Tumi Peruvian Restaurant - Peruvian Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

I hate to say this, because I'm Peruvian, but this was probably the worst pollo à la Brasa I've ever had in my life. Zero flavor and I'm pretty sure it was already cooked hours before and was reheated when I went to pick up. Unfortunately, I've had many good experiences here but today was just not it. The sauces were weird too? Green sauce isn't even green anymore and the other one not sure what happened there. Hopefully it was just an off day!!! read more

Food was average with decent size portions; however, adding automatic 18% gratuities without notifying customers beforehand is a deceptive business practice. Service was poor. We were the only ones there besides another couple, and the waitress spent more time staring at her phone than doing her job. Shame on the owners of this establishment for circumventing NJ's minimum fair wage law for servers by adding a "mandatory" gratuity. Instead of paying your workers a fair wage you force the customer to pay 18% in addition to your inflated menu prices. The customer gets lousy service and your "servers" don't even have an incentive to try harder, which was very evident when we were there. Luckily there are other good Peruvian restaurants in the area who will get my business that don't do this deceptive practice and have servers who are happy to work there and get tipped well. I sure won't be going back to Tumi, and wouldn't recommend Tumi's to anyone. read more

Service was slow, they forgot about my table's food until I asked them about my tables food they didn't bring it out. The ambiance was fine but it was thrown off by how forgetful the server was, several tables got their food first even though we got there like 10 minutes before they did, and they finished their food before ours even arrived, I would not recommend unless your ok with semi warm fries and rude servers. read more

Food is mediocre. Ambiance nothing fancy. Street parking may be a challenge. The chaufa shrimp was different due to the teriyaki flavor on them. Red snapper fried had no flavor. Gratuities are included in the check so avoid double tipping. We will not be returning. read more

Hello, I've being going to this restaurant for years and it has never failed me ever, until now I went with my family since we haven't went a long time the waitress was having a bad attitude she would put an annoying face when we would ask her stuff the food took forever, the place is nothing special it's nice but nothing to fancy, my advice for parking is to be careful it can come a caos. The food was one of my main issues the chicken wasn't well cooked and the fries were all soggy, they would give us leftover drink they had. Overall I don't have a great experience at all, truly I wouldn't recommend but I'm just here sharing !! read more

Ceviche muy bueno y el chicharrón de pescado excelente, la crema huancaina estaba rica

If you want shareable and left over size meals this if your place! Prices are a bit pricey but you def get what you pay for. We had the shrimp ceviche delicious! The special chaufa delicious! The roasted chicken juicy tender and flavorful! There is a parking lot but depending if they have a party in their hall it can get pack. The main dining area is a bit small but that doesn't stop me from coming here. I would highly recommend this place you won't be disappointed. read more

Ordering was a little iffy, if you don't understand the different types of Peruvian cuisine like rice . They have regular cooked rice or fried rice and most main plates come with either fried potatoes and salad. You should call ahead because there usually is a line of people waiting for take out. I thought the chicken was well cooked with a taste of aromatic wood which gave it a nice taste. read more

What a joke! This place is awful! Piled with horrid smelling garbage bags. There were only 2 tables with people dining and the waiter took about about 15 mins to even say something. Waited about 35 mins for food. The food tasted very stale, as if it were reheated. The disgusting olive sauce on top of the causa was horrible, looked like pepto bismol. Overall horrible service. I used to dine at this place years ago and it was absolutely delicious. I'm not sure what happened but wow... what a big big change. The ambience was absolutely atrocious, smelly, dusty, outdated... I wouldn't eat here again, not even if everything was free... wow. Insane. read more

I ordered take out and the pick up process was easy. Took about 35 mins and the food was ready as soon as I walked through the door. I originally ordered the rotisserie chicken and fried rice. The chicken was okay, nothing really to write home about. The shrimp fried rice on the other hand is so delicious! It is not salty at all which I was worried about; you taste all the beautiful flavors of the shrimp, scallion, egg, and Peruvian spices. My order wasn't correct when I got home, instead I got yellow rice with shrimp. The staff was super cool about it and gave me another tray which I really appreciated. This also gave me the chance to try it and I honestly think I like it just as much, if not more than the fried rice. Need to mention that I didn't think that was even possible because I LOVEEEE the fried rice. The yellow rice dish comes with fresh red onion, tomatoes, and lime--when mixed with the rice it is OUT OF THIS WORLD. The flavors are absolutely amazing. For the price, I was concerned because it was a little up there but the portion size is worth it. My family has food for at least 2 more days. I will be returning here without a doubt! read more

Tumi Peruvian Restaurant - Peruvian Chicha Jarra, Arroz Chaufa Camarones, Arroz con Camarones - Peruvian Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

Easily the juiciest and most flavorful rotisserie chicken I've EVER had. The fries are freshly cut (thick) and fried to order. They've gained a customer for life!!! read more

