The trio of protein is an off menu item because the menu offers a choice of only one protein. Boy, was I disappointed in my order! The seafood tasted like it had been defrosted before cooking. It did not taste fresh. I had the Passionfruit Pisco, which was too sweet, and it tasted like it barely had any liquor in it. For dessert, I had the tres leches, which had a skimpy amount of sweetened condensed sauce (about three tablespoons), and when I asked him for more, Cristian responded that there was no extra sauce available. I have been to way better Peruvian restaurants than this--especially in Queens. The decor is nice though. I will not be back. This is one and done.

My youngest daughter and her husband joined us to celebrate their wedding anniversary and her pregnancy. Walter, our waiter, always makes us felt at home. All the wait service at the restaurant are great and very friendly. We ordered our drinks and some appetizers to share. We had crispy fried calamari, Thai elephant wings and most excellent nachos. We had fried calamari which was hot and delicious. Everything was so good! We were enjoying our conversation and our culinary experience. We are never rushed. We ordered our meals. I ordered crusty salmon with string beans and peppers in a sauce. It melted in my mouth and was cooked to perfection. My wife had the coconut shrimp with the ginger mayo sauce. My daughter had the Awesome Avocado salad with onions, organic baby greens,string beans, cherry tornado and corn. We were very satisfied with all the meals. We decided that we should bring home the chocolate mouse desserts. They were perfect for our lunch the following day. We travelled to the Purple Elephant in Northport because we are never disappointed in the food, the wait service and the atmosphere. If you are near or in Northport, NY, we strongly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed! Enjoy your family and friends with a great meal. Say hello to Walter for us.

The menu clearly states that prices do not include tax, which is perfectly fine. My issue is not…read morewith paying tax, it's with how I was charged. The owner, who was working the register, charged me more than the menu prices plus tax. It appeared that she rounded up the total and added extra charges that didn't match the posted prices. When I asked the employees about the pricing, every one of them said they didn't know because only the owner handles the pricing. I asked for an itemized receipt because the total didn't seem right. Once the receipt was handwritten by her, it showed I had been overcharged, and the owner immediately had to issue me a refund. What was most frustrating was how casually the situation was handled, as if overcharging a customer was no big deal. If your costs have increased, update your menu prices. Don't charge one price on the menu and something different at the register, she claims she's charging you tax but she's rounding up amounts to the nearest dollar and even more on some items like the rotisserie chicken. She's stealing from her customers and then became upset and raised her tone of voice when she got caught. She's also not nice to the employees, you can tell they are afraid of her. My advice to anyone eating here: always ask for an itemized receipt and check your bill before you pay. Don't assume the total is correct just because the owner is ringing you up. There were also flies on the food served at the buffet so we asked for take out. The food was good but she ruined everything for us because she's very rude and unprofessional.

BEWARE!!! My family…read moreof four went to Las Delicias de mi Tierra (1262 Suffolk Ave, Brentwood) because my mom spoke highly of the food. Keep in mind--we were a group of four. The menu states in fine print: "We charge $5 + service tips when the party is 5 or more." My mother ordered a soup but found it tasted old. When we informed the waiter, he was attentive, and my mother even praised his excellent service. However, when the manager got involved, he told us that if we didn't accept the soup, the cost would be taken out of the waiter's pay. This is not only unethical but illegal--an employer cannot deduct an employee's wages over customer dissatisfaction. That should have been our cue to leave. Unfortunately, we stayed--and soon regretted it. When the bill arrived, we noticed they had wrongly applied the automatic gratuity to our group of four. My mother went to the register to respectfully point this out, holding the menu as reference. In response, the owner grabbed the menu from her hands and dramatically ripped it into pieces while declaring that all the prices were wrong. She assumed we were arguing about food prices when, in reality, we were only trying to correct the mistaken automatic gratuity charge. At no point did the restaurant have signage stating the menu prices were outdated, nor were we informed of any price changes. Still, the owner escalated the situation, became irate, and showed clear disgust when we questioned the automatic gratuity charge. As I tried to de-escalate, simply asking to be rung up so we could leave, she dismissively told me, "You are in a Spanish restaurant, speak Spanish." The microaggression was completely unwarranted. She then falsely accused us of harassing the waiter--despite our repeated praise of his service. When my mother reiterated how great he was, the owner sarcastically snapped, "If he's so good, why don't you take him home with you?" This restaurant may have "good" food, but the owner's hostility ruins the experience for anyone who dares to speak up. What should have been a simple correction of an incorrect automatic gratuity charge turned into an unnecessary escalation. After leaving, I checked Google reviews and found many others who had similar experiences with the owner's attitude. One of the co-owners, Christopher Goicochea, provides his personal number for complaints. When we called, his only response was, "What do you want me to do about it?" This lack of accountability is reflected in how the owners aggressively respond to negative reviews rather than addressing their behavior. If the restaurant wishes to dispute this review, I offer them to release the unedited restaurant footage and audio. Otherwise, I suggest they: - Clearly post signage if menu prices are outdated - Print updated menus - Encourage the owner/s to improve how they interact with customers and handle concerns more professionally If you value being treated with respect, AVOID THIS PLACE. For the record: After the automatic gratuity was corrected, we paid our bill in full and even left a cash tip for our wonderful waiter, who truly deserved it.

You're done they'll clear the table. When they are busy this may leave the dining room cluttered, but fear not. I mentioned it once and they cleared plates and cleaned tables on the spot. So for a fast food type place, and this isn't truly fast food, why the missing star? Not for the food or the service. Mainly because the roasted chicken is not always available right away. That's a shame because it's so good and because I have gluten intolerances it means I might have to pick a different spot. Also, this place does catering and they can do it very quick. So if you have something come up impromptu and you want some awesome food. This is the place. Gringo friends, you are totally missing out. Give this place a try. You will be glad you did.
