La Tia Delia Restaurant - Peruvian Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

This is now the third time in a row that I've been charged hidden or unauthorized fees on my bill. What made this even more concerning is that they didn't provide me with an itemized breakdown of my bill. It was only after I asked to see the receipt and questioned the total that I discovered they had added extra charges. Every time I've confronted them, they've refunded the money--but only after I caught it myself. The most recent visit was the worst. We were a party of two, yet they automatically added a 20% gratuity to the bill without making it clear. Then, on top of that, they asked me to leave the tip in cash, without mentioning that a 20% tip had already been added. That's extremely misleading. As for the food, it's very basic and nothing worth going out of your way for. At this point, after three separate incidents, it's hard to believe these are just mistakes. I strongly recommend everyone ask for an itemized bill and review it carefully before paying. Based on my repeated experiences, I would avoid this business altogether. read more

Delicious, authentic reminded me of Lima. I've been home sick and going to this place reminded me so much of home. The flavor. The papa a la huicaina it was just what i needed. The lomo saltado. Wow. Just wow. My boyfriend got arroz con pollo and it was amazing! Don't get too excited like us and not realize they have plates that have sides to come with. We didn't realize it till afterwards! They also sell tamales and empanadas and they were both really good! read more

Wanted to try something different so picked Peruvian. I don't know the cuisine intimately but the place felt authentic and the food was tasty. Would definitely go back just for the ceviche. read more

What fun finding this historic Peruvian restaurant in Little Lima. We could feel the history upon walking in. Was our 2nd meal of the food tour day so went with their classic seafood ceviche that lived up to its fame with the freshest of shrimp, calamari, flounder etc in their lime and lemon tiger juice of the gods! Hello. Then went out of the box and tried the grilled cows heart and tripe that was definitely for the seasoned taste and a little out there. Their signature green/white condiment sauce was the winner to dip it all in! Now the surprise stars of the meal were the cold chica morada purple corn drink that had hints of cinnamon & cloves, plus the amazing light and fluffy zeppole like picarones, fried pumpkin batter donuts covered in warm honey, truly delicious. We will return again!! read more

Anyone that knows anything about Peruvian food and lives in North Jersey, knows that Tia Delia will always hit the spot if you are looking for some authentic home cooking! I hadn't been here in years so when I ended up here randomly on a Friday night I was super excited. We asked if we can dine in and they quickly cleared a table for us. Didn't take us long before deciding what we wanted! I ordered the Arroz con Pollo which is Green Rice with Chicken that came with Papa la Huancaina. AMAZING!! Chicken was juicy, rice was flavorful and the sauce on the potatoes had a great creamy consistency. The guys ordered steak which was also a great portion and cooked to their liking. We also good chicken chaufa which was spot on! I know there had been talks about the food being different over the years but after my experience, I would say they are still pretty spot on and would definitely go again. And they offer take out! read more

My gf was in the mood for Peruvian food so we decided to try somewhere we hadn't been. Tia Delia was a heavy hitter in town for a long time so off we went. It wasn't pretty packed for a Saturday so a red flag went up in my head. We started with a ceviche and anticuchos (grilled beef hearts). The ceviche came out almost right away. Another red flag went up. But upon tasting my guard was lowered and the flags were gone. The ceviche was super fresh, tasty, and refreshing. I will say that the fact the choclo (corn) is omitted bothered me a bit. Instead they add a boiled potato (on top of the sweet potato that already is included). The anticuchos came out shortly after. Seasoned and grilled perfectly. Tender and flavorful. For entrees we ordered an arroz chaufa mixto (Peruvian rendition of chicken and beef fried rice) and half a roasted chicken. I'm glad to report that my red flags were for naught. They apparently still got it! Everything we had was delicious and fresh. We Finished the meal with an order of picarones (Peruvian donuts reminiscent of zeppoles or beignets). They are made with a squash and sweet potato. Very successful meal from start to finish. Moral of the story is not to judge a book by its cover. Tia Delia has a weathered exterior but the soul and love remain within and clearly transfer over to the food. It's also a BYOB so come prepared. Make sure to check them out! ENJOY!!! read more

La Tia Delia Restaurant - Pollo a la brasa - Peruvian Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