I have always came to this restaurant with such a enthusiasm to enjoy our meals. But on our last service on Sunday was definitely not good at all. The waiter took forever to take our order on top of that. He gave us leftovers of the chicha morada... he could've told us since the beginning that there was no more and we would of changed our drinks. And honestly, I don't think it's right for the restaurant automatically added the tip to the bill because honestly, the tipping should be how you receive service. My family and I were not happy that we had to give someone $48 a tip and in not received their service that we should've received. read more

First of all, I wish I can give 0 stars but unfortunately I can't. Sucks!! Let me Start by saying it if wasn't all the many mistakes on orders, missed items or the nasty attitudes from their staff that got me to write a review it was how big of a scammers they are. Make sure you ask prices before placing an order or you will be overcharged for even take out!! I placed an order and then realized I was overcharged so I contacted them for them To tell me that their prices were increased over night, cmon! It's funny how they think we are gullible like that ... I placed the same order on previous week and the prices were increased tremendously and then some, I was never able to get a real answer on the charges on my bill . I reported them to the BBB, hopefully they learn their lesson. NEVER EVER GOING BACK THERE. PS ... double check your bill before u pay dining or take out. read more

Just had one of their waiters call my dad back with a really rude attitude. Apparently my dad called ahead for 2 orders of PICARONES. Once they got there, another waitress attended them where my father communicated to her, he already ordered on the phone but would like to have his order to Dine in. They had their order at the restaurant and left. Then he gets home and I pick up his phone since its ringing, only to talk to a rude man, telling me: why my dad didn't communicate to staff to cancel the phone order. then he proceeded to ask me what he will do with the cold order of PICARONES? This fool of a worker should understand that's something you take care of internally. With this, I caution you of the back handed "nice" customer service here at TUMI. Not to mention their catering for upstairs parties is also a waste of money and time. Pick another Peruvian restaurant, or watch a YouTube video and make it yourself !! read more

Ok la señora en el front desk necesita un trago o unas vacaciones! Y los meseros necesitan practicar su fake smile,i was about to left a 1 star review but i try the pollo and salchiyuca and it was delicious,we are from virginia and Maryland so we don't know that we need to order from the table,i'm sorry maybe next time ask first "table or togo?" Is her work ask and not my work guess. Edit: to be clear, we did not call ahead to order. We came in, ordered food, and we were never asked if it was for here or to go. We didnt know we had to specify, we cant read minds. After we paid, we asked if we can sit, and the lady at the front made it seem like it was a huge hassle to change everything. This was our first time there. read more

I Really enjoyed our food my husband and me in this place where the food is delicious and the service very profesional and friendly; the prices are good , the place is clean and for family reunions , They have a parking space for clients. Definitely we coming back soon..!! read more

If you order online and pick up or in the restaurant, ALWAYS check the order before you leave!! A few weeks back I was given the wrong thing before the woman caught the mistake and changed it. Today, not so lucky. Once I got home, order was wrong of course! Threw it out! They used to be much better. read more

Well i came all the way from atlantic city to visit my cousin we went to eat at Tumi but i have to say it wasnt good at all.. First of all we ordered anticuchos which came within minutes .. Now if u aware anticuchos takes time to make so they already had it made so i guess they just warm it up still taste was awful. I ordered bisteck a lo pobre and the meat had no salt at all there was no taste to it. Im sorry but i would not come back to this place. When i come back to visit family read more

Has delicious food but RIDICULOUS guide lines for deliveries. My address is closer to them than some addresses in Elizabeth but the only delivery in Elizabeth. It should be a radius and they will see how close they are to THEIR CUSTOMERS! I prefer a place that works with me. read more

I truly wish I lived closer so I could eat here daily due to being that good. I wish I could comment on the other food here but the chauffa is the only dish I've eaten here, and quite frankly I could eat this for every meal. The staff was beyond pleasant and service was phenomenal. Thanks for a wonderful experience. read more

Tumi Peruvian Restaurant - Arroz Chaufa Mixto - Peruvian Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

Bigger than it looks! I came in for lunch with some girlfriends and it is much more spacious, even with an upstairs, than it looks from the outside. We had sopa a la minuta de pollo, fried fish fillet, lomo Saltado, and mixed arroz chaufa. Portion sizes are big, so come hungry! Service was great for our pace as we were looking to have conversation and spend time with each other. Parking outside was easy and we had to try passionfruit shakes before we left, so, so good. I would come back for sure! read more

I liked Tumi's the rice was good and chicken it was awhile ago but I would definitely go back. I had the fish bites aswell they didnt wow me but they weren't bad either. I forget what my friends had I'll review this review once I go back. read more

