Was excited to see the reviews for this Peruvian place on yelp!…read more It was pretty packed on a late Saturday afternoon around 4pm. While I wanted to try the ceviche and a few dishes, I could not dine in so got a Lomo Saltado to go. Unfortunately, the beef was a bit tough which let the dish down. Others seem to be enjoying Chaufa (fried rice) and some noodles family style which I think is the way to do it here.

(Dined 09/17/2025 WE @ 6:30pm): I'm ready to savor a little taste of Peru!…read more In my quest to explore the various cuisine scenes and things to do throughout Jersey City and specifically the Heights, my friend and I met some friends of hers as we dined at Sabor A Peru. I've passed this place on several occasions over the course of four years since my friend moved here, and my attention was always caught by the plush llama in the front window. Plus, this was going to be my first Peruvian cuisine experience in Jersey City. Was the sabor a Peru to my liking!? PURCHASE(S) Corn Kernel Snack (COMP): A seasoned crunchy snack when we first sat down, these were enjoyable and my first time ever having them! Ceviche De Camarones ($19.50): A tidy shrimp ceviche appetizer for all to try, the medium shrimp (8 pieces) were plump and tender in a citrusy juice, with an assortment of carrot, lettuce, red onion, and white beans, this was a nice way to start our respective meals. Pollo A Lo Pobre ($20.95): Translated to "poor man's chicken", this truly hearty entree came with a large grilled lightly seasoned tender piece of chicken, two runny sunny-side up eggs, a heaping cup of puffy steamed white rice, a bed of crisp golden fries, and several pieces of sweet plantains. I loved this dish and it happily filled me up! Side Salad (INCLUDED): A nice simple palate cleanser, it didn't come with any dressing, so it was a bit "dry". 8pc Alfajores Minis Box ($8.00): A nice dessert that was shared among the four of us, these crumbly somewhat powdery sandwich cookies of sorts with a dulce de leche filling simply dissolved in your mouth while the powdered sugar marked you as a potential cocaine user. Credit Card Fee 3.50% ($1.7): This was just the direction businesses were going to pass along expenses... SERVICE We made reservations and were quickly seated at a window seat once we all arrived. Our friendly young hostess gave us glasses of water, menus, and a rundown of the evening's specials. Minutes later, we collectively placed our orders, she provided a tasty corn snack, and about ten minutes later, everything came out in a procession. We were checked on regularly even though the place got busier, and once it was time for the check, we settled that with no issues. Plus, because they didn't sell alcohol, they allowed diners to bring their own booze... which we did! Everything and everyone was friendly and nice - salud! PARKING (FREE; N/A this instance): This was a moot point since we walked the flat 10-minute distance. No parking lots in sight, there seemed to be plenty of spots along the main drag of Central Ave. and all surrounding side streets - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A clean modern elongated floorplan with a backyard coffee shop modern museum feel and multiple tables that lined the walls, I was hoping for a more authentic feel. A decent amount of natural lighting filtered through the front glass doors and windows while an assortment of electric recessed and twinkle ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were a few muted TV monitors while soft music played in the background. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Sabor A Peru was a pleasurable evening out with friends, and I was impressed enough to try more of their menu. I felt they were a good representation of Peruvian cuisine, the food was yummy and flavorful, the prices were comparable, the service was efficient and friendly, and again you were allowed to bring your own alcohol without any fees. Plus, I always preferred to support small mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $53.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

Ordered: 4pc Half Chicken Combo (~$18): with garden rice…read moreBeef Lomo Saltado (~$21): with white rice Fried Sweet Bananas (~$7) Aya's take: If you're looking for a fairly quick meal with a lot of flavor, Kikiriki will do the job. It's not the best Peruvian in the area and honestly deserves a 3.5/5 but I'm rounding to a 4 for the review. The 4pc Half Chicken Combo is a decent deal for the price point. The chicken is moist, well-seasoned, and pretty tasty. The garden rice isn't authentic as far as I know; every Peruvian spot will offer some form of rice & beans but unfortunately that's not an option here. They also serve this with an orange spicy sauce (aji amarillo) which was spicy, tangy, and a bit smoky. I'm surprised it doesn't come with the classic green sauce most Peruvian chicken places offer. I would also love if the Combo came with 2 half sides. Instead, I ordered Fried Sweet Bananas which were delicious but overly greasy and drenched in oil to the point where it was leaking out of 2 bags. The Beef Lomo Soltado is savory, tangy, and slightly smoky. The beef was pretty tender but the fries were so soggy. I almost wish they serve it separately for delivery so it can maintain some crispiness. The white rice pairs well with this since it soaked up all the delicious flavor from the beef, tomatoes, and onions. Not the best in the area but decent try!

The seasoning was just right, and the crispy skin added the perfect touch. The side of fries and rice complemented the chicken beautifully, making for a well-balanced and satisfying meal. Everything was cooked to perfection, and I can't wait to order again. Only downside is when ordering takeout is there is really no where to park and it is a very tight street. Best option is to parking with your hazards on and have someone run in for you. Highly recommend!

Super soft to eat, sauce wasn't over bearing on the fries, onions, and tomatoes. And the white rice helps buffer. If you want a great lomo Saltado, go here. If you want the best, then elsewhere. I will admit the people were friendly even with my broken Spanish and the inside felt warm and nice to eat in. Could be cleaner but definitely not dirty. The one Asian lady I saw threw me off with how fluent her Spanish was. It makes me think she grew up speaking Spanish instead of whatever Asian ethnicity she is. I will come back for other dishes for sure!

But it's a valuable sentiment, like tonight when my intended destination closed at least 3 hours before its stated time, and then I pivoted to Sol Chicken. I'm certainly curious about the ceviche but figured I should go for the namesake poultry. The half chicken had exemplary skin, and when you're on the more mellow interior sections, that's when the green sauce gets to work. I also enjoyed the sopa a la criolla.
