    Bistec Empanizado Ceviche de Pescado

    This place is modernized. There were good food portions. Fellow Peruvian approves of this place. I was satisfied.

    Small but nice place right on Queens Blvd. There are probably only a dozen or so tables in the restaurant. It's open for lunch as well as dinner. Dinner definitely has a more romantic vibe to the place. The food is really good here. Authentic and tastes good. Service is quick. Food came out quick and the bill isn't over the top. They deliver too which is convenient. Great place for lunch or dinner, date, or a small group. They are right on the Blvd so parking is metered or alternate side, if you can find a spot, on the side streets.

    Peruvian restaurant in Forest Hills very disappointing place. Half of chicken with rice and beans. Chicken not fresh, burnt, very dry and no flavor. Rice and beans there's no beans just a water from it. Shrimp soup no flavor and not to fresh. Service is horrible. One person in restaurant that takes phone orders and she have no time for customers who seating inside.

    Beef Empanada

    I normally go here during lunch to get my favorite Inca cola. I saw empanadas on the board and had to have one. There is only one other place where I enjoy empanadas from. I must say these were really good. This place may actually top my other favorite store. They had a good price in addition to the taste. PROS: Plenty of seating, reasonable parking in the area.

    This place is so cheap with their portions. How do you order an order of rice and half of the portion is missing? Ridiculous this place continues to disappoint. Crazy expensive and the food is mediocre. A large for $6 and they didn't even bother to fill the plate. Will not be spending my money here.

    Chicken chuafa and half chicken

    Idk why this place is three stars. I used to get the TU casa near my house back in Jamaica and the food is always consistent and great. After moving to the forest hills area I was pleasantly surprised to find one in my area that actually delivered to me. I always get the half chicken and the chicken chuafa. The green sauce is absolutely to die for and it's not badly priced considering everything. They also have a app you can download if you want to rack up points if you're into that.

    Tu Casa Combo

    Given the COVID situation, many local businesses have temporarily or permanently closed. As a New Yorker, I want to do my part and support local businesses by ordering take out once a week. Hopefully, this will all be behind us soon.  I found a small local Peruvian store called Tu Casa in Forest Hills and decided to give it a try. I ordered a Tu Casa Combo (whole chicken with salad and side of tostones), Lomo Saltado (steak, fries, and onions), and Pernil con arroz. When I got my order all packaged and sealed up, I opened it at home only to realize that they didn't give me the peril con arroz so I had to go back and get a replacement-the chuleta a la parilla  (grilled pork chop with rice and beans).  Food: The chicken was decent but the pork chop was tender. With the combination of the side salad, rice and beans, it definitely tasted like authentic home cooking. The steak was a little dried when I ate it, but the flavor was there. One thing that could be better (or maybe I just got a bad batch) was the green garlic sauce. While the "sauce" was garlicy, it was very watery instead of saucy. Maybe this is the way its made but I wish it was thicker, like a sauce. Otherwise, the food was tasty and filling, had to save the rest for tomorrow (the three order was for two people FYI) Experience: Initially, I wasn't very happy that when I got home I was missing the pernil con arroz. I tried to call them to ask, but the restaurant number was disconnected. I had to go back quickly because I didn't know when they closed (it was getting close to 8:30 pm). When I got there, I had to explain the situation to them. After some time, they realize that they were at fault because the kitchen didn't notify them that they ran out of pernil, therefore, they didn't pack it in my order. They quickly replaced my order with something else and gave me sangria and a can of soda on the house for my troubles. As I waited for the food, I saw the workers wearing masks and gloves, and thoroughly sanitize the counter surface. In the end, I was content in their service and I would definitely give them my business again.  FYI- Restaurant is open now during the city shutdown, but they stop taking orders around 9 pm to clean the kitchen as I was told (I asked since I was curious how come their phone didn't work when I called).

    Looks are decietful... the texture is ALL KINDS OF WRONG on this plate.

    This food is hardly edible much less good. How an establishment claims to be Peruvian, Dominican and Colombian and cannot cook rice or steak is beyond me. Lomo Saltado is an absolute waste of your money. DO NOT BOTHER WITH THIS PLACE. Bad oils, bad food textiles little to no taste of food.

    Rice and beans
    Shelley L.

    I came here to dine in after having a great take out experience. Celebrated my mom's birthday and we all had a great time. They are stroller-friendly, granted that you come at an earlier time to select your table. Soon after, the restaurant was packed! We couldn't believe that one waiter, I think his name is Carlos, was handling the entire restaurant. The woman at the take out desk helped as well. Operated like a smooth, well-oiled machine. Never once panicking, running and not a hair out of place as it got chaotic. Truly amazed and was so inspired that I want to apply this example to real life. Take things easy but in order, things will eventually get done. The food was delicious as ever. Came at a good pace considering there was a MASSIVE amount of take out orders and a full house. All the dishes were a generous portion and was more than enough for three adults, with plenty left to take home. Fried calamari - very good! Nicely fried but not too fried or oily. Great to share among three adults. Pernil - lovely. A variety of meat, some fatty, some lean, very tender and superb flavor without being too dry. Comes with moro rice. Bistec encebollado (steak with onions, rice and beans) - perfect. As someone who grew up with Spanish food, we love a nice bistec and this was done perfectly. Tender, thin, loads of flavor with nicely sauteed onions. Barely had to chew the meat, it was that tender. Half chicken - it was drier than the take out we had which was a bit disappointing. Nonetheless, the flavor was still on point. Add a bit of their amazing green sauce and all is right with the world again. Dining in has made me love this place even more. But I did notice the price was more expensive dining in than take out so I may stick to take out. My mom, husband and I all agree that it was good service (phenomenal job by Carlos - watching the multitasking and how the team works together in the restaurant was fascinating, probably one of the most coordinated efforts we have ever seen). We felt bad they were that busy that we decided to stack up our plates and cleared the table for them. Plenty of food for a good price. Meals for days!

