    Bistec Empanizado Ceviche de Pescado
    Stefany M.

    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
    Sandra R.

    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.

    White Chicken with Rice and Beans

    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!

The steak in the Colombian breakfast was on the salty side, and the sausage was a bit too crispy for my taste, but otherwise, the food hit the spot. Would definitely come back to try more off the menu!

We were given an iPad each (to view the menu). When we asked for water they did not provide tapwater even though we asked for it and gave us a bottled water instead (that we had to pay for). After ordering the food it took approximately 30 minutes to arrive. The service was pretty slow. I ordered the carne asada with a side of frijoles since it only comes with white rice, sweet plantains and a potato. The meat itself was really hard to eat. It was very chewy and rough, not a good representation of Carne Asada. The white rice was just plain white rice. The potato had no seasoning on it, and the sweet plantains were super dry, which made them nasty and I couldn't even eat them. The beans had very little flavor or depth compared to other Colombian restaurants. There was no smoky or meat like savoriness, and it only had a very minimal hint of the usual aromatics. It also had a bit of a canned bean hint to it. Not very pleasant. Compared to other Colombian places I've had I would not come back to this place.
