Apple Maps takes your to the parking lot when you type in their address.

I only got a takeout aluminum bowl of oxtail and plantains ($12) The servers speak both English and Spanish which is convenient. The vibes of the place is very casual (aka not fancy dinner nor aesthetic looking) Make sure to call ahead of time to ensure they're open cuz my friends and I went there the first time and they shut down early.

I knew the flavor of the food was going to be excellent, and mom was very impressed and happy..lol I was happy she enjoyed the food a lot. Now, while we waited for the food, the waitress brought us Peruvian toasted corn that was really delicious in taste. I ordered the Ceviche and another dish with the Steak. The Steak, I requested it half order as I thought it could be too big, but not, I should had ordered the complete Steak dish, it was delicious. Everything is delicious, Fish or Steak, is only great and greater flavors. I love how I can try food from different countries, with their original and unique flavors and seasonings without having to fly out of the US. This absolutely, a must have.

Even though Aromas is "across the street from Cooper's," it might as well be a different world. Not…read morequite downtown, not quite Pine Brook, selecting this location is either an indication of confidence or foolhardiness. Overall, I don't think that confidence is misplaced. Aromas serves excellent Peruvian food, my primary compliment being for the large ceviches made to order. My first complaint is that the restaurant space is an assault on the senses. The relatively small main room/bar has an outrageous assortment of lights, including two strands of blinking lights as well as two TVs, contrasting decor, a chirping smoke detector, and music that sounded like it was clashing with different music being played in the main dining room. I'm close to a 0/10 for ambiance here. The second, more mainstream complaint is that the prices are high, maybe even outlandishly high for Scranton. The portions are large but this was the first time in my adult life that I ever winced at a menu in Scranton. What was supposed to be a moderate lunch for two ended up being a $100+ extravaganza that would have been difficult to finish in a dinner seating. Other thing was that two of the fried mussels in my entree had cracked shells--would have liked to see more quality control for such an expensive dish. Otherwise it was good. Overall, this is a unique restaurant serving basically everything in splittable portions and I look forward to returning. (Yes, this lot containing one of the last remaining preserved "Scranton Horses" almost convinced me to give an extra star.)

It's no surprise that their rotisserie chicken has been labeled "the best in the Poconos." All dishes are made from scratch and reasonably priced. Menu Highlights~ Tender, roasted pork with yellow rice and beans is a cultural staple that is a popular item. Fried pork chops, grilled tilapia, and stew chicken are available in combo meals that include rice, beans, salad, and drinks. The traditional soup known as Sancocho is so good you need to taste it My favorite is some kind of steak sitting in just a brown sauce made in a miracle of seasoning, served over whit rice. You'll be in heaven eating this dish

We stopped here for lunch on a drive from Massachusetts to Ohio. There is both street parking and a…read moreparking lot. The restaurant is huge with a large bar and seating upstairs and downstairs. We ordered the half roasted chicken with French fries and a salad, combination fried rice, and Garlic Chicken. The chicken was cooked perfectly and came with delicious dipping sauces. The salad dressing was also very tasty! The fried rice was fantastic!! It was moist and had a delicious combination of spices. The sauce on the Garlic Chicken was also really good, and the dish was made with big pieces of moist chicken. While we elected not to have desserts, their flan and Dulce de leche cake looked delicious!

The chicken fried rice could've used a bit more sauce in my opinion but the naan was surprisingly really good. I ended up getting their tres leches cake and not gonna lie,,, it was not that good.

This is my kid's favorite 'fancy' place, so if it's not hibachi, we're here often; but don't let that fool your tastebuds. Quite possibly the best calamari this area has to offer (more than just breaded and fried, it's a nice shareable dish with roasted plum tomatoes, spinach, shaved parmesan, balsamic reduction and optional garlic aioli) and dare-I-say the ICONIC Orange Cognac salad. We did the Italian four course chef's dinner in February and rented an igloo for a friend's daughter's birthday earlier in the month. Both meals were excellent and we were able to order a variety of things to try since the chef's dinner offered some of their staple cocktails to pair, and the kiddos are adventurous in their food journey as well. Oh, great and friendly service as well; you can really settle in and get comfy here!

We asked what kind of soup they had he was clearly annoyed and very short in his response. After ordering we sat to wait. The man went to talk to two waitresses and all three looked at us and laughed. After waiting for a while I went to him and asked how long before the soup will be ready he looked at me and shrugged his shoulders and said I don't know. We got up and left. We've heard some people around there had the same experience with rudeness. And that the food isn't good either. I'll make sure I let everyone I know never go there. Very unprofessional.
