Food was delicious We ordered ceviche, anticucho, chicha morada, leche de tigre. Ceviche is highly recommended. I have gone to a few Peruvian restaurants and all let me down when it comes to ceviche. Excellent job guys. However the anticucho when served was mostly potatoes drizzle with a drop of huancaina sauce lettuce looked withered and was pretty lukewarm. It was not sizzling hot as expected. Service was a 4 out of 5 stars due to we did not get an attentive waiter, but all in all great. I still recommend it. Maybe it was a very busy day. Thank you. read more

What a great Peruvian find in Elizabeth! As soon as you sit down, they bring out canchita, plantain chips, and a tasty homemade spicy sauce. We started with a cold pitcher of chicha morada and some choros a la chalaca -- super fresh and loaded. We also tried the leche de tigre (fresh, citrusy, and so good), the grilled octopus with salad, the seafood trio (cocktail, seafood chaufa, and jalea), plus a whole fried snapper. Every dish was well-served, flavorful, and came out fresh. The portions are huge and perfect for sharing, and the prices are very reasonable for the amount and quality of food you get. The atmosphere is relaxed, family-friendly, and the staff was really attentive. One of the best Peruvian seafood spots I've tried in New Jersey. I'll definitely be back. read more

Please go here!!! Food is delicious! We ordered ceviche mixto, chaufa and the Jalea. Everything was so tasty, and fresh. Portions are decent. Service is a little slow specially when it gets super packed. A GEM in Elizabeth NJ. Ambiance eh.. it's not a vibe, but I enjoyed it- they had a singer and he sang well. We had a good time. ( we devoured the ceviche before I can take a pic ) read more

Was recommended this spot and it did not disappoint! I recommend making a reservation , it gets packed quickly. There were only 2 workers so with all the people it was hard to get the waitress' attention. The spot is pretty casual, and they nicely decorated it for fall season. Parking might also be difficult in the area. Overall the food was good. Portions are big, and everything was tasty. My group ordered a few dishes: bistec a lo pobre, lomo saltado, chaufa, jalea, and ceviche Classico and we all loved it. The bistec was a little dry but the sauce made up for it. Just wished that the sauce was on top instead of soaking it up on the bottom with the fries. The only thing I needed was some beans and avocado on the side to complete the plate. read more

Amazing place! The servers arw very nice and accomodating. The Food was so good and the servings are huge. Worth it. Very nice place.

My husband and I went on a date night to this place on a Friday night and had high expectations. after seeing the pictures on Instagram, we were more than eager to finally try the food here. However, it was not all it appeared to be. It is a very small cramped place and we waited for about 20 minutes to finally be seated and 40 minutes to finally get our food, because they were understaffed and most likely only had one cook by the way the food was coming out in dribs and drabs! we couldn't really be mad because it wasn't only us who were waiting on our food to come out, but we sat patiently like everyone else. We ordered the Chaufa Mariscos and the large family style Jalea that we kept seeing on Instagram. So after finally getting our food, it was the worst!! They put imitation crab in the Chaufa followed by unclean shrimp with the shell on which were like two, cut up I think octopus but was not sure and mini tiny baby shrimp! It was the worst besides the rice tasting like it was burned!! next was the Jalea which was piled high with nothing more than cassava a couple of fried mussels, calamari, fried fish, and some more fried imitation crab, oh, and let's not forget a couple of more unclean shrimp!! The only good thing about this dish was that it was not over fried but for the $48 price tag it was ridiculous!! I can't believe they actually passed this off as a seafood dish and are proud of serving it!! oh I forgot to mention they did put what look like half of a crab that was inedible in both dishes! We were so disgusted by the rice that we did not even take it home just took the rest of the Jalea only because of the price we paid for it! Definitely not worth the wait and I've had better Peruvian food than this!! the restaurant is run by what looks like a husband and wife team with their son and are very nice people and work hard but they really need to get some help in there and a better cook! The only reason I could think of people coming back to this place is because of the prices And the food portions as they are not very high priced. Don't think we will be coming back to give them another try! Very disappointing.! read more

Small place but food and service was very good. Would definitely go back try other dishes. read more

Good service. Food is amazing delicious. Need more combination of food in one plate. Like in Peru. 7 colors

Have been there few times and never disappointed, if you need a sea food place, you should check it out. The ceviche, is delicious and as the rest of the food read more

Horrible service as soon as you walk in. Waiter's don't even care about attending the customers. They never approach a customer or even let the customer know there will be a wait time. read more

I always get the ceviche de tilapia which is amazing, the reason why I'm giving this place 3 stars is because Their arroz Chaufa isn't that great, it tasted kind of old when i ordered it. Also I ordered ceviche again today and specifically asked them not to make it spicy and it came really spicy, pretty sad considering that I waited an hour for them to deliver and couldn't eat it after. read more

Food was okay, the soup didn't not taste very fresh and was not hot enough. The service overall was pretty good and attentive.

