Great environment, lots of food portion for the price and good service!…read more We had a layover and wanted to eat good food and saw this restaurant on Yelp. Decided to try it and when we arrived it was empty with street parking. It was a Tuesday night and pretty cold which is why I'm guessing no one was there. Lots of seating options, bathrooms were clean and they had a big screen of music playing. The waitress was very friendly and took our drink orders and food orders right away. We got the chicken and anticuchos along with chicha morada. Food came out fast and the plates were huge. Waitress was very attentive and brought out all the sauces, extra napkins and was on sight in case we needed anything. Food was great, cooked how we asked for it and potatoes were not burnt. I was happy with my order and experience and recommend this place.

As the name suggests, they specialize in pollo a la brasa, rotisserie chicken cooked over charcoal, typically accompanied with fresh cut french fries and salad. In addition, they offer daily specials, and a full a la carte menu. Perhaps most importantly, this is a place that cares about its sauce selection. You'll feel like a true painter armed with the plate as your palette. When I received my meal, the waitress even double-checked to make sure all the sauces were all full. Their chicken comes with 3 sauces (also called cremas or aji): - the yellow sauce - huancaina - the green sauce - aji verde - the brown/reddish - olive sauce, salsa de aceituna

When one Peruvian restaurant closes, another one opens…read more Puerto Peruano is a newly opened family-owned Peruvian restaurant found in the Seaport area of Elizabeth on 1st St. Restaurants regularly open and close in this area, as there is a less touristic aspect of foot traffic compared to downtown. Upon walking in, there's a strong aromatic smell of hot Peruvian dishes, either lomo saltado, or chaufa. There were several tables occupied by locals for lunch when I arrived. The architecture of the restaurant is a tad strange, although homely in its decorations, the restaurant being split in two halves by walls. The service was extremely friendly and attentive, full of smiles. The menu consists of seafood dishes (stewed and steamed fish, breaded, jalea, ceviche, soups, etc.) as well as other typical Peruvian dishes such as saltado, chaufa, bistec a lo pobre, and more, excluding pollo a la brasa. In addition, they have a whiteboard with daily specials. I went with the ceviche de pescado as well as a cup of chicha morada. The chicha was excellent with strong sweet flavor, topped with fruit. The ceviche was of great portion ($13), a nice crunchy but cooked fish taste, balanced by the lime and onions. It came with corn and a steamed sweet potato on the side, as is typical. It was served in a shallow fish-shaped dish, allowing ease of drinking the leche de tigre. As you can see in the picture of the ceviche, there is much attention paid to the variety of spices and herbs to the dish. The fact that the dish is very green, and there are fine chopped hot peppers are good signs! I look forward to returning to try some of their many hot dishes next!

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.

The food was phenomenal and the service was exceptional as always, 5/5 stars. The atmosphere is always nice, well decorated and they usually have live music (though this Sunday I went w my mom and sister they didn't). We loved everything! In my opinion, they serve a good amount per dish, medium to large portions- but not plates overflowing with food like many other Peruvian restaurants- that's what I love about here. Their ceviche is hands-down the best around the area, always fresh and tasty! I'm def coming back. FYI, parking is a bit of a hassle...

I remember coming in here all the time with my family when I was younger as this was our go-to spot due to the good service and environment.

Whether you like to sit in or take out, overall, I would recommend this place if you'd like a good order of Pollo a la Brasa with crispy fries. :-)
