I've driven by Pasion Peruana Restaurant many times over the years but never had the opportunity to…read morestop by. Recently I had a hankering for a Rotisserie chicken and some Maduros so I decided to make a special trip. Pasion has its own parking lot (but I wound up parking in the Dollar Tree lot next door since I went shopping there too). Pasion is not the...most elegant looking restaurant. It looks rather old and aged (I do not know what year it actually opened). It's also oddly dim inside. Most of the interior is dedicated to seating and the counter where you order is towards the back. There is a bathroom off to the side. I ordered my food from a very nice lady and it came out rather quickly. When I got home I was surprised to find the chicken cut in a rather...rustic fashion. I'm used to rotisserie chickens cut into four, equal sized pieces but this was cut up into six pieces of varying sizes. Sadly, the chicken was rather dry but the green sauce that came with it was super tasty and spicy so dipping it into the sauce helped a lot. The Maduros were...not great. They had a bit of an oily taste to them that I've never tasted in Maduros before. It wasn't very pleasant. Based on other reviews here this place seems to have its fans and that's cool. This is a mom and pop business and I believe in supporting local businesses. I'm glad I tried this place, but I likely won't be gong back.

Food was delicious We ordered ceviche, anticucho, chicha…read moremorada, leche de tigre. Ceviche is highly recommended. I have gone to a few Peruvian restaurants and all let me down when it comes to ceviche. Excellent job guys. However the anticucho when served was mostly potatoes drizzle with a drop of huancaina sauce lettuce looked withered and was pretty lukewarm. It was not sizzling hot as expected. Service was a 4 out of 5 stars due to we did not get an attentive waiter, but all in all great. I still recommend it. Maybe it was a very busy day. Thank you.

What a great Peruvian find in Elizabeth! As soon as you sit down, they bring out canchita, plantain…read morechips, and a tasty homemade spicy sauce. We started with a cold pitcher of chicha morada and some choros a la chalaca -- super fresh and loaded. We also tried the leche de tigre (fresh, citrusy, and so good), the grilled octopus with salad, the seafood trio (cocktail, seafood chaufa, and jalea), plus a whole fried snapper. Every dish was well-served, flavorful, and came out fresh. The portions are huge and perfect for sharing, and the prices are very reasonable for the amount and quality of food you get. The atmosphere is relaxed, family-friendly, and the staff was really attentive. One of the best Peruvian seafood spots I've tried in New Jersey. I'll definitely be back.

The typical dishes that make Peru a wonderful country of gastronomy. The service is stellar. The ladies are attentive and friendly. The place is rather small but cozy. The parking is off street. I also enjoy that during the week they have daily dishes that they make, I would advise to take advantage of it. For less than 15 dollars you are an entree and an appetizer, plus a beverage. Love this spot.

Visited this restaurant with my bf for Sunday lunch…read more We ordered and shared the fried whole red snapper which was huge and seasoned good. They apparently don't always have that on the menu so it was a special item for that day. We ordered salad rice and plantains for the sides . I really enjoyed the meal. The server spoke little English but it was enough to order and understand what we wanted to eat . My bf also ordered their homemade pineapple juice which was amazing and not too sweet.. The restaurant is very small but cozy with a very small parking lot . So it's suggested to park on the street around the corner from the restaurant.

The portions are generous for the price, and the juices are amazing. The atmosphere could use some improvement. The music was a bit too loud, and while I respect and support the vendors who come into the restaurant, some were very persistent; not just at our table, but others as well. It started to feel a little uncomfortable and pressured. As for service, it was a mixed experience. The staff running food and cleaning tables were excellent, very attentive and helpful. Unfortunately, our server, Michelle, was the complete opposite. She didn't come to our table until about 20 minutes after we were seated. She took our drink order but didn't bring the drinks. We ended up waiting around 30 minutes, and even after finishing our meals, we still never received one of our Sprites. She also forgot our to-go order and never checked back on us, even though we clearly needed refills and boxes. Thankfully, other staff stepped in to help. Considering there's a service fee added, the level of service we received was disappointing. I really hope that fee is shared among the entire staff, because the rest of the team was doing a great job. Overall, the food saves the experience, but the service definitely needs improvement.

