I came here hungry. I left humbled…read more This sandwich has strips of flank steak stir fried with peppers and red onion like the cook had something to prove. Not aggressively. Confidently. The kind of confidence that doesn't announce itself, it just delivers. Then there's the crema de cilantro and aji, which basically tag team your taste buds and ask, "You good?" Yes. I'm great. Mind your business. This is not a, "Instagram made me do it" sandwich. This is a composed, disciplined, shut up and eat sandwich. Every ingredient is there on purpose. No freeloaders. The owner is a Peruvian chef who lived in Canada and now cooks in New Jersey, which explains why this sandwich has flavor, restraint, and zero patience for mediocrity. This isn't fusion, it's life experience on bread. Fair warning: eating this will ruin weaker sandwiches for you. You'll start asking questions. You'll judge more. You'll be disappointed elsewhere. Peruvian soul inside, llamas, Incas, Cusco, with Maplewood graffiti keeping it honest.

Fast and friendly service. Clean tables and seats. And fantastic sandwiches. They're big and can…read moreget messy but it's worth the waste of napkins. Perfectly cooked, juicy steak on my lomo saltado sandwich. And my GF really enjoyed her pulled pork sandwich. We went for lunch but could only eat half of them, ended up saving the remaining halves for dinner. We will definitely be back for more!

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.

everything was fantastic! i had the grilled chicken with yellow rice on the side. i also had fries…read moreand a salad. chicken was great. no fat! juicy too. loved the corn they put on the table. it was nice and crunchy. i love the green sauce. i buy it lol. the salad was good but too much dressing. i would get it on the side. i also loved the fries. perfect to dip. service was very friendly too. i loved this place!

Incredibly friendly family-owned restaurant. The food portions they give you... regardless in what…read moreeconomy... is a lot so come hungry. The fried rice was on point. 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 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!

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.

Highly rated Peruvian food at Montclair downtown so I decided to give a try. The food is…read morewonderful!!! It's a small place (5-6 tables) so it's better you go early or make a reservation. Parking is tricky since it's at downtown area (meter street parking at paid parking lot). Grilled octopus is really tender and flavorful, the sauce on top brings it to another level. Calamari is not the best, I feel it's cold. It's very small , all I can taste is the fried batch. I don't recommend. Arrozo Con Marisico is a must try. Basically rice soaked in seafood broth, very flavorful and soft. It comes with variety of seafood in there. Perfect portion for me. The staff is nice and attentive. Homey decorations. Clean. Definitely give a try when you are at the neighborhood.

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.

Unfortunately the rice was barely filled and I didn't feel as if it was worth the price I paid for it