So a break in my usual spa posting... a food spot in Elizabeth! GET the Mixto!!! Fried rice, egg, beef, chicken... omj!!! #lifechanging Plus their portions are huge, so you can do it for lunch multiple days. PLUS #addedbonus it heats up well, so Perfect for leftovers! There are others options of shrimp as well and you can pick all or none of the meats. Also DoorDash, UberEats deliveries so you're set on there. I would like to tell you more, but honestly, this was the only dish I got from them, lol... definitely something i would go again read more

Place is definitely not accommodating enough, always wait times and always full. And the place will have you leave smelling like food as if you were the chef, so make sure you take change of clothes because you'll definitely need it if your going somewhere else after this. Music could be better. The food is pretty good read more

Update on my recent visit; very clean restaurant. Full menu with many options, however if the food is overly salty and horrible service that you have to ask for something as simple as ice, that's not a good restaurant. I asked for the check and tried using the 10% discount but you have to pay cash... My overall experience wasn't good the only reason they got 2 stars is because their chicha morada is good. read more

We ordered the food and had it delivered .

They charge 60 cents for the tiny aji sauce and only fill the container half full. You can also buy larger containers of the aji green sauce . read more

The food here is amazing, but the customer service from the guy at the front desk is horrible. I have in counter with crappy attitude a couple times and Mother's Day pick order was the day I had enough never order again. read more

Food was not good. Omg. I was expecting so much more. I ordered the steak lomo saltado. The steak was hard & chewy. It didn't have no taste at all. read more

Their food is soo good however I highly recommend them wear hairnets gloves and masks. I've been there personally and this isn't worn by any of the employees. Also I've tried them three different times and every time I saw hair particles in my rice!! This is highly unexceptional! I'm actually afraid to eat here again. Please y'all do better especially in our neighborhood. We care too. read more

Food is good, as most peruvian places are, however the waiter had a terrible attitude when it came to explaining the menu, I asked for water, he brought me a 4oz cup with ice, when they do have regular glasses, the whole point of waiters is to assist the patrons, no patrons, no business, even so the food is good I WILL NOT BE COMING BACK TO THIS PLACE because the costumer service ruins the experience , GO SOMEWHERE ELSE read more

Their food doesn't justify how rude and unprofessionally this restaurant is run. Nobody seems to know what's going on . Nobody seems to care. I don't either. There are myriad and much better places nearby. Avoid. Their food is too salty and mediocre anyway. read more

Could have been better. Service was very slow at lunch and the place was almost empty. I ordered a shrimp dish and although the portion size was great, the flavor was just not there..Could find better elsewhere read more

Tumi Peruvian Restaurant - garlic shrimp - Peruvian Near Me - Elizabeth, New Jersey

This is the kind of place where you have to decide if the good food is worth the horrible customer service. Every employee I've encountered has been very rude and dismissive. The food here is not cheap.. as much as they charge you would think they could afford to at least be polite. Good food tho, I aint gon lie. read more

Where to start on this place!! Let me start by saying I went here Saturday night after noches de Colombia was to crowded to wait. As I enter this restaurant it was fairly empty maybe like 8 people dining. Me and my girl was seated and then the waiting game started. I asked for 2 glass of ice my cup was passed around to another person no ice for at least 15 min later. Then looked at menu I order the cau cau nope they didn't had any more of it so I got the lomo with papa rellena and pork chop with rice and tostones. The food was ok I had better in other places that was my dish now the pork chops where hard as shit!! The waiters must of the night kept despairing. When done with my meal I asked for some tres leche nope all out I just asked for my bill and off we went. Nope won't be coming back nor tell my friends bout this place. read more

Fatty Chicharron, dried chicken, unfriendly waiter, overcharged for lousy food. Never again

The rotisserie chicken was cold and clearly seemed to be sitting around waiting for someone for a long time, it was also way under cooked, Soggy fries, yucca fries were under cooked also. Pricey. Check a different place, trust. read more

The food use to be great, but my last experience wasn't. I ordered chicken fried rice and my chicken was over cooked. I also ordered a whole chicken and it was dry as well. The woman who checked me out wanted to charge me extra to use my credit card where I don't see any signs listed for any surcharge, so I took my card back a scrapped up the cash. For the prices that they charge for all of that food I was only allowed 3 little cups of sauce and then for more she wanted .75 cents additional. I was so disappointed I grabbed the bag and left and I won't be back. Usually I deal with the owner or his son, but this time the 2 women in the front only care about charging you as much as they can. read more

Amount of food is good, but nothing else. Seco de carne, do not order. Papa a la huancaina has no taste. Get peruvian cookers read more

The food was delicious! The steak and chicken w/egg dishes were out of this world! The steak sauce that they have create is simply delicious! It's not as spicy as A-1. That's because I can't eat spicy!!!! However, yes the steak sauce was great! The Chinese rice with seafood in it makes you not want the Chinese rice that regular Chinese restaurant make. The Linguine was superb! It's a turn on pasta that you will love! Give them a chance you will not be sorr read more
