Peruvian Restaurants near Jamesburg, NJ

“This was our first time at Don Pepe but not our last. There is a huge menu which includes many Peruvian specialties. Our lovely young waitress was delighted to describe these dishes in detail and after listening to any of our food preferences, made several recommendations. We ordered a variety of main courses and all four in our party were delighted with their choice. Portions are huge - my husband and I each took home enough for another meal. We did not drink that night but I looked at the drink menu which had a variety of Peruvian specialties along with the more common choices one might find and prices were very reasonable. There is a friendly, family atmosphere. On a Sunday night it was very busy so suggest making reservations“

“Rating based on food only.Recommend: garlic shrimp (camarones al ajillo), pollo ala brasa, yucca fries (yucca frita)Meh: fried rice, fries, yellow riceInteresting split here with some things very delicious and somethings pretty mediocre.Yucca fries are crispy and fluffy perfection but the regular fries are droopy and soggyGarlic shrimp is cooked well but the sauce is a bit salty so don't overuse the sauce.Pollo ala brasa was fantastically juicy.Fried rice is very salty and the meats were tough and chewy.The yellow rice had a bit of a gritty texture like there was something funky about the cook.Soda weirdly was very flat.The aji verde is more thick and creamy, almost mayonnaise-like, than others I've experienced.Service was pretty poor. Servers were very absent. It was hard to flag people down.“

“Such a beautiful hidden gem! The food was beyond words mouth watering great. They have a sauce that is entirely addicting, drenched our plates in it haha. The owner was so kind, polite and generous. We ate so fast we couldn’t finish it, so we took it to go! We’re looking forward to finishing these plates back home. Definitely would recommend. Great food. Great portions. Great service.“
