Came here for lunch. My friend suggested this spot. I'm a fan of Peruvian food and I usually get the roasted chicken. Once we entered, we were seated at our table; there is a good amount of seating inside. I ordered from the lunch menu, which consists of an appetizer, main and dessert. I started off with the empanada de queso which was very cheesy and tasty. For my main, I got the half rotisserie chicken which comes with two sides, I got the rice and salad. The chicken was solid and the green sauce and hot sauce mixed together made for a nice dip for the chicken. Also got a pitcher of this purple drink, forgot what it was called but it was good. For dessert I got the tres leches cake, which was the right amount after the big meal. The portion size is very big and for the price ($14.75), you cannot beat that. They give you so much and def worth the trip. If you're in the mood for Peruvian food, I highly recommend place. * Street parking * Good service read more

Absolutely amazing!!! Hands down my new go to Peruvian restaurant yet!! First off, it's BYOB!! How great is that?! They provide glasses so bring whatever drink you desire. The establishment is clean and well kept up, the service was excellent, my server was so lovely and kind. The food came out so unbelievably fresh too! I ordered Lomo Saltado and it came out piping hot and flavorful! The chaufa was so well made, fresh, very well seasoned too. Their food portion sizes are great for the value, and well presented. They also serve house made bread, and provide roasted corn with green sauce and salsa (both of which were delicious). From the ambiance, to the service, and the food, 5 stars all the way around. I had a great night, I will be a regular customer, and so should you. Thankyou for having me! read more

Absolutely superb Peruvian food served by very nice folk. We had a trio of ceviche, a huge cauldron of chicken noodle soup (we took home a quart of leftovers. But the best was potatoes w/three cremas. The yellow was good, the red had a touch of spice, and the green was wonderfully earthy. We want to return with a group to explore more of the menu. The service was warm and caring. read more

generous food portions here. located on busy bergenline ave in north bergen, they offer an extensive menu of tasty peruvian foods. we waited for about 15 minutes for food, but I guess the food was worth it when we saw the heaping poritons. The shrimp in the chaufa (fried rice) was notable, very fresh. we also tried the lomo saltado (beef strips with rice, peppers, tomatoes and rice) and the julienned strips of beef were cut well and full of flavor, served over a bed of fries. must try. read more

Ordered and pickup up a limo saltado and chaufa but were completely tasteless. The food was horrendous.

Excellent place to eat and if you want to impress your lady I would recommend this place on a heart beat. Do not miss this excellent restaurant in NJ. read more

Went here for lunch and got seated right away as there were not many people inside. The waiter was nice and the food came out quickly. However the leche de tigre was a bit disappointing it needed more flavor, so I added hot sauce (rocoto) and it was better. The ají de gallina was good and the causa was also good. I will certainly go back but I'll pass on the leche the tigre. read more

I went to La Kausa for dinner and ordered the Arroz con Mariscos. This was a Peruvian style paella with seafood, and it was good, but not as flavorful as some other paella dishes that I've had. A few small points for improvement: the rice didn't have the creaminess that I've liked from other paella dishes and the seafood was not as plentiful as I would have liked. I also tried the Empanada de Mariscos (seafood) and Empanada de Carne (meat). The exteriors of both had the right amount of crispiness, while the interiors were average in quality. The service speed was very slow. In addition, although our waitress did check in on us once, we were never offered to have our waters refilled even though we finished them early on in our meals. That being said, the staff members were very friendly. You can tell that this is a local place because many of the staff and customers seemed to know each other and spoke Spanish with each other in a very friendly manner. There is plenty of seating inside the restaurant. Overall, La Kausa is a good local spot for authentic Peruvian food. I would recommend it to anyone looking for Latin American food in the North Bergen area. read more

Their Arroz Chaufa (Peruvian Fried Rice) is amazing!!! My husband and I are absolutely obsessed with their Arroz Chaufa with chicken (around $14). It is SO flavorful every single time! The ingredients taste very fresh. That green sauce is addicting. And the portion is huge. Oh and La Kausa delivers. What more could you ask for? Their Lomo Saltado is also good but not the best I've ever had. The beef is super tender but the sauce tasted a little watered down. Anyways, back to the Arroz Chaufa- Brb (be right back) I'm going to go order some now! read more

