Simply delicious food! The restaurant is adorable and the service is exceptional We loved it both times we dined at this place. Had to give them a review because this is a hidden gem. BYOB is a bonus.

Whole snapper!!!

We are consistently impressed and in love with this place. From the chilled ceviche plates, to the fresh, tender seafood dishes, this is the place to make your own. Individually decorated rooms and a lovely owner/hostess create the ultimate neighborhood dining experience. Diana is an amazing human who is not only a young, successful, female business owner, but she is truly creative, warm and interested in spreading goodness. Get your ass here, soon. Thank me later

Really cool, hip spot in Caldwell for good Peruvian food. Our server knew exactly what to recommend as well when we asked about the specials, entrees, and appetizers. We had ceviche as a appetizer as well as some Maduros and they were quite tasty. I really enjoyed my main entree which was a Mofongo saltado which adds a nice Dominican fusion/flair to it. For dessert I went with the flan and espresso and I feel like you can't go wrong with that choice. My friends had the tres leches and they mentioned it was super tasty too. Not too many seats in the restaurant so make sure to call ahead and make a reservation.

A very romantic environment. The 2nd floor placement gives it a Speakeasy aesthetic which makes it great for date nights. If you are a bit shy about trying something new, the staff and owner are very friendly with helping you pick out something you like. It's now my 5th time here in the past 3 months and I've loved every dish had. My number one tip is to ask about their specials. It's on a board and constantly hanging which gives a good variety and keeps the experience from becoming stale. I highly recommend giving this place a try. It's smaller so safest bet for me has been calling and making a sameday reservation rather than walking in.

Calamar
Venessa M.

After a successful escape room with the family and a good family friend, we tried authentic Peruvian cuisine at Sabor Peru to celebrate. The entrance is deceiving, as you head upstairs to the top floor, you are welcomed by a warm, inviting, home-like feel atmosphere which surprisingly fits several tables for diners. Quaintly decorated with various cultural artifacts and warm colors. The staff was also very friendly and hospitable. We tried the Calamar, assorted appetizer platter (Camarones Coco, Papa Rellena, and Huancaina), Churrasco, Mar y Tiera, Chicken Soup, A La Plancha, and Arroz Con Marisco. Everything wad delicious!

Tallarines Verde con Apanados
Lauren N.

This place is a must-try in Caldwell. The interior is colorful and the layout reminds me of being in someone's apartment with the various rooms- definitely a homey feeling. To start we tried the beef empanadas, which were crispy and flavorful, and the calamari which tasted fresh and was served with 2 dipping sauces. The green sauce was our favorite- it was so good, we asked for extra for our calamari plus some to sprinkle on our entrees (we're sauce people, what can we say?). For my entree I got the tallarines verde with steak. I asked for my steak well-done (medical reasons) and it was cooked perfectly- well but not too overdone, not too mention the portion was huge. The pesto pasta was creamy and bright. Delicious food, great service and atmosphere- not to mention BYO- in a sea of restaurants on Bloomfield Ave, Sabor Peru is definitely worth a stop.

Lima Special
Sitara S.

This restaurant is very easy to miss if you do not know about it. When you first enter it's as if you're entering someone's home as it was an apartment turned into a restaurant. Each room has a couple of tables varying in sizes for the different party sizes. It's a very picturesque spot and the ambiance is very comforting. I went with a party of 7 and we had a number of their Lima special along with the polla a lo pobre. The place is also byo so you can enjoy with your own choice of drink. I highly recommend if you're in the area. The prices are also affordable!

The only thing this place has going for this their ambiance. It's very cute. And if I could give them no stars I would! The food has little to no flavor and we had to ask for salt several times; it took over 20 minutes for salt. I asked for an extra fork and that fork never came. After waiting for over 25 minutes, I grabbed a fork from a neighboring table or I would have never been able to eat my food. We ordered huancaina and the potatoes were microwaved for too long and the sauce was poured over them and it was thinned out. The Tacu tacu was severed with bistec encebollado instead of plain like it was listed in the menu. If you are going to serve food a certain way, it's must be listed in the menu. Eggs for bistec a lo pobre were black from being fried in the same pan or area as the steak. They had to send back. All food needs salt and more flavor. Subpar to say the least. Bring your own salt packets if you still want to try this place. Our server was Julia. Very rude once issues were brought up to her. Slammed everything on the table afterward. Needs retraining or a new job.

I would have never found this place. Thanks for the referral. Tucked away on the second floor it feels like you're at a friends home. The staff is excellent and the music sets the mood. We needed a night out and were pleasantly surprised. The menu has a great selection as I was able to find several items that suited my food allergies. Our server was mindful and attentive. Such a great value for the quality. We are so coming back. I have invited my friends and family to check it out. As for parking, we found street parking at a meter. BYOB- There is a liquor store next door with a large selection. The only negative that I find about this place are the stairs. I didn't see an elevator so I do not know if it is handicapped accessible. If you have difficulties with stairs - this may not be an option.