If you're a fan of Hugo's, you'll absolutely love Caído de el Cielo. The décor is Soo cute, creating a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. While the restaurant doesn't have a liquor license (though you can likely bring your own), they serve a delicious chicha morada, refreshing lemonade, a variety of Peruvian sodas, and your typical American soft drinks. From the moment you walk in, the welcoming staff and excellent service set the tone for a great dining experience. The portions are generous, too! We kicked off our meal with the "Trio Causa," a traditional layered potato dish seasoned with ají amarillo and lime, filled with chicken, tuna, and seafood, topped with pickled onions. It was super yummy! For the main course, we had the Arroz Chaufa, a seafood stir-fry rice dish that stole the show. This dish is loaded with seafood- crab, large shrimp, mussels, and calamari, enough to easily share among 2-3 people. We also tried the Lomo Saltado, and wow! The sauce was incredible, and the steak was perfectly cooked and incredibly tender. Parking can be a bit tricky since it's street parking, but don't let that deter you from experiencing this wonderful place. If you love Peruvian food as much as I do, you won't want to miss it!

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience…read more We are regular customers and order food from this restaurant almost every week. We've always enjoyed the food, which is why what happened today was so surprising and upsetting. We purchased a whole chicken, and when my husband brought it home, I began cutting it to serve dinner to my children. To my surprise, several parts of the chicken were completely undercooked and raw. I have attached photos because they speak for themselves. I immediately called the restaurant and spoke with Carlos, who was very kind, professional, and understanding. He apologized and offered to replace the chicken. I truly appreciate how he handled the situation. Unfortunately, everything changed when my husband returned to the restaurant. The two employees at the front, Paola and Cara, treated him with a very unprofessional and disrespectful attitude. One of them opened the box with the replacement chicken in front of him and sarcastically asked if "this chicken was okay." The other opened the chicken we had returned and insisted that it was perfectly fine and that "this is how it's supposed to be," despite the fact that it clearly contained raw, undercooked meat. My husband felt embarrassed and uncomfortable. At that point, he no longer wanted another chicken--he simply asked for a refund and left. When I learned what had happened, I called back because, by then, the issue was no longer just about the undercooked chicken, but about the way we had been treated. I asked one of the employees for her name, and she refused to provide it. Instead, she hung up on me and told me not to come back to the restaurant. I tried calling several more times to speak with a manager, but no one answered. I finally called from my husband's phone, and Carlos answered again. He sincerely apologized and let me know the manager would be available the next day, and I plan to speak with them directly. I want to make it clear that mistakes can happen. No restaurant is perfect, and we understand that. What is unacceptable is treating loyal customers with sarcasm, disrespect, and a complete lack of empathy when they report a legitimate concern. More importantly, serving raw chicken is not just a quality issue--it is a food safety issue, especially when that food was intended to be served to children. What was even more concerning was that, instead of acknowledging the mistake, your employees questioned us and tried to convince us that the chicken was properly cooked. After being loyal customers for so long, we never expected to be treated this way. I sincerely hope management takes this matter seriously--not only because of the poor customer service, but because food safety should always be a top priority. I hope no other family has to experience what we went through today.

Overlooking the Newark Bay and the Elizabethport Marina, you'll find Don Julio Restaurant & Chifa…read moreMen Wha. Don Julio's serves as an excellent example of the diverse cuisine of Peru. Owned and operated by a Chinese family from Peru, the menu is reflective of typical Peruvian dishes, Peruvian-Chifa dishes, as well as a separate Chinese menu. Your best bet here is to order the famous Peruvian-Chifa dishes such as lomo saltado or chaufa (fried rice). They even have a Peruvian charcoal rotisserie oven for delicious pollo a la brasa. The prices here are a bit high for the area, but you're sure to get a consistently delicious meal!