I had a wonder experience at la Tia Delia! We often have Peruvian food in our area so we always try looking for restaurants, especially in Paterson. We ordered ceviche de pescado, anticuchos as our appetizer followed by pollo la brasa and arroz chaufa mixto for our main meal. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised on how delicious all the food was. The ceviche was 100 percent fresh and executed perfectly. It didn't include corn but it's totally fine. The anticuchos were served flavorful and perfectly cooked! The arroz chaufa mixto included beef, chicken and it was also served perfectly cooked. Don't forget to try the green and red sauces. They are served fresh and have a brightness to them. FYI- red sauce is actually spicy! We ended our meal with picarones. It's an airy fried dough like a zeppole. I definitely recommend trying Tia Delia. If you are Peruvian/Ecuadorian, it's like the old school spot you used to visit with your parents. It's not fancy but the food is fresh and enjoyable. Most importantly, it's BYOB! I can't wait to return to continue tasting Tia Delia's cooking. read more

Best spot to have good Peruvian breakfast, it always reminds me of when I was a little girl living in Peru. The difference now is that I'm a pescatarian and I can only get to enjoy the Escabeche de Pescado. I always say that no one and I mean NO ONE could ever cook like my granny did but they are as close as it gets. I obviously had the most delicious escabeche de pescado with sweet potato along with some coffee and some bread and butter while my dad had relleno with fried camote. We love coming to places that reminds you of your hometown, their food always hits the spot. Also, the service is good, the guys always makes us feel like welcomed. Definitely a great spot try if you want authentic Peruvian dishes, the area is not the greatest but the good food makes you forget about it! read more

Really great food, very fresh and delicious. The service was really good and they manage three little kids that were doing little kids things really well, they didn't get mad and were really nice with them. The ambiance it's very familiar. read more

You could improve Everything, starting from service and cleanliness a key of success!

La comida está buena pero el peor servicio de todo Paterson los tienen ellos. Solo hay un chaparrito morenito que si te atiende bien. Ah pero los otros tíos te tratan peor que como si te estuvieran regalando la comida...esto es motivo porque mucha gente deja de ir a este lugar. En conclusión: buena comida pero peor que horrible servicio read more

I thought it was just ok. My husband is Peruvian and we have spent a lot of Time in Peru. He used to come to this place as a kid, so we decided to stop in. The dishes that we tried don't really compare to what we had out there. We had the ceviche, papa la huancaina, and the arroz con pollo. The ceviche and the arroz con pollo both needed salt as they were a bit bland. The papa la huancaina was good. I did like that the portions were generous, but I wish there was more flavor. read more

Besides the food in Peru, I really enjoy this place. I always order the same thing; lomo, ceviche mixto, papa a la huancaina, jalea, chupe. I overlook the decor and the offensive videos of petite mountain people fighting like savages. I'm so glad they FINALLY did away with that. I also do not like the parking situation. The service is good. I have been coming here for 20 years. I actually met the owner a few times. I have tried other Peruvian restaurants in NJ, Florida, Elizabeth and nothing else comes close to Tia's. read more

The bistec encebollado was pretty tasty and came with a generous heaping of onions and tomatoes. It was well-seasoned and well-balanced. The chicha morada was also great. Service was very quick; I let them know I had a train to catch, and my dish was out of the kitchen in no time. read more

We came to see the waterfalls and I got hungry for ceviche so did a search online and found this gem of a place. This is the best ceviche and lomo saltado (beef chopped with onions and tomatoes with rice and fries) I've had since I moved from sunset park Brooklyn five years ago. It's super authentic and the owner is a gem (he told me to wait to eat flan for a while after ceviche so I don't hurt my stomach so we bought two to go). We'll be back often now we know it's ten minutes from montclair! Thank god for this spot! Parking can be tricky but it's absolutely worth it. And they take MasterCard or Visa cards or cash. Enjoy! read more

Food is good but the customer service sucks. He's always having an attitude/ yelling. I called on the phone to place an order and i was confused so i was asking him stuff and he literally yelled at me saying he doesn't know what i want and to hold up. Not even 3 min into the call and he's yelling/ giving an attitude. This isn't the first time as well. read more

Comfort food at its finest. Quick & decent service. It feels like you're at someone's home.

