This was my first time at this restaurant, but I will definitely be back. The food was all delicious, the service was great and the entire staff was extremely friendly. When we drove up, I had the feeling that this would be a great experience: a former fast food place (maybe a Carvel?) transformed into an authentic Peruvian restaurant: tiny, with bare bones decor, because it's all about the food. Five enthusiastic stars! read more

Food is not great at all. There's better Peruvian food in the area. On top of the bad food, they automatically charge you 20% tip on your bill. Stay away. They'll literally serve you food that barely qualifies as Peruvian, but with a smile, while they charge you 20% tip. If you're feeling adventurous, then go ahead and try them, but I'm sure you won't go back. read more

I ordered from Al Toque through GrubHub tonight. I was in the mood for a fried red snapper and this didn't disappoint. I was worried that it wouldn't be crisp coming by delivery, but to my surprise nothing was lost. The fish was flavorful and tender on the inside. The rice was a little dry but the fried yucca was cooked well. read more

Im being very generous by giving 2 stars . Idk who gave them 4 stars clearly they dont know good food . Al toque has fallen off drastically . Its very saddening . Everything went downhill when the original owners sold this place . They were also the owners of waka tay in woodbridge nj . Bot places are bad all around . The food isnt good period. No way to sugarcoat it . For the most part you wlways get old rice . Best advice i can give anyone trying to eat peruvian and not waste money or time . Its very simple ask to try their green sauce. If the sauce isnt hitting then forget about the food . I can tell just by looking at the green sauce to know if the food will be good . It cant be too dark green or watery or too light . It has to be a light pistachio or keylime pir color and itll be safe to eat there. Just like that. read more

Al Toque is a small place in a busyish area. It's a Peruvian restaurant and my go to is the chaufa. I ordered online and when I arrived my order was ready. Inside, the place is small with a few seatings but it looked clean. As for the chaufa, it's was delicious. It comes with chicken, steak, and shrimp which blended beautifully together. The aji Verde sauce tasted great. A bit more liquid than the other ones I had just still really good. The rice was nice and tender and cooked well. The food is a bit pricey but they give a hefty amount. The single order I had was enough to feed me twice. Wish they had a chaufa option that was enough for one serving. But otherwise still very good. read more

Al Toque Peruvian Restaurant - Chaufa especial #1 - Peruvian Near Me - Somerset, New Jersey

Wow! Ordered for the first time. Tallerines verde with rotisserie chicken. It's on the menu with steak instead of chicken but I asked nicely and they came through. Nothing short of amazing. The sauce isn't as bland as the other times I have tried it elsewhere. Not spicy hot but it seemed like it had some dill and other mild spices. The rotisserie chicken was the co-star of this disk. Moist, flavorful and well cooked. It was a large portion and I barely finished it. The staff were attentive and nice. The place was quite clean. I'll be back. read more

Customer service is probably the best I've received ordering from a restaurant. Their food has always been incredibly delicious, and what takes things a touch above is the care they take regarding their customers. Best Peruvian food in Somerset county !! read more

This place was OK. The atmosphere was as expected. The price awful for what you get. I ordered "papa a la Huancaína with chicken and rice" and there was no egg in the Huancaína which is ridiculous - shows how much they cheap out. The chicken was real good though. And the green sauce was great. Everything else was mid. Service was quick. read more

Friendly faces and delicious food. We called to order tale out 20 min before closing (we didn't know). We were informed that they were closing in 20 min but if we could make it within that time they would be happy to feed us. We live in the neighborhood so that was no problem. Everything was tasty, fresh and hot (after ordering we did fear that we might get old food but that was not the case). The shrimp chaufa was one of the best as per my husband. The roasted chicken was well seasoned and moist, even the white meat. Salad and french fried that come with the chicken were nothing special but everything else makes up for it. read more

Stopped by for a quick lunch a few days ago and had a good experience at Al Toque. It's a small restaurant with about 5 tables inside but loved all the Peruvian decor inside the restaurant. I ordered the half chicken that comes with fries and salad and the chicken was tasty and flavorful. They also have great green sauce and the ladies working there were friendly and got the food out quickly. They have their own parking which is also a plus. I'll be back and hope to try more of their dishes soon. read more

