We had been to the Pio Pio location, part of a chain, in Jackson Heights, but the vibe here is entirely different. Less loud and more relaxed. Our server was good and efficient. Our group was 7 adults, but on a Saturday night, there were families with youngsters. Our orders all came as expected. The calamari came from large bodied squid. It was nicely cooked with the right tenderness. The rotisserie chicken is good and consistent. Sangria was tasty and with a nice kick to it. Overall a nice crowd pleasing meal.

Must try: Limeno Ceviche, Lomo Saltado, and Juanita's Chicken!…read more Why: Everything we had was delicious! This place hit the spot after a couple hours of pickleball. Loved the ceviche packed with flavor and textures. Lomo Saltado also hit the spot with tender and juicy filet mignon slices. Love the chicken with green sauce. We ordered a whole chicken to share but ended up only eating half of chicken so I took home the leftover with green sauce and enjoyed the next day. We washed our meal down with refreshing Peruvian beer. Note: When you walk in and pass the bar, you are met with a beautifully decorated room with high ceilings making it feel spacious. Clean restaurant with many tables for small and large parties. Hostess and waiters were all friendly, helpful, and attentive. Yes, it's more expensive but we felt the portions were fairly large. They also have a lunch combo special for $15 that I need to come back and try!

I found Kausa to be fairly similar to the other nearby Peruvian place in Hell's Kitchen - Tumi…read more Both are lively with a bright neon decor. And like Tumi, the food here is very authentic Peruvian. My friend and I had their chaufa and pollo a la brasa and we were very satisfied. The chaufa was very rich in flavor and was just as good as thw mom and pop places I've eaten at in Queens. The roast chicken was just as good, juicy and was falling off the bone. The only reason I would not rate this place higher is that the portion size is small and the prices are higher than other places. The food is top quality though.

La Pulperia offers all-you-can-drink mimosas for $40 or their brunch cocktails for $60 for a 90-minute sitting. I had the all-you-can-drink cocktails and my glass was never empty. The staff was great and very attentive - they would check in before bringing a new drink, but it was never long before it was delivered. The food was also delicious. We started with guacamole and corn & manchego empanadas. The guacamole was obviously fresh, and the empanadas were hot and cheesy. I had the Pulled Pork Tostada - it came with two eggs on top of beans, tortillas, and tender pulled pork. My mom had the burger, and it was cooked to perfection and huge. My aunt had the Market Salad with Skirt Steak, and she raved about the steak. Now the show - the show was AMAZING! The queens were engaging, and their dance moves were unreal! It was one of the best drag shows I have ever seen! It would get a 20 out of 10 if that were possible. What a great experience, it was one of the highlights of our trip.

I've been to most of the Peruvian restaurants in Hell's kitchen and I don't think Inti is at the same level as them. The dishes I ordered were not well presented, especially the aji de gallina, which I have never seen served without lettuce and olives. The yuca a la huancaina was just fried yuca and a side of huancaina sauce, which is very different from the presentation described in the menu. The ceviche was very chewy, as if it had been marinating in lime juice for a very long time. At the rate they charge for dinner, I would choose to eat somewhere else.

I like that they had Jarritos other options for Mexican soft drinks, and I really like the Peruvian stirfry rice, which comes with roasted batter chicken- the flavors were incredible. We also tried the gravy chicken, which was delicious and I will definitely be back to try the fries and sausages As well as the dessert. The portion size were large, and I was only able to eat half of my portion so I would say definitely value for money The service was very quick and the lady at the counter was really nice and helpful. She answered all our questions for us as well. I'll be back!

The decoration of this restaurant is gorgeous. It's so colorful and everywhere you looked was a photo opportunity. We ordered from the lunch special which was the way to go. There was a variety of plates to choose from. For starters, we got guacamole and esquites. Both really good. Once it got to our mains, it took a while and considering we were the only ones in the restaurant it was a long wait. For the mains, we both got chicken flautas which came with a side of rice and beans. The flautas were crispy and crunchy. The rice had big chunks of carrots which I didn't like but my friend enjoyed. The beans were also very delicious. I loved the aesthetics of the restaurant and def will be coming back to choose from their main menu. Everything looked delicious!!
