We ordered a variety of food including appetizers and everyone loved their meals. I always recommend this place to anyone who would like to try Peruvian food. The service was amazing and the ambience is very lively. They had someone singing and music playing and everyone was either dancing in their seat or standing up! If you're looking to have a great time and eat will I highly recommend bringing your family and friends here!

I will say that I was initially a bit turned off by my experience here. We were visiting family in…read moreeastern LI and on the way back home, stopped to visit my parents in East Meadow. I wanted to bring my parents some food, but not "fast food". We love Peruvian as it's the closest comfort food we've ever had that is just like home cooking and I know my parents would love it. I found this restaurant online, and the reviews were promising. I ordered on their website and set the pick up time. The payment went through on my end because I received a notification immediately upon paying. When we arrived to the restaurant, I was unsure where to enter. I accidentally entered the dine in restaurant section. They seem to have multiple spaces; a nicer restaurant with dim lighting, neon lights and a lively ambience, a more casual dining area that was empty this particular night, and then a bar section for drinks and takeout. One of the employees walked me over to the pick up area near the bar, and I let them know I placed my order. The woman looks confused and fetched the owner/manager. They claimed my payment never went through. I told them that 100% it did go through as I received a message saying such. They asked for proof of payment. I showed them my online bank account, showing the payment pending. The transaction was made through *their* specific payment set up on the restaurant's website. At this point I began to get irritated. I asked them if my food was ready because I ordered ahead for the main purpose of having the food ready by the time I arrived. They seem to still believe that maybe the payment did not go through and reluctantly began preparing my order. They could definitely sense that I was getting upset and my patients was running thin. They also obviously did not have my food ready so I ended up having to wait longer than anticipated. I had my husband come in with our kid, ordered some shots and a couple drinks. They were nice enough to comp us a couple drinks to make up for the inconvenience. Their natural juices do taste very good. I tried their passion fruit. I got my parents a rotisserie chicken and chaufa. I also tried both and they were great. I ordered myself a tamale but left it out all night and had to throw it away. I'm still pissed about that. They get 3 stars because the food and drinks were good, and they made up for their mistake, but I'm still a bit annoyed at their janky payment system. They're conveniently close to my parents' house so I'll probably try them again but maybe stop by in person and order take out while enjoying a drink at the bar.

I stopped by here for lunch after shopping at nearby newly opened Ross, one of my favorite stores!…read moreThe interior was elegant and spacious, as well as decorated for the holidays. There was a classy and welcoming feel to the place. Upon being seated, there were complimentary corn nuts with a savory green sauce. These were tasty and addicting, with a satisfying crunch. For my drink, I wanted to try the Purple Corn beverage. The waiter brought me Purple Corn and Passionfruit juices, recommending that I mix them together. I sampled them separately at first, and loved the taste of both. The Purple Corn was delicate and sweet, while the Passionfruit was citrusy and refreshing. I wasn't sure I would them as much together, but it turned out to be a delightful blend. I ordered the Steak with Sausage, along with sides of Tostones, Salad, Rice, and Moro. The Steak had lovely grill marks, was wonderfully tender and well seasoned. The Sausage was juicy and also bursting with flavor. Tostones were perfectly crispy, thin, and oh so flavorful. Some of the best I have tasted! Salad was a nice and colorful mix of corn, purple onion, tomatoes, avocados, bringing a fresh element to the dish. White rice was fluffy and cooked well. The Moro I did not care for, because I found it to be bland. Service was excellent. The waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I enjoyed my meal here and would return if in the area to try one of the Seafood dishes.

While the chicken was juicy, the steak was very dry and chewy. The pork did not taste fresh. We have ordered from here before and it's usually been okay, but this experience was disappointing.

Usually when I go on these buying sprees, I need to get second mortgage. Today it was $15. Awesome price, great variety and most importantly, great tastes. I got the bread pudding and the tres leches. Both were the best I ever had. Can't wait to try some of the other entrees.

How come it always feel like home when I see chicharones under a heat lamp? There is a healthy selection of ready foods and there are many more dishes available. The menu is extensive with many items that must be native to some country, but I have no idea what it is - More research needed. Calling a place like this authentic might be an insult - I can't imagine anyone questioning it. Prices are standard, but not a steal. My question is, what is a bahlad? ------------- UPDATE: more research done, it is Peruvian. The ambassador there said the Peruvians do chinese food better than the chinese. I had some noodles and it was more than respectable. There was a lady grinding pork right in front of me, so I asked for whatever she was making - they made me pork and cheese papusas right then and they were greatness. They cook everything right in front of you. The whole setup is very cozy. There are a few tables, but none will fit more than two. I can see this growing on me.

From the outside, the place looks pretty cool and inviting, with several classic cars parked out front that immediately catch your attention. We were greeted by friendly staff, and the atmosphere inside was very lively. We sat down and ordered our food along with some cocktails. The coconut shrimp was just okay--it tasted like it had been fried a bit too long. The chicken with garlic rice and beans was unfortunately very salty, almost to the point of being hard to eat. Our second dish, the ropa vieja, was again just okay and had a noticeable sweetness to it--possibly from the peppers. The drinks were decent, and the place features a dance floor, giving it more of a nightlife vibe than a traditional sit-down restaurant. While I'm not sure I'd return specifically for the food, I would recommend it if you're looking for Latin flavors, drinks, and a fun nightlife atmosphere.
