    3/30/2020 so after telling the waitress several times because I just didnt want to give up. Yes, The food is that good. They finally got it right. Now our food comes together. Our drinks are on point and the waitress checks up on us. The chicken here is slammin good. I want to give them a shout out for staying open thru the Corona. My husband picked up food to go and they were cautious, clean, and fast. They have really hard workers her and I appreciate them so much. I highly recommend this place. Portions are generous and price is on point. Im thinking of catering a gathering once COV 19 is over. I love EL PALACIO!! Stay safe everyone.

    We decided to have lunch here today and I'm so glad we did! Our favorite Peruvian spot to eat is Pio Pio in NYC. Given were Jersey natives now, we have to make the best of our new environment. We found this place based on the reviews. PROS: - we were instantly greeted and seated - our orders were taken immediately - our hostess was friendly and polite - our food was fresh! From the avocado salad to the seafood fried rice we ordered CONS: - the only con would be the parking. The area is extremely narrow and tight. I would definitely recommend this place for those who enjoy Latin cuisine! Oh! And they only serve chicken Thursday through Sunday (not a pro or con...just a fact).

    Nice place!

    I really want to give them 3.5 stars, but service was very slow and the margarita was watery. Unassuming place that is on the corner with hardly any parking. But the chicken is really tasty. We ordered the family meal and it came with roasted chicken, sauces, rice and beans and bread. The chicken, the chicken! The crust was seared and crunchy and the meat was juicy and good. I loved it. The green sauce was a little spicy and I made sure my granddaughter did not try it. Very good chicken. We ordered traditional margaritas but they only had mango. So we gave them a whirl. They were watery and were not that good. No tequila taste at all. The service was so slow. Our waitress was nice and several times when I went to the restroom she was eating at the bar and talking to an older lady. Family owned restaurants can be like that sometimes. Overall I would go back because the chicken is worth it and the prices. Our bill came to $40 for five! That is almost free!

    The Best Rotisserie Chicken. Only avail Thurs-Sun.

    I've been into Peruvian cuisine recently.. and looking for the best Peruvian Rotisserie chicken out there and I believe it's here and only available Thursday through Sunday. There I said it. I wasn't sure I wanted to share this newfound secret because the place is already busy with people lined up getting the chicken for takeout AND people ordering the chicken at EVERY table but it's THAT good. If you are in Jersey, it's a must try. From the outside, the restaurant looks small but when you enter, it's actually much larger than I imagined that it would be. We ordered Lomo Saltado, 1/2 Rotisserie chicken with salad and fries and also the Parihuela. The Lomo Saltado was perfectly seasoned with perfectly crispy fries and warm hot rice. The Parihuela soup was filled with mussels, shrimp, calamari and one large crab claw but I think they missed adding the fish. Nonetheless, we didn't notice we were missing the fish since the soup was hearty without it and we didn't realize there was supposed to be fish until the end. We will need a retry if this next time. Now to the star of the meal, the chicken. OMG! The skin was nice and crisp, yes crisp but when you dig into the chicken it was tender, juicy and flavorful. The green hot sauce was very good with a little heat that kicks in a seconds later. They brought another red sauce for me to try which they said was very hot which I mixed with my green hot sauce. The mix was perfect for me but I'm sure it won't be for the faint of heart. The pros: THE CHICKEN, very flavorful, great service, loved the Peruvian beer too! The cons: THE PARKING.. go early so you can park on their small lot although there's street parking, parking is very hard to find Go early for immediate seating, they got busy with full tables and lots of take out orders. Can't wait to come back. WE WILL BE BACK.

    I have been going to Palacio for about 1-2 times weekly two+ years now. What started as an occasional after-work quick stop has turned into a long-term comfort regular. After these two recent experiences, my appreciation for them grew bigger... Recently for my birthday, I was deciding between two restaurants to have 13, non-Hispanic family members for a celebratory dinner. For three weeks I was asked from Grandma (whose less-than-adventurous palette hails from N. Carolina), "Where will we be eating? I know you eat that weird stuff. Will there be something for me to eat?" (of course, by "weird" we mean: sushi, or anything from a restaurant with a menu in a second language.) Grandma is only ONE of our finicky eaters. From 16months to 76+ years old, ALL THIRTEEN guests were clearing their plates of ALL FOUR dishes selected for the table: * Ensalada de (avocado salad) * Arroz Con Mariscos (seafood rice) * Pollo con Fritas (rotisserie chick + fries) * Tres Leche (cake with three milks) Total cost (for 16ppl): less than $200. A week ago I invited a date to try Palacio. Unlike my Grandma, having traveled internationally quite a bit, my date's palette is used many "weird" tastes. One thing to note, however, is that he is also a very good cook, can be highly critical of lack-luster food, and has a true obsession with jabonero peppers (aka he likes EVERYTHING spicy-- really spicy). For the main dish I ordered a Mixed Seafood Stew, which he thoroughly enjoyed (without "doctoring up") and was even impressed with their spicy Peruvian green sauce! We also had avocado salad, tres leche, and sangria :) MY TIPS: Try this place and the above mentioned dishes-- they are cost efficient, always fresh, and have NEVER failed me. Clean, professional, casual, low-key, family friendly with plenty of seating. Reservations are usually unnecessary. ***Great place with good company. For so-so company, the ambience could be much more interesting. ****If you don't speak any Spanish, ask for Jorge (manager), or point to the menu.

The rest of our party arrived within five minutes, and while waiting we had a very pleasant conversation. Michael ended up serving us as well, and his attentiveness truly elevated the entire experience. We were seated in a large dining room down a few steps, a space typically used for large parties and events. Since it was the Sunday between Christmas and New Year's, the room was set with four-top tables. We were able to choose our table, which offered a great view of South Orange--something that most tables in this beautifully designed restaurant seem to enjoy. The restaurant is BYOB, and one member of our party brought a bottle of red wine. Giorgio's provided attractive, proper wine glasses, which was a nice touch. For appetizers, we shared the Caprese and Calamari Fritti--both excellent. I ordered one of the specials: bone-in pork chops topped with blue cheese over mushroom risotto. Simply outstanding. Others in our party ordered the Chicken Parmigiana with penne vodka sauce and the mushroom ravioli, and they enjoyed their meals just as much as I did. After dinner, two of us had cappuccinos and one had regular coffee. I ordered the chocolate mousse cake, another guest chose the cheesecake, and everyone thoroughly enjoyed dessert and coffee. Overall, it was an extremely enjoyable evening in a wonderful restaurant with a great location, inviting atmosphere, outstanding service, and excellent food. By the time we left, the restaurant had filled up with what appeared to be many locals and repeat customers--always a great sign.

The kind of confidence that doesn't announce itself, it just delivers. Then there's the crema de cilantro and aji, which basically tag team your taste buds and ask, "You good?" Yes. I'm great. Mind your business. This is not a, "Instagram made me do it" sandwich. This is a composed, disciplined, shut up and eat sandwich. Every ingredient is there on purpose. No freeloaders. The owner is a Peruvian chef who lived in Canada and now cooks in New Jersey, which explains why this sandwich has flavor, restraint, and zero patience for mediocrity. This isn't fusion, it's life experience on bread. Fair warning: eating this will ruin weaker sandwiches for you. You'll start asking questions. You'll judge more. You'll be disappointed elsewhere.
