Prices are different as listed in Google. Cebiche de pescado is $18.85, Ají de gallina is $16.85 and Jalea is $22.85. Jalea had mostly fried fish and squid, they only put 2 shrimps. For a $22.85 plate it could have been more generously served. It was missing mussles and scallops. Not worth the money!
Personally, it is my favorite Peruvian restaurant to eat at. The chafua rice here is such a delight and the best in the area. The green sauce is so good they sell bottles of it on site.

All this to say, my guy Blake told me about El Gordo, an authentic Peruvian spot in Jersey City, so we made the push over there. Peruvians tend to slang top tier, roasted chicken, so I was juiced.
We both got half chickens with a side of yellow rice and plantains....
