Visited this restaurant with my bf for Sunday lunch…read more We ordered and shared the fried whole red snapper which was huge and seasoned good. They apparently don't always have that on the menu so it was a special item for that day. We ordered salad rice and plantains for the sides . I really enjoyed the meal. The server spoke little English but it was enough to order and understand what we wanted to eat . My bf also ordered their homemade pineapple juice which was amazing and not too sweet.. The restaurant is very small but cozy with a very small parking lot . So it's suggested to park on the street around the corner from the restaurant.

The owner seems very friendly with the surrounding businesses so you know she's here for the community. Go support her if you can. BTW they have two different ají Verde sauces, 1 creamy and spicier; the other is brighter with stronger citrus notes with less heat

We came here on a Wednesday night around 730. Looks like a fairly new place with not alot of foot…read moretraffic but I'm glad we took a chance and went inside for dinner. Their food is 10/10 with large portions, fair prices and most importantly, the food was flavorful and hit the spot! steak fried rice- lots of umami, generous portion and topped with scrambled egg. This is a must order! Bistek Ala pobre- a bowl of white rice, fried plantains, French fries and 2 pieces of steak seasoned very well. Breaded chicken with rice and plantains and fries- thinly breaded and crispy, a generous portion as well! Lime lemonade - a carafe we order- sweet and flavored just right! Base ceviche- a must order as well! Perfectly balanced and seasoned with lime and everything needed for a great ceviche. They have other kinds but I'd gladly order this again. Street parking, service is friendly, credit cards/ cash. Restrooms are clean.

We came here on a Sunday morning for some traditional Peruvian breakfast…read more We ordered two pan con chicharron and a chicken tamale. For a drink, we went with the jugo especial. The pan con chicharron was incredibly packed, I could not even fit it in my mouth, so much flavor yet little fat. The tamal was good, not the best I've had but pretty solid. Both were "true" Peruvian servings. The jugo especial was very good!! It took me back to going to the mercado back home and getting one. The service is absolutely incredible. The owner is incredibly sweet and told us his story about his family's restaurant back home. They have plenty of seating and a nice bar area as well. I will most definitely be coming back to give their lunch and dinner dishes a try!

Of the three dishes, I recommend the Lomo the most. The pieces of beef were plump and tender and the flavor of the sauce was good especially with the rice.

The wait time was a little long for our food once we were seated but we got to sip on our cocktails during the wait. Peruvian artwork filled the walls and my husband appreciated that his Quechua culture was represented. What a great restaurant for downtown Rahway.

I have tried many Peruvian spots and this one didn't hit the mark…read moreThe rice was a bit dry, the yuca frita was hard and worst of all was that they are extremely cheap when it comes to the salsa I bought two large platters good for 5 adults and I got 2 small sauces And was told they charge extra for anything more. Unfortunately the rice was barely filled and I didn't feel as if it was worth the price I paid for it

I ordered delivery and tried the chicken lomo saltado and the chicken arroz chaufa. The lomo saltado was good overall. It was well seasoned, but I wish it came with a little more sauce because there wasn't enough to mix into the white rice. The chicken pieces were also a lot thicker than I like. My favorite was definitely the chicken arroz chaufa. It was full of flavor and the rice was cooked perfectly. The only thing that disappointed me was the green sauce. I was looking forward to it, but it was really watery and lacked both spice & texture I was expecting. Overall, I'd order the arroz chaufa again and would try something different on the menu.
