    1/2 baked chicken with rice and salad. So good and flavorful.
    Alex W.

    So, I happen to to work in the city and I've driven by this place countless times. It's a very small place and I should of known better, that the smaller the restaurant the better home style cooking it probably has. I ordered 1/2 baked chicken, which comes with rice and salad. Totally impressed, it was an all around great meal, prices are reasonable. Only draw backs, is there are photos on the menu of dishes that they don't serve and sometimes the door is locked when they are open, because they have been held up a few times, so it's keeps the robbers from quickly running in. But hey, it's Bridgeport what do you expect. Great Food and friendly staff!!

    Lomo Saltado! Done so well at this establishment. Thank you Chinita!

Recomiendo a quienes visiten este restaurante que revisen cuidadosamente tanto la calidad de la comida como el detalle de la cuenta antes de pagar. Basándome en mi experiencia, no puedo recomendar este lugar, lamentablemente mi experiencia fue muy decepcionante. La comida no parecía fresca y daba la impresión de haber sido recalentada. Empeze con la yuca a la huancaína, pero la salsa estaba demasiado espesa, no tenía el sabor ni los ingredientes característicos de una auténtica huancaína y no se parecía a la foto publicada en la página web del restaurante. Además, la yuca parecía congelada. Como plato principal pedi filete de pescado y corvina, un pescado tradicional peruano que además era uno de los platos más costosos del menú. El pesacdo llego frío, seco y sin sabor fresco. Los frijoles de acompañamiento estaba seco y sin buen sabor, y el plátano maduro estaba excesivamente maduro y muy grasoso. Llamé al mesero para mostrarle mi plato y expresarle mi inconformidad. Le indiqué que no quería comerlo y no pedí otro plato debido a mi decepción con la calidad de la comida. Cuando llegó la cuenta, me cobraron el plato que no consumí y además habían incluido automáticamente un 20 % de propina. Esto no fue claramente informado y solo lo noté al preguntar por un cargo adicional en la cuenta. Solicité hablar con el gerente y resultó ser la misma persona que me había atendido. Mi queja no fue tomada en consideración y terminé pagando la cuenta completa. In English: As a Peruvian, I know what authentic Peruvian food should taste like, and this experience fell far below expectations. I encourage diners to carefully review both their food and their bill before paying. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant and unfortunately my experience was very disappointing. The food did not taste fresh and seemed reheated. I started with the yuca a la huancaína, but the sauce was overly thick, lacked the authentic flavor and ingredients, and did not resemble the dish shown on the restaurant's website. The yuca itself tasted like frozen yuca. For main course, I ordered fish fillet and corvina, a traditional Peruvian fish that was also one of the more expensive menu items. The dish arrived cold, dry, and lacking freshness. The side of beans was dry and flavorless, and the sweet plantains were overly ripe and extremely greasy. I brought these concerns to the waiter's attention and showed him my plate, explaining that I did not want to eat the dish. I did not order a replacement because I was dissatisfied with the quality of the food. When the bill arrived, I was charged for the meal I did not eat, and a 20% gratuity had already been added. This was not clearly disclosed, and I only discovered it after questioning an additional charge on the bill. When I asked to speak with the manager, I learned it was the same person who had served us. My concerns were not addressed, and I was required to pay the full amount.

    Costa Peru has been bookmarked in my Yelp list for a while, and on my birthday, my mom asked where…read moreI wanted to go for dinner. Milford's restaurant week was happening, and Costa Peru was on my list, so I decided to go there. My family ordered seafood, while I went with the Peruvian Chicken Wings topped with Peruvian Barbecue sauce, Ceviche Chicken Wings, and Lomo Salado. I was particularly curious about the Ceviche wings because I'd never heard of them before. The ceviche sauce is inspired by Aji Limo Ceviche, a lively Peruvian dish featuring fresh, raw white fish like sea bass or flounder "cooked" in lime juice, seasoned with citrusy, spicy Aji Limo peppers, red onions, and cilantro. It's usually served with sweet potato, corn, and leche de tigre (tiger's milk), offering a tart, spicy, and refreshing flavor. The Ceviche wings were fantastic. They had a bright citrus kick, and I could taste all the distinct flavors, including the spices and chilies. They really hit the spot. The barbecue wings were just as enjoyable, with a sweet yet tangy sauce and perfectly seasoned chicken. The Lomo Salado was also a hit; the rice was fluffy and full of flavor, and the tender Lomo meat practically melted in my mouth. For dessert, I ordered the flan. It was my first time trying it, and I was curious about the taste. Honestly, I didn't care much for the texture, but I'm glad I gave it a shot. My son picked the Passion Fruit Cheesecake, which was pretty good. It's not something I'd order again, but I'm glad I tried it. The service was excellent, and I'm definitely looking forward to returning and trying more dishes from the menu.

We actually didn't know anything about and what they served. Inside was beautifully decorated and we were seated quickly. We looked at the menu and saw they served Peruvian food. We never had it. We started with the trio empanadas and each one was delicious. If I had to choose one I pick the chicken as the top empanada. I didn't know what to order for the entree and the waiter recommended the Seco De Tría and Lomo Saltado. One was a short rib and the other was a beef stir fry. Both were very delicious! The waiter was very attentive and friendly. I would definitely come back here again.

The beef empanadas were flavorful and satisfying, while the cheese and guava had more of a sweet, dessert-like vibe, which was a nice surprise. Both were delicious in their own way. I also loved the roasted corn they serve at the table. It is such a great touch. The dipping sauce had a nice little kick to it that added extra flavor without being overwhelming. The space itself is beautifully decorated, creating a really inviting atmosphere, and they even have a drive through, which is super convenient. On top of it all, the service was excellent. I would definitely come back, even if it is just for a quick bite again!

Biodegradable containers , yet even the beans was wrapped tightly. We did the family meal with whole chicken. Great value for money. The portion sizes were ample.

The sauces were delightful especially the green sauce. Customer service was also spot on in response to feedback. We will try again and you should too.

I'm always interested in discovering restaurants that serve genuine dishes from different countries without Americanized alterations. When he mentioned the location, I recognized exactly where it was. He specifically recommended the Fried Rice, known as Chaufas. I also learned from him that Chinese influence is prevalent in Peruvian cuisine due to historical migration, which explains why these flavors are integrated. The restaurant operates as a takeout spot, with no seating available. Upon entering, I was greeted promptly. Initially, I planned to order the Fried Rice, but I decided to try the Lomo Salado with white rice and added chicken instead. The Fried Rice can wait for another visit. My order was ready in about fifteen minutes, and it was substantial enough to serve two people--really good value. The rice was delicious, cooked to perfection--fluffy and well-prepared, even if it lacked a bit of seasoning. They provided a side of Lomo Salado broth, which I could pour over the dish, but I found it unnecessary. The steak was flavorful, tender, and juicy. The chicken I added was decent; it was well seasoned but tasted somewhat cheap, so I wouldn't order it again. The French fries were good, though I prefer rice as a side. Overall, the meal was excellent, and the customer service was outstanding. I'm already looking forward to returning to try the Fried Rice.