L was pretty surprised that he liked the food so much. We've had Dominican food plenty of times, it's not something we eat often but since this place had great reviews, I wanted to try it; the pernil was really good here. It wasn't overly seasoned. I did throw away the excess oil from the pork, other than that, it was tender, juicy and delicious. The lil salad was a great side to the fatty meat. Will definitely return to try other items.

And I'm saying that as a Dominican with a Dominican grandfather who cooks just like this. I have NEVER been able to find a place that makes rice the way my grandpa does. Like that real, home-cooked Dominican rice that actually tastes like something. And of course I don't always want to bother him when I'm in the mood for good Dominican food... so I'm genuinely so happy I found this place. Ordering was super easy and pickup was quick. Prices are also really good for the amount of food you get. And everything I've tried has been delicious. The beans though... oh my God. I'm still thinking about the beans. For the amount of food you get for the price, it's amazing! I can't wait to keep ordering from here, and I'm honestly already thinking about placing larger orders for events in the future. If there's one local business in Queens you should support, it's this one. Hands down one of the best Dominican spots!

It's not just a treat for the eyes the atmosphere is incredibly welcoming and cozy, making it feel just like home, perfect for families. Add to that a full bar stocked with everything from cocktails to wine. Every corner of this restaurant was spot less, you can tell the staff has a great attention to detail. You've got the recipe for a truly lively and memorable dining experience. The aroma alone promised something special. Cocktails Ordered: -Tamarind -Mojito Food ordered: -Tostada de Chivo -Rabo Encendido with rice and beans -sweet plantains The Tamarind cocktail is like a little getaway in a cup. After a 15 minute walk from citi fields this drink was seriously refreshing! It hits all the right notes with a fantastic balance of sweet and tangy that just makes your taste buds sing. Normally it comes with tequila, which isn't really my thing, but a huge shoutout to the server (Jaida) for changing it to vodka. That swap made it absolutely perfect, letting the vibrant tamarind flavor truly shine without any distraction. It's definitely a must-try for anyone looking for a unique and delicious drink. The mojito from the moment it arrives, you can tell it's freshly made. The aroma of mint and lime just jumps out, instantly making your mouth water. Every sip is incredibly refreshing, bursting with that perfect balance of sweet, tart, and the vibrant kick of fresh mint. It's definitely a delicious and perfectly aromatic drink. The tostada de Chivo delivered beyond expectations. This wasn't just a starter it was an experience. Visually, it was a masterpiece a perfectly crisp, golden tostada serving as the foundation for a vibrant medley of ingredients, begging to be devoured. The sheer generosity of the toppings hinted at the rich flavors waiting to unfold. The star of the show, without a doubt, was the Chivo. Slow-cooked to an incredible tenderness, each shred of meat practically melted in my mouth, releasing a deep, savory flavor that was both earthy and subtly spiced. It had that wonderful, slightly gamey quality that makes chivo so unique, but it was incredibly clean and succulent, clearly a result of careful preparation. There was no dryness, just pure, juicy deliciousness. The Rabo Encendido is an experience not to be missed. From the moment it arrives, you cant help but be excited to uncover the depth of flavor under the lid. Paired with rice and red beans that were so rich in flavor. The oxtails, clearly slow cooked with meticulous care, present themselves as a testament to traditional cooking at its finest. The magic truly happens with that complex sauce. It's a symphony of spices and herbs, each note perfectly balanced, creating a robust and savory foundation that elevates the oxtail to new heights. Every forkful reveals meat so tender it genuinely just falls off the bone without any effort whatsoever. And then, the melt-in-your-mouth texture. It's not just tender, it's ethereal. The richness of the oxtail, infused with the intricate flavors of the sauce, creates a dish that is both comforting and incredibly luxurious. This Rabo Encendido isn't just a meal it's a truly memorable culinary journey. The Fried sweet plantains were pure joy! Each bite offers that perfect balance of caramelization and natural sweetness, with a soft, tender inside. They're a simple side that truly shines, adding a delicious, comforting warmth to our meal. Every sip and bite were a harmonious blend of fresh and savory making it an absolutely unforgettable meal that I'd happily go back for again and again.

However, I have to give Morena's a less-than-great rating due to difficulties with the service and payment. When the server came to take my order, I asked about the lunch special specified on the menu, where it's stated that all main courses are available as a lunch special at a reduced price; I had seen that online and it was a big reason I decided to stop by for lunch. The server directed us to the counter with a hot bar of selected dishes (but not all of the main courses as the menu said) and told us that ordering from there consisted of the lunch special. Fortunately, the oxtail I wanted was there anyway. When it came time to pay, I expected the check to be brought to the table but I had to get up to go to the counter. The server gave me a charge that was higher than the lunch special prices on the menu, more in line with the regular non-special price. I asked to confirm if it was the lunch price (apparently yes) and if I could see an itemized receipt before paying (apparently not). I ended up just paying because I didn't want to make a fuss, but something seems to have gone wrong. Was the menu inaccurate or outdated? Was the server not fluent in English and didn't catch what I asked? Is this something they pull on people who they assume to be from outside the area? I'm not quite sure and I don't want to assume bad intentions, but I unfortunately can't recommend this restaurant based on that spotty experience.

It tends to get packed--especially on weekend evenings--but the lively vibe (including staff-led birthday songs) adds to the charm. I note that the pricing is moderate and reasonable for the high quality and generous portion sizes, frequently allowing diners to take home leftovers.
