    Shrimp shell. It was in the bottom of the salad. Contaminated the whole dish
    Elena B.

    We ordered a whole chicken combo for delivery that came with the avocado salad, fries and rice and beans, the salad had a left over shrimp shell that probably either someone ate while preparing the salad or it was on the container and no one checked if it was clean. Absolutely disgusting, it looked like a tomato at first and then we saw the legs and immediately put it down. We couldn't even eat the rest of our meal.

    Whole chicken
    Norman J.

    I have passed by this particular restaurant on numerous occasions. And yesterday I decided to go inside to place an order. The decor of the restaurant was decent, the place wasn't a big restaurant. But they had seating in the back .I ordered a whole chicken with rice and beans, plantains a salad, and a few Peruvian green and white sauces. The chicken was seasoned just right ,beans and rice was on point, salad and plantains as well was tasty. The cashier was nice and courteous, and the prices weren't to high.

    Does that look like half a chicken?

    UPDATE: My Co-Worker was nice enough to share his meal with me and the bottom line of the food. Not great. The chicken itself was dry, Sweet Plantains were dry, no green sauce to compliment it. I am sadly disappointed in this place. Will not be coming back to this location. It's upsetting when a company orders lunch from this establishment. You would get what you ordered. 4 orders of the half chicken combo... with missing thighs? Who DOES THAT!? Missing green sauce... and one of order was completely crushed ... I have to throw my lunch out mainly cause half of it was in the plastic bag. It could easily be the delivery service...but, losing an entire thigh!? from 4 orders!? I know I'm ranting. But, this was poorly executed.

    Chaufa de Carne

    I wish I could have given a 5 star review but the one item ordered was underwhelming to say the least. I ordered a beef fried rice referred to as "chaufa de carne". I've included a photo and my iPhone makes all food look good. However, this fried rice included a sub par meat that was similar to chewing gum. Additionally, it only included clumps of white rice, salty taste of soy sauce, scallions, and scrambled egg. It was missing vegetables and flavor. I make this dish better myself and I'm not Peruvian. Even the green sauce didn't help. I won't be ordering from here again. By the way this one plate of rice was $18. Not worth it.

    Our total bill, very affordable

    Was on a double date with my girlfriend and friends on a Sunday night, roughly around 10 p.m, and we had such a difficult time finding a place to eat. Our first and back-up choices had closed, and we'd given up until we found this place on the monocle feature of the app. The shop is small and is very easy to miss. The front is very narrow and leads to maybe 4-5 tables with seating in the back. The space is bit tight but warn and comfortable. The staff is very friendly. Although most for he waitresses and cooks only speak Spanish, the language barrier is very manageable. They're very attentive and quick to take your order. They offered complimentary wine while waited and later when we were waiting for the bill. As for the food, it was all really good too. Two of us ordered the 1/2 chicken combo special with a side of avocado. The rice and beans were nothing special, and the plantains were not as sweet as I hoped they would be. The highlight of that dish was the chicken. The chicken was plentiful. It was savory and not dry. Our friend ordered the rice chaufa, and she loved it. She loved how much beef was put into the dish and loved the simplicity of it. Finally, our other friend was unsure of what to get, so he played it safe got a chicken cutlet with rice and fries. He had no complaints at all. This place is a gem, especially for late nights! Be on the look out for more gems in Jamaica, Queens.

    The food is amazing here, but staffs attitudes are not so pleasant. I definitely do not feel welcomed whenever I order here in person.

    The pescado ceviche was great but a lot of attention to details and improvements needed for the Bib…read moreGourmand status to maintain. We are local, our 1st time trying this restaurant. We tried because of the Michelin guide recommendation. Ceviche with 2 plantain chips for $29, who are kidding? walked in and there was no host to attend us, we waited for a bit, I had to walk up to the kitchen and they said to take a seat of preference. We chose the bar, they said the bar setting table was not stable so we had to sit down inside the restaurant while it will still sunny out (it's summer in NYC, so obviously lightning is key). Then, we ordered the chicken combo of 1/2 with rice & beans which is only to-go service and they didn't have but their menu listed. The ceviche took about an hour to arrive which is the only appetizer and 2 beers we ordered, while the restaurant wasn't even full & then we landed up ordering 1more beer while still awaiting the ceviche. Then came the check- they said their system was down so no cards & only Zelle or Venmo- which we Zelle them the $ and then the owner went to verify in the back if they received after she took my phone to double check the amount. I'm sorry but not sorry, we have travelled 60 countries together for 12+ years and this is not the experience we expected from Bib Gourmand / Michelin FALSE Guide! I hope you can take notes from this comment and make improvements to thrive because this is NYC & the options are infinite!

    We stopped in for an early Saturday dinner and were surprised to find the place completely empty…read more It felt like a hidden gem, especially given its years of Michelin recommendations. We shared the ceviche mixto, arroz con mariscos, and a dulce de leche dessert with tulle and cookies. The appetizer and entrée were excellent; the ceviche mixto was incredibly fresh, and the seafood in the arroz was perfectly cooked, with rice that was well-seasoned and flavorful. Unfortunately, the ice cream in the dessert was grainy, as if it had been sitting too long. This could have easily been a five-star experience. I wouldn't have held the dessert against them, but the service fell short. When we arrived, the server was on her phone and minimally attentive. Communication was a bit difficult, especially when asking about desserts which weren't on the menu. We had moved a candle from another table because it was so dark, and although she noticed, she didn't offer assistance. After dropping off our food, she didn't check on us at all and remained up front on her phone. She did inform us ahead of time that the credit card machine wasn't working, so payment would need to be cash or Zelle, which was fine. However, when we paid in cash, she didn't return with change, we had to ask for it, and she then disappeared to the back to retrieve it. The whole process was awkward. That said, the entrée was so good that I'd consider coming back to try more dishes...hopefully with better service next time.
