Pros - Food and drinks are both good, though not sure how authentic Peruvian they are. Cons - Definitely pricey. Service is terrible sometimes so get 2 or 3 drinks at once or wait 20 mins in between them. read more

I'll give it a 2 star for the sangria, 'cause the Leche de Tigre was terrible, the Jalea was too small!

TERRIBLE SERVICE!! We waited 45 minutes for an appetizer. Waitress never asked us how we were doing, we had to request things several times and there were times she would walk away, perhaps not hearing over the obnoxious music!! Then they got the appetizer order wrong. People who came and ordered after us got food first. El Picante dish tasted so bland....which really messes with my head since picante means spicy. At the very least be spicy! And overpriced out the a$$$$$!! TL;DR Waitresses sucked and got orders wrong, no organization to the service, and food was not good or worth price AVOID AVOID AVOID ‼‼‼ read more

I have to say, that I wasn't impressed with this place!. The service was horrendous, the prices for what it is were extremely high. And the preparation of food lacked big time. No flavor at all. I was disappointed on my visit, and so was my son on a subsequent visit. I for one, in all honesty can not recommend this place. read more

Ceviche was bland and had no lime. Ceviche should at least be decent in a Peruvian restaurant. If you come here don't get the ceviche. Fried calamari wasn't fresh. SAD read more

Being American-Peruvian I am biased and hard on Peruvian Style Restaurants. Ambiance is good growing up in a Peruvian household you know what is presented about the Peruvian people. Basic overall Staple of Sterotyping a Style of cuisine and culture. Decent food has slightly lowered in standard in the years following it's opening, More on trying to be a high class version of it's counterparts as there are many Peruvian style restaurants in the area. Drinks Overall are good alcoholic beverages are usually on the stronger side which is a plus on the prices of said drinks but leave a little to the imagination on what the drink can actually become, Inca kola basic staple, but the Chicha is missing some components (Lemon,Apple, sometimes Sugar) which are crucial to the basic drink to give it a more rich flavor. Service is alright depending also on the day or time you go can be casual wait and friendly to agitated staff and long waits (take this and heed the words "go at your own risk" ) the family owned restaurant has the mother and father there at almost all times and son is always will to help with a smile. Prices are on the High-End as it is considered "Gourmet" considering alternatives might want to read up on the area. Overall: Good Restaurant but lacking in some basic components within Peruvian Cuisine and service. read more

The food was not what I expected to be. The lomo salteado was very salty, my husband order the Arroz with mariscos (rice with seafood) the rice was mushy and over cooked. The yuca appetizer was probably the best part of our meal. But what really did it for me was the costumer service and the wait time. Out waitress was rude? Rushed us to order and then never came back to check on the table, the food was brought out by someone else after a long wait. We never got our drinks refilled, then the waitress comes to ask if we need it dessert when we were not even done with our food, still didn't bring drinks. When we were ready for dessert they didn't have any of the desserts we wanted, like the Tres leches cake or the mousse. Horrible experience, we will not go back. read more

This is more like a high end mom and pop Peruvian restaurant. Its a little on the pricier end for simple dishes but the flavor makes up for it. read more

Have been here to eat a few times and have ordered take out as well since it's not far from my parents. I typically order the lombo montado . It's a steak with egg and French fries with a brown sauce . It's pretty good and quick especially if you're in a hurry. read more

I LOVE this place. The food is amazing. The staff is friendly and attentive. Sometimes the live music is too loud. That is the only drawback to this place. Otherwise, I highly recommend it. My favs are the chaufa mixto and the pollo alabrassa. And oh, the red sangria!!! Oh the red sangria ... read more

My hubby is Peruvian and is quite critical when it comes to his lomo saltado. Surprisingly, he loved it. There were no fatty pieces of meat in it and the lomo was tender and flavorful. I ordered the pollo saltado and it was DELICIOUS!!! As our appetizer, we ordered papa huancaina...sauce was good, but the potato was way undercooked (one star off) The food is a little pricier than most other peruvian restaurants we've frequented, and the portions aren't as big, but the food was good. The staff was very polite and helpful. Angela took my order and she was very helpful and sweet. Will definitely come back for more. read more

A brief review as we only had appetizers. Let's say: we left full...excellent value for the money. We both had mora (blackberry smoothie drinks), shared a large caesar salad with excellent creamy dressing, served on the side; my wife had mixto ceviche, a large portion of mussels,shrimp, calamari and more, spicy & super-fresh; I had what's basically a Peruvian version of fish & chips, lightly fried fish & yucca fries, with golf sauce (like 1,000 Island...and apologies for not remembering the name of the dish). This was a huge portion for an appetizer...so delicious. Flan and lucuma ice cream for dessert. Highly recommend this place. We sat next to a Peruvian family who had driven a couple of hours to enjoy the food...they explained because it is so traditional, the real thing and hard to find. read more

