Maduros
Crystal L.

It was first time ordering from here and I def did like their Lomo Saltado. Their rice was kinda hard and not enough in the plate. Their Maduros (sweet plantain) were way too greasy and I wasn't a fan of how they were cut or fried. Their green sauce is pretty good too.

Lomo Salteado

The Lomo Saltado was absolutely delicious--tender, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. The portion was generous, easily enough for two people to share. Our server was incredibly sweet from start to finish, making the experience even more enjoyable. Everything came out on time, fresh and hot. Highly recommend! I've already eaten here three times since discovering last month.

Brunch special

Huge selection of authentic Peruvian food, I would recommend the daily specials! Very friendly.

Arroz chaufa and yuca Frita
Belen G.

Delicious. The aji verde sauce is the best I've ever had. I'd buy this sauce in bottles. I got fried yuca and arroz chaufa with shrimp. Completely fulfilled the craving I had for Peruvian fried rice. Huge portion definitely worth the price. One order of rice was 3 servings for me. Also the fried yuca could be multiple servings. Highly recommend.

Whole chicken and fried rice

Los Nisperos is truly a hidden gem in the heart of the South Bronx! Me and my boyfriend Carlos headed out to this culinary destination, after my immunotherapy infusion session ended after 4:30 pm. I've been already craving Peruvian food for several days, especially for ceviche and yuca frita. As the early evening progressed and it got increasingly colder, I was still hesitant to go that far... It was cold and I was leaning towards a soup. Anyway, long story short, we headed out to Los Nisperos. As soon as we arrived, people were standing before the food counter, waiting for takeout. As soon as we took our coats off, and we sat, we were greeted by a polite waitress. Although the restaurant is small, it was nicely decorated with pictures frames up on their walls, which gave it a much more cozy, homey feel. We had a can of ginger ale each. There was a small plate of Peruvian toasted corn kernels. I had the tiradito, which is a Peruvian-style chicken rice soup. It was a very delicious dish; arrived piping hot at the table, with a lime wedge. Carlos had 1/4 rotisserie chicken, rice, beans. We shared the shrimp ceviche, with a side order of yuca frita and also an order of fried squid. This establishment is very down to basics; it's a hole-in-the-wall joint that truly delivers a flavorful punch. The rotisserie chicken was delicious, very juicy. We also enjoyed the fried calamari. It came with a dipping sauce. I believe, by the taste, that it was ginger-based, with a slight touch of honey. I must say, that the highlight of our dinner, was the shrimp ceviche. They were plump, perfectly marinated in its citrus juice. It also came in a crispy bed of lettuce, and the classic, red pickled onions. The best part of this dish, was the citrus marinade or as they call it, leche de tigre, tiger's milk...I really wished I had a spoon to drink all that flavorful leche de tigre! It was so good!!! Carlos looked at me like, "wow, you really are hungry, don't you?" I wiped clean every single plate. I almost cried when the waitress took the plate with the tiger's milk! The calamari platter also came with a bed of crispy lettuce. Next time, there will be room for desert! Overall, we were very satisfied. Excellent food, simple decor, and great service. I would never thought of such a great place to eat, in the South Bronx! The staff are very polite. The Spanish music is great, not loud at all. Their customer's restroom is CLEAN AND SPOTLESS. It's a definite plus. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. I've been contemplating at the thought of returning soon. It also will be great to keep exploring this side of town, especially as the weather gets warmer. The portions are great. Not too big, not too small. They are perfect. This place is great for dinner with family and friends. Come on in hungry, and leave a very happy camper! Guaranteed.

shrimp in garlic sauce served with fried yucca mmmm
Chloe C.

I'm moving to this neighborhood in a few weeks and my friend suggested we have lunch at La Granja Peruvian Restaurant. I can see how this restaurant might be a big problem for me and a bigger problem for my pants. As others have stated, this place has the feel of a cheaper Pio Pio. That is both excellent and true news! My only gripes before we get to the good parts: beans were a little bland, whereas everything else was extremely flavorful; and when dining in, they don't offer you water...We'll work on that in my future visits. This is a super casual spot, with an open kitchen behind the counter and everything is fresh and made-to-order, so don't expect to get your food in 10-15 minutes if you have multiple dishes. Note: They have a baked chicken lunch special that comes with rice and beans, offered Monday through Friday. Shrimp in garlic sauce, delicious and served with fried yucca. I ordered rice and beans and an order of maduros (sweet plaintains), plus their yummy garlic sauce. Their famed sauce has a lot more heat than the one at other Peruvian places, which I appreciate, BUT also is not nearly as garlicky, and I think that's probably more important. Everything we tried here was amazing--see photos-- and it was a challenge, but we managed to eat everything we ordered. Stuffed, satisfied, and so happy to be moving a few blocks away this month!

Our wonderful NY Day meal.

Food is good but they add their own tip of $15 for a table of 3. Won't return again because of this.

Entering this restaurant, there is a darkness that I was very aware of and the bar is to the right…read more The main dining room is downstairs and it was to my liking that it was well lit. We had been to the Pio Pio location, part of a chain, in Jackson Heights, but the vibe here is entirely different. Less loud and more relaxed. Our server was good and efficient. Our group was 7 adults, but on a Saturday night, there were families with youngsters. Our orders all came as expected. The calamari came from large bodied squid. It was nicely cooked with the right tenderness. The rotisserie chicken is good and consistent. Sangria was tasty and with a nice kick to it. Overall a nice crowd pleasing meal.

Must try: Limeno Ceviche, Lomo Saltado, and Juanita's Chicken!…read more Why: Everything we had was delicious! This place hit the spot after a couple hours of pickleball. Loved the ceviche packed with flavor and textures. Lomo Saltado also hit the spot with tender and juicy filet mignon slices. Love the chicken with green sauce. We ordered a whole chicken to share but ended up only eating half of chicken so I took home the leftover with green sauce and enjoyed the next day. We washed our meal down with refreshing Peruvian beer. Note: When you walk in and pass the bar, you are met with a beautifully decorated room with high ceilings making it feel spacious. Clean restaurant with many tables for small and large parties. Hostess and waiters were all friendly, helpful, and attentive. Yes, it's more expensive but we felt the portions were fairly large. They also have a lunch combo special for $15 that I need to come back and try!

La Pulperia offers all-you-can-drink mimosas for $40 or their brunch cocktails for $60 for a 90-minute sitting. I had the all-you-can-drink cocktails and my glass was never empty. The staff was great and very attentive - they would check in before bringing a new drink, but it was never long before it was delivered. The food was also delicious. We started with guacamole and corn & manchego empanadas. The guacamole was obviously fresh, and the empanadas were hot and cheesy. I had the Pulled Pork Tostada - it came with two eggs on top of beans, tortillas, and tender pulled pork. My mom had the burger, and it was cooked to perfection and huge. My aunt had the Market Salad with Skirt Steak, and she raved about the steak. Now the show - the show was AMAZING! The queens were engaging, and their dance moves were unreal! It was one of the best drag shows I have ever seen! It would get a 20 out of 10 if that were possible. What a great experience, it was one of the highlights of our trip.
