Happened to find this place thanks to Yelp. Everything is fresh made, the people were really nice and the food was good excellent! Fries, salad and sides were awesome! Loved this place and will definitely return. read more

Every time I try to order they say they ran out. It's frustrating. I heard the food was great but I can't seem to get any.

Ummm hello? This is my new jam when I'm in town. What?! Real food, seasoned perfectly, and fall off the bone. And wait wait, I can get plantains, near Sussex?! I've been blessed ! Olluco offers homemade bbq, and some extras that will make you happy. The prices are decent too. For me, traveling with the kids is always tough because eventually you need to find real protein.....they can't survive on pizza and hot dogs for very long. We came here and got the chicken and Peruvian fried rice. The rice had great flavor and lots of veggies(peppers, zucchini, etc...). The chicken was seasoned PERFECTLY and so tender, like even the breast was juicy! We also got ribs and they were fall off the bone!! Yes finally, ribs that are seasons with a delicious rub(no need for sauce) and also fall off the bone tender. Yummo!! The place is very shack-esc lol...there's no decor and maybe 2 tables and a bar too. You can dine in but really it's more of a takeout joint, and that's OK! You can also grab drinks from the cold case. No fountain unfortunately. This is my new stop, I HOPE they stay in business so please give them a try my local Sussex friends! read more

Stopped in on a recent Sunday after seeing an amazing sandwich posted on a Sandwich Lovers page. Unfortunately it was a Special and nothing on the regular menu was like it. Small deli-like place with a few tables owned by a very nice, friendly couple. Plenty of non -alcoholic drinks ( cans & bottles) in a refrigerator wall. Parking in front and right on Route 23. One unisex bathroom. Typical BBQ road-stand with some Spanish influences. Portions large with ok pricing for these days. --Pork ribs ( approx 7-8 on a 1\2 rack) fell off the bone; good flavor, nice smoke ring; however they were obviously smoked earlier and reheated for me which dried out the top portion a little. --Pulled Pork sandwich with cole slaw and crispy onions was ok, but again, pulled pork a little dried out due to reheating/ --Mac & Cheese was very good. Breadcrumbs on top; Portion is plenty for 2 hungry people as a side. I recommend to try it; Not a lot of restaurant options in that area other than fast food. read more

Olluco Bistro - 1/2 rack smoked pork ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Franklin, New Jersey

The food is absolutely delicious! I have ordered a couple of times and the food has never disappointed. The skewers were amazing, the rice is tasty and the Cuban sandwich is great! Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. read more

Finally! I have finally found a good to place near home. I am 3 for 3 here. Every visit...outstanding! I stopped by the day they opened and picked up their breakfast sandwich, loved it. Loved the cheeses melted on the roll, the amount and cook on the pork roll and the flavor of the entire sandwich. Second visit...vegetable fried rice, Crispy Chicken BLT Sandwich, Pulled Pork and the Brisket. The fried rice was great, my wife got the BLT (I fortunately got a part of it) which was also super. I am a huge BBQ fan and this met my standards. The Pulled Pork was flavorful and juicy. The Brisket was spot on! Great smoky flavor, nice bark and great seasoning. I asked for the fatty cut and loved it. The included sides were great as well. Visit three...Olluco Burger and the Cuban Sandwich. My wife got the burger. The bites I got (stole) were excellent. The bacon, the cheese, the red onion jam (COME ON!) and the flavor of the hand formed patty made for a great burger. The Cuban, oh that Cuban! Was the best Cuban I have had. The combo of the entire mix of items on this was spot on. The hand cut fries are out of this world. Don't miss this place! read more

Food is fresh, homemade and simply delicious. We come from Milford, PA - that's how good the food is! The only negative is- call before you make a trip to make sure they are open. You will not be disappointed!! read more

I stopped by on a whim. Wanted lunch and I was out. Ordered the Cuban Sandwich, side salad and a soda. They cook as you order. So maybe order ahead. The roll was delicious and the Swiss cheese, ham, and pork loin were embellished mustard and pickles. It was so good. Crispy and pressed. There are 3 tables. It is cozy inside and great as a carry out. Next time, I'll try the BBQ Brisket. It comes recommended. read more

I always start with the positives if there are any...and this place DEF has positives. First of all, the food is OUTSTANDING. Arroz Chaufa with Beef is the BEST I have ever had...servings are PLENTIFUL, beef is top quality and SUPER tender, ALWAYS served hot and fresh, in costly vented containers. Great for reuse later on. We have ordered the empanadas-beef and chicken-NEVER dried out, always moist and tender. The sides are worth the extra $, especially the maduros, baked beans, and mac n cheese (unless you're super-picky). I can't say enough about the quality and quantity of the food. Also there are plenty of bottled/canned drinks to choose from AND some postres also! CALL AHEAD for your order as it takes TIME to prepare. You will wait a longggg time if you just walk in! Parking is a bit dicey and you're swooping in off busy Route 23. Location is easy to miss-look for the smoker outside!!!! Last, but certainly NOT least, customer service is EVERYTHING. And depending on who it is, you might be offended...the younger ones CAN BE rude on the phone and in person. This has happened several times-chalk it up to their age (maybe lol). But the owner-completely awesome and engaging. If you've never eaten here you have to give it a shot and you won't be disappointed. Happy eating! read more

Hands down the best bbq in the area. We've tried just about everything on their menu now and you can't go wrong no matter what you decide on. The Cuban sandwich was the best I've ever had, the ribs are out of this world. Amazing spot!! Can't recommend enough! read more

What a treat! Great tasting and authentic. Their fried chicken is delicious as well as their Peruvian chicken. Great service and friendly!

