The seafood was fresh, and the citrus was present, strong, but not overwhelming. Most of the vendors on the Rockaway Beach boardwalk concessions are overpriced... They either offer a small portion, or are just outright overpriced (think $20 for a crappy fast food style cheeseburger). I got the 97th St. Special at La Cevicheria, which included shrimp and fish, ceviche, quinoa, and causa, which is a Peruvian style mashed potato flavored with the same citrus as the fish (the causa tastes MUCH better than it sounds. The portion size was appropriate, if not slightly generous for the price. And I felt satisfied after the meal. As far as the location, there is nothing better for ambience than sitting down by the beach, enjoying fresh, delicious seafood. I cannot wait to eat here again. Also, extra credit to them for using biodegradable wooden utensils.

The food came out around 10 minutes and we got to enjoy the sun and feel good at the beach. Tables were clean and everything was well maintained.

The ambiance is very nice with music and authentic decorations as well. The bad is that the service was ok nothing bad or good, just ok. There is no water and they definitely charge for it ($4), it is the first time that I experience this. I also did not like that even thought it was only two of us, they automatically place a 15% tip on the receipt and several taxes. If this is something that you don't like, you might be able to say something, but if you don't like bringing this up, I would avoid the place all together. The food is great though.

In Howell Township, you will find yourself in the tiptop of the restaurants of the plaza…read more Brand: 5/5 Macchu Picchu Delights opened months ago, and I will say that it makes a good first impression. The brand definitely shines for this establishment from the exterior to the interior. The Peruvian aesthetics synchronizing Spanish and indigenous culture provides a prominent placement in this plaza. Even when it becomes seasonally-aware, the establishment manages to celebrate Christmas in their own way. Ambiance: 4/5 You are greeted with a large dining area with Peruvian music settling you in. Nothing felt out of place, since you feel at home. The dimmed lights can bring about a cozy vibe, though for this instance, I did think that it would have benefited from more lighting. The seats felt comfortable. Service: 5/5 The staff made sure that we enjoyed our experience and asked us if we needed anything. Wait Time: 5/5 I wrote an entire page in my notebook with medium amounts of lines before my order arrived. Considering the size of the dish, I will say that the wait time matched the preparation. As such, no unnecessary issues or delays happened. Food: 4/5 I ordered the fried rice with chicken, with water including a free refill. While the brown rice did have a hard chew, they definitely bring about the hearty dish, while the well-cooked chicken emphasized the taste. The peas and green onions complement the taste well. I did think that the dish could have had more chicken and less rice. As for the form, the dish contained so much abundance, I had to eat it for lunch, and save it for dinner. Worth The Money?: 3/5 The menu items definitely reflect Peruvian cuisine, and as such I can see how they can be delights, though I have yet to find any substantial amounts of desserts. Needless to say, every part of the aesthetic works with the food, down to the flower placed upon my dish. They do match the music and make you feel immersed. The staff ensure that the food is prepared for, and the wait time was definitely appropriate for the time it took to make it. For a brand with vivacious colors, the dimmed lights really do a disservice to not show them in their glory. The staff ensure that the ambiance has festive yet calm substance. As such, the wait time did not feel cumbersome. I would greatly recommend the establishment to create their own website, since there are numerous Peruvian restaurants across America with "Macchu Picchu" in their names. It would especially help the establishment if the aesthetics that make the interior shine would extend to the website itself. Concerning color scheme, they should absolutely reflect the warm, cozy color scheme of the ambiance, while also incorporating the fading color as mystique as Macchu Picchu itself. I would consider Macchu Picchu Delights my second choice, just to support my local businesses and introduce myself more to Peruvian culture and cuisine. Would I say that the fried rice with chicken was worth more than $20? Perhaps if I wanted to fill myself up for the day, however if I am simply looking for a quick meal, then I probably would look elsewhere. As such, another suggestion would be to offer smaller versions of the dishes for a cheaper price, particularly if they wish to attract customers completely unfamiliar to Peruvian cuisine. Rating: 4/5 Stars For a business just starting, I will say that Macchu Picchu Delights manages to do most things right. While the relevance of the restaurant must become more pronounced, I can say that it is off to a good start. Recommend To... Anyone interested in Peruvian culture and cuisine.

The friendly employee checked if I ordered from the kiosk, and I did. After 5 minutes or so, my order was ready and I took it to go. The stir-fried beef was really salty (think it's the marination) even when you eat the beef with the white rice or fries to try to dilute how much sauce there is. The tomato and onions were great. Tons of fries (that I can't finish it) and a small container of white rice. Have to come back and try the cerviche and fried rice next time.

