This little Peruvian gem located on Rahway is the perfect spot for enjoying authentic Peruvian dishes with family and friends. 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! read more

We had a great time. It popped up on my husband's feed and we always like to try new Peruvian restaurants. The platter was delicious. The Causa could have been a little harder but it had flavor. The portion of rice on the plate was enough to fill one of us. My meat was well seasoned and cooked. Better yet it had real potatoe fries not from a frozen bag. We can't wait to come back and bring My mom on the weekend where they make specialty plates. read more

Absolutely loved their food, everything is fresh and extremely flavorful. The decoration inside is very in touch of Peruvian culture, and is a clean environment. The lomo saltado had good meat to papas ratio. I also loved their chicha morada as a pairing as well. Great experience for a dinner! read more

Caido del Cielo - Lomo Saltado - Peruvian Near Me - Rahway, New Jersey

Craving for Peruvian cuisine? Caido del Cielo in Rahway is one of the best in town. The food was good, the service was great and the ambiance was nice. Parking is a bit challenging though and their AC was not properly working at the time of my visit (a bit uncomfortable). Among the dishes we tried are as follows: Their Anticucho is phenomenal, it's a beef grilled heart served with fried-boiled potatoes and corn. Choritos a la Chalaca was good, its mussels marinade with lime, served with red onions, tomatoes and cilantro. Lastly, the Jalea was good as well, these are deep fried seafoods (fish, crabs, mussels, etc.) served with onion salads. I will definitely go back next time to try other lists in their menu specially their ceviche. Well recommended Peruvian place! read more

Peruvian cuisine. Very good food and nice ambience. Good service, great staff. The anticucho was very good, that's my favorite dish! read more

Lots of love for this restaurant! They serve up delicious Peruvian food with generous portions. It's become one of our favorite casual, local restaurants for dinner, and we often love bringing friends or getting takeout here for group gatherings. Our usual orders include: - Ceviche de pescado - imo, the best classic ceviche dish. Good appetizer to share with a group. - Tallarin verde con bistek/pollo - creamy pesto pasta with grilled steak or chicken. Both proteins are delicious. This was also surprisingly a winner for some picky kids too. - Pescado a lo macho - fried fish topped with a creamy, yellow seafood sauce. The sauce is so good with rice too! - Arroz con mariscos - large, flavorful Peruvian-style paella filled with seafood that also comes with a small ceviche. Plus all the sides like fried yucca, plantains, beans etc. are fantastic! We've never had a bad meal here, and have loved trying all the different dishes. read more

Great Peruvian find in downtown Rahway. Went to hear some live music and found this cute little restaurant. The mixto cerviche was yummy along with the guacamole with tostones. We love tostones so of course we ordered an extra side order. Service was great and we were so happy to find some quick light food. Will definitely be back. read more

Yum!! Best food i had in Rahway NJ , had my family of 4 come in today , the service was more then fantastic, and the restaurant was soo beautiful , The food was amazing and on budget, if your looking for Peruvian food this is your spot to go ! read more

My family and I wandered into this restaurant while waiting for my daughter's theatre performance to start down the street. I had no idea what I was headed into, but it was amazing. My 12yo son tried a few new things there and absolutely loved them, and said the guac is the best he's ever had. I agree that the guac was terrific, and so was everything else I tried. I don't know anything about Peruvian food, but this place was really fantastic. The portion sizes were huge! read more

Friend recommend place. Love it!! Small like most place that serve great food. I have eaten at a couple of Peruvian restaurants and this one by far is the best . The food was all sooo good. Great family atmosphere. The service was wonderful always asking if everything was good if we need anything very friendly staff. read more

The food is so good here and they give you so much. I normally have no problem finishing my plate but this really kicked my but. The staff is friendly and very attentive. This restaurant is one of the most modern themed places. Which is rare since Peruvians like to keep it as authentic as possible but I'm glad they embraced the modern age. Give it a try, and order a pitcher of their chica morada. It's sweet and perfect. read more

Caido del Cielo - Jalea is always the best! And they added a crab? Perfect :) - Peruvian Near Me - Rahway, New Jersey

A reasonably priced menu with excellent fare is this gem in Rahway. According to the owners, they are the first restaurant in Rahway to bring the union of Peruvian food merged with Chinese/Cantonese. The place always seems busy. Their soups are outstanding. A small place yet cheerful. They also serve "desayuno". read more

Fast service and great size servings. Impressed on a Monday night all the tables were occupied. Food speaks for itself, and if you love Peruvian food you should try it out. Parking is tough, but what do you expect in Rahway. Staff was super friendly and for a speak easy restaurant the music playing in the background was delightful. read more

This became my mom's favorite Peruvian spot! I very much enjoy it as well, but she asks to come here more often than not lol! Very delicious food and amazing service. The servers always try to be very much accommodating, despite the restaurant's small space, to ensure all parties are seated and receive great service. We don't really see this often in Peruvian restaurants, but this place serves Tallarín Saltado Chifa! You often see just regular tallarín saltado at Peruvian restaurants, which usually consists of thicker noodles and a slightly different seasoning than the chaufa, whereas the noodles here are thinner, crispier, and more authentic to the Chinese restaurants back in Peru! read more