Blown away by the authenticity of this establishment. The Cuban is pressed to perfection and the empanada was seasoned exactly how it should be. Please stop by and try them out if in the area. read more

I was leaving a conference at a resort in the area where we had very mediocre food and was in search of some good food before heading home. My friend and I found this place online and decided to stop for lunch and were so glad we found this place! Everything we ate was amazing. We split the lemon pepper wings and each got the Cuban sandwich. This was the best Cuban I've ever had. The owner was prepping flan for a pickup order while we were eating, it looked so good that we decided to get one too. It was incredible. The owners were so nice and the service was great. read more

By far the best Cuban sandwich i have ever tried. I went with my family and we also had a fantastic steak sandwich and pork belly sandwich. More importantly the owners are good people and were very kind to us. I would highly recommend their business and if you're in the area give them a try. Looking forward to going back to get their BBQ. read more

Chose the Cuban sandwich due to the reviews. Does not disappoint and simply awesome. We lived in LA and the famous Cuban bakery was Portos with a good Cuban sandwich. Olluco's Cuban was easily much better. Bread is often the downfall for a Cuban, but this was on point and the meats were juicy and flavorful. We shall return! read more

I would pass by this place at work, and finally got around to visiting it! So the interior could use some sprucing up, and it's not exactly a place to dine in (...yet!) but I was surprised to discover how amazing the food tasted! 1st thing I ordered off the menu was a slow smoked brisket (1/2 lb) on top of sofrito rice, w/ BBQ sauce on the side. I was blown away by how flavorful and tender it was! I didn't even need a knife! I am definitely coming back! Can't wait to try the ribs, pulled chicken pork, and Cuban sandwich! read more

Based on recommendation seen in Nextdoor, ventured out to Olluco Bistro for lunch. They opened March 1st and offer a Smoked BBQ / Peruvian Fusion menu....everything fresh and homemade Presently, mostly take-out....we tried smoked chicken wings, and Empanadas...both were great, nicely sized portions and fairly priced. Afterward we had an opportunity to speak with Chef Brian and his wife, Maggie and were able to watch the Smoked ribs come off the grill. Nice people trying to make it work...based on our short visit there, there seems no reason why they will not be very successful. https://ollucobistro.com/ read more

Great local spot for pick up. Have tried Most of the menu by now. Everything has been good. Have no complaints. Has really turned into my local go to. read more

Olluco Bistro - Pulled pork - Barbeque Near Me - Franklin, New Jersey

My 8 year old son said the pulled pork sandwich was the best sandwich he has ever had. The ribs were perfection. I was recently in Memphis and these beat anything i had there. Maduros, sweet potato fries and regular fries were great as well. Staff were friendly and love that it's a family business. We were at Mountain Creek and were happy to find this place on our way home. If yiu have the time it's worth calling your order in because everything is made fresh so it will take a little time. read more

Excellent!!! Okay, I am not a fan of BBQ but I have been converted. The brisket was sooooo Good. I'm am super picky about food too. The rice was delicious. You need to try the rice and mac & cheese. The steak skewers with a sauce that is amazing. The place only has two tables and a countertop. So if you're planning to eat there, you may have to wait. But the table seems to turn over quickly so if you just wait a little bit, you'll probably get a seat. The owners are lovely. Truly, a hidden gem in Sussex County. read more

Best Food I've had in a while. Their BBQ spare ribs are tender, enjoyable, and easy to eat. I strongly recommend trying these people's food because they opened not too long ago. The workers and boss are very polite and respectful. Customer Service - 5 stars Food- 5 stars I will go to their food place again. read more

Decided to stop by this weekend after all of the positive reviews and excited about a new place. We ordered brisket, buffalo wings, fries and Mac and cheese. The wings were salty with very little buffalo sauce. The brisket was overly salty as well. The only descent item was the Mac and cheese. This new place is a disappointment. read more

I had slow smoked brisks. Only take out is available. But it is so juicy and tender. Price is also reasonable. Definitely I am coming back for this taste. Wonderful place in this area. read more

We finally had a chance to order from here and OMG it was worth the wait! Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious!!! We ordered a bit of everything and not one thing disappointed! Not a huge fan of pulled pork because it's usually dry or drenched in BBQ sauce, but I'm a huge fan of theirs!! This was moist and delicious. Highly recommend Olluco Bistro if you haven't yet - you will not be disappointed!! So happy to have such an amazing restaurant in the area! read more

Great steak sandwich and fries! Highly recommend! Fresh gourmet food! It is definitely worth the trip.
