    a plate of food on a table

    I only come here for their rotisserie chicken and it is pretty good. Meat is moist and juicy not dry like most places. The fries are decent.

    Last Saturday night, I dined here with my husband, our kids and his parents. They are Peruvian and we all wanted to try this place out after hearing rave reviews from family. We ordered 2 papas rellenas, 3 Peruvian Place Jaleas, 1/2 pollo a la brasa, 1 parihuela, 1 bottle of Inca kola and to go, 1 arroz chaufa de mariscos. Weird thing, the papa rellena came with white rice. We have never seen this before. Anyway, the flavor was good though. The parihuela had too much salt. The jalea is fried so not much flavor there, but the batter was good and had a nice crunch to it. We didn't end up eating the arroz chaufa until the following day but it was fine, just a bit salty. The prices on our receipt ended up being more than on menu. For example, the papa rellena was listed as $6 on the menu, but came up at $8 on the hand written receipt. This is what sketches me out when restaurants use handwritten receipts. They can basically do taxes all "under the table". Nowhere did it state "Menu prices are subject to change without notice". The Peruvian Place Jalea was listed as $20.99 on the menu but turned out being $23 on the receipt. This is ridiculous they don't put a disclaimer. I wonder if they even report taxes... The pollo a la brasa is baked. It was too wet which made it lack flavor. Although, the chicken was a decent size. I wish it came with the typical sauces as it does at Machu Picchu chicken location in Somerville. All the adults got sick. We narrowed it down to the ceviche which came with the jalea. Thank goodness our kids had the pollo a la brasa. TMI, but we all had the runs later on. It really sucked. The ceviche probably wasn't cooked/marinated long enough. Ceviche is tricky when dining out. This incident makes me never want to order it outside anymore. The service is a bit slow as there is only 1 woman manning the register/phone and serving tables. You can tell it is probably a family run business trying to get up on their feet. Oh, the place is also difficult to locate. The address is 55 City Hall Plaza but you end up in some medical building parking lot or the apartment complex next door. We called them and they said we could park in the apartment complex parking lot and walk through the lawn to the front entrance. When we got out, there was a car blocking us in. My husband had to go back into the restaurant to ask them to move the car. A woman came out and said he took her parking spot. How are we supposed to know this when they originally told us to park there? We usually go to Julianna's or Los Andes in Rhode Island. We have never gotten sick from either of those places. We will travel a little further instead of this place next time. This was worth a try but sorry, we will not be returning. My husband read somewhere, I believe on their Facebook, somebody told The Peruvian Place to "stay humble". With these unannounced price increases, I don't think they plan to do so. Good luck.

    Not the right way to cut the fish, corn overcook. sauce was awfull. Don't tell a peruvian how is a tiradito if you are not even one.

    Bad attention, bad food, so slow! The place is not nice, not a nice area either. I am peruvian so I know how ceviche and tiradito are!!! I was so disappointed. My tiradito awful! The corn was overcook, the sweet potato too, the big chunks of fish wasn't the right way of how tiradito look and the sauce either. So, I complained, after almost 30 min of waiting they didn't do anything about it!! I talked to the owner and she was very rude, treating and she didn't do anything about it. I will never come back again, I was so pissed of!!! How can she knows like a tiradito is if she isn't peruvian!!! And the name is the peruvian place?? Wtf!! The chicken is all right but nothing wow, she charge you for mayo and spicy sauce. Everything is fried, not much recomended
