The fried rice was very good, but I could not eat much because it was salty to me. Also, the fries were good, but I would get them on the side next time, because I don't like my fries soggy. The service was great. They pre-added a tip to a party of 2. I will not return. There was only a very small amount of beef. Not worth the price.

Patient and ready to answer all of our questions. For appetizers, we had the ceviche flight, trio uches, and a dish that layered potato and chicken. Absolute favorite was the ceviche, such a fresh and flavorful dish! The others delivered in the flavor department as well but I'm a sucker for ceviche. For main dishes, we shared Lomo Saltado, pollo saltado, and grilled octopus. The Saltado dishes were excellent, meat was tender and the fries took on the flavor of everything else. Also enjoyed the grilled octopus, as it was tender and served in a delicious sauce. Would certainly return to Lomo Saltado!

So I went to the O.G. location, where I learned that one spun off to a different owner. I always appreciate O.G. so I'm glad to find that this one is thriving in Passaic. A little off the beaten track, Leña does offer a parking lot if the street is full. Not too crowded inside - well, see my photos - they sat me at a nice large table of my own and brought over that delicious large corn with spicy green sauce. I don't know the names, but this is delicious. The waitress happily walked me through the menu options and, being Ecuadorian, informed me to what was the most traditional here. I went with Tacu Tacu con... technically Pechuga. * Purple drink: Delicious, authentic, large glass, fresh made, fruity and refreshing. Guy at the other table had a whole pitcher and I might have wanted that over just one glass! * Side of fried cassava: Was told that's how Peruvians like it, and that matches my South American recollection. Delicious with that green sauce. * Tacu was on top of a large fried rice patty. Well, not really a patty, it just broke apart into delicious bites bursting with flavor. Wonderful and authentic. * Tacu chicken itself was pounded thin but seasoned so nicely I couldn't put it down. * Large meal accompanied by lettuce and onions. Even those were somehow delicious - okay, more green sauce was used - but my plate exited my possession completely empty. Wish I had room left to try the dessert, the flan or coco version thereof, but too full of delicious Peruvianism. Glad this was on my must try list, glad I chose this location - I'll be back!

I order the rachi and pancita combo, and my boyfriend ordered the pollo saltado. The pollo saltado came out incredibly quickly which can be good sometimes; however, in our case, the rest of the plates for the other five of us took another 15 minutes to come out, and we're a family that waits for everyone to have their food to eat. The pollo saltado was a very big portion, but it wasn't the best one we've had in the area - it had more of a homemade flavor rather than a restaurant one. The rachi and pancita were good but a bit burnt for my liking. If you go to Peru, the places that sell, this would serve that not as "well done" so this wasn't great in comparison. Overall, the bill came out to around $220 which to me seems a bit excessive . The service was your usual Peruvian service, so not great . We did get dessert. We got their dulce de Leche cake which was pretty flavorful. My only thing though is that Peruvian's called this manjar blanco, and not dulce de leche, so it never sits right with me when a Peruvian place call something by the name of Peruvian wouldn't call it by.

A suggestion to management is to be considerate with paying customers & accommodate reasonable requests. A tranquil dinner was ruined by exposure to unnecessary noise, it's not fun - especially for children.