This restaurant is in Patterson New Jersey in a not so great part of town. Nothing extravagant about this place but the food is very homey and good. We ordered the green rice with chicken that come with a side of potatoes with creamy cheese sauce . Our meal was very good, the chicken a little dry but all in all very tasty. For dessert we ordered the tres leche and a slice of chocolate cake and coffee. Both were very good. Tres leche was fresh and moist and the chocolate cake was also very good. We will definitely go back. read more

La Tia Delia Restaurant - Delicioso! - Peruvian Near Me - Paterson, New Jersey

The food is delicious I have been here quite a few times. The place is simple and ok and so is the service.

As every Peruvian in New York knows, you have to go to New Jersey to find a feast worthy of a table in Lima. Tia Delia's is my favorite. Unlike some of the other NJ peruvian spots, Tia Delia's has both the seafood AND the rotisserie chicken DOWN (and her green dipping hot sauce is wild). The seafood dishes here are incredible- fresh Parihuela soup, choritos a la chalaca (mussel ceviche served with incredible 'salsa' on top) and the best ceviche mixtos. The Seco De Cordero (a cilantro lamb "stew") is tender and inviting along with the stewed canario beans. The fried yucca is crisp yet tender inside. On every visit the meal just amazes you. The price tag alone is worth traveling out to Paterson, NJ. And for the NYC car-less crowd, here's a bus schedule: http://www.njtransit.com/pdf/bus/upcoming/T0190.pdf Why am I craving an Inca Kola right now?? read more

Ceviche mixto super picante - man what a sweat!! But no one can come close. Maybe Costa Marina on Market st., they are a good second. If it wasn't for the poor parking area, this place is it! Nice!!! read more

Traditional home style Peruvian cuisine. An extensive menu with lots of very fresh seafood options and ample portions at reasonable prices. Very authentic flavored and ingredients used make La Tia Delia a wonderful culinary experience for those who venture to Patterson. The Green Chicken with Huancaina is really good!

I mainly come here for breakfast. They serve the best chicarone (Fat on Fat) Fried pork sandwich with sweet potato and onion salad. The sandwich is good as hell to have once in a while. I emphasize once in a while. The boss of the place is like short of hearing peruvian uncle I would never want. He just wants me and my friends to eat, pay, leave a large tip and leave. Don't bother asking to make any changes in your order unless your truly peruvian. We always get extra picante. The green one (mild). I like to go with more orange picante but that does not agree with me sometimes. Don't be a noob and ask for ketchup. I also like their tamale with the onion salad. For entertainment, watch tv there. They have the most random stuff on. It's mostly Peruvian variety program. Never park in the strip mall with the pizza place across the street unless your Trump. Park in the side alley where unimaginable stuff happens to avoid getting your car towed. Always in moderation. Stay thirsty my friends. read more

I been to tia Delia's before many times and have nothing but good memories until today. I spent 70 dollars in food that went straight to the garbage. The arroz chairs de mariscos was extremely salty with the rice so over fried it was hard as a rock. The ceviches were also completely bad and not eatable. I know we are going through some hardships but do not open a restaurant and ch as the people for garbage read more

I been coming here since the early 90s. Yes its a hole in the wall Yes the place isn't pretty. But its great food with huge portions at a very reasonable price. The most famous Peruvian restaurant in North Jersey! read more

Visiting NJ for the first time and as a Peruvian I was very excited to visit this area. We were actually looking for a different restaurant but couldn't find it and found this place. Must've been a sign because the food is DELICIOUS. We order chicha morada, salchipapas, chaufa de pollo and lomo saltado. Definitely coming back the next time we visit. Must try! read more

It is was not AUTHENTIC! Carapulcra tasted like watered down guisado from a Dominican restaurant the pork Chuck's were warm and the outside was cold how does that happen? The white rice was on point. Chicha was good and papa a la huancaina was just right. Husband ordered tallarin saltado that tasted like parsley when the main ingredient spinach and basil, where did they get parsley? The spaghetti tasted like if it was sitting in noodle water. Service sucked waiter didn't care but got upset when my husband walked to the counter to ask if they took cards. read more
