This place is a hidden gem! The saying "Don't judge a book by its cover" applies here. It's a small place that can easily be missed unless you're looking for it. Cleanliness: I have been there twice and both times I've watched as the waitresses clean the tables and chairs thoroughly, followed by a quick sweep under the tables before each new guest. That gave us peace of mind for sure. Service: The waitresses were very kind. We aren't very familiar with Peruvian food (we always eat the same dishes) and they helped us choose a new "to us" appetizer they felt we would like. Which we ended up liking a lot. They checked in on us during appropriate times and refilled our waters. When we asked for the check it came quickly without us feeling rushed. It was a good experience. Meals: Appetizer: Yuca Huchaina (I totally spelled that wrong..sorry) fried Yuca with cheese sauce. It was delicious. Fried to perfection. We ate it all up embarrassingly fast. Hey, we were hungry lol! Drink: we tried the "Chicha" purple drink. Wow this was amazing. Yes it is purple! It is sweet and has a touch of pineapple in it. We opted to get a pitcher for the three of us. Vida Seafood dish- It came with ceviche, leche de Tigre and fried seafood mix. This dish was a big hit. My parents said they would order it next time. It hit all the things I was craving. I loved that I got the best of both worlds with half fried seafood and half ceviche (fish only). Ceviche and leche de Tigre was super flavorful with spices and lime. I got extra spice and it was perfect. I wanted to drink it right from the small bowl it was that good. My Dad ended up finishing my plate once I got full. He was super jealous of my plate haha! - Ceviche Classico- Also Flavorful and yummy. If you're super hungry this may not fill you up. Hence, why my Dad finished my meal but he loved it! I had this dish during my first visit. It was delicious. - Pescado Saltado...my Mom loved this dish. The fish literally falls apart in your mouth. Every piece was flavorful and drenched in the yummy sauce. It came with rice and French fries and plenty of fish pieces. Overall: I give this place a 5. What matters to us is quality and taste of the food, service and cleanliness. And they deserve 5 stars for Leche De Tigre. read more

I have been several times and the food has always been good . Unfortunately this visit was very disappointing. I ordered the shrimp chaufa and the jalea . The rice had too much soy sauce and the rice was partially undercooked. The Jalea was on the smaller side this time around and had more calamari than anything else. Usually it's a good mix. My husband ordered grilled fish ( which was a filet ) we had to send it back the fish wasn't cooked all the way through. They took the same fish that my husband had removed a small piece before we realized it wasn't cooked thoroughly and cooked it longer and by the time it came back to the table it was almost half the size. True disappointment this time around read more

Everyone is friendly, from Paola to Agustin. The food is always delicious and freshly cooked. The place is homey and friendly. Very local. Terras has the best tasting Peruvian food in the neighborhood and I ate in at least 4 of them along 28. This is my favorite place to eat. read more

Delicious Peruvian food. Full of great flavors and great selection of food, between the seafood, and classics such as lomo saltado. You definitely need to come a few times to try other things on the menu. Have an Inca Kola to pair with the Peruvian cuisine for an authentic experience. Great service and quaint seating area. read more

The the food is out of this world! Never had a bad dish. Would highly recommend any of their ceviches or the tacu lomo. Great value for the money. Highly recommend! read more

Really good Peruvian restaurant and food compared to others in the area. This time I got the steak chaufa $14 (picture attached) and it was good, not the best. I usually order "Steak Lomo Saltado" and it's the best I have tried. Chunks of filet mignon tenderloins sautéed with onions and tomatoes, with rice and french fries. Recommended ! Muy buen restaurante y comida peruana en comparación con otros en la zona. Esta vez me pedi arroz chaufa de carne $ 14 (foto agregada) y fue bueno, no el mejor. Generalmente ordeno "Lomo Saltado de carne" y es lo mejor que he probado. Trozos de filete mignon de lomo salteados con cebolla y tomates, con arroz y papas fritas. Recomendado! read more

