Peruvian Restaurants near Bayonne, NJ

“Love this food. It’s a every Saturday night dinner.“

“Everything was great except our table. We were positioned by the bathroom and where all the servers got drinks at the bar and my seat was on that side. A number of times my chair was bumped (though they apologized). We also were freezing the doors kept being held open and cold air coming in. Otherwise food and service were great no complaints“

“Everything! The food, the flavors, the service, the hospitality… EVERYTHING was AWESOME! 👏🏻 My wife and I had an excellent first experience at Artesano celebrating our anniversary and we will be back soon! Shout out to our hosts Roman and Frankie, our server Nick, and the hard working kitchen staff and everyone who made our night very special! THANK YOU 😊“

“Kind family owned business with the best Fettuccine I have ever ate ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Really hyped, and with a lot of reviews, the expectations were high.

What was good?
When for starters the chicken was indeed quite good. But in the context of other Peruvian chicken I’ve had in the past, it was not extraordinary. Yes the skin was crispy and the meat was juicy. The arroz chaufa hit all the savory notes that I was looking for too. The sangria didn’t disappoint either.

What was bad?
Overall, not too much other than the sporadic and slightly chaotic service. Not necessarily any marks against Pio Pio for this, I think it was just a busy night.

The main issue I had was the frozen chicken used in the arroz chaufa. In a restaurant that is known for its chicken, you wouldn’t think they would cheap out on it at any point. But, this was simply not the case. It was dry, chewy, and clearly not as fresh as their rotisserie chicken.

It didn’t scare me off entirely from going back, but I was disappointed to say the least. Most people have extremely low bars for chicken as a meat they would spend money on at a restaurant. Don’t give people a reason to complain I just don’t get it. Looking back on it, I would have said something or sent the dish back, not because I’m an asshole, but because I know they can do better.“

“Good food and great customer service!!“

“Excelente servicio Tomas nos atendio de maravilla y sus recomendaciones fueron espectaculares probe autentica comida Peruana, leche de tigre y lomo salteado y una jarra de Sangria de Maracuya deluciosa!

Wheelchair accessibility: Ok“

“This place creates food worth paying for without overcharging. Their staff interacted with genuine warmth. The quality was apparent from our first moments inside. I couldn't get enough of the food. This place is worth your consideration.“

“will comeback, 100% recommended“

“The fish soup is tits up. Have to try it at least once.“

“An unforgettable culinary journey led by Chef Miguel! Trained by Iron Chef Bobby Flay and born into a lineage of culinary innovators, Chef Miguel brings the soul of Peru to every plate. From the first bite, it’s clear that this is more than a restaurant — it’s a celebration of heritage, artistry, and fearless creativity. Raised in Lima and descended from the man who first introduced mussels to Peru in the 19th century, Chef Miguel reimagines traditional Peruvian cuisine through a global lens. Each dish is a masterful blend of fresh, vibrant ingredients and unexpected flavors from around the world. What sets this experience apart is Miguel’s rebellious spirit in the kitchen. He doesn’t just cook Peruvian food — he pushes its boundaries, diving deep into forgotten traditions and unexplored techniques. The result is bold, elegant, and utterly unique. Highly recommend for anyone seeking a refined yet soulful dining experience rooted in Peruvian culture, but unafraid to venture beyond it.“

“It's the first time I was there, because it was the restaurant with the best rating, in the area, I really recommend it, in 23 years in this country, I ate the best green noodles with steak, 😋 💯

“This is a local Chinese/Peruvian food restaurant that gives new meaning to Chinese food! This fusion of flavors is amazing! I’ve had the steak with tostones, their chicharrón de pollo & many other delectable dishes. They also have a nice bar & make excellent Pisco sours which I can’t find in too many places! I live in Rockland County & the hubby & I take the trip about monthly just to eat here! Nothing fancy about the restaurant but definitely good eats! Highly recommend! The hubby &!I will definitely be back! 😋😋😋“

“La mejor mi esposo es puerroriqueno y adora comer ay o El otro que se llama El limon“

