a vibe, but I enjoyed it- they had a singer and he sang well. We had a good time. ( we devoured the ceviche before I can take a pic )