Disclaimer. I am a Peruvian with picky taste-buds I am between a 4 and a 3 because of the ceviche. I tried the following: - Tiradito w/ Avocado = 4 stars - Nice taste and creative - Ceviche = 3 stars - it was watery - Papa Rellena = 4 stars - nice size and tasty - Causa = 4 stars - well executed. - Pezcado Frito = 4 Stars - Crispy and juicy on the inside. - Chicha (Purple Corn drink) = 4 Stars - made at premise - right taste balance read more

I have to add a disclaimer: I'm Peruvian, so I may be more picky when it comes to Peruvian food. This review is about my second time at Terras on a Sunday for lunch. I say this because my first experience was entirely different, on a weekday for lunch with a big group of coworkers. This second time the food was average to bad. The ceviche was way over cooked and sour, with no taste. My fish Chorrillana was lame, missing the depth of the chile and juices. We ordered the ceviche as starter, but it came after they served the main course, which in Peru it's a sacrilege. I haven't given up on Terras. My first experience was really good, both in terms of food and service. I hope this time around the problem was about the personnel they hire for Sundays. read more

Came here for the first time today and I must say the food was really good service was excellent and they accommodated my needs. Kudos to them! I'll be back again for sure read more

My most recent Peruvian visit, best Jaella ever as the squid was real fresh, will try the ceviche next time

Probably one of the cleanest restaurants I've been to since covid. Food was pretty good but a little pricey. Usually other Peruvian restaurants you're getting a huge plate for $15 and that's very known in the Peruvian food industry that's how you correctly serve a dish but here it's probably like a children's size for $15. But besides that staff was nice read more

Tried this place on a recommendation from a friend and I was very impressed. Went for a Sunday afternoon dinner, small place, but food was great and the service was also on point. We had Bistek al pobre, which was a big steak, rice, french fries, side salad and madras. All delish ! My guy had Churrasco, which was Tbone steak with french fries and rice, also delish. Definitely recommended ! read more

Small place on the main road. Food was great. Came out fast. Service was good. People are polite and helpful. Clean nice environment. They have a Tv they can turn on. You can watch a soccer game or YouTube videos they play. Not many Peruvian places around but this one is definitely worth a visit. Would recommend. read more

Shared a Jalea as an appetizer with a group of friends. Giant portions of seafood that include all kinds of fried goodness! It has calamari, yuca, fish, shrimp, a few clams&mussels and one crab leg. For entree I split a 1/2 rotisserie chicken with hubby. It comes with fries and salad. The chicken is tender and juicy, even better top it off with the green sauce. I've had the Peruvian fried rice on a previous visit which was really good as well. Try the purple corn drink! I know it sounds weird but it's actually really refreshing. read more

The food here is spectacular! Portions are huge. My Bolivian friends chose Terra's as their favorite place to eat out in central New Jersey. Vuelve a la Vida and Leche de Tigre are the way to go! read more

Love this place. Delicious chicken and spicy green sauce!

Went here with a friend. Super disappointed with the quality of the food. Maybe the high ratings gave me high expectations. But the food was just agonizing to my taste buds. Very standard place in a average looking spot. This makes me sad because I love local businesses. :x read more

Thank you for catering the party yesterday! Food was fantastic! Everyone loved it. Everything was light and fresh. Everyone raved over the Lomo meat how tender. The sauces were fabulous! I can't wait to go back to have more! Very authentic Peruvian cuisine with a lighter modern twist! read more

Honestly one of the top ten meals I have ever eaten. Fish was so fresh and the taste was great. I think we could have ordered anything off the menu and it would have been good. We will definitely be going back there. I recommend the mixed ceviche for any seafood lover. read more

Terra's chicken the Peruvian food, portions and prices are great. The food here is very authentic I should know I'm peruvian. Their rotisserie chicken or pollo a la brasa with their hot sauce is delicious this place gives planet chicken a run for their money I don't get why it doesn't have more reviews. I give it four stars cause sometimes they have the music playing too loud and it has one too many televisions. read more
