I had the pleasure of dining here twice, once for lunch and once for dinner. Both times the food was delish and we were very happy. I had the pollo salteado both times. The rice was good as were the fries that come with the dish. The sauce was good! Hubs had the ceviche mixto and my son had the chaufan rice. Everyone was very happy with their meal and customer service was on point. read more

MACA Peruvian Restaurant - Peruvian Near Me - Rego Park, New York

Roach infested dining spot. I came in and as I was mid way through my meal, a roach was crawling on my table. I immediately got up, let the manager know and left. They need to clean or sanitize the place, because it is disgusting to have roaches crawling next to you plate. Este lugar es sucio, hoy fui por primera ves, y mientras estaba en medio de la comida se me apareció un cucaracha en la mesa! Viva y adando, alrededor de mi comida. Que Asco!!!! Por favor fumiguen y limpien bien este local. Les dejare saber a muchos que es sucio! read more

MACA is a solid play. Affordable, absolutely delicious and nice service. The location is a bit inconvenient for parking, but worth the hassle. Suggestion: leave the car at home and grab an Uber to this local gem. Great Peruvian food. read more

I have visited this restaurant several times, but both the last fatal visits, the picarones was always the best, this last time to ask for some mayonnaise with olives, they charged $ 5 which was very ridiculous, and the service lacks a paisa q He goes to the gym recently and as his tip was not left, he threw the moments down the floor, very careful to be taken care of by this individual and to go to this place where the taste and quality are out of the question he visitado varias veces este restaurant, pero las dos los ultimas visitas fatales , los picarones siempre era lo mejor , esta ultima vez por pedir un poco de mayonesa con aceitunas , cobraron $5 lo cual fue muy ridiculo , y el servicio falta de un paisa q va al gim recien y como no se le dejo su propina , salio tirando las momedas por el piso , mucho cuidado con ser atentidos por este individuo y de ir a este lugar donde ya el sabor y calidad estan fuera de serie read more

Love it, we had a good experience. Great customer service, fast, cordial, amicable. Pedro, our waiter is very knowledgable on Peruvian dishes; and does his best to provide us a great experience. This is our second time here and planning to come back again. Also, the owner was behind the bar cleaning and organizing. He did not stop doing things. The restaurant is clean. We only have good things to say about this restaurant so far. On Saturdays they have Karaoke nights, really fun! Their Ají de gallina, empanadas de pollo y carne, tallarines a la huancaina con carne and causa are to die for. You gotta try them! read more

This is the best Peruvian food I've ever had. Their green sauce is SPICY and it's amazing! We usually order an entire pint of green sauce whenever we stop by here. I put that shit on everything - burgers, sandwiches, leftovers, everything. I'm surprised pio pio is still in business when they're just 3 doors down. Maca beats pio pio hands down! read more

Considering that this is the second day operating I will give the place 3 . Parking is an issue because its on a major boulevard, I like the fact that you can walk in and feel that there is space to enjoy your meal not like in the neighboring Pio Pio which is a shoe box. Ok so a ceviche mixto a half a chicken a small jalea an avocado salad french fries and chorros ala chalaca( mussels topped off with a corn relish). The ceviche was good, the chicken needed salt but it was juicy, the jalea was good because it was not greasy, fries are fries, chorros I've had better.. Ricoto hot sauce was nicer than your fake peruvian hot sauces that alot of people attempt to claim fame on. Considering they are at grand opening status I'm sure that they will be doing well very soon once they find their rhythm I've eaten at a lot of peruvian places many good and bad have faith people... read more

NEVER AGAIN ! We came in maybe 20 mins before they closed the kitchen. The waitress was rushing us to order something before we even looked at the menu. So we quickly picked something out and they took about 10 mins to bring the food out.... I asked for lomo salteado the meat was cold, the rice tasted like it was burnt and it was hard AF, the sauce they mixed the meat with tasted like shit. So yeah NEVER AGAIN read more

I am wondering if maca is stealing its customers since it was empty ! I'm for sure returning here read more

MACA Peruvian Restaurant - Litttt - Peruvian Near Me - Rego Park, New York

Good local Peruvian food. The MACA pollo is very good. Online delivery through Yelp is not possible so have to call to order.

