    Yuca con Huancaina
    Patrick C.

    We stopped into Downtown Peru in Hammonton tonight for dinner, and it was fantastic. They've only been open for 11 months, but they're truly a hidden gem that deserves to be discovered! The service was wonderful -- friendly, attentive, and eager to help. While we've all had Peruvian food before, they're happy to explain the menu if you're new to it, which makes it so approachable. We were seated and immediately treated to a dish of addictively delicious cancha (think Peruvian corn nuts, but far gentler on the teeth) to snack on while we looked over the menu. I ordered the chicha morada to drink -- a smooth, cool, and lightly spiced Peruvian beverage made from purple corn with a hint of cinnamon and cloves. It was so good, I even got one to go after dinner! For appetizers, we shared the Yuca con Huancaina -- hot, crispy fried yuca wedges served with a beautiful aji amarillo-based Huancaina sauce -- and the Ocopa, a wonderfully earthy and aromatic sauce of roasted peanuts, huacatay (Peruvian black mint), and aji amarillo poured over tender potato slices. Both were delicious, and it was our first time trying the Ocopa. For our mains, two of us ordered the Bistec a lo Pobre -- a perfectly seasoned beef steak with fries, a fried egg, sweet fried plantains, and white rice. The other ordered a half pollo a la brasa, their signature rotisserie chicken. The portions were generous, and we all had leftovers to bring home. Overall, the food was outstanding, and the service was warm and welcoming. I hope more people check this place out -- it's definitely worth the visit! ****** Esta noche cenamos en Downtown Peru en Hammonton y fue fantástico. Solo llevan abiertos 11 meses, ¡pero son una joya escondida que merece la pena descubrir! El servicio fue maravilloso: amables, atentos y con ganas de ayudar. Aunque todos hemos probado la comida peruana, están encantados de explicarte el menú si eres nuevo en ella, lo que lo hace muy accesible. Nos sentaron y de inmediato nos ofrecieron un plato de cancha (piensa en nueces de maíz peruanas, pero mucho más suave para los dientes) deliciosamente adictiva para picar mientras revisábamos la carta. Pedí la chicha morada para beber: una bebida peruana suave, fresca y ligeramente especiada hecha de maíz morado con un toque de canela y clavo. ¡Estaba tan buena que incluso pedí una para llevar después de cenar! Como aperitivos, compartimos la Yuca con Huancaína (gajos de yuca fritos, crujientes y calientes, servidos con una exquisita salsa huancaína a base de ají amarillo) y la Ocopa, una salsa maravillosamente terrosa y aromática de maní tostado, huacatay (menta negra peruana) y ají amarillo, vertida sobre tiernas rodajas de papa. Ambos estaban deliciosos, y era la primera vez que probábamos la Ocopa. De plato principal, dos de nosotros pedimos el Bistec a lo Pobre (un filete de res perfectamente sazonado con papas fritas, huevo frito, plátanos fritos dulces y arroz blanco). El otro pidió medio pollo a la brasa, su pollo rostizado estrella. Las porciones eran generosas, y todos sobramos para llevar a casa. En general, la comida estuvo excepcional y el servicio fue cálido y acogedor. Espero que más gente visite este lugar; ¡definitivamente vale la pena!

    Arroz Chaufa Con Pollo
    Eric T.

    Found this small Peruvian spot in downtown Hammonton and sampled Arroz chaufa con pollo, a marinates chicken, fried rice vegetable dish that was very flavorful and nicely presented. Had to try the Yuca fries with a spicy white sauce that was quite interesting, perfectly cooked with just the right amount of kick. The staff was pleasant and attentive, checking back several times to ensure I was enjoying the meal. The restaurant is clean and simply appointed in a tasteful way.

    Great place with very good food. Have been there about 6 times within the last 6 months. The chef owner has came out to our table almost every time we have went to see how our dinner experience was going. Prices are very fair for what you get. It's also a byob so you can bring a bottle of wine which we did last time because we had a Designated driver that night. It's a small place but very comfortable atmosphere with accommodating staff. Would love to see this place flourish because they are doing it right

    Delicious Pollo
    G M.

    Please go check out Downtown Peru Restaurant at 14 S 2nd St in Hammonton. I had no idea what I was going to order, everything on the menu sounds delicious! I had the quarter Pollo, salad, and sweet potato fries. Affordable priced, the restaurant very clean & a nice quiet, comfortable spot. https://www.downtownperurestaurant.com/menu?menuId=edf24316-321b-43e2-9355-988706592f73

    Awesome food and service. Every single item we ordered was perfectly made. You have to try the passionfruit juice too! Place was clean and well-maintained.

    Food is simple yet SO delicious! We love the crunchy corn and plantains. Hubby wished his dish had more meat but we will come back for sure!

And yes, there will be a next time. I ordered the 1/4 chicken platter that came with fries and a salad. The chicken leg was cooked perfectly. The seasonings were well balanced and delicious. Nice to find a place to get pollo à la brasa in the area. The fries were hand cut and perfectly cooked. The side salad was a nice size. I had enough fries and salad leftover for the next day. I tried some of the yucca huancain and it was good. The yucca seemed overcooked. The sauce was a little too thick. It may be because it was take out so the dish got cold. The flavors were on point but the texture not so much. The purple corn drink was so unique. I never had it before but highly recommend it!! I can't even explain it. Not super sweet and a hint of fruit. The sweet potato donuts lacked flavor but the dipping sauce helped. The flan was my favorite. It was thicker and creamier than I'm used to and really enjoyed it.

A big, inviting and spotlessly clean counter with seats and menus.

I will definitely be back and I recommend it highly to everyone to give it a try. As an added bonus, I was able to use my Spanish to order and she said I did good!

You can tell Daniel (the owner) actually cares about how everything runs. The place is clean, organized, and everything flows smoothly without feeling rushed. And Christina... she's seriously the best. Super friendly, easy to talk to, and actually helps guide you through the menu. She was on point with the specials and made great recommendations. We even got into a conversation about her trip to Peru, which was a really cool touch it felt natural, not forced, and made the whole experience better. We started with the Leche de Tigre, and it was a perfect opener, fresh, citrusy, and packed with flavor. You get that brightness from the lime with just the right kick, plus the calamari added a nice texture. We also tried one of the specials, the causa, which was light but still full of flavor and a great way to start. For the mains, we went all in. The Cowboy Steak (18 oz bone-in ribeye) was easily the highlight, cooked right, super flavorful, and paired with the huancaína risotto and that huacatay butter... yeah, that combo is no joke. We also had the pollo a la brasa (special, marinated 24 hours), and you can tell it was super juicy, well-seasoned, and done right. We also had the pasta con mariscos, and this one deserves its own mention. Homemade pasta with shrimp, calamari, and mussels in a chupe-style tomato broth rich, flavorful, and comforting without feeling too heavy. Definitely one of those dishes you keep going back to. And I'm not even exaggerating... the table bread with the butter? We were eating like it was part of the main course. That butter is ridiculously good. Dessert sealed it. The lava cake with lucuma ice cream was warm, rich, and balanced out perfectly by the ice cream. We also tried the house-made guanábana sorbet, which was light, refreshing, and the perfect way to finish after a heavy meal. The vibe is what really ties it all together. It's casual enough to hang out with friends and talk, but still nice enough for a date night or bringing family. It doesn't try too hard, and that's exactly why it works. Overall, everything just clicked: food, service, atmosphere. No weak spots. Definitely coming back. This version is clean, structured, and reads like someone who actually understands what they're talking about, not just listing food.
