Pescado Relleno
Lee S.

My rating is more like 3.5. The seafood was very tasty. I think the sauce could have been served hotter, but was also tasty. The one thing that I didn't like was the tip situation. They add the tip to the bill, which I often don't mind because it's less than what I usually give. But what I thought was not cool... after the card is swiped, and given the receipt to sign, it shows "total" then "tip" is left blank (but you already tipped). So if you're not paying attention you will tip again. So just review the bill before paying.

Mixed seafood civiche, the best!!!!!
Sellina Y.

This review is long over-due. I've been a loyal customer since I first moved to NJ and it has been over three years now. I have only ordered their mixed seafood civiche and their baked ring cookies. After having many civiche dishes from other restaurants, Fruit Punch Cafe is in first place. Ingredients in my favorite civiche: fresh fish, octopus, squids, shrimps, red onion, corn (with huge kernels), I piece of 2x2 sweet potatoe, I piece of 2x2 yuca, and maybe lemon or lime juice makes this perfect civiche mix. I always order with a mild degree of spice, but it always ends up spicy... Just the way I like it. I've ordered no spice before, but that just means there is less juice...not the same bc I have my civiche with rice n that calls for some sauce. I'll be returning again very soon :) for pick up, like always.

Located in Bergerline ave, only 20 mnts from 8th ave and 42ndst in New York Port Authority Bus terminal, just take a Shuttle and it will drop you of in West New York New Jersey right across the Hudson River. I been coming here for years with my family and friends all the way from Queens,New York. It's a Family Oriented restaurant, with great choices of food at a very reasonable prices, Its Peruvian Cuisine at it's best. I order the Shrimp Soup, a mixture of Vegetables,eggs,rice, dice potsto and Shrimp with a special blend of sauce. I top it of with some Peruvian Spice, delicious and healthy, they do have many other choices of dishes which is very typical of Peruvian culture, come out here and try it out. Also order the Chibcha drink a purple color delicious Peruvian drink all at a good price just within the budget. The place is very nice,clean and cute decor, it's Family Oriented and friendly, the waitresses friendly, bilingual and excellent service. Drop by check it out Peruvian food at it's best don't let the Café part fool you it's a restaurant.

Looks good, but tasteless

In the enormous amount of restaurants on Bergenline Ave. in West New York, I still am hoping to find a decent place with good food. Unfortunately I was disappointed again. This seems to be a Peruvian restaurant with many flashing lights adorning the windows. Several tables, which were all empty. That should have been my clue, but no, I sat down to eat. I ordered Peruvian style baked chicken with rice and salad which includes a bowl of soup. The chicken soup was flavorless. Rice and bones and some carrots with no seasoning. The baked chicken and white rice with salad was dreadful. Rubber chicken leg that you can't cut with a knife. Hard old rice and a small salad. I couldn't put it down. Left the soup and half of the rice with the unedible rubber chicken. What a disappointment. The only thing I enjoyed was the green sauce, this is the reason I gave them one star.

It was delicious

I was first introduced to this place when the owner allowed the youth committee to eat on the house for a special event. Ever since then, I've fell in love with Peruvian food! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu; it's surely cooked from the heart. The owner is so sweet! Seafood, meats, sauces...yum I can go for some right now. Here's a picture of my take-out of chaufa. The large can feed up to for people and it costs less than $20. Tell me that's not a steal!

Delicious Food. Lomo Saltado and ChiCha Morada. Halal Meat. No pig meat. Great Red and Green sauces for your pica needs. So many things to try!

Ordered 5 jaleas, found a hair in one. Most of it was just fried pieces of nothing! all different in size. Some had yuca others didn't. BAD!

My favorite go-to Peruvian chicken place. Their chicken - and the sauce - are very addicting!!!…read more It's one of the best cheap eats places I've found near my neighborhood, as they really give you a lot of bang for your buck. The chicken is seasoned correctly (I find John's Fried Chicken up the block too salty for my taste), and it goes well with their white rice and beans. This place is my "Welcome to New Jersey" restaurant when I have friends and family visit from out of town - and everyone loves it (and asks for seconds!). You won't be disappointed coming here!