Service was stupendous, the food was just Okay. The prices were fair for the area but not necessarily for the food. We love Peruvian food and have dined at many places. With that being said, we know what to expect, more or less. We ordered the Chicken Combo and substituted the regular rice with the Chaufa rice. The Chicken was a bit dry, which was a shame since that's what we looked forward to the most! The Shrimp Chaufa was really good, so good that we ordered a second Chaufa, ate half there and took the rest to-go. We also had their Sangria, which I highly recommend! Other than that, the Tostones (Green plantains) and Salchipapas were slightly smaller in portion than expected, but tasted good. At the end, we tried to use the Free Dessert offer vía Yelp. But unfortunately they said the Desserts that they would "honor" were all sold out and refused to give us any other dessert in its place. That's one thing that really turned us off. I was willing to pay for the price difference, if any, but the manager said No when the waiter tried asking him. I ended up ordering a Flan for us and paying for it full price myself. All in all, our experience was just Okay. read more

ahh first off because we were so hungry we inhaled everything and I didn't even think to take a pic. We ordered in due to dining restrictions. We got the MACA 4 (served family style with rotisserie chicken, avocado salad, fried rice, Maduros &&& tons and tons of green sauce)! It was so yummy! We stumbled across this by accident because pio pio wouldn't deliver to us! But boy am I glad, it was cheaper and it was delish! I enjoyed every bite! We will definitely order again. Also delivery was quick! read more

The Lomo Salgado here is so delicious I've finished the whole plate the two times I've been here!! The tenderness of the steak is perfect and even the fries with the green "hot" sauce is amazing. This is true comfort food material. The sangrias here are so good too; try the white sangria for sure. I took out one star because one of the waitresses here that i had wasn't attentive at all. When I went in today the male waiter was really nice and made sure I was doing okay. Wish i caught his name! read more

This is my second time at Maca and I'm convinced this is some of the best if not the best Peruvian restaurant. My husband is Peruvian so we always try and eat at the Peruvian restaurants when we travel and this time we were in NYC we made another trip to Queens just to eat here! We loved every bite. The anticuchos were tender and so flavorful. The Lomo Saltado was also tender and amazing! The empanadas were so rich but not heavy. Honestly this is the best salsa verde I've ever had! So happy we found this place. Another 5star meal at Maca! read more

This review is for take out order. Was in the area and after taking my parents to their doc appointment we were a little hungry. So we decided to stop here and order to go. Would've loved to stay in. My dad ordered their seafood ceviche and a soup . My dad loved it. I ordered their jalea. It's ( fried seafood and fish) $20. The small order. It was delicious! Also ordered a side of their yucca fries. Didn't know that the jalea came with a side of it until I got home. The guy at the counter should've told me! Smh! But other than that I'd definitely come by next time and tryout the drinks. read more

Unfortunately MACA did not hit the spot for my partner and my peruvian craving. We wanted a nice juicy pollo a la brasa with all the sides. We ordered MACA 4 ($34 whole chicken, tostones, avacado salad, salchipapa, and chaufa). We substituted maduros for tostones since we prefer maduros. The green sauce with fried corn is the first thing that came out. Green sauce (aji verde) is one of our favorite parts of eating peruvian. Unfortunately MACA's aji verde tasted like it had an entire packet of top ramen seasoning poured into it. On to the food that we actually ordered. The Maduros were not maduros, they were somewhere in between maduros and tostones. They had the taste and texture of what would happen if you try to prepare tostones (green plantains) as you would maduros. Not good. The chicken was small and lacked that succulent flavor that is so iconic with pollo a la brasa. The Avocado salad was ok, but the dressing was not to our tastes. The salchipapa came in a wrapped paper cone (like a hipster restaurant), unfortunately this had the side effect of making the fries soggy. Finally, the chaufa was the WORST part of the meal. It tasted like frozen vegetables stir fried with boxed (or instant) rice with soy sauce seasoning. I would not recommend MACA. read more

Very disappointed in the customer service. Small problem that after waiting more than 30 minutes they served all of the appetizers at the same time as the main courses. After telling the server and owner that this was bad and then seeing that it was very upsetting as we could not enjoy all the items, they offered nothing to apologize except a "I'm sorry". Not a easy hey a drink or dessert is on us, or anything of substance. Not to mention they even charged extra for the little chacitas that were always given for free. They did remove it from the bill after that little issue was pointed out. It's unfortunate as their food is good but this is not the first time the service was less than acceptable. I understand mistakes are made but you should do the right thing to show that you are truly sorry. A simple $6 ice cream on them would have gone a long way. The lack of good customer service will now cost them a customer and possibly others. read more