Rude customer services. Asked for menu availability on the phone, and they said they still have the special available. Came in and the food took almost an hour. When we got our food, there was beans missing and waitress said she told us they ran out which she never mentioned and thought she could lie to me and my mother. Very rude and unprofessional waitress. I don't want to run into this restaurant again. read more

This was my first experience with Peruvian food and from what I can tell, it's pretty authentic. Having been brought here by someone who is Peruvian and who claims that the food here is exactly how his mom makes was enough confirmation of its authenticity. This restaurant is certainly a hole in the wall but I didn't get the vibe that it was unsanitary or anything like that. I don't think that the waitstaff really speaks English but it's easy enough to just point to what you want to order. We came in with a decently large group on a pretty random time (4:00pm) on a Thursday and there was maybe only two more people in the entire restaurant. The service was relatively quick and the food was pretty fresh from what I could tell. Also, as you can probably tell from the photos, the dishes are HUGE. I got the Garlic Shrimp which came with rice and fries. It was definitely more of the rice/fries than it was shrimp but there was more than enough. I'm not sure how I feel about the flavors of this dish, I felt like a lot of the things here were overly salty. I have no comparisons for what it's supposed to taste like so I'm just going to assume that this is intentional. I didn't try the ceviche but it certainly looked pretty. In general, a nice spot with large portions but I don't think it's something that I would personally come back here for. read more

Worst restaurant I've ever been to , let me rephrase that worst Peruvian restaurant went in a little after 8 in the evening . Waitress had an attitude from the time we walked in , asked for a high chair for my one year old baby waited waited waited , I knew it wasn't coming because the girl sat down and started eating . So when the other waitress came with our food we asked her for the high chair. We got all our orders food lomo saltado, green spaghettis with steak, papá a la huancaína , food was on the salty side , no one ever came to check on us if we needed a fill up on refreshments or anything else , my wife was frustrated at this time and she got up to ask for the check and get some containers the girl was behind the counter on her personal phone, the girl had audacity to say I'll be right there , my wife was like no thank you I want to leave now. read more

El Punto Marino is a Peruvian "Cevicheria" specializing in seafood and coastal dishes. You won't find the greatest interior or decor, but that is standard with many of the restaurants in the area. You're looking for great flavor, taste, authenticity. El Punto Marino, as many other places in the area, has a specials board as well. I opted for the Punto Marino Combinado - ceviche and jalea (fried calamari) off the menu. You're first given corn nuts with red spicy sauce and green sauce. When it came to my dish itself. the jalea was not the best I've had, but the ceviche was done perfectly. Instead of making the ceviche spicy by adding a spicy sauce and mixing it with lime juice, they prepared it the proper way by adding chopped up peppers. El Punto Marino even provided a shot glass with leche de tigre on the side of the dish, which often costs extra at other locations. read more

The food was amazing! Expect for "el ceviche" the fish was a little to hard (it needed more tenderness). "El arroz con marisco" was amazing. And they had some "verde salsa" it was to die for. I highly recommend this place! read more

Don't believe the rating that are high. They are the family and friends of the owner. The food was EXTREMELY salty and over priced. Did not enjoy a single bite. Service was poor and the place wasn't even busy. They charge a 3.5% fee to use charge card. I ordered the Lomo Mediano take out and the metal pan they gave leaked putting gravy all over the inside of my car. It had a pin hole in the container. What a mess!!! read more

Food was ok. We ordered shrimp chevere, bistec lo pobre, and Lomo saltado. The shrimp was still frozen so that was not good. We barely ate it.The bistec was ok portions were plenty. The Lomo saltado was the best item from the 3 items we ordered. The meat was tender even though there was a few fatty pieces. The French fries and hot green sauce was tasty. Probably won't be coming back to this place. read more

I have only tried lomo/pollo saltado from this place and its the best I ever had. I don't know about anything else on the menu but if you're looking for a good lomo/pollo saltado this is it!!! The lomo one may have some fatty pieces but the flavor is perfection. Opt for the chicken if this would bother you, its just as good. read more

Ceviche was a dissapointment. The fish was cut as if it was for "Tiradito", c'mon if you are peruvian you should know how to cut the fish at least! Fish had a funny smell, onions were bitter. Never again. read more