Al Toque is the best and may be my favorite restaurant ever. I get their Chaufa Mixto (Chicken & Beef Fried Rice) with extra Aji Verde (Green Hot Sauce) and it is so flavorful and delicious. I also get cancha (corn nut) on the side for extra crunch. The staff are so friendly and the food is always ready on time, if not only a few minutes after. I have mostly gotten take-out but have eaten in the restaurant a couple of times and it is a nice, small but cozy environment with a decent amount of tables. They are really the best!!! read more

I love this place. It's small, cozy and casual, with great service and great pollo, plantains, chaufa, and salad dressing. Even their dessert was good. I was craving Peruvian food, and I know that spots in central Jersey are hit or miss. But Yelp steered me here and I am grateful. Just minutes from New Brunswick, this place is conveniently located with parking. It is also across the street from a latin grocery store, which is a plus. We walked in and were immediately greeted and seated. The place is small and casual. We ordered a pollo combo, which came with chicken, rice, fries (topped with hot dogs), plantains, and salad, all for like $23! My fiancé ordered the chicken chaufa. Everything came out quickly and was fresh, authentic and delicious! The rub in the chicken was amazing. The flavors were just really on point. The chaufa was garlicy and tasty. The portions were big. For dessert, we got the flan and tres leches. The tres leches was really good, but the flan was just ok. But everything else was damn near perfect. I highly recommend this place. I cant wait to go back! read more

Charging for green sauce 1.50. After buying more than 50 dollars in food... on top of that the food is decent and portions are small. Next time if a customer is buying more than 50 dollars in food don't charge for sauce. Its unbelievable read more

Affordable, great serving sizes, and delicious! We enjoyed the whole rotisserie chicken, pork tomales, and papas and plantains as sides. The chx was juicy and cooked perfectly. The huacatay sauce is a perfect compliment to the chicken. Plantains and papas were abundant and all this was prepared for $25! The only negative thing I could say is that the papas were kind of soggy-but that may have been because they were sitting a little as it was a pick-up order. Additionally, the papas could have used a touch more salt. Great overall-we will be going back! read more

I used to get food from here a lot more often when they were delivering via multiple online sites (GrubHub, EatStreet, etc.). This restaurant may be using UberEats but since UberEats doesn't deliver to my area I don't know for sure. The prices may seem a little high, but the portions are very large. If you'd like to try something authentic to Peru try the lomo saltado. The rotisserie chicken isn't too bad either, I get that when I want something not as heavy. Instead of fries I get tostones (a lightly salted fried plantain) when I get chicken. The place is really small, but it doesn't get too crowded during lunch and the parking lot seems like it can hold more cars than this place can hold people. read more

It's a cozy place and friendly. With that said here is my review. 1. The Causa was good for a big portion and it was decent. 2. The Leche de tigre was ok for a big portion, however it could have been better. 3. The Seco was not that good. a. The frejoles looked like it came from a can, it tasted that it came from a can. The white onions that came with it were cut up in perfect square pieces b. The guizo was ok it wasn't that bad c. Now the meat, I've never had fried meat for a Seco. The meat should be soft and tender. 3 pieces of meat and fried. FRIED...who does that. For a peruvian place I was expecting better. Now if a restaurnt can't take the time to do everything from scratch, specially the Seco. It is a let down for me, because I'm Peruvian. read more

Bad, rude service. Very disorganized staff. Food is less tasty than all other Peruvian restaurants I have tried in NJ.

