Good food. Good service. If you like seafood I recommend the jalea. The lomo saltado was very good too.

Have you ever had that feeling when you order from a new place and within two bites you're telling yourself that you're going to be eating at that new place regularly from now on? Well that's what we felt after a recent takeout dinner from Nazca. We were watching an episode of Padma Lakshmi's show Taste the Nation covering Peruvian food and afterward was really hankering for some Peruvian cuisine. We found Nazca through Yelp and were very pleasantly delighted and was not disappointed trying some of the typical Peruvian dishes shown on the show. My wife and I ordered the Aji de Gallina - an excellent shredded chicken dish in a creamy sauce served over potatoes, chicken Chaufa - a Spanish version of fried rice which was really good and the Leche de Tigre ceviche. Everything was excellent, portions were good and the prices affordable so it's definitely somewhere we will be eating at regularly.

Small place with easy parking. The food was amazing and the drinks were both different and delicious. This is the place for great food and drink at very reasonable prices.

I like it el arroz chaufa little expense $22 only one dish. I went other places in Passaic better price and same taste

Quality drinks and very friendly staff, but what makes a restaurant is the food. I got the Aji de Gallina and my friend got the item above it on the menu, both fairly bland and mine a bit watery.If you're going for drinks and ambience this place solid. If you're going for the food prepare to be let down.

I ordered delivery from this place a few weeks ago and it was super good, so we stopped in for an early dinner on our way home this day. The host was super nice and we were able to choose where to sit as they are offering both indoor and outdoor seating. The drinks were super good and we were even given a complementary sample of "Pico Sour" from the bartender - haven't stopped thinking about it since and might stop in just for that. For starters we had the Empanadas, then the Ceviche, Lomo Saltado and a friend - the Pollo a la Brasa. All was very good, especially the Lomo. However, the chicken was a bit on the dry side. Nonetheless, great place and would definitely be ordering again!

Fairly new restaurant in town and for a while my husband & I were curious as we’ve never had Peruvian food so we ordered take out for Fathers Day..the food was so disappointing! The lady who charged me when I picked up my food was very impersonal and to make matters worse they forgot to pack an appetizer and didn’t offer to deliver it bring it was their mistake I had to go back and pick it up and she didn’t apologize. The food had NO flavor at all, wish we could have returned it. We will never go back nor have I recommended this place to anyone.

Took clients here for a little brunch. Service started off a tad slow but was quickly redeemed with an amazing bartender/waiter! Drinks were great and food was fresh and outstanding. Happy we stopped in.

I am a huge believer in supporting local business especially now. My husband has been wanting to try this restaurant and glad we did . The service is excellent and excellent social distance spacing, good drink menu. We shared mixed seafood ceviche and tuna... good, although tuna had a lot of aioli, and made it a little mushy. The plantain chips were delicious, crispy and well seasoned. We had the paella and chicken. Seafood is very fresh here, but paella was 20% seafood and 80% rice.... flavorful rice and well cooked, but too much rice. The chicken was ok, some pieces were very dry, but french fries on point. The side salad dressing is good, but ask for it on the side. The servings are very generous so flip side is we brought the leftovers home, too much to leave behind and waste. Our server was attentive and very sweet. The food was ok, but willing to try again under "normal" circumstances. It is actually very pretty with the lights and umbrella set up outside, but on a main Road so very noisy. This is not in their control so shouldn't detour you from going, just a little inconvenient . All in all a solid experience and would recommend! Support local business !!!

Decided to give this place a try and now it's my secret spot to enjoy a delicious and exotic meal. You gotta love it! They treat you like they are grateful you are visiting. Great Atmosphere, service, drinks, and of course the main attraction: the food! Oh My Gosh!!!Everything is delicious so don't be shy! You gotta try the "Papas a la Huancaina" appetizer or "Leche de Tigre" (Tiger Milk) which is a yummy Fish & Shrimp Ceviche! Another favorite was the "Char Sui Ribs" (Sweet & Sour Sauce) served with fries; it was simply delicious!!!If you ask me about the drinks, the "Pisco Sour" is a Staple at Nazca. It's a Peruvian Brandy mixed drink that tastes deceptively light but can kick your butt!Right now the seating is limited to a few tables outside (because of COVID) so it's a good idea to call and check if there is room for you, or you can just order for pick up or free delivery.This rare Peruvian Restaurant is doing amazing. They support our community, create jobs, and contribute to diversity, which makes our area stand out. I give them 5 stars and wish them the best of luck! If you visit I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Let me know what you think!

I ordered Chaufa and Lomo. I love Peruvian food. My favorite. This place was Delicious! Better yet, it was Reasonable Pricing! Much better than the Peruvian food in other places. I placed my order to go and it was ready in 1/2 hour. Definitely will be back for dining soon, as the drinks looked really appetizing.

I've been following them on IG for a while now and for our anniversary dinner we tried them out. Boy did they not disappoint! The whole place gives you all the feels. I had the Chaufa with seafood while my husband had the lomo. Both delicious! I told my husband it's hard to get that nice smile flavor in a lomo and they got it right. Chaufa was amazing! The drinks were on point and service was impeccable. What made it even better was the Chef came out and spoke to everyone and made sure all was good. No need my dude go back there and cook that good stuff!! ? ? We'll be back again for sure!!
