The food is good, but a bit pricey for what it is. I ordered steak with rice ($16), and my girlfriend got a fish soup with rice and vegetables ($15). The waitress did not speak English at all, making communication a bit difficult. The fish soup exceeded our expectations. It was very tasty.

Carapulcra de Pollo, como lo hace mi madre!

I don't usually write reviews unless its something really really really delicious or something really really really bad. This case it was too delicious and the service was awesome. I am from Peru and its rare to find good quality food nowadays. The lady in the kitchen reminded me a lot of my mom. I strongly recommend this restaurant. Thank you! Usualmente no escribo a no que el lugar sea demasiado bueno o demasiado malo. En este caso mi experiencia en "Me Sabe A Peru" fue demasiado buena. La comida estuvo super deliciosa y el servicio estuvo excelente. Soy de Peru y hoy en dia es raro encontrar buena comida peruana de calidad. La señora que cocina me hizo recordar a mi madre mucho. Muy buena comida criolla y casera. Lo recomiendo altamente!. Gracias!

Ceviche mixto and Lomo saltado
Kristina F.

This tiny hidden gem has been my go to for almost five years now. I can't believe there is only one review other than mine on here, esp since their always packed. Where do I even start? My favorite dish LOMO SALTADO! I have had Peruvian food in many locations in Paterson the heart of Peruvian food in Nj and they do not compare. The Ceviche mixto is another must if you enjoy fish. Also I recommend Jalea it's a combination of different seafood breaded deep-fried, my mouth is now watery. I'll post some photos I've posted on fb before this review. Another reason to try them weekdays they have lunch specials can of soda, a soup and a meal for $6 kinda hard to believe right?

This is it when it comes to Peruvian food in Hudson county. The place is small, but the dishes are big and delicious.

The lobster and clams were overcooked and came out rubbery. The sauce was bland, no depth or kick to it at all. Was really hoping for better, but it just didn't live up to the hype for me.

this place is terrible! worst seafood boil i've ever had, from the food to the service to the…read moreambience it fails all around. the seafood is low quality and seems old? we ordered snow crab legs and the meat was so shrunken and flavorless that i felt like i was cracking open empty shells the whole time. i ordered the cajun flavor at a level 3 and it was a watery mess, barely delivering any flavor or heat. completely missing actual garlic it tasted like they dumped spices in water instead of butter, so none of the sauce clung to the crab meat. our waitress was very nice but we were the only people dining in the restaurant at the time and about 15 minutes after my husband and I received our food she came by to tell us they didn't have enough crab legs for the remaining 2 orders at our table. I wish she had told us this sooner, as we had to place a new order for my in-laws while we were almost done with our own food. strange that they were out of snow crab legs and dungeness crab so early in the evening and with so few customers. also the restaurant is freezing cold, dingy, and dark, which adds to the over all unpleasant dining experience. definitely skip this place!

I always leave happy and satisfied. The atmosphere and service are also fantastic; they make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. If you want truly delicious food, this is the place! Wow! Arre Sinaloa se ha convertido en uno de mis lugares favoritos. La comida es simplemente espectacular: sabores auténticos, frescos y de una calidad que no encuentras en cualquier parte.

The guac was good but could use a bit more salt, i wish they had chiccarons as chips instead of tortillas but the chips were great so wasn't a big issue. overall though expensive for some pretty average guac in my opinion. the seabass crudo was great, i loved the sauce and the mango went great with it. Super fresh, super tasty. Unfortunately the tacos were a mess, when it arrived the tortillas were so soggy that they were just coming apart, the meat was also falling off and overall the presentation was horrendous. the tacos weren't balanced as well, there were some with too much meat and then some with basically only cheese. overall flavor was not birria im typically use to but it was solid. honestly these tacos are probably the worst tacos i've ever had, for $20 it's a travesty. overall for a place nearby i'd come to get some drinks and the crudo and esquite because those were fantastic. but i'll pass on their tacos hard.

I had never had steamed skate anywhere before so my acquaintance told me that I wouldn't like it because it's "pungent" but I'm so glad I got to try it because I LOVED IT. So savory, flavorful, and packed with umami. Another good thing is their extensive menu. I can't wait to come back to try the rest of their dishes. The interior decor is very nice as well. The high ceilings and black color theme give it an elevated feel. And the staff is very nice and accommodating CONS: their air conditioning was broken when we went in the middle of summer (which I'm sure they'll eventually fix). I didn't mind because I love the heat but my acquaintance was sweating uncomfortably. Also, the food was good and some dishes were great but I wouldn't say it's the "best I ever had." The grilled beltfish was very plain (and bland) until I squeezed lemon juice all over it. It's the type of place that has endless comfort food and is your regular go-to spot (or go to order in) when you feel too lazy or tired to cook (or hungover) rather than a special occasion spot This place is decent and reliable. And everyone needs one of those in their back pocket to lean on.
