I order the rachi and pancita combo, and my boyfriend ordered the pollo saltado. The pollo saltado came out incredibly quickly which can be good sometimes; however, in our case, the rest of the plates for the other five of us took another 15 minutes to come out, and we're a family that waits for everyone to have their food to eat. The pollo saltado was a very big portion, but it wasn't the best one we've had in the area - it had more of a homemade flavor rather than a restaurant one. The rachi and pancita were good but a bit burnt for my liking. If you go to Peru, the places that sell, this would serve that not as "well done" so this wasn't great in comparison. Overall, the bill came out to around $220 which to me seems a bit excessive . The service was your usual Peruvian service, so not great . We did get dessert. We got their dulce de Leche cake which was pretty flavorful. My only thing though is that Peruvian's called this manjar blanco, and not dulce de leche, so it never sits right with me when a Peruvian place call something by the name of Peruvian wouldn't call it by.

The Seafood Ceviche is by far some of the best that I've had in the area. And as for the Fried Red Snapper, it couldn't be any fresher. Also, if you're into Stews, you would definitely enjoy the Seafood Sudado it's incredible! As for the wait-staff's service it's hit or miss. The couple of other times that I have been here I had to wait for a prolonged period of time to even be handed a menu. But as for this recent visit, the wait-staff was on point! So it kind of made up for the other times that I was here and the service was lacking. All in all, this is a solid Peruvian Restaurant, with amazing food at great prices and consistent food preparation. I'll definitely will be returning from time to time to indulge myself in some of this fine Peruvian cuisine, and you should too! So, definitely check out Santa Barbara Peruvian Restaurant next time you're in the mood for some Ceviche.

I recently visited a small Peruvian restaurant located inside a shopping mall, which made parking…read morevery convenient. The space itself is cozy but well-organized, and we were able to get seated right away without any wait. The decor is inviting, and the music added a nice touch to the overall atmosphere. One thing I personally didn't care for was the menu being on a tablet at the table--it felt less straightforward than a traditional menu, especially when it came to understanding pricing. For our meal, I ordered the lomo saltado and substituted the usual white rice for chaufa. We also ordered salchipapa, tallarín verde with grilled chicken, and three sodas. Presentation-wise, all the dishes were beautifully plated, which definitely made a strong first impression. The tallarín verde was the standout of the meal--flavorful, well-balanced, and served in a just-right portion. The lomo saltado itself was good, but the chaufa rice was noticeably salty and ended up overpowering the rest of the dish. The salchipapa, on the other hand, was a bit disappointing. It was mostly French fries with only a small amount of sausage and very light on sauce. Where the experience really fell short was the billing. The prices displayed on the tablet did not match what we were ultimately charged. We were billed extra for grilled chicken and sirloin steak in the lomo saltado, even though no alternatives or pricing differences were clearly explained when ordering. The only additional charge that was communicated upfront was the substitution for chaufa rice. Transparency in pricing is important, and it was frustrating to see unexpected charges added at the end. For three entrées and three sodas, the total came out to around $100, including an automatic 18% gratuity. While the food had some highlights, the lack of clear pricing and unexpected charges--combined with a menu system I didn't find user-friendly--left a negative impression. Overall, while the ambiance and some dishes were enjoyable, the billing experience makes me hesitant to return.

We ordered: yuca frita with huancaina sauce, ceviche, 4 sabores, patasca, crema volteada, tres leches. Price was affordable $100 for all that food, in this area is difficult to find but I feel it was a "hit or miss" kinda place: the patasca and ceviche were awesome.. meanwhile the rest was BLAH Will I come here again? The answer sadly is NO. They need to hire a REAL PERUVIAN CHEF which is not who cooked my food, I can tell. Sadly, hire another cook.

5 Stars - Authentic Peruvian Flavor Done Right!…read more Somos de Peru in Paterson is a true hidden gem for Peruvian cuisine! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed with warm hospitality and the amazing aroma of authentic dishes being cooked to perfection. The Lomo Saltado is absolutely delicious--tender, flavorful beef sautéed with onions, tomatoes, and just the right amount of seasoning. The Arroz Chaufa is another standout, packed with bold flavors and perfectly cooked rice that pairs so well with everything. And you have to try the Chicha Morada--refreshing, just the right amount of sweetness, and the perfect complement to the meal. Everything here is high quality, full of authentic flavor, and made with care. If you're looking for real Peruvian food that hits the spot, this is the place to go!

Now, let's move on to the mediocre-to-bad aspects; honestly, the food was pretty average, as was the service. There were only two people attending to all the tables.

The *chicha morada* came from a packet, and the *chaufa* looked like leftover rice loaded with ginger and soy sauce. I'd rate the rest of the food a 7 out of 10.
