The mofongo is made fresh to order for each customer using the old-fashioned method of beating plantains by hand. I ordered it with fried eggs on the side, medium, which were perfectly prepared. I had a mamey batido with milk as my drink which was also made individually with fresh ingredients. Nestor and the rest of the staff had a good sense of humor and enjoyed chatting with the customers who stopped by for lunch.

I had the stew goat, white rice and red beans with a papaya milkshake and 4 leche cake. The food was really welled seasoned and cooked perfectly. Even the rice was good, which is usually too soft, or grainy at other restaurants. The milkshake was really good. Would go back just for that honestly. The cake was okay, nothing to repurchase though. Staff was super nice. They do offer some tables to eat in, but I took my food to go.

I must disclose…read moreI am peruvian myself and I am VERY critical of my food because I was born and raised there, so to say I know how peruvian food looks like and taste, it's an understatement. We ordered: yuca frita with huancaina sauce, ceviche, 4 sabores, patasca, crema volteada, tres leches. Price was affordable $100 for all that food, in this area is difficult to find but I feel it was a "hit or miss" kinda place: the patasca and ceviche were awesome.. meanwhile the rest was BLAH Will I come here again? The answer sadly is NO. They need to hire a REAL PERUVIAN CHEF which is not who cooked my food, I can tell. Sadly, hire another cook.

They have 9$ lunch specials on weekday's, which I got, while my friend got the ceviche. Both our meals were fantastic- you can tell the corvina was super fresh while my soup and pork chop was cooked to perfection. Make sure to get the emoliente- it's freshly brewed and very unique. It kind of reminds me of sweetened herbal tea with barley and fruit overtones.

They hung up on me twice for not speaking spanish (i do know enough to place an order, they just…read moredidnt give me the chance), before i was able to place an order for take away. A modest restaurant, that seems to be run by family/close friends, which turned out to be some of the best peruvian food ive had in New Jersey so far. I really was craving ceviche and peruvian fried rice when I stumbled on this local store on Yelp. I did have difficulty placing an order at first, but once the man realized i speak some spanish and wanted to order food, he seemed to try to apologize and took my order. When i came in for pickup i was greeted by two workers who did indeed only speak Spanish. I think they forgot to cook my order because when i asked them about my pickup, the man was startled and asked me to wait an addition 10 minutes. After waiting, i received my order and paid (cash only). As a side note, they do have two small tables set outside for those who want to dine in. Despite the issues I had with getting my food, i have to say I am very impressed with the amount and quality of food. It really took me back to food in Peru and I was so happy to have found a good local shop. We asked for the spicy ceviche mixto and arroz chaufa mixto as well. The ceviche had a very good kick and was the best Ive had in NJ. Arroz chaufa was served in a large tray and was an unbelievable portion size. It looked and tasted very home-made and definitely could serve at least 2-3 people. For the price, taste, and quality of food, i dont think you could find better in NJ. It definitely adds fierce competition to larger peruvian restaurants. I know I had difficulty ordering but I do appreciate the hustle of a family serving its community. If you speak spanish or are willing to pick up google translate Id definitely recommend coming here. Will be back!

I've gotten the pork a few times and on more than one occasion it was farm tasting. There are a lot of other rice and bean spots that I think are much better. Now, I believe someone from the family of this place opened El Coqui Cafe right next door. I love El Coqui. (They sell items like the empenadas from Spanish grill) and they cook most of the food there and then carry it over. This place to me is the best new restaurant and they have amazing Cuban sandwiches and treats.

We came here last Sunday to see what Don Andres had to offer - in short, the only thing you should…read moreorder here is the Mari Trio (Seafood trio platter) and smoothies. The Mari trio was a delicious take on 3 Peruvian seafood classics (Jalea, Paella, and ceviche). I always have a hard time choosing if I want Jalea or Paella at restaurants and was so happy to not have to choose here. It is a good portion for $28 and enough for 2 people. Make sure to get this! So I'm struggling to give this place a 3 star review because despite the delicious seafood plate, our other plates were not great. We had lomo salteado, salteado mixto (chicken and beef), chaufa and chicharrones. All of these plates were HEAVY on the soy sauce and all the meats were super over cooked and dry. The chicharron was probably the worst flavor for me, I think maybe they use some type of brine that was not good and it wasn't fried crispy at all. The chaufa was decent but it came out at the VERY end and our party had basically finished most of meals. I don't know if it was a differnt chef that day or what, but not the type of Peruvian flair we are used to. So this seems to be a new place and it was clearly not prepared for 6 people to come at once. I am being empathetic, but our food took a SUPER long time (and there was only 1 other person in the restaurant when we arrived). Second, our server looked annoyed with us most of the time, maybe because I asked a few questions about the menu. Our food then came all out of order, which would be fine if they would've at least had the courtesy of telling us. At the end of our meal I think our server came around and started being a bit nicer, but I don't think I'll be coming back for a bit to dine in. I would absolutely get the Mari Trio to go though!
