I decided to grab some food from Pacha in Mineola and placed a pickup order. I went with the Pollo…read moreSaltado, and it did not disappoint! Comes with wok seared chicken, onions, tomatoes, cilantro, and white rice with fries and the green salsa wow ! The pickup process was quick and easy, and the portion was a good size. I've had Peruvian food before, so I already knew what I was looking for, and this definitely hit the spot. I'll have to come back and try some of their other dishes next time because there are a few things on the menu that caught my eye.

So I ordered food from this restaurant (first time). I ordered pollo ala brasa with fries and…read morechaufa rice, I received this really old dry chicken with hairs on it! The size of the chicken is literally the half of my hand (insane) I spent almost 30 dollars (uber eats had a special deal buy one get the same food for free) I asked them if i can get extra sauce which I got 1 for each dish. This is really ridiculous how people lied on their costumers promised them the best food and instead delivering old chicken with hairs on it ( unbelievable and disgusting). Chicken is not PROPERLY CLEAN HAIRS AND FEATHERS STILL ON THE CHICKEN AND THE SIZE IS UNREAL! Dry,small and not clean properly this is not real pollo ala brasa.

I will say that I was initially a bit turned off by my experience here. We were visiting family in…read moreeastern LI and on the way back home, stopped to visit my parents in East Meadow. I wanted to bring my parents some food, but not "fast food". We love Peruvian as it's the closest comfort food we've ever had that is just like home cooking and I know my parents would love it. I found this restaurant online, and the reviews were promising. I ordered on their website and set the pick up time. The payment went through on my end because I received a notification immediately upon paying. When we arrived to the restaurant, I was unsure where to enter. I accidentally entered the dine in restaurant section. They seem to have multiple spaces; a nicer restaurant with dim lighting, neon lights and a lively ambience, a more casual dining area that was empty this particular night, and then a bar section for drinks and takeout. One of the employees walked me over to the pick up area near the bar, and I let them know I placed my order. The woman looks confused and fetched the owner/manager. They claimed my payment never went through. I told them that 100% it did go through as I received a message saying such. They asked for proof of payment. I showed them my online bank account, showing the payment pending. The transaction was made through *their* specific payment set up on the restaurant's website. At this point I began to get irritated. I asked them if my food was ready because I ordered ahead for the main purpose of having the food ready by the time I arrived. They seem to still believe that maybe the payment did not go through and reluctantly began preparing my order. They could definitely sense that I was getting upset and my patients was running thin. They also obviously did not have my food ready so I ended up having to wait longer than anticipated. I had my husband come in with our kid, ordered some shots and a couple drinks. They were nice enough to comp us a couple drinks to make up for the inconvenience. Their natural juices do taste very good. I tried their passion fruit. I got my parents a rotisserie chicken and chaufa. I also tried both and they were great. I ordered myself a tamale but left it out all night and had to throw it away. I'm still pissed about that. They get 3 stars because the food and drinks were good, and they made up for their mistake, but I'm still a bit annoyed at their janky payment system. They're conveniently close to my parents' house so I'll probably try them again but maybe stop by in person and order take out while enjoying a drink at the bar.

I stopped by here for lunch after shopping at nearby newly opened Ross, one of my favorite stores!…read moreThe interior was elegant and spacious, as well as decorated for the holidays. There was a classy and welcoming feel to the place. Upon being seated, there were complimentary corn nuts with a savory green sauce. These were tasty and addicting, with a satisfying crunch. For my drink, I wanted to try the Purple Corn beverage. The waiter brought me Purple Corn and Passionfruit juices, recommending that I mix them together. I sampled them separately at first, and loved the taste of both. The Purple Corn was delicate and sweet, while the Passionfruit was citrusy and refreshing. I wasn't sure I would them as much together, but it turned out to be a delightful blend. I ordered the Steak with Sausage, along with sides of Tostones, Salad, Rice, and Moro. The Steak had lovely grill marks, was wonderfully tender and well seasoned. The Sausage was juicy and also bursting with flavor. Tostones were perfectly crispy, thin, and oh so flavorful. Some of the best I have tasted! Salad was a nice and colorful mix of corn, purple onion, tomatoes, avocados, bringing a fresh element to the dish. White rice was fluffy and cooked well. The Moro I did not care for, because I found it to be bland. Service was excellent. The waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I enjoyed my meal here and would return if in the area to try one of the Seafood dishes.

They have happy hour Monday through Friday from 5 to 8 and each day they rotate a different drink special. Beer and wine are also included in the $6 specials which is actually a pretty good deal. I went on a Wednesday so the featured drink was the pisco sour and it was delicious. The bartender put a cute little topping/design on the foam which made it feel a little more elevated and not just a basic happy hour drink. It was not overly crowded but there were still a decent amount of people there so it had a nice energy without feeling too loud or packed. A couple of my family members ended up coming too and it worked out well for just sitting, talking, and having drinks after work. Overall definitely a good spot for happy hour if you want something more relaxed with good drinks and a nice atmosphere.

It was so hot and I couldn't wait to eat it because it looks so yummy. It was truly delicious. I will definitely be coming back
