My wife, who is 8 months pregnant, and I stopped in for a meal and sat at a table where we have sat…read moremany times before, near the mirrors. The restaurant was nearly empty, with only one other couple dining at the time. Shortly after we sat down, I noticed one of the cooks open the front door of the restaurant, look directly at us, throw his hands up in frustration, and begin mumbling under his breath. He then started moving large boxes into the restaurant. Since I speak Spanish, I understood some of what he was saying. He complained that there were plenty of other seats available and questioned why we had chosen to sit where we were. As I looked more closely, I realized the mirrors beside our table were actually sliding doors to a storage area. It became clear that he was upset because my wife and I were seated in front of it. Had someone simply approached us and politely asked us to move, we would have gladly done so. Instead, the cook continued making comments under his breath and staring at us while moving boxes. Once he finished, he walked past our table, gave me a dirty look, and called me a vulgar name in Spanish ( cara de mierda). At that point, I stood up and asked him, in Spanish, to repeat what he had said. Rather than addressing the situation, he immediately walked into the kitchen and refused to come back out. At that point, I no longer felt comfortable having my food prepared by someone who had just openly insulted me and my pregnant wife. We decided to leave without ordering. This was especially disappointing because we have visited before and always enjoyed the restaurant. Unfortunately, the way this situation was handled was completely unprofessional and has likely cost them two longtime customers.

This was our second time eating here. The first time, we dined in the storefront section, which is…read morevery bare-bones with just a few tables. Even so, the food and service were great. Recently, we discovered that there's a much larger part of the restaurant in the back, accessible through the alley off the main street via the rear parking lot. The space is decorated with Peruvian art and vibrant colors. To start, we ordered anticuchos (grilled beef heart skewers). The marinade is packed with delicious. I honestly thought I was eating steak. I ordered the chupe de camarones (shrimp chowder soup). I cannot stress enough how big this bowl of soup is. They do not skimp on the shrimp! It's probably one of the best chupes I've ever had. I ended up taking a large container of it home. Likewise, my partner ordered the chaufa mixto (Peruvian fried rice with chicken, steak, and shrimp). Always ask for the green sauce, absolutely delicious! Just like with my soup, he also had plenty of leftovers. To wash it all down, we ordered chicha (a purple corn drink), which was so good. This place is known for its rotisserie chicken, so we ordered a half chicken to go for the following day. I understand why it's everyone's go-to here, juicy and flavorful. We don't live nearby, but the food, friendly service, and generous portions of delicious dishes make it well worth the trip.

With a name that befits the place, this small informal restaurant serves delicious Cuban food from…read morethe heart of Perth Amboy. The service was friendly, and reminds me of hole-in-a-wall restaurants in Miami. What I didn't expect is that the food is a marriage of Cuban and Dominican Republican, so in some cases you may get a variant of the Cuban dishes you'd otherwise expect. Our order consists of the yellow rice & beans with beef stew combo, a cuban sandwich, and a smattering of appetizers/side dishes, such as the delicious potato ball, yucca ball with ground beef inside, and some empanadas and croquettes. The croquettes are not filled with beef and/or cheese, but more like a corn/potato blend that's rather sweet. All in all, it's a delicious meal, one that we enjoyed a few blocks away by the waters of Arthur Kill since the weather was a bit warm. Would try something else next time we're in the area, perhaps when visiting the Fajji's ice cream 5 minutes away when it's open for the season!

Pros: Food ordered was 2 dinners; Pork Chop and Steak Onion Dinners, 2 empanadas, chicharon and tostones. ALL were seasoned perfectly and were DELICIOUS!!! Cons: Dinner portion was right (rice and salad) however, pork chop was limited to (1) one, as well as the steak. For the price of $12.00+ USD, and extra Pork Chop or Steak would be the perfect dinner entree for everyone. Overall: This business knows how important providing great quality food is to its customers and they have exceeded those expectation, for me. Will defintely visit again many times over.