BLUF: Good chicken, upbeat service…read more Simple Peruvian in Sunnyside, NY, is currently my favorite place for rotisserie chicken in Queens. Dishes we've had include: - Half Chicken: $9.50; $10.34 with tax. The chicken and accompanying green sauce are above average; 4 stars out of 5. The chicken is flavorfully marinated and moist, and the green sauce has a little heat to it. - The Sampler: $16.99; $18.59 with tax. The most flavorful component of this dish was the chicken. The rice was on the mushy side. The ceviche was OK but the proteins didn't quite have the right textures. - Aeropuerto Special: $15.25; $16.60 with tax. OK; 3 stars out of 5. A mixture of thin lo mein noodles and rice with some roast pork, chicken, and shrimp. The dish seemed to have a decent wok hei, which was confusing because the chicken rice from the Sampler was on the mushy side. This dish would be much better with more proteins, and the wok hei suggests that the restaurant has untapped potential. - Papa Rellena: $8.95; $9.74 with tax. OK; 3 stars out of 5. Stuffed deep fried potatoes that seemed factory-made, instead of house-made. Atmosphere, Service, Other: The restaurant is casual, clean, and comfortable for dining in, with a mix of regular tables and booth-style seating. Those who choose to dine-in should order food at the counter, receive a number placard, and find a place to sit. Staff will bring plates, utensils, and later, one's food and drink; and will clear the table when your party is finished eating. Service is notably upbeat. Suggested tips are based on pre-tax subtotals, and start at an affordable 12%. Overall ticket time (the time between placing an order and having that order served) is reasonable. By contrast, Bayside Chicken Lovers often requires that orders be placed in advance to minimize wait time. The restroom is adequately maintained, but oddly pipes in music louder than in the main dining area. Simple Peruvian is a couple of storefronts away from Kora, which is a superb place for dessert afterwards.

After asking for a bit of advice and opinions on some of their favorites from the menu, we got a little bit of everything.. Two smoothies, a chicken salad sandwich and a few empanadas. Everything was delicious! The Surtido (or Market Boost) smoothie was so fruity and flavorful, you'd think it was loaded with sugar. And the pan con pollo (chicken salad sandwich) was so simple and tasty. Loved that it had some lettuce, celery and little chips added to it for a bit of a crunch. And all on some good bread. Excited to return for coffee and another smoothie. Happy to have another great breakfast/lunch spot on my radar!

We stopped at Mixtura because it was relatively close to JFK after a late-night arrival. It was a…read moreSaturday around 10 p.m., and finding an open place to eat at that hour was not easy, so this felt like a practical option on the way home. I live in New Jersey, and I knew that if I didn't eat somewhere near the airport, I was probably not going to eat at all that night. We ordered papa a la huancaína, a tamal, and leche de tigre, and the total came to about $48, which Its affordable by the area standards. Peruvian food is not necessarily cheap, so my issue was not mainly the price. My issue was the quality and the care behind the food. Its important to note here I am Peruvian, so I say this with real knowledge of the cuisine and with disappointment, not malice. The papa a la huancaína came with about four or five potato pieces, half an egg, one lettuce leaf, and no olive. Quantity-wise, the potatoes were fine, but the sauce told the whole story. It barely tasted like ají amarillo, and the flavor felt muted and commercial, like it was made more for cost control than for enjoyment. Huancaína sauce should have character, richness, and that unmistakable Peruvian flavor. This one felt flat. The tamal was decent in flavor, so I will give credit there, but it had only one slice of pork, no egg, and very little ají. It was a good size, but still did not feel worth the price. Again, it felt like the ingredients were being stretched too far. The most disappointing item was the leche de tigre. This is a dish that deserves much more respect because for many people, ceviche and related dishes are among the most recognized parts of Peruvian cuisine. This preparation did not feel delicate or authentic. It tasted like corners were cut. As someone who knows Peruvian food and has worked in restaurants before, I understand that using enough lime to properly prepare fish is expensive in the U.S. But that is exactly the point: if you are going to serve this dish, then do it right. If not, don't present it as something special. $21 for this? Honestly, I felt CHEATED. What frustrated me most is that this restaurant clearly has potential. The decor is nice, ready for selfies and Instagram pictures; you can tell effort was put into the presentation of the space. But to me, it felt like more attention went into ambiance than into the food itself. My impression was that the restaurant is aimed more at people who are not very familiar with Peruvian food and may accept a more mediocre version of it. For someone who truly knows and loves Peruvian cuisine, this was disappointing. I've had much better Peruvian food in less polished places in New Jersey, especially in Paterson. The decor at Mixtura may be prettier, but the food I had there was, at best, low-end mediocre. I ate it because I was hungry and it was late, and I appreciate that they were open when I needed a meal. But I would not go back, even in the same situation again. If you are Peruvian or very familiar with authentic Peruvian food, this may not be the place for you. If you are simply craving something nearby and are not especially focused on authenticity or quality, then maybe it will work for you. But for me, this is a one-time visit only. Sorry, its a NO-GO for a second visit.