So my wife & I live just blocks from MACA, but have never been. Our friends have been bugging us forever to go..telling us it's not to be missed. Let me state...the food ( or what we were served)...a solid 8/9...but the experience......no more than a 5. So when we walked in..we were greeted cordially..seated right away...were given menus...etc...everything was fine. Within a few minutes, the waitress came back for our order...2 sangrias....empanadas and cerviche for appetizers, and chicken and maduras for main course. The sangria was delicious...heavy on the alcohol..and we all ready decided, we'd have a second, as soon as we tasted how good it was. Then the empanadas came..one beef. one cheese. the beef one was honestly one of the finest empanadas I had ever had, and the smokey sauce that accompanied....just divine. Then came the cerviche. YUMMY. Incredibly fresh fish....some wonderful citrus...and some yummy corn at the bottom. This was turning into an amazing dinner. But then it all STOPPED....... No one came immediately to clean our plates off the table.... no one came by to see if we wanted to refill our empty sangria glasses ( and we wanted more)..and no one seemed to be in any hurry to check on our chicken and maduras. After 5, 10 minutes...possibly longer...I was getting annoyed, and the waitress caught on. She came over to see what was wrong. Long story short..our madiras had been sitting on the counter for over 10 min..and the chicken was never ever ordered. At this point..we looked at the waitress...told her we had no interest in the chicken anymore...but perhaps we'd finish with 2 more sangrias. Well guess what happened.....nothing. Like I said...they were done serving us for the night. No sangria came...so 5 min later..we asked for a check. The waitress THEN decided to ask us...." are you sure you dont want the chicken ? " But never asked us about the second sangria, that she never served. Not sure I will ever go back...and not sure I can even reccommend this placeto others...but it's a real shame...cause it was one of the most promising starts to a meal that I have had in a long time...I just don't think I have the patience to be ignored again read more

chicken is WAYYY too salty . Like they soaked it in a bath of salt . Otherwise decent restaurant. read more

Great place. The flavors are amazing, I love getting the steak here with both the cheese sauce and the green sauce but I'm leaning more toward the green sauce. They give you a lot of noodles with the steak so the entire meal is very filling, I usually split it so I can eat their tasty empanadas. The ceviche is pretty good but they give you a sizable amount. The price is pretty good for the quality and amount you're getting. read more

I write this with a very heavy heart...... I went to MACA this past week by myself. Everything came out perfect as requested and the food was actually very good, which is why I'm so saddened to write this review..... When it was time to clear the table, the waiter cleared the empty dishes and placed them in the trolley under the window where the food comes out. This is where things get DISGUSTING.......... The ramekin of the green sauce that is automatically placed on the table with the corn (they place this upon seating) was placed on the COUNTER TO BE REUSED FOR ANOTHER TABLE!!!!!!!!!! Now, originally this may not appear to be a BIG DEAL, however because I was dining alone, i used the spoon that comes with the sauce and placed it in my MOUTH!! I called the waiter over and TOLD him that I had that spoon in my mouth. He told me 'oh don't worry, we throw that away....' When he proceeded to discard all the sauces on the counter, the other gentleman behind the counter said something to him in Spanish, where the waiter responded and THEY BOTH LOOKED AT ME. I don't wish to get anyone fired or in trouble. I didn't cause a scene. I paid my bill and left, however this has been bothering me all weekend.... and I simply CAN NOT let this be ignored. We are living in a world of diseases... Infectious mononucleosis aka MONO, HEPATITIS B, INFLUENZA, VIRAL MENINGITIS are amongst a few that are spread by SALIVA....... Let me continue to say.... the last one, VIRAL MENINGITIS -YOU CAN ACTUALLY DIE FROM!!!!!! I know this because a friend DIED from this several years ago...... THIS IS THAT SERIOUS!!!!!!!! What i witnessed is beyond SHOCKING.... It's DISTURBING.... It is simply NOT OKAY to reuse ANYTHING that has been served to a table!! Under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES...... I understand they are a small restaurant and they are attempting to conserve on costs, however this cannot be done at the expense of people trust. As a person that frequents restaurants weekly, I do this with the comfort that they are practicing appropriate hygiene for their guests. I don't wish for MACA to close, however, I hope this review gives them the WAKE UP CALL.... to NEVER, EVER do this again. read more

MACA Peruvian Restaurant - Karaoke night! Leggoo!! - Peruvian Near Me - Rego Park, New York

Some good Peruvian food, don't waste your time at Wanka. Maca's food is well seasoned the steak is delicious. Always looking for good Peruvian food an epic quest as a Peruvian. Appetizers: Papa ala Huncaina - solid, not the bright yellow I am used to but great flavor a little spicy but I love spice! Tamale de Puerco - amazing I love tamales peruanos And these are good but I have had better the pork was a bit too fatty for me. Entrees: Tallarines Ala Huncaina- great extremely cheesy almost resembles Mac and cheese again not exactly what I am used to but still a banger. Arroz Chaufa de pollo- Well seasoned and well portioned. Lomo Saltado-perfectly cooked and seasoned this was great ! Side notes : the wait for our food was around 35-40 minutes, and even though my mother happily ate the Tallarines ala huancaina she ordered Tallarines verdes. Would still come back though. Service - 4 out of 5 Food- 4.5 out of 5 Not great for parking, but again would come back again. read more