WOW!! So so happy I tried this place. Came here with my boyfriend and we both are dyingggg to come back. Service was absolutely incredible. Multiple waiters attend you and they were all extremely nice and attentive. They really paid attention to us and were very personable and sweet. Food blew my mind, definitely topping this as my favorite Peruvian restaurant! We started with Papa a la Huancaina and Cheviche de Pescado. Both were amazing, but the ceviche was TO DIE FOR. Seriously, it tasted for fresh, perfectly lime-y, and just soooo good. Then, we both had Chaufa's as an entrees. They both hit the spot and the salsa verde added to it made it even more delectable. We're already planning our next visit back. The prices were definitely reasonable and the vibe is pretty cute. It's not a fancy restaurant, but very presentable and suitable for dates, family dinners, maybe even a birthday. If you are craving Peruvian food - RUN, don't walk to La Kausa! read more

Yo mi familia veníamos viajando 4horas y 30 minutos para venir a comer a este restaurante chileno. Cuando llegamos nos dijeron que alguien tenía reservado todo el lugar pero nunca publicaron nada en su página para que otras personas estuviera al tanto de que no estaba atendiendo. Les recomiendo que llamen antes de ir para que sepan si tienen servicio. read more

This restaurant has been my family's go-to "home away from home" since it opened. The owners are wonderful and the wait staff are efficient, kind, and - if you come in often enough - very loving. The food has always been extraordinary and, if it's not, they will not hesitate to address your needs. My father loves the fish dishes (fried, light batter). I vary between the chaufa (think of a Chinese fried rice, but with fresh ingredients, not greasy, and extremely plentiful), the milanesa de pollo (a breaded chicken cutlet), and always starting with the cheese empanadas. It's affordable, friendly, and with exquisite food. read more

I ordered take out from here 2 times. I got the pollo saltado. The portion size is pretty large and the price is relatively fair compared to other prices for the same dish. The staff is friendly, the service is fast and on time. The dish itself was good. They do give you 2 little green sauces but it's not enough for the entire plate. They should give more in my opinion. The chicken is cooked well. I would have liked a few more French fries in the dish. I would return to try more dishes. read more

i want to give it 5 stars but still need more samples! so far the ceviche and filet of fish ive had were excellent! am coming back

I was excited to come back here. Unfortunately, it wasn't as good as last time. We waited over 30 minutes for the appetizer, which was the soup of the day and 1 empanada. Then, it took an hour for the main entrees to come out. There were tables that were sat after us and got their food first. My husband's entree came out first and then mine came after another 10 minutes. We would have no problem if they were just busy, but all other tables got their food first. We were so full from just waiting we had to take out food to-go. On top of that, they added 18% gratuity to our bill. I would definitely not be coming back here. read more

This place was really tasty. The customer service was awesome although the servers don't speak English so even though there was a language barrier, the server still tried her best to make conversation. I ordered ceviche and we got lomo saltado. The food came out really fast and the taste was immaculate. It loses one stars because they take the tip (mandatory tip) in the check so it takes that out of your control. read more

I absolutely love this place! It's such a really comfortable, friendly place with amazing Peruvian food! There wasn't a wait so our party of four got seated really quick. The waitress was incredibly friendly, letting us know of any specials and also gave us her recommendations. We ordered a salad, ceviche, chaufa, kausa, and a salmon dish. Everything was absolutely delicious!! The kausa, salmon, and chaufa were huge highlights. The chaufa, which is essentially a fried rice with some Peruvian and Chinese flair to it was really tasty and the chicken flavorful. The kausa was soo great and I would definitely recommend getting, especially if you have never tried before. The ceviche was also really good and really lime eh which I love. Chicha morada was our drink of choice and complemented the entire meal fantastically. Overall, this place is amazing and I wish I lived much closer so I could go more often and become a regular! read more

This place is super authentic Peruvian. The food is delicious and the staff is very genuine and welcoming. I ordered the ceviche de pescado on a weekend afternoon. Considering that other upscale NYC restaurants will get the ingredients wrong or add too much salt, this restaurant had the perfect blend of ingredients in their ceviche, and a nice family atmosphere to compliment it. My partner had causa and papa la huancaína which was also very good. We both drank chicha morada. I don't need to say more. read more