I've been here a few times already. We came here for lunch this time. The food is always really good. Be mindful that lunch service is a little slow, so if you have limited time, you might be late. Hands down, this place has the best fried chicken I have ever eaten. read more

Our new Peruvian spot! We've ordered three times and everything is so tasty and well made. I recommend the tallarín verde with bistec and the jalea, generous portions. The girls are are also very nice. Oh and the chicha is on point too! Must try it. read more

The food is great, the service, every waiter is well behaved and nice, the ambience is not bad. They have more variety of dishes than other Peruvian restaurants in the zone I think. This could be in my favorite top 3 read more

Excellent food, service and ambience! We had the Sudado De Pescado and it was fabulous! Will be back

Update- my new favorite dish is breaded chicken with their green pasta (tallarin verde). I order it once a week and it's enough food for several meals! Highly recommend! read more

Discovered this hidden gem just outside downtown Rahway. Great authentic Peruvian cuisine with generous portions and a no frills atmosphere. The restaurant gets pretty busy with dine in customers as well as to go orders so it's best to go early. Started off with the chicha morada, pleasantly spiced, not overly sweet and very refreshing. Next, was the anticuchos, or beef hearts. This was very tender and flavorful, served with fried potatoes and hominy corn (I recommend eating it with the aji verde sauce they give you on the table). For the entrees we had the tallarines verdes con bistec and Churrasco Argentino con arroz blanco y papás fritas. The pasta was surprisingly creamy with a mild pesto sauce and the meats were very tender and well seasoned. For dessert we had the combinación (arroz con leche y mazamorra). This was Peruvian style rice pudding served hot...VERY DELICIOUS!!! So good we ordered 2 more to go lol! The service here is a bit bare bones...could be the fact that they are a bit short staffed. However, this was my first time here and the servers were more than welcoming and helpful explaining the dishes. The overall environment here is a vibe...very lively and bustling as they proudly broadcast Spanish music over the airwaves. Will definitely be coming back to try the other dishes and for sure a 10/10 recommendation read more

The food was very flavorful, fresh and it was authentic Peruvian! The portions were very generous, and prices were reasonable, which is nice for a family dinner. I'm so happy we decided to try this place. We went for traditional Peruvian dishes: Choros a la Chalaca, Lomo Saltado, Jalea and a delicious papa rellena, which was not on the menu. Next time we will definitely lean towards having Chifa dishes. My only regret is that I haven't tried this place sooner. read more

We came here because we had theater tickets at the Hamiiton Stage, and this restaurant is within walking distance. The food is excellent and plentiful, the service friendly and swift, and the atmosphere cozy and cheerful. My husband had the arroz con mariscos with a small creviche, which was amazingly tasty. I had grilled fish, which was very tasty. I now know fried yucca tastes nearly like french fries, less interesting than I expected, but good. The dressing that came with the green salad was also very tasty. read more

Ordered some food for pickup. They told me 45 minutes so I got there in about 45 min. They then sais about 5 more minutes and I ended waiting a like 15 to 20 min more.. already I said to myself we're off on the wrong foot. Got the food home and it was a horror show.. ordered shrimp in garlic and the shrimp was chewy and undercooked. The shrimp came smothered in some type of tastless yellow sauce and there was no garlic in there at all. Ordered the arroz con marisco (seafood rice) and the rice had the texture and consistency of mashed potatoes all clumped together and mushy. The calamares were like chewing on rubber bands.. so gross. I spit everthing out and threw the food away in the trash.. never will return. Just go to Sabor Peruano or Hugo's both up the street if you want Peruvian.. much much better. Do yourselves a favor and skip this this place. read more

The food was delicious. Plus they give large portions.Customer service was good and the staff was very pleasant.

The food was mediocre and the service was worst.. The food took forever to come out. I ordered a beef soup that was recommended by the server. I didn't like it and didn't eat it and they still charged me for it. When I spoke to the manager about taking it off my bill she was rude about it. At least there are two other Peruvian restaurants in town. I suggest going to those spots instead read more

I had the chicken sandwich , it was absolutely delicious ... it was not dry at all and very filling ... can't wait to bring my wife here to try the dinner. love the ambiance and the place is quaint and a welcome addition to Rahway. read more

I went to this place for a special occasion. We entered and gave the young lady with long hair and glasses our name. She stated it would be 35-40 minutes. We asked for a menu to look at as we waited. We noticed a party of 3 walk in and speak to the same young lady we have our name to. She asked them to walk to the back. We continued to wait. We then noticed that they were being seated as they asked a table to get up and move to be able to accommodate a party of 3 that walked in after is as we already had waited 30 minutes. I then went up to the same young lady with long hair and glasses and asked her to by are they being seated as we were waiting for a table. And the response I got was " not to argue with you but we sit according to the tables not the people." And that how we find things here. I said thank you and left. I would never go back there because it didn't matter that 2 people who waited 30 minutes and they would sit any part that walked in after because of the size of the table. I thought that was rude and disgusting response. I wouldn't go back. I would give it zero stars but it won't allow me to post if I didn't at least give them a star.. Trash! read more

My deepest recommendation on the convinado chifa de carne. Fair amount and price for a delicious treat.

Excellent food! Took a little bit of time buy worth it, super savory and tasty. Highly recommended

Reasonable prices with large quantities! Clean and attentive service. I will definitely eat here again when I am in the mood for some delicious Peruvian food! read more
