This is a local spot for some friends of mine but not my go to. The servers seem to be overworked and so you overlook the lack of friendliness. It took a while before our drink order was taken and I believe my drink was $14 but I didn’t know until the bill came since no drink menu with pricing was given. On a previous occasion I had the empanadas which were really good. This time around I had a salad and tostones (I ate earlier).
Love!! Love!! Love this place, its very elegant and everything on their meal is delicious. And if you like Sangria, order yourself a pitcher... you'll thank me later!! Best part, prices are reasonable and the platters are big.
Haven't been here since the pandemic and I have missed this place. Every time I go to Kew Gardens we like to eat here and I always get the same things. In the past I have tried the chupe (seafood soup), Maduros and the Colombian chorizo with tostones. My go-to meal is the pernil. I use the spicy green sauce on the table as my salad dressing and tostones dipper.. We sat in in the covered outdoor area which was brighter than indoors.
Not bad but not WOW. Staff on the front end lacks attention. Once seated and you get a waiter, then the service picks up, else it would have been 2 stars.
The food was delicious. We were a party of 10 so we ordered a variety of dishes; all of them: papa a la huancaína, calamari frito, chicken wings were delicious. We had the Peruvian staples such a chaufa rices, ceviche and were well prepared and really good. We will definitely return. The service was good even though it was a busy night. But the patrons were happy. We had a great time to celebrate my dad's 84th birthday.
Food is good. When the place is crowded, they lose you. You need to raise your hand constantly when you need anything.The owner is a great guy. He goes around greeting, introducing himself, and converses with you.
My neighborhood easy casual dining the place generally has very good sangria not this time the fish which I have had several times was not that flavorful and kind of dry but again I was there with a friend that helped.
You would think this restaurant would want to keep their business going or at least receive decent reviews but thats not the case with these people. They are rude on the phone, put you on perpetual hold and on both occasions all they said was “no we don’t have that”. Prior to this review over a month ago I waited over an hour after my call to them and confirmation of my order only to receive the wrong order and a nasty reaction from the person that answered the phone. That person spoke to someone else and at no point did they ask to confirm my order and didn’t offer to replace it. The service came and picked up the wrong order about two hours later and no call, no apology and certainly NOT MY ORDER. After today’s continued unprofessional behavior I will never order out or eat in their restaurant. I’m certain to spread the word and also review them exactly the same way on the other apps. Horrible service!!!
I’ve never been to a restaurant where they lie about the food they are serving you. I ordered a lomo saltado with entraña , which is $7-$9 more than the regular one that’s just with skirt steak.To start off the rice was dry , with only 4 cuts of French fries. To the main attraction which is the actual meat, they paired it with peppers, white onions and to my surprise they placed 3 pieces of entraña on top and all the meat on the bottom was skirt steak. If you’ve ever had a lomo saltado it always comes with tomatoes, shallots and choice of meat, which for me was the entraña. It was extremely disappointing and the waiter looked at me in the face and said no this entraña, so I asked for the manager where she took a look and saw I was right. Did offer another plate, but what’s the point now. You wasted my time and were trying to play me. I would never go back. Don’t try to play your costumers.
I have ordered for take out and stayed in. I’m taking 3 stars off due to the quality of the food, price and waiters. I’ve eaten Peruvian food at many restaurants in queens and I would not recommend this place. I gave it several tries but it’s simply not good Peruvian food. Its pricey for the quality of food you get. Some waiters are also not attentive. I’ve had to constantly call them over. Only 1 waiter was good, so it’s up to you’re luck.
