Small, family-run place. Pretty sure it's currently the only Peruvian restaurant in Sunset Park -…read moreweird, right ? There used to be a few, but apparently, the others closed. Only 1 person was manning the front counter / register, the phone, & serving as waitstaff. They were overwhelmed, & the service was laughably slow - it was dinner time on a Fri PM tho. That all being said - the food was off the hook. Best fried rice I've had outside of SE Asia. Incredible ceviche. Homemade purple yam drink that tastes like Jamaican sorrel. Awesome Peruvian soup. But menu - too many things to try! Only drawback - no beer / wine. Was hoping for a michelada. I'm sure theirs would be off the hook if they made them.

I was hesitant to order from this place, the reviews on here are SOOOOO mixed in opinion I almost…read moredecided not to. Google however, had pretty decent ratings so I decided to give them a shot. According to my Ubereats account, I ordered from one of their other locations in Bensonhurst, so if you can't get to Sunset there are other options. I was in the mood for something super simple, Pollo a la Brasa with some salad. So obv I wasn't trying to spend an arm and a leg. Compared to other Peruvian spots I was looking at, their pricing was another pro, $7.50 for 1/2 chicken and $3 for a small salad. Perfect for just me. The chicken itself was the best I've had in THIS vicinity. If you look at my reviews, I've tried two other spots that missed the mark. It was seasoned well, didn't have to add anything to it. The breast was a liiiiiiiiittle dry but I did pop it in the oven to warm up so definitely not a dealbreaker. The salad was also very refreshing and they sent a simple but tasty vinaigrette with it. The reason this review is 3 stars instead of 4 is because they had the audacity to send me ONE and ONLY ONE measly container of Aji Verde that literally wasn't even halfway full. And the crazy thing is I saw other reviews mention that exact same thing and figured they'd fix those mistakes by now. I was obviously wrong. The cup they sent the vinaigrette in was bigger than what they sent for a HALF CHICKEN. So it's not like they don't have the proper containers, they just clearly don't care to change it. I was so mad, especially because the sauce was good! I had to sit there and ration it out so that I could make it last. I didn't think that was cool at all and tbh I probably won't order again, there's no way I'm paying extra for something that's supposed to go with the meal.

Came here on a Friday 7pm to celebrate a birthday, and I definitely recommend making reservations…read more One thing to note: if your birthday friend or family member doesn't enjoy being the center of attention, this may not be the ideal birthday spot. They go all out with candles, music, and the whole restaurant clapping and celebrating with you. The atmosphere is lively and energetic, though it can get quite loud, making it a little difficult to hear. I'd be curious to try lunch next time for a more relaxed experience. The staff were all friendly and welcoming throughout the meal. What we ordered: *Hot Octopus appetizer - Nice flavor, but a bit chewy for my taste. *Empanadas - Both the chicken and beef versions were delicious, especially paired with their addictive green sauce. * Grilled steak with fried egg - Packed with flavor and one of my favorite dishes of the night. *Roast chicken - You really can't go wrong here, especially the thigh meat with that green sauce. *Shrimp fried rice - Delicious! Shrimp was lighlty battered and the rice was very flavorful. Unfortunately, they had run out of the tres leches cake. I wouldn't recommend the chocolate cake, as it was a bit dry. The flan, however, was fresh and delicious, especially if you prefer a firmer-style flan. Overall, I'm happy to have a Peruvian restaurant in Bay Ridge and look forward to coming back to try more of the menu. IG: Jubes111 Youtube: JujubiFam

Simply put, this place restored my faith in Hispanic cuisine. Here, I realised how magically…read moredelicious Hispanic cuisine could be. Yes, it was the food that ultimately was the star, but I think the stars just aligned for a great experience. The shop was charming like those Australian cafes I'm most familiar with, and we really enjoyed having the constant stream of passers by barely 5 feet from us, since we sat at the small round yellow table for two right by the entrance. The fact that we weren't bothered so much by how long the food took to come out is a testament to both how amazing their food was and how much we enjoyed the ambience. First off, I'm so getting the Spanish paella next time. We settled for arroz con pollo, extra cilantro rice, plaintains, and sopa de pollo. - Arroz con pollo: fall-off-the-bone tender half roasted chicken, amazingly aromatic and flavourful yellow rice, soft juicy black beans...and for the first time, I learned that cooked plantains could be creamy, and their mango salsa even took it up a notch. Their cilantro rice was wonderfully zesty. 5/5 - Sopa de pollo: even the white meat chicken here was unbelievably tender, and I kept marveling at how chock-full the soup was - the avocado (yes, it worked), yucca, cilantro, and the refreshingly light broth... 5/5 Given how busy they were, the staff did a good job of keeping his cool, and I'm counting down the days to try their paella.

My friend and I ordered the pulled chicken bowl with shrimp and the salmon bowl and they were both…read moredelicious. We devoured them and left no leftovers. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the food was and a bowl was perfect because it was not too heavy, it was just right. And the cheese on the rice was definitely something new. The only critique that we have about our order is that we ordered 3 empanadas, 2 beef and 1 plantain and cheese but instead we got 3 plantain and cheese empanadas so Uber had to refund us the money for the empanadas. We were really looking forward to the beef and we ordered the empanadas separately, not as a trio, to avoid any mistakes; yet whoever took the order made the mistake anyway. Despite this error, the food was amazing, and I look forward to eating from there again in the future

This was their recommendation:…read more The steak was extremely tough and rubbery--I could barely cut it with the knife. The staff noticed I was struggling and kindly offered to make me another one. I appreciated the effort, but the second steak was just as tough. It looked like a different cut, but it was still nearly impossible to chew. To their credit, they gave me a discount, which I appreciated. However, I still ended up paying for food I couldn't eat. I left hungry and had to go somewhere else for lunch after spending about 50 minutes there. The service was polite, but the quality of the meat was unacceptable, especially for a restaurant that promotes itself as one of the best.

The place is nicely decorated inside but kind of small. There might have been some tables in the back but didn't really notice it. Ordered a bunch of different things but everything tasted great. Wifey absolutely loved the pad see ew with beef. The chive pancakes and calamari were delish. The spring rolls were typical but tasted good. And I enjoyed the Thai iced coffee. Sister ordered a chicken dish and I can't recall the name. It took the longest to arrive cuz of prep. But the chicken had great flavor and personally didnt need any of the side sauces on it. Service was quick and friendly. No issues at all whatsoever. Wouldn't mind coming back if I'm in the area.

The driver delivers whatever is packed; if the wrong food is in the bag, that's on the restaurant. We ordered Cornish hen, pad krapow with chicken, and mango salad. Instead, we received two soggy, disappointing dishes: pad Thai and pad kee mao with chicken. Timeline: * Ordered at 7:15 PM * Food arrived at 8:00 PM -- wrong items * Called right away, then they told us they would call back. Then they told us "Sorry, the kitchen is closing, you'll get a refund from Uber Eats." That's it. No attempt to fix the order, no effort to remake the food, no accountability -- just passing the problem off. Mistakes happen, but how you handle them matters. This was handled poorly and really disappointing. Do better, Jintama.
