Was in Paterson and my partner was dying to try a Peruvian place so we did. This place was the…read moreclosest place we could find and we got lucky and found parking up front. Parking is challenging in the area-heads up! The place was OK. I wasn't blown away. We tried the jalea and lomo saltado. The service was very fast. The food came out right away which I was surprised about. The food was good. Not blown away because the jalea lacked fresh fish-don't even know if they served fish and the limo wasn't the best in my opinion. I would try it again overall. Not the best but not the worst. The chicha was OK. I've had better. By the way, the bill was odd. They apparently charge for the tip but don't really tell you nor make it clear on the bill. I feel like they shorted themselves on the tip because I normally would have paid more for tip but I paid what was requested because it was just odd. I felt bad afterwards and feel I should have given extra. Anyhow, perhaps this is a norm in Paterson. (I'm not familiar with the area nor dine there at all.)

I have a big appetite and I had to take some of my dish home. I had a Piscopo sour which was veryyy strong and tallarin verdes with chicken. The pesto sauce was flavorful and plentiful, I dislike when places are cheap with their sauce, this place certainly wasn't. Thank you chefs! I really appreciated that the chicken was very well seasoned and complimented the pasta well. My friend got a chicken causa which was the perfect texture, smooth, a great size, and also flavorful. She also got the tallarin saltado de carne which she loved, I tasted the beef and it was a bit tough for me but the flavors were all great. Our waitress was very nice and did not make us feel rushed. Also loved the decor and traditional Peruvian music playing in the background. I will definitely be coming back soon to try other dishes!

I made a reservation and they've respected my request to be seated inside. The atmosphere inside is very vivid, like the name of the restaurant... it feels like you are in a party. My only wish is that they would play Peruvian music so the experience would be more immersive with the food. The menu is big and one of the things that I've liked was to see a lot of dishes that are not common in a Peruvian Restaurant outside Perú... like Aji de Gallina, Anticuchos and Picarones. Now the most important, the food... the quality was very good, since the plates arrived to our table, the smell and the presentation was a temptation to go all the way in. The ingredients used felt fresh and made to order. Every plate had its own characteristic and flavour... good size too. The "choco lucuma" cake for dessert was a great finish... moisty and the intensity of the chocolate and lucuma flavor to a good ratio. If you have the chance to try it... go for it, you'll not regret.

I order the rachi and pancita combo, and my boyfriend ordered the pollo saltado. The pollo saltado came out incredibly quickly which can be good sometimes; however, in our case, the rest of the plates for the other five of us took another 15 minutes to come out, and we're a family that waits for everyone to have their food to eat. The pollo saltado was a very big portion, but it wasn't the best one we've had in the area - it had more of a homemade flavor rather than a restaurant one. The rachi and pancita were good but a bit burnt for my liking. If you go to Peru, the places that sell, this would serve that not as "well done" so this wasn't great in comparison. Overall, the bill came out to around $220 which to me seems a bit excessive . The service was your usual Peruvian service, so not great . We did get dessert. We got their dulce de Leche cake which was pretty flavorful. My only thing though is that Peruvian's called this manjar blanco, and not dulce de leche, so it never sits right with me when a Peruvian place call something by the name of Peruvian wouldn't call it by.

A suggestion to management is to be considerate with paying customers & accommodate reasonable requests. A tranquil dinner was ruined by exposure to unnecessary noise, it's not fun - especially for children.

The place is at the same location where previously a Thai restaurant was and it has the option of stairs or a ramp for those with disabilities as well as an awning that's inviting and protects from rain. Now once you enter the restaurant is really clean with a modern leaf wall and the Nueva Hispana restaurant name in a neon sign. Lots of mirrors on the walls give the place a feel that is bigger as well as large windows. Large TV with salsa music playing. The service was very good and fast we ordered a $15.50 Milanese chicken breast (chicken cutlet) with French fries (they were really crispy and freshly made!) with a side salad in a tasty dressing. We also ordered Pescado a lo macho ( a traditional Peruvian dish of fish filet with seafood in a creamy sauce) with a side of yuca and salad for around $21-23. Overall the sauces were really tasty place is modern and clean with linen napkins, not paper, and good service worth stopping by and trying some delicious Peruvian food. Tip: no parking but lots of street parking. Also, no 1/2 or 1/4 rotisserie chicken meal that Peruvian restaurants are known for.

That said, my experience was not great. The TV was loud when we arrived, and the music coming from the kitchen competed with it, making conversation difficult. I asked for the TV to be turned down, and they did, but when a young kid came in later, the hostess turned The Flintstones up loud again, so once again it was hard to hear each other. More importantly, we clearly marked "no eggs" on the menu and told the waitress about an egg allergy, but the chicken fried rice still came with egg. After we pointed it out, with the menu I had written on still at the counter, the dish was taken back and returned with bits of egg still in it, which made it seem like the egg had just been hand picked out instead of the dish being remade. Also, ask for tap water unless you want to be charged for bottled Poland Spring. Overall, the food was decent, but the noise and the way the egg issue was handled made for a disappointing visit.
