Myrna Peruvian is a solid spot with good portion sizes and a menu worth exploring. I ordered the mariscos fried rice and the fish ceviche. The ceviche was good overall, fresh and enjoyable, but a few bites were noticeably too salty. The corn was a nice touch and added some balance to the dish. The fried rice was decent but leaned a little bland and could've used more spice or depth to really stand out. Overall, I'd come back and try other dishes. There's enough here to make it worth another visit. read more

The main thing that requires improvement is the food plating. They serve extremely too much per plate and it's mostly filler, if your meal comes with rice or fries or any other type of filler it get piled on then main ingredient (shrimp, steak, chicken) garnishes that on top. The second thing is preparation. The seasoning is not well balanced. You either get bland or salty. This establishment has great potential if they focus on the above. Service was good, BYOT (bring your own translator) waitress was attentive, friendly and menu knowledgeable. Ambiance is of Peruvian Pride. The music is kept at a comfortable volume to allow for conversation. Seating is limited and no outdoor dining option. Hopefully improvements are made so they can serve up some delicious Peruvian cuisine. Myrna's will remain on the radar. No Yummy Tummy yet. read more

This review is only for breakfast available on the weekend. The place is small with beautiful artwork. The portions are good sizes. But the meat in the chicharon was way too big. Which meant the meat did not have flavor. My husband said his tamal was ok. I did see some people having lunch. The portions were big but I can't comment on the flavor. The service was quick. read more

DISCLAIMER: This one reflects the food, as I picked up a pretty big order to eat at a get-together. So I walked in to pick up the order. We ordered the traditional staples of Peruvian Cuisine - a chaufa mixto (I believe that came with beef, eggs and chicken), lomo saltado, papas with their special traditional yellow sauce. My buddy ordered a steak as well and more fries on the side. I have to say, the ambiance of the place is colorful, and it's big enough to eat in there as they had about 5 tables that could seat 4 and 1 that could seat 6. They also have a big screen TV and men's and women's bathroom. They also have a very colorful setting, as I got Amazonian vibes from the restaurant and I was digging it. It felt like somewhat of a departure of the typical Peruvian red and white colors you may see in other other establishments. The restaurant while may look small from the outside it really isn't a hole in the wall. The service was good, as the cashier person let me know to wait as the big order wasn't quite ready. When it was ready less than 5 minutes later, I paid by card and she let me know there will be the merchant service fee. No problem! They packaged everything up nicely and I went to the get-together. We. Ate. Everything! Everything tasted top notch. Everything was also piping hot. My buddy enjoyed his steak, the Lomo was cooked perfectly, the papas were delicious and the chaufa needs to be an American staple it was that good. The cuisine lived up to its reputation and I can't recommend them enough. I left our friend's house stuffed. Long story short: Myrna's is where it's at, please treat yourself to this place! read more

4 stars for the service and homey interior. 0 stars for the food... I heard so much about Peruvian food I had to try it. So this was my first and last time trying Peruvian cuisine. I ordered the lomo saltado mixto with chicken & beef & potatoes. I thought there would be more pizazz or something unique to the dish since it was 19$. First off, the 'potatoes' were french fries (I could've gone to McDonald's if I wanted potatoes but only for 2$ instead of 19$) that was soggy and oily. Second off: the beef/chicken was dry and tough. The flavor was unspectacular & didn't cover the fact that the protein was tasteless and rough. And yes, the portions are huge since half the plate was white rice! read more

4 stars for the food. 0 stars for the lady that runs the place which is something that stops me from ordering or eating here. It's unfortunate because the food is actually really good. They also close the kitchen an hour before they're listed as closed and won't accept orders. read more

The only thing I liked about the place was the waitress, she was so kind. Rather than that wow!! Where do I start..... two weeks ago I visited this same restaurant, but the Kearny location and my family and I were thrilled. We decided to go to the North Arlington location this time, because why not and the food was awful we had chaufa rice that tasted like soy sauce that's it soy sauce. Old seafood in the jalea , I almost choked on a calamari they were so hard and chewy. Forget about the lomo saltado. There was mini, tiny pieces of meat literally nothing. So sad and disrespectful for a $20 dollar plate. It's embarrassing, why open another location if you're not going to offer the same food quality? read more

Tasty Great food, the restaurant decor inside is definitely colorful and native to previous art. I recommend the arroz chaufa with chicken or steak or both. The little green sauce is everything with that dish.. fair prices too. read more

I waited 30 minutes for my food and finally just left very hungry. They were serving people who arrived 5 minutes after I ordered.