This is a smaller spot that my friends and I went to. The food was pretty delicious and pretty amazing. Just a small tip I would say, if you don't know Spanish like me.. go with someone who does. The place was clean, had TV if you are into watching TV while eating. It reminds me of a homemade dish that my Peruvian friend's mom would make us. I would recommend!! read more

Really doesn't look like much when you past by but it's okay. Disclaimer: I love Peruvian food so I'm rating this with really high standards. It was okay. Wasn't bad but wasn't great or the best I've had. The jalea didn't have a lime juice dressing on the side. The arroz chaufa had no onions or vegetables and that kind of threw me off. But besides that they're good. A quick bite and even a dine in would be fine. But if you love love love peruvian food then maybe go to Sabor Peru 35 minutes away lol no I'm kidding it's okay. read more

Don't waste your time ordering online. They will tell your no order came in that you didn't pay even though you show a receipt. Then they will go into the system after giving you a poor attitude and tell you, you have to wait or a refund. Basically telling you Wait or get out rolling eyes and nasty attitude. Nothing to help make the situation correct or a single apology. read more

Look...I'm not a cheap man, I just like to pay for certain foods at the price they deserve to be at. For example , Spanish food really shouldn't be over priced specially when most of our food is rice and beans. This restaurant isn't bad , they make the food good. They just over price Peruvian food . Let's honest , Peruvian is an amazing and complex cuisine that is number one in the world.... over there in Peru.... here the idea of Peruvian food is mixed rice and a few other dishes. You literally pay 17$ for the same rice u can get in a Chinese restaurant , or for half as much at the other 5 Peruvian spots on the same price. They just give this place a more "luxury" feel. I don't think their food is worth the price. Save your money and go to the cheaper less fancier Peruvian spots. Same exact food. For way less. I'm not slamming their dishes though. Their food is good, if you have money that you want to throw away than be my guest and spend it here for some chauffa. The food : 3.9 out of 5 Service : 4.5 out of 5 Price: 2 out of 5 (to pricey) Vibe : 3.9 out of 5 Overall : 3.7 out of 5 read more

Randomly decided to go here and it was the best idea we have had. Everything we ordered tasted amazing. Lomo saltado was to die for and the papa huacaina was one of the best I've had. Service was great and the waiting time for the food was very minimum. I def. recommend this place. If you get the chance to go , please do!!! read more

The food is good here for sure but it is a bit over priced for Peruvian food. The homemade bread at the beginning is yummy and comes out warm. The steak is tender and juicy in the lomo which is a plus. The causas are also really good. As a Peruvian I enjoyed the various hot sauces they had. I would love to give them 5 stars but do agree with others that the prices are a bit too high for what you get. read more

I like to try every Peruvian restaurant I find and La Kausa was not an exception. Let's start saying that the ambient is nice, big TV at the end wall with usually soccer games and the personnel is very helpful and friendly. The food has its ups and downs. All the appetizers were very good, the Causa de Pollo, Cebiche and overall the Palta (avocado) Rellena. I was not that hungry so I ordered a Sopa Minuta... uauh!, what a good tasty soup; it has angel hair, beef and an excellent broth. The low part were my wife and brother entrees... they each ordered a Lomo a lo Pobre ($17.99) a dish with a sirloin, fried eggs and french fries... it shouldn't be that hard, right?. Well, the piece of sirloin was one third fat!. Not an appealing look at all. For the price, I was expecting a better quality of meat. In general, a good place if you want to eat decent Peruvian food. read more

Best Peruvian in NJ! Great food. Small place.

Had bad food 6 months ago but decided to give it a second chance and it was worse than the first time. Not tasty at all! Peruvian food should be full of flavor and this place lacks flavor. Staff is friendly so thats the only plus. read more

I love this place so much. The atmosphere is very relaxed and comfortable, and I love coming here with friends and family. The food is incredible- especially the ceviche! Other dishes I love are the papa a la huancaina and the tallarin verde! read more