We have been here several times and everyone is on point. The food is good but the service is super slow. We haven't been back only due to the service. read more

I found this place on yelp. I'm not around this area so I was taking a chance. The parking is not bad. There's street parking and some as a public parking lot across the street. At first glance the restaurant doesn't look like much. What they lack in with the cheesy appearance, they make up with the taste of their food. They service was attentive and they spoke both English and Spanish. The drinks weren't too pricey (about average for North Jersey). Their traditional Peruvian drink was delicious. As for the food I had no complaints. The lomo saltado was one of the best I've ever had. The oysters were served warm which I think they would have been better served cold but it was also just as delicious. I had the tres leche was fresh and really good. Beware of the nights you come to visit because they do have entertainment. If you don't want a loud night, I wouldn't go on a weekend night. read more

Love this restaurant. The cooking has improved. Unfortunately, they ran out of Aji de Gallina after waiting for 20 mins. I then ordered Papa a la Huancaina but sauce was too pasty. Will never order that again. I also had Palta Rellena and it was good. Overall experience was okay. Will continue to go for my usual "Seco Norteño". read more

These guys don't mess around. Traditional Peruvian food that's absolutely delicious. Good bang for the buck.

I really feel some type of way for writing this during this "COVID-19 era" BUT this is my first time doing this. Today is July 28th Perú Independence Day so I want to assume that they were busy. I ordered 11 ceviches and it was the worst ceviche I have had. I called to informed and was put on hold and they ended up hanging up on me. So called again and was ask to hold again. I explained to the lady before putting me on hold that it was my second time calling and that I wasn't looking for money back or a free meal but instead to let them know that I ordered something that cost over $200 and it was terrible and that I feel they should know and they hang up on me again with no answer. I am a chef so ended up trying to safe the ceviche by adding more lemon, salt and some other things. I am not a picky eater or a big complainer since I know how it feels to be busy or behind the line but is also good to know when you need to improve. I really wasn't trying to get any free stuff but being in the industry It would have been nice to hear a we will do better next time or thank you and sorry. Again Sorry I am doing this o here but my voice wasn't heard and that disappointed me even more. read more

This is the best Peruvian place ever if u don't belive me try it for your self and post it here.

Food and drinks are phenomenal, authentic (I go with Peruvians). This isn't my first time here and it won't be my last. Thank you so much. The Lomo saltado, Leche de Tigre and the Anti Cucho are simply to die for! read more

My wife and I visited Oh! Calamares Last weekend on a repeated recommendation from my sister who lives in Kearny. We live about an hour and a half away but it was a nice excuse to get together and check out a new place. The food here is good although I didn't think it was exceptional in any way. The prices were a bit high and I think the large carafe of Sangria was $25 or close to it at least. The thing that was most apparent however was how noisy the place was. It was difficult to carry on normal conversation so we all had to elevate our voices to the point of discomfort. Good place, good food but very LOUD. if we lived closer, we may give it another shot but we likely won't be back. A solid 3 stars. read more

The food and service is awesome. We had the seafood soup, mixed cerviche and lomo salto. Everything was very flavorful and good portion sized, definitely worth every penny of it. read more

Great place to come on a Friday Night!! The Karaoke is so much fun. Heads up. It is a Peruvian restaurant which does Karaoke Every Friday night. So most of the singing is done in Spanish. It was great I went with my cousins and fiance last Friday. We had the time ouf our lives drinking, dancing, and singing the night away!. The food was very fresh and tasty. The only problem was that the air condition was blasting and I was sitting next to the vent. When asked to turn down they did turn it down. The drinks were alright. I highly recommend the anticuchos! They were delicious. This place is good for older and mature crowds. Not for teens. read more

First, only giving this place 2 stars because I'm Peruvian and the food was decent. Enjoyable ? Not at all!!!! We came here party of 12 and they could barely fit us. We were all jammed packed in a corner, elbow to elbow. Then the service was non existent. To put the cherry on top of that they started playing some bullshit ass music super loud that you could barely think or speak to anyone. I ordered a WATER and it took 45 mins to get it. The Food was over priced for the small portions they gave us. Not a kid friendly place at all. Oh and if you want to have a beer (yea right) $4.50 of a domestic and $6 for imported ???? Is rap especially for this hole on the wall. Please ppl SAVE your money and go else where. N this is coming from someone who loves food and has an open mind. read more