“You can never go wrong with a lomo saltado or a classic, original and how it’s supposed to be made, ceviche. The flavors were out of this world. Meat was cooked perfectly, sauce was perfect. The fettuccini with the homemade sauce was ridiculous. Gonna try making it at home for sure!! The ceviche was really good, the puréed sweet potato was a nice touch. Wish i had a bit more of a portion but all in all, very very good!“

“muy buena la comida recomendable!!!!!!“

“Highly recommend Molkajete Restaurant and Bar. Nicely decorated, this Latin American cuisine restaurant has a very inviting, family friendly atmosphere. The food is delicious, and the service is exceptional. I've dined here two times and am very happy with my choice on both occasions. They offer catering as well.“

“Wonderful place, so bright and clean 😍 Positive energy and great food!“

“me encanta la comida del Restaurante, excelente de lo recomiendo a todos. una delicia.“

“La Comida es super deliciosa, los anticuchos, tallarines con crema huancaína y lomo saltado, el ceviche, el helado de lúcuma uff. La comida toma su tiempo pero la espera vale la pena.🍝🍲🥩🔥🍧“

“Long time neighborhood favorite for roast chicken served with a tangy garlic sauce. Spacing between tables is generous, staff is nice and helpful, and there's a pleasant track of Peruvian Andes music to set the mood. We chose to share their Peruvian Chicken platter, a $60 combo with a whole grilled chicken that melted off the bone; a large salad with tomatoes, lettuce and avocado; and a large plate of freshly made French fries. It's hard to eat on the UWS for $30 these days, and we had plenty to take home, so we thought it was a great casual meal option. Menu also features ceviche and Latin dishes like beans n'rice and yucca, skirt steak etc. A diverse group of neighbors, some elderly, gal pals, students and couples were obviously enjoying their meals, too.“

“Un restaurante muy bueno el mejor de el área comida rica bien servido y precios bajos en comparación a los demás las meseras nuevas un éxito en especial la Jazmín (Sharito) muy contenta cuando voy a comer con mi familia felicidades no cambien nunca el personal nuevo de las mesas y sigan así muchas bendiciones y gracias por los presentes q dieron por navidad arriba el sombrero 👍👏👏“

“The food was delish- our waiter was great and the music made it extra special too!“

“Fantastic local Peruvian restaurant. Food is very fresh and perfectly cooked. Super plump fried shrimp, spicy ceviche, fresh vegetables, Couldn’t have been more satisfied.
Two main dishes are probably enough for 3 people as portions are generous though not outrageously so.“

“Después de meses me pude tomar una Inca kola y me comí "El Lomo Saltado", que Lomo, espectacular. Como Peruano lo Recomiendo 100%, felicidades!!!“

“Great food- Just a little too pricey compared to other places but they do cook very good.

“Staff is friendly, plenty of seating available, beautiful decor. The music isn’t too loud like in other Peruvian restaurants. I’ve eaten here plenty of times and this is my go to if I want Peruvian food. My favorites I’ve had here are caldo de gallina, milaneza de pollo, and parrillada triple. Their menu special also has a good variety of food. Be advised they only accept cash.“

“Buen ceviche y la atención súper amable“

“rich and cultural culinary flavors; I recommend lomo saltado 👌“

“Had a terrific lunch here. Some of the best ceviche I've ever eaten. Entrees were excellent and, according to my husband (who's been to Peru), authentic to the spirit of the country. I also got the arroz chufa with steak. Yum! Ample portions and good value. First meal on this trip to NYC and it'll be hard to beat. HIGHLY recommended.“

“Great food and service! The pollo la brasa with fries and their special hot sauce is always good. Would definitely come back again. I always come here with family and the value is great. Service is also good and the workers are friendly. It is a nice little spot. Definitely stop by!

Bueno valor y sabor. Siempre voy con familia.“

“Cocinan muy rico como en casa“

“I hesitate for a while and try to decide if I should rate 5 or 4. Food is ABSOLUTELY GREAT. I guaranteed that. The only problem is the language barrier. Anyway, food is a big YES. Service could be better if they try say any simple English words at least to do the business.“

“Great food, great people, great atmosphere. Sometimes that’s all you need. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned, and the portions were just right. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the whole meal even better. You can tell this place puts their heart into what they do. I’m already looking forward to my next visit“