New local Peruvian spot that is comin in HOT found it on Google, not so much poppin here on Yelp about it (YET) but when we walked in on a Friday at 5pm, it was already packed! We waited a good 10 minutes & began to realize that you had to know some Spanish hahaa, luckily...soy listo para practicar! The space is beautiful, quite a large dining area & lovely hand painted tables & chairs & walls of Peruvian scenery from Parque del Amor, to the Andes & the jungle. I loved looking at their decor! We got a table & noticed all around us were massive portions, which is the usual but I loveeee the idea of family style & sharing plates. So we got a mild mixto ceviche which was so0o limey, fresh & tender! And then, a jalea personal! WOWIES! So0o golden, toasty & diverse: calamar, shrimp, mussels, fish, kelp or seaweed, yuca & a crabby CRAB!! And lastly, the chaufa especial which has beef, chicken & shrimp-- so0o undeniably tasty. The beef could've been slightly more tender, but I was just transported back to Peru! Even after notifying the waitress about requesting the check, it felt like they were ignoring us because we waited perhaps another 10 minutes for it that I flagged another waitress asking for it again, but she didn't get it made us wait a little longer... no one came around, so I asked for a to-go box but that also took a while until I decided to just get up & walk to where they were at the cashier & motioned the check & a caja. Finally did we actually get things moving! I was told they just opened 1.5 months ago & look at how successful they've gotten! I highly recommend just keep in mind the wait with some patience! read more

Loved this place!! Food was amazing and great service. I will come again!! Definitely read more

Some new options in North Arlington and I have to say while the place isn't very big you dont feel crowded. I'm no expert in Peruvian food but what I just had was absolutely delicious. Had the mixed seafood chaufa and a spicy mixed seafood ceviche (in my opinion one of the best tasting and tender ceviche I've had) I will def be back to try some other menu options. Saw one table with a mixed fried seafood platter which looks right up my alley and will be on the try list. FYI hours are somewhat limited towards the dinner side but if you get in before 8pm it seems like u won't be turned away. They are open for breakfast and lunch as well. read more

If you're hungry and you're looking for authentic Peruvian food, head over there. The food is delicious. We had ceviche, chauffa and fish soup. The picture of the fish soup really doesn't do it justice. The service was timely and super friendly. We had to return during the week because during the weekend, the place was filled up already. We were lucky to get a table. read more

Liked takeout food. Good Peruvian food. Parking is limited. Small lit in back. Good location. Friendly service. Good prices.

Went here on a whim and really enjoyed the food and service. We got the chicken and beef with fried rice, sweet plantains, and chicken empanadas. The sauces and corn nuts were a nice touch, too! This gringa left there full and happy! (Next time, we will have to try the red corn drink.) read more

Horrible. Food gave my partner and I food poisoning. Tamales were disgusting. We had some for dinner last Friday and they were rotten. It had a foul smell. I wouldn't go back. Service was horrible as well. read more

Food is delicious! I ordered arroz chaufa and ceviche and my hubby and I were extremely satisfied with the food taste and portions. The service is great, we had Jackeline taking care of us and we were really taken care of. She was nice, patient and helpful when recommending dishes. I will def go back again. read more

The food was bland. The service was extremely slow. The ambience was old and out of date. To top it off when I decided to take some of the leftovers home, they wanted to charge us a dollar per container to take the food. 3 That is $3.00 for three clear thin flimsy plastic dessert containers. Bypass this restaurant at all cost. I saw a barbecue restaurant in the same strip mall, try the barbecue place. It looks much better than this. We should've gone to the barbecue place. read more

