    ROACH IN MY Lomo Saltado Carne
    Erinma U.

    I AM SO DISGUSTED!!! I ordered takeout from Lena Carbon last night and I get all the way home only but to discover a ROACH hidden in my food. And to make matters worse, the staff was RUDE and unapologetic. I have been coming to this restaurant for over a year now and It is so disheartening to see the treatment I received over this matter. Not only did the staff ridicule me and accuse me of lying, when I tried to at LEAST get a copy Of my receipt they pushed me out of the door. How DISRESPECTFUL. All this over something that is not even my fault. I will never be eating here again due to this.

    Un lugar muy lindo, muy limpio, y de buena atención. Ordenamos salchipapas, Anticuchos, choclo con queso, y un delicioso chupe de camarones. El chupe de camarones fue delicioso. Su sabor me llevó de regreso a mi niñez, cuando mi mamita hacía su chupe. La porción de chupe es bastante para una sola persona. La chicha estuvo rica, pero pudo usar un poquito más de limón.

    In my dish!  Tacu Tacu con Bistek Maduros Ensalada Ensalada Criolla Aji Verde 2x1 Salad Dressing 2x1

    Tonight was a night I didn't feel like cooking, but wanted comfort food. Lena Y Carbon did not disappoint! This was my second time ordering from them since moving back to Newark. I ordered the Tacu tacu con bistek. The portion was enough for 2 meals, minus the side salad. I had gotten a small. It did include the criollo (red onion salad) but I wanted a full salad. The side of maduros were some of the best I've had. I miss my usual Peruvian spot in Little Neck, NY - Lima 33, but this was a great meal, and I didn't have to go anywhere! It was delivered via GrubHub for free. I will definitely order again. Next time adding some chicken after reading the reviews!

    The pasta was too rich and thick

    Tried to enjoy this pasta but it was to rich, felt full after a few bites from how thick it was. Steak was good though

    We stopped by Jarana at American Dream after a full afternoon at the mall, and it turned out to be…read moresuch a fun dinner. The restaurant is colorful, lively, and has a great atmosphere without feeling too formal. We started with the Tuna Wantacos. Our server warned us that they were spicy, and he was right -- definitely a little kick, but very flavorful. The white fish ceviche was bright and refreshing, with that tangy, salty leche de tigre that really wakes up your appetite. The Lomo Saltado was hearty and satisfying, but my favorite dish of the night was the Seafood Arroz Chaufa. It came topped with an omelet and had squid, fried shrimp, and plenty of seafood throughout. Really comforting, savory, and filling -- I would absolutely order this again. We also had chicha morada and a passion fruit drink. I've always liked purple corn drinks, so the chicha morada was an easy favorite. We finished with a chocolate dessert, which was a nice ending after such a big meal. Overall, a very enjoyable Peruvian dinner with fun décor, good flavors, and plenty of variety. I'd definitely come back, especially for the seafood fried rice.

    We came to Jarana with high expectations. As fans of Peruvian cuisine, we were excited to try a…read morerestaurant associated with such a well-known Peruvian chef. We left with the impression that this is probably the kind of restaurant someone should visit for their very first introduction to Peruvian food--not because it represents the best of Peru, but because it offers a simplified version of its flavors. The restaurant itself is beautiful. It's clear that a significant investment was made in the design, atmosphere, and overall experience. The service was friendly, and we noticed that many of the servers were Colombian, which isn't surprising since Colombians are well known for providing excellent hospitality. However, there were moments when it seemed that some of the traditional Peruvian flavors and drinks weren't fully understood. For example, the Pisco Sour we ordered was much sweeter than it should have been. We decided to start with the jalea, hoping it would set the tone for the meal. Unfortunately, it did the opposite. The dish was overly salty and lacked the balance and excitement that a great Peruvian jalea should have. Instead of reminding us of the vibrant seafood flavors found in Peru, it tasted more like generic fried seafood than an authentic Peruvian recipe. After that dish, we chose not to continue with the rest of the menu. To make matters worse, both of us experienced stomach pain afterward, which confirmed our decision to leave. One thing that also caught my attention is the restaurant's description of its food as "approachable Peruvian cuisine." Making Peruvian food approachable should never mean lowering the quality or authenticity of its flavors. Simplicity and accessibility can absolutely coexist with exceptional taste. The beautiful atmosphere should be matched by food that delivers the same level of excellence. Considering the premium prices, the culinary experience simply didn't justify the cost. If someone has never tried Peruvian food before, Jarana may serve... again: may serve as an introduction. However, for anyone looking to experience what Peruvian cuisine is truly capable of, there are several outstanding Peruvian restaurants within just a few miles that offer more authentic flavors, a better overall dining experience, and often at a lower price. I genuinely wanted to love this restaurant because the concept and ambiance are impressive. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the setting or the reputation behind the name.

So I went to the O.G. location, where I learned that one spun off to a different owner. I always appreciate O.G. so I'm glad to find that this one is thriving in Passaic. A little off the beaten track, Leña does offer a parking lot if the street is full. Not too crowded inside - well, see my photos - they sat me at a nice large table of my own and brought over that delicious large corn with spicy green sauce. I don't know the names, but this is delicious. The waitress happily walked me through the menu options and, being Ecuadorian, informed me to what was the most traditional here. I went with Tacu Tacu con... technically Pechuga. * Purple drink: Delicious, authentic, large glass, fresh made, fruity and refreshing. Guy at the other table had a whole pitcher and I might have wanted that over just one glass! * Side of fried cassava: Was told that's how Peruvians like it, and that matches my South American recollection. Delicious with that green sauce. * Tacu was on top of a large fried rice patty. Well, not really a patty, it just broke apart into delicious bites bursting with flavor. Wonderful and authentic. * Tacu chicken itself was pounded thin but seasoned so nicely I couldn't put it down. * Large meal accompanied by lettuce and onions. Even those were somehow delicious - okay, more green sauce was used - but my plate exited my possession completely empty. Wish I had room left to try the dessert, the flan or coco version thereof, but too full of delicious Peruvianism. Glad this was on my must try list, glad I chose this location - I'll be back!