The food was much better then I expected .the Lomo de pollo was great and the picante wAs good. My rum and coke sucked but service wAs great

I guess today is karaoke night. If you don't mind the ridiculous loud music by all means come d

We always enjoy our dinner here. Authentic and tasty. Waitresses speak excellent English. Try the sangria it is excellent. Also recommend the potato appetizer. Ceviche is top notch as well. read more

Went here for Valentine's Day with my husband. We both enjoyed our meals very much. He had the steak with rice and beans but I ventured out and wanted to try something a bit more authentic to Peruvian cuisine and ordered the Tallarines verdes. The base I believe is cilantro or pesto; it was ok....wasn't AMAZING but i guess you have to have the palette for that. My pisco sour was awesome!!!!!!! Service was ok but what do you expect on a holiday. Would definitely return. read more

Went twice for lunch. Both times it was excellent. First time ordered the ceviche. It was fresh and delish. Second time had the mussels and a salad. Yumm! Its fresh & tasty. The presentation is nice and the service was really good. The dishes the others got also looked great. They seem to enjoy them as well. read more

Great food!! The choritos a la chalaca are amazing!!!!!! The food can be a little salty but over all was a great experience!!!!

Best Peruvian food in NJ that I have came across. Barely any wait time. Service is great. Start off with the ceviche Mixto and Pisco Sour. The chiveche is fresh. No fishy /gummy taste. My favorite dish is the Tacu Tacu with Lomo Saltado. ( not on the menu, but they will make it that way). The Aroz Chaufa is also really good. Both are packed with lots of flavor. My girlfriend who is Peruvian loves the Seco Norteño. The meat is so tender and juicy it falls off the bone. I am a returning customer a few times a month. I Just wish it was closer me. read more

Oh my goodness!!! I love, love, absolutely love this place!!! One of my favorite Peruvian restaurants around! The food is great! The Pisco Sours are excellent! Definitely authentic Peruvian food! Wonderful atmosphere and excellent service! read more

Food is Delish. The corn things as a snack are soooooooo good. Service was slow and restaurant wasn't even that busy. Food is great though!! read more

absolutely the most fresh seafood. savory but light. mixed sea food ceviche is a must try read more

See all

This place is amazing. Ever since the Bohemia restaurant in Bloomfield, NJ changed ownership, I was looking for a new best peruvian restaurant in my area. I'm glad I found this place. They have great dishes and you gotta try the ceviche and lomo saltado. The causa de polo is amazing too! read more

Awesome food. Service is prompt and nice ambience. I ordered the seafood crab soup everytime. It was very tasty. The fried yucca and plantain were great as a side or dessert. Fried chick, to my surprise, very tender and juicy. Will go again. read more

Recommended by my wife's Peruvian coworker and it didn't disappoint! When you see that the majority of the diner are Peruvian locals then you know it's authentic. We ordered ceviche and grilled pulp for apps and they were fresh and tasty. For the main course, we ordered jalea and arroz con mariscos. They were good, serving size were plenty. Service was attentive. We will definitely go back for our Peruvian dish cravings! read more

First time in this restaurant. Food was good. Not the BEST Peruvian I have had, but it was ok. We had the tallarín verde and the lomo saltado. Descent pisco sour. Why a 3 then? Because service was eh... Much to be desired for. They were Not rude, but considering the place was not full it should not take 20 minutes to bring us water in the very least. When we asked a different waiter (who was not busy) for water, he basically said we had to wait for our waitress. This is just an example of our experience. Our food was SUPER tardy and they served apps with the main dishes. I was left disappointed. Really did want to like this place. I wouldn't go back, would rather go to Passaic for Peruvian. Maybe we didn't have a good waitress. If you do decide to go, hope you experience better service than us. read more

The best ceviche I have ever had!!! The variety in their menu cannot be beat. Excellent choices priced just right!

Went there for valentine's day..best service ever!!! We barely waited and the hostess was so accommodating as well. Our waitress Ana was super nice when we told her that we have not had Peruvian food before ( well first time ordering alone). She told us what each dished consisted of and kept checking in on us. The place looked like a village inside but it had a romantic feel. The food was delicious ! As we were leaving the hostess greeted us good bye, the waitress and even the bartender turned around to wish us a good night! What a pleasant place ..def recommend it read more

Horrible experience, I call ahead asking for a reservation explaining the guy that I am coming from 2 hours far away. Once I get there there was at least 20 people outside , they don't have the capacity to handle all that people, the place is too small and the food was not looking so good to be worth it the other hour that I was supposed to wait so me and my family decided to try other place. I can not rate the food but definitely the service was awful. read more