If you walk into Kikiriki expecting a culinary journey through the streets of Lima, you might want…read moreto turn around and check the sign again. Despite proudly branding itself as a Peruvian restaurant, the menu tells a completely different story. Aside from a few items with "Peruvian" hastily slapped onto the front of their names, the selection is a bit of an identity crisis. But if you can look past the cultural bait-and-switch, Kikiriki actually has a few things going for it--namely, your wallet's happiness. The Food The Star: Rotisserie Chicken Let's start with the absolute best reason to visit. The chicken is, without a doubt, the savior of this establishment. Whatever SPICES they are using hits all the right notes. It's deeply savory, incredibly juicy, and sports a perfectly crisped, seasoned skin. If you stick to a quarter or half chicken order, you're going to leave happy. The Sidekick: The Fries Unfortunately, every superhero needs a good sidekick, and this chicken is flying solo. The French fries are the definition of "bland." They lack crispiness, desperately need salt, and feel like a total afterthought. Pro-tip: drown them in hot sauce or ketchup which you need to provide yourself. The Value Where Kikiriki truly shines is the receipt. In a dining landscape where a basic combo meal can easily push past $20, Kikiriki keeps things refreshingly old-school. The prices are exceptionally good for the portion sizes you receive. You can get a massive plate of food that will easily feed you for two meals without breaking the bank. The Verdict Go for the chicken, stay for the low bill, but don't expect an authentic Peruvian feast. Kikiriki isn't going to win any authenticity awards, and their fry cook needs a lesson in seasoning. However, if you are looking for a cheap, filling, and genuinely delicious chicken dinner, it's well worth a visit. Just think of it more as a great neighborhood chicken joint rather than an international dining experience.

Overall: 5 stars…read more Located in American dream, Jarana is a Peruvian restaurant with an expansive menu featuring classics of ceviche and roast chicken to everything beyond such as fried rice and pasta. The restaurant was aside live acoustic guitar covers and quite the vibe to complete the quality food that was served impressively quick.

The restaurant is colorful, lively, and has a great atmosphere without feeling too formal. We started with the Tuna Wantacos. Our server warned us that they were spicy, and he was right -- definitely a little kick, but very flavorful. The white fish ceviche was bright and refreshing, with that tangy, salty leche de tigre that really wakes up your appetite. The Lomo Saltado was hearty and satisfying, but my favorite dish of the night was the Seafood Arroz Chaufa. It came topped with an omelet and had squid, fried shrimp, and plenty of seafood throughout. Really comforting, savory, and filling -- I would absolutely order this again. We also had chicha morada and a passion fruit drink. I've always liked purple corn drinks, so the chicha morada was an easy favorite. We finished with a chocolate dessert, which was a nice ending after such a big meal. Overall, a very enjoyable Peruvian dinner with fun décor, good flavors, and plenty of variety. I'd definitely come back, especially for the seafood fried rice.

We ordered 2 dishes, the Lomo Saltado and 1/2 Pollo - both ended up lasting 3-4 meals which is great value! The Lomo Saltado was tender, juicy, and the sauce was savory, slightly sweet, and had a lot of depth. I wish there was more meat compared to everything else. loved that the sauce soaked up into the rice adding even more flavor to the bite. The French fries got soggy so I would suggest eating this first or be prepared to re-heat them if you can. The 1/2 Pollo was also tender, well-seasoned, and flavorful. It was absolutely delicious with the green sauce which cannot be skipped in every single bite. The Chaufa is a Peruvian-style Chinese fried rice mixed with eggs, chives, soy sauce; it compliments the chicken so well and can literally be eaten by itself too. The tostones were good but I wish maduros was an option as a side. I don't know why you can't substitute for that. All in all, good value, good flavors, and very filling!

Service was okay, I asked to eat inside the restaurant and sit down and the lady at the counter said no because they would need to charge me to sit indoors which I had already paid $20 for the rice meal. The business was empty with only two tables being used so I thought it was not great customer service to not let me sit down and eat my food if the restaurant wasn't busy. Idk why the extra charge was needed, I am a paying customer so I left. I recommend the food but mixed opinions on the customer service experience I had here. The ambiance is family oriented in a Spanish neighborhood.
