    I have been coming to this place for several years, but last month when I went I was so disappointed that I will not go back there again. The leche de tigre tasted like pure lemon, it was so acidic I couldn't eat it. The soup and the chica were good but then the ceviche had a bug in it! I called the waitress right away to show her and she just stared at my plate and said she couldn't see it. She then took the plate to the kitchen and said it must have been a fly that go in the plate. I wish I would have taken a picture before she took my plate but in the midst of the moment I didn't think of it. Then the waitress said she can offer us a free drink or chicken, but would not be able to take the ceviche off the bill. After that I lost my appetite and I wanted to do was leave the place.

    If you can't grill, don't put it on your menu

    What awful food truthfully. I'm peruvian, been in NJ for a long time, paterson is usually the go to spot but Rachi is NOT DONE IN AN OVEN. It's on a grill. A GRILL. Grilled foods don't leak 2 cups of grease. This is true serrano cooking. Absolute trash. I can hash it out to a bad day but this is the third order in a row where they just suck. This isnt peruvian food. This is dog food. Hire better chefs or just chose the restaurant down. I'm disgusted i had to pay for this. 22 dollars to NOT eat my food. The chicken is also marinaded with cinnamon which I want to ask, "what the fuck is your problem?"

    muy mala atención con este pollo que me trajeron jamás vuelvo a ir a Lena y carbon encima la mánager me dice que está ocupada

    I've been craving chicken from this place for quite a while but never have cash on me since they don't take credit cards. So I went to go grab lunch and I must have been really hungry because I took the turn into their parking lot too quickly and got a flat tire. Luckily the owner's nephew and another guy had just pulled up and jumped to my rescue and helped me out. They even told me to go inside and eat while they changed the tire, which of course I didn't. I thanked them so much for such great customer service and then went inside and got my food. I have to add, their chicken is the best I've ever had and not to mention that amazing green sauce! I'll make sure not to turn so quickly next time but I'll definitely be back.

    Pollo a la brasa - salad, fries and rice

    This place has great lunch specials with large portions, affordable prices, and quick arrival of the food. The restaurant itself is large but not cozy, and its not in the best location of Passaic. It took about 10 minutes until I was acknowledged, they are pretty busy with call ahead orders so I remained seated patiently. When the gentleman arrived to take my drink order, he only spoke Spanish so there was definitely a language barrier. I proceeded to order a Diet Inca Cola (Peruvian soda)..10 minutes later still no soda.. The language barrier was pretty bad! Once my friend arrived who spoke Spanish, everything went smoothly from there. I ordered a quarter Pollo a la brasa which is chicken prepared rotisserie style that came with 2 sides, so I choose the fried yuca and salad. The chicken itself was moist but not flavorful. It had a strange taste that I can't put my fingers on. The fried yuca was great and the salad was decent it was probably enough for 3 people to share it was that big! The green sauce served for dipping was absolutely delicious, it had a nice spicy kick to it with a light creamy consistency. Overall, it was an ok experience. With many restaurants around serving the same food, I highly doubt I'll be returning, service and food is crucial and it didn't satisfy here..

    Extremely dried and smelly chicken.

    Finally I could come to try this restaurant and I was gladly surprised, the hype is not fake…read more From the beginning, the attention from the personnel was super polite and respectful. I made a reservation and they've respected my request to be seated inside. The atmosphere inside is very vivid, like the name of the restaurant... it feels like you are in a party. My only wish is that they would play Peruvian music so the experience would be more immersive with the food. The menu is big and one of the things that I've liked was to see a lot of dishes that are not common in a Peruvian Restaurant outside Perú... like Aji de Gallina, Anticuchos and Picarones. Now the most important, the food... the quality was very good, since the plates arrived to our table, the smell and the presentation was a temptation to go all the way in. The ingredients used felt fresh and made to order. Every plate had its own characteristic and flavour... good size too. The "choco lucuma" cake for dessert was a great finish... moisty and the intensity of the chocolate and lucuma flavor to a good ratio. If you have the chance to try it... go for it, you'll not regret.

    lets start with the good.. service good taste of the food…read moreexcellent really tasty and authentic vibe, enjoyed most of it as far as flavor the taste was there i enjoyed but for $38 dollars plus on the lomo salteado and i get literally 5/6 small pieces of meat? i failed to see the value here, i mean for a one and done experience i could give it 4 stars, but as a return customer i failed or felt unsatisfied. prob wont try anything else on the menu at this place, really wanted to love it.