Our new favorite Peruvian restaurant! They have plenty of vegan/vegetarian options what is a plus for us since half of my family is vegetarian. I love their ceviche and my kids enjoyed the tres leches. We have been here a couple of times and the only thing I wasn't crazy about was the yucca a la huancaina. Excellent ceviche!

Chicken empanadas and bowl seafood soup
Emery G.

Dinned in for lunch on a weekday. Very quiet spot, makes it feel comfortable and home-y. Server was very attentive even though there were only two other guests. I ordered the seafood soup and two chicken empanadas. Sadly the empanadas were lacking in flavor and texture in the filling. The breading was so perfect though, so crispy, it was just the inside that was lacking and the inside is everything. The soup had a good mixture of flavor between the seafood broth and herbs. They were dancing together to make a harmonious taste. The seafood in the soup though was chewy and I'm sure it was bc it's sitting in hot broth just cooking. Could have been executed better but it still tasted good.

Skirt steak with seafood. Don't remember the name but it was recommended to me. Absolutely delicious

See all

We settled on splitting one savory and one sweet brunch dish We ordered ginger-lemograss tea and coffee ahead of the tres leches pancakes and the short rib juevos rancheros. The dishes came out quickly and beautifully presented. The egg was perfectly fluffy and complimented the melty delicious short rib. It's one of those dishes that gets even more delicious as you eat it. The meal was perfectly balanced, made with fresh, high quality ingredients. The chef was back there doin his thing! The pancakes were fluffy came topped with blueberries and strawberries, and a generous carafe of dulce de leche. I was worried that it might be a little sweet, but again this dish was perfectly balanced and flavorful. We will definitely make a trip back for brunch in the near future.

We got their Huevos Rancheros, roasted chicken, tuna chaufa and lomo saltado. everything was great - good portions and beautiful flavors! Especially loved their Earl Grey latte too. the flavors of tea and espresso were very well balanced I would love to get that drink again. Also got their smores cookie for a nice sweet ending. We ended up chatting away even after we dined. Staff was very polite reminding us they needed the spot and was also kind enough to give us a some time even before the reminder. Would definitely recommend this place!

The salsa music in the background gave it a nice touch as we enjoy a great appetizers and plentiful meals with phenomenal flavor. Highly suggested to try any of their wide range of plates, including the soups, ceviche, and fish dishes, and classic lomo and steak plates. The salad, including the mango and avocado salad was a hit, especially with the red onion. The only downside is we came on a Tuesday afternoon and the kitchen was understaffed so the food came out a little bit slow. However, everything was hot and still tasted amazing so we really didn't mind waiting for a little bit while catching up. The space is a small restaurant in a shopping plaza and will not easily accommodate parties larger than six. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area and are looking for an upscale twist to classic Peruvian cuisine.

I made a reservation and they've respected my request to be seated inside. The atmosphere inside is very vivid, like the name of the restaurant... it feels like you are in a party. My only wish is that they would play Peruvian music so the experience would be more immersive with the food. The menu is big and one of the things that I've liked was to see a lot of dishes that are not common in a Peruvian Restaurant outside Perú... like Aji de Gallina, Anticuchos and Picarones. Now the most important, the food... the quality was very good, since the plates arrived to our table, the smell and the presentation was a temptation to go all the way in. The ingredients used felt fresh and made to order. Every plate had its own characteristic and flavour... good size too. The "choco lucuma" cake for dessert was a great finish... moisty and the intensity of the chocolate and lucuma flavor to a good ratio. If you have the chance to try it... go for it, you'll not regret.

The place is at the same location where previously a Thai restaurant was and it has the option of stairs or a ramp for those with disabilities as well as an awning that's inviting and protects from rain. Now once you enter the restaurant is really clean with a modern leaf wall and the Nueva Hispana restaurant name in a neon sign. Lots of mirrors on the walls give the place a feel that is bigger as well as large windows. Large TV with salsa music playing. The service was very good and fast we ordered a $15.50 Milanese chicken breast (chicken cutlet) with French fries (they were really crispy and freshly made!) with a side salad in a tasty dressing. We also ordered Pescado a lo macho ( a traditional Peruvian dish of fish filet with seafood in a creamy sauce) with a side of yuca and salad for around $21-23. Overall the sauces were really tasty place is modern and clean with linen napkins, not paper, and good service worth stopping by and trying some delicious Peruvian food.

That said, my experience was not great. The TV was loud when we arrived, and the music coming from the kitchen competed with it, making conversation difficult. I asked for the TV to be turned down, and they did, but when a young kid came in later, the hostess turned The Flintstones up loud again, so once again it was hard to hear each other. More importantly, we clearly marked "no eggs" on the menu and told the waitress about an egg allergy, but the chicken fried rice still came with egg. After we pointed it out, with the menu I had written on still at the counter, the dish was taken back and returned with bits of egg still in it, which made it seem like the egg had just been hand picked out instead of the dish being remade. Also, ask for tap water unless you want to be charged for bottled Poland Spring. Overall, the food was decent, but the noise and the way the egg issue was handled made for a disappointing visit.
