The food is always amazing, the portions are very generous, and the service has consistently been great every time I visit. The combination of Chinese and Peruvian flavors is comforting, flavorful, and absolutely hits the spot. Come hungry you will not leave disappointed! The location itself is small and cozy, which honestly adds to its charm. My only issue is parking, which can be a little challenging, but aside from that, I have nothing but great things to say. One of my favorite food spots and a true hidden gem. If you haven't experienced Chifa cuisine before, this is a great place to start! Jeffrey Umaña @jeffrey.umana

We usually order takeout from here because the food is consistently delicious, but today we decided…read moreto dine in, and I'm so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, the service was warm, attentive, and welcoming. The food was absolutely amazing, just as we've come to expect, but enjoying it fresh in the restaurant made it even better. Sometimes life gets so busy that you forget to slow down. Sitting down together, sharing an incredible Peruvian meal, and simply enjoying each other's company was exactly what we needed. It turned an ordinary meal into a wonderful date. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Peruvian food with excellent service, I highly recommend this place. We'll definitely be back, whether it's for takeout or another relaxing meal in the restaurant.

I recently visited Santa Brava with my wife and our in-laws, and once again we had an absolutely…read morewonderful dining experience. We ordered three lomo saltado dishes (delicious, perfectly cooked), and my wife had the seafood soup, which was rich, flavorful and comforting. Each dish was served hot, fresh, and full of flavor -- clearly prepared with care. The service was friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The portion sizes were generous, and for the quality and taste we felt it was excellent value. The ambiance was relaxed and pleasant -- ideal for a family meal. This was our third time in under four months, and the quality has been consistently top-notch every single time. They've proven they can deliver excellent food and service over multiple visits -- no drop in standards. If you're looking for a place with great Peruvian/Latin food in Clifton NJ, attentive service, and a welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend Santa Brava. We'll be back again soon!

I couldn't pick a favorite, they were both excellent and extremely satiating, I was full until dinner time after eating that for breakfast. The breads they have are all Peruvian style bread and are freshly baked every morning. The place is small and humble but packs a punch of flavor! Went with my boyfriend and enjoyed every bite. The coffee is pretty good too! Over all great food and service.They give you spicy sauce on the side and whatever other sauces you may want for your meal or sandwich. Muy bueno!!!

The tallarines verdes were rich and subtly luxurious to taste. The rotisserie chicken had various layers of smoky flavor and cooked to perfection, while the arroz chaufa was straightforward and delicious. It was a "greatest hits" of Peruvian cuisine, and it was all excellent and completely authentic. (I visited their Paterson location with my kids and parents, who are from Peru, and they said it was the best they've had outside of their homeland.) The service was phenomenal and gracious, while the owner, Maria, was just lovely. The decor, too, was unique and representative of an Andean vibe. Great stuff!

For dinner we ordered "pescado a lo macho" one with fillet fish and the other with a whole fish. Dish comes with a sauce and white rice. The sauce was delicious. I will say the fish was a salty. I will try this spot again because i do like that they have different protein options on most dishes and that there is a quinoa option. Which is a plus because my mom is a pescatarian.

I had tried Aji Limon many years ago, before El Fogon took over, and unfortunately, the quality of…read morethe food and the service have both declined. We waited 10 minutes before we were able to get a menu, then another 10 for someone to take our order. The food took over 30 minutes to be served and they don't provide any snacks (Peruvian restaurants usually give you canchita to snack on while you wait); our server was very rude to us, she was the one to "greet us" when we entered and just looked me up and down and walked away, then we were seated and had ordered drinks, she didn't bring my water at all - I had to ask a different server to please bring me water after 15 minutes. We spent around an hour and a half at the restaurant solely because of how long it took to serve us, bring out the food, and get the check. The jalea and ceviche were both okay - not the best but also not the worst I have tried. I asked the ceviche to be spicy and it wasn't, nor was I given rocoto on the side when I asked for it. The jalea only had calamari and fish, when it's supposed to also have octopus, shrimp, etc. I will not be coming back.

Best Peruvian I've had in NJ by a long shot even when you take the gargantuan portions out of the equation. Entree flavors were just spot on for the lomo and pollo and the sauces were great too. So reviews saying huge portions, but what are we actually talking? Here are our meals on a scale (images attached for your enjoyment). Lomo Saltado - more than 2.5lbs Pollo Saltado - more than 3.25lbs Saltado de Mariscos Especial - more than 4lbs!! I'd rank the meals as I listed them above, ie inverse proportion to their weight. I probably wouldn't order Mariscos again but good value and flavor overall. But quality of the seafood just wasn't there for me personally. Very happy to have found this place. We're probably be return customers... with a request for more veggies and less fries.

Unfortunately, though serviceable, this restaurant was a bit of a letdown. The Ceviche Mixto and Ceviche De Camarones were just average for me. They tasted fresh, but lacked any real flavor. On the other hand, their Anticuchos was quite enjoyable. Maybe they do cooked dishes better. I might come back to try other menu items next time in the area, but currently on the questionable list.

I ordered delivery and tried the chicken lomo saltado and the chicken arroz chaufa. The lomo saltado was good overall. It was well seasoned, but I wish it came with a little more sauce because there wasn't enough to mix into the white rice. The chicken pieces were also a lot thicker than I like. My favorite was definitely the chicken arroz chaufa. It was full of flavor and the rice was cooked perfectly. The only thing that disappointed me was the green sauce. I was looking forward to it, but it was really watery and lacked both spice & texture I was expecting. Overall, I'd order the arroz chaufa again and would try something different on the menu.