First time at this place. We were to our way back to VA and stopped to try it. Delicious

Tried out this place and ended up loving it. The servings are huge, the food tastes good, and the price is just right for the portion of food. The staff were also really nice. They helped by recommending us what their best dishes were. Also recommend the papaya shake! We ended up getting them to cater our party for Friday since we were so satisfied with their food. We're for sure going to be back! read more

Al Toque is located in a tiny space with just a few tables to dine in with. Since it was the end of the night, we took our food to go and eat at home. The arroz con pollo was really good and packed a lot of flavor. The pollen la brasa was really good too. Normally, I love papa a la huancaina but I didn't really love their huancaina sauce in comparison to others I've tried. Their fried yucca was good and paired really well with their green hot sauce. I wasn't a huge fan of the vinegar based hot sauce but it was fine because their green hot sauce is excellent and I'm glad I had asked for extra. read more

Pretty much a hole in the wall Peruvian spot. Went to eat during my lunch break with a coworker. We didn't have to wait at all. We were able to look at the menu and ask questions. Our server was great. A down side to the location was a lot of items on the menu, they did not have. They did not have anticuchos or papa rellana on the appetizers. They also did not have alfajores which was disappointing. The food itself was average, not completely amazing. I did not take a menu home. read more

The pollo a la brasa is soooooo flavorful. Super tasty, succulent chicken! Prices are decent. Combo of whole chicken, Maduros and salad for $17. Location is small for dine in, perfect for take out orders. Lots of parking, just off the main road. Highly recommended! read more

It's been a while since I posted a review, just felt like posting. I've driven by this place many times and never thought of stopping here till my wife got a craving for ceviche. Came here after work... first impression..... well out of 5 I give it a 3 1/2. Decor lacked something, furniture was old... they need to work on improving their hospitality... not that they were bad... just lacked a welcome. Now for the food...... Excellent!!! I got the roasted chicken... perfectly cooked and flavorful. My wife ordered the shrimp civiche... now unfortunately I have a shrimp allergy so I couldn't taste it... but my wife says it was delicious!!! Everything was made fresh... amazing food and huge servings... I would definitely eat here again. read more

My boyfriend and I wanted to try somewhere new, so we decided on Peruvian food. Must say, we were not disappointed. We split the lomo saltado (with a side of tostones) and it was delicious! Meat was super flavorful and the portions are huge! I'm glad we split it--worth the price. Great flavor overall, would come again. read more

This place makes some of the best rotisserie chicken I have ever had. I had the conchitas, which are fried pieces of corn with salt, a whole rotisserie chicken which was moist through and through, and rice and beans. Now the time it takes for them to prepare your order could take some time so come here with patience as it is worth it, or order delivery ;). It's a small place that has nothing fancy about it but honestly I'm not one to care much for decor, now for the quality and taste of the food I am. This is the place if you want some food that will fill you for hours. read more

Just came here today 7/8/18 at 7:30pm to eat food and was told by the inconsiderate lady at the front that their kitchen closes at 7:00 pm. Mind you it says they are open until 9:00pm on Yelp***. TERRIBLE SERVICE. NEVER COMING HERE. read more

There was a language barrier when I called in and ordered for delivery however at the end they got my order right and successfully delivered to me at a timely manner. I ordered the seafood fried rice, and they are not stingy with their seafood- mussels, crab, scallops, shrimp, and a piece of crab all in the rice. So tasty! I also ordered the rotisserie chicken which came with fries and salad. The salad dressing was so tasty! The chicken was so flavorful and tender. I highly recommend this place! read more

I ordered for delivery and my food never came. They didn't call to cancel or anything.

I ain't no Peruvian, but I know that Lomo Saltado includes tomatoes; not the one I had at Al Toque. But that was not the only problem. It was obvious that it was a left over from at least the day before. It was reheated in the microwave, I am sure. It was dry, and it looked like when you reheat something in the microwave. Also, I could tell they had just made the french fries and dumped the meat on top of them. But that was not all. (More?!) The meat was cheap, and hard to chew. The portion was small. On top of that, the taste was not classic Peruvian -- that world-famous, unique, taste of Peruvian food; it was salty, perhaps because it was sort of dry, I don't know. I had a few bites, paid (they overcharged me, calculating the tax "a ojo,") and -- this is the best part -- left. Before getting there, I had saved the address on my GPS, anticipating that I would be going back to this newly discovered Peruvian restaurant. (Peruvian food is among my favorites.) But I deleted the address as soon as I left. I am not going back, that's for sure! read more