Bad service. Called. Picked up phone bud didn't bother answering. Walked to place, showed woman was on hold for about 15 mins. Her answer. Oh well. Someone in kitchen must've picked it up. read more

Came here with my Peru born parents and they absolutely loved it. I did as well! Food was absolutely delicious! The portions are huge and the staff was super friendly. Growing up with Peruvian Food, I can say the flavors are authentic. Everything was delicious and it's BYOB! Glad I now have a good Peruvian place close by. read more

Food was delicious!! Real authentic Peruvian dishes. I had the Cuatro Sabores Personal meal, which was too much for me to finish, and is only sold on the weekends. The interior wall design was hand painted to make you feel like you're walking through a rainforest. Looks amazing. The seats have a nice cushion so you can sit comfortably and enjoy your meal. Shows that the owners put a lot of thought, love, and care into their restaurant. Thank you Jacky for making the experience very personable and enjoyable. I highly recommend. read more

They initially got our order wrong... they brought us the wrong dish then gave the wrong dish to another table for free. I got the fried fish with yellow sauce but the sauce was actually orange... tasted fine though. Can't really say if be excited about going back. read more

Seeing people "on the fence" looking like they were contemplating leaving when we arrived at 6:30 on a Saturday night SHOULD have been a red flag, but went in anyway as a party of three because pictures and reviews here were so enticing, and were seated. After being there for 15 minutes without so much as one visit from either of the three waitresses who were moving at a snail's pace to keep up with about 30 people at the other 9 tables, we left... No "I'm sorry, I will be with you shortly" or even dropping a bowl with that free Peruvian corn appetizer. Blank stares from across the room from the waitress who sat us as we packed up our stuff and left like she was resigned to the fact we were leaving and couldn't care less. Before making that decision to leave, observed others who looked like they were impatiently waiting and/or questioning their order. It'll be a long time before attempting to go back with hopes they get their (you know what) together. IF that ever happens, that 15 minutes of patience will be cut to 5 before exiting. (1-star minimum can be applied to the cute interior, ignoring the many scattered crumbs and food particles no one cared to sweep up.) read more

Went for lunch. Good tasty food and generous portions. We ordered lomo saltado and Jalea (really crispy). The desserts looked good but we were too stuffed to try one. Next time, and I think there will definitely be a next time. read more

We called to order food,but there was no one there that spoke English. VERY unprofessional for a restaurant not to have anyone to handle it.I will not be ordering from this place again. read more

Not going to lie, we went here by accident. It turned into a great accident. The food is GREAT!!! The fish was fresh, the pork was tender and the portions are HUGE! Our waitress Jacquelina didn't let the language barrier stop her from making sure our meal was comfortable. The decor is bright, simple and colorful. An excellent place for the family. I strongly recommend the mixed fish soup ( two can easily eat it) and the ceviche is to die for. read more

The food was awesome, customer service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was nice. Definitely recommend.

God awful. I wish I could give 0 stars. Tasteless food. Our staple, ceviche, wasn't even fresh and cooked right. Ordered 100 dollars worth of food and was put to the trash. This place has to be a front. Go to Paterson or Passaic for authentic Peruvian food. read more

i love Peruvian food but this food has no real Peruvian flavor. chaufa was not fresh and want to emphasize not true to Peruvian flavor

Food is fantastic, fresh and nicely seasoned. I'm not too familiar with Peruvian food but everything was delicious. I tried some if my friends fried rice, so tasty. I got the skirt steak and it was amazing, maybe slightly salty but not overwhelmingly. They brought a dish of spicy sauce which was not too fiery but had a great flavor. Service is great, we actually stayed a bit past closing but they didn't tell us or try to rush us out. The interior is brightly painted with carved and painted chairs and painted tables. Next time will have to get there a little earlier and save room for dessert. This is an easy recommendation. read more
