“My friend and I wound up at Don Alex's on Saturday evening after the restaurant we originally wanted to go to did not have any openings. What a true stroke of luck! Don Alex is a wonderful restaurant right off route 22 with delicious food! I had an order of Maduros to start and loved every second of them. Also, the tortilla chips came with salsa Verde peruana, which was also amazing.For dinner, I had lomo saltado, which is a dish of either chicken or beef with french fries, white rice, and peppers and onions. I have not had it in a while, but this dish hit the spot. I was a little shocked at how empty the restaurant was, considering how good the food was, but they also had a takeout side, which seem to have a lot of customers. If you are in the Kenilworth area, this is definitely worth a trip.“

“Excellent time at this quaint stylish restaurant. Not super familiar with Peruvian food but they had excellent flavors and enjoyed the overall experience. Thought the rice was a bit salty for my taste but each dish came out super aesthetic. As others have reviewed prior, the ceviche was a highlight and would definitely return for it. I would say that the service of the staff was all top notch and made our dinner really pleasant; just make sure to refill waters as I didn't get a refill until end of dining session upon request. Only about a dozen tables so make reservations. Well worth the effort if you're in the area“

“The food was artistically presented and delicious. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Ambiance casual yet classy. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves in terms of the absolute artistry this place has in presentation of its delicious food.“

“I was really impressed by this place!We got the coconut shrimp bao buns to start which were absolutely delicious. The shrimp was crispy and hot and the sauce/toppings took it over the top. Perfect snack before our entrees.I got the “cheese steak” ramen and it was truly one of the best dishes I’ve ever had. The short rib was tender, the caramelized onions brought so much flavor. The portion was extremely generous, was only able to eat half and took the other half to go.The tres leches tiramisu is a MUST. It was perfectly decadent without being too sweet or heavy.The service from the entire staff was amazing. They were super attentive with refilling our waters, clearing dirty plates and wrapping leftovers. Every staff member that interacted with us was extremely pleasant, accommodating and welcoming.My only small complaint would be that the tables are EXTREMELY close together. Like truly a couple inches. It made it hard to have conversation at times and it was awkward when you or the table next to you had to get in or out because it was very tight.Overall, we will absolutely be back and we look forward to trying more dishes!“

“Thank you for the excellent service Meybelin, very attentive and helpful, the food was delicious, the service very excellent, I love this restaurant and that is why I visit it frequently ??? the person who served me was super friendly, he deserves a raise ?“

“The food is amazing! Fresh and delicious. We are very impressed by the quality of food at a small restaurant like this. We love the spaghetti with string beef, seafood platter, and mussel ceviche. Everything is beyond our expectation. Quality food, good portion, and very reasonable pricing. Probably not a romantic atmosphere but definitely good for family and casual dining. We will be ordering many times on DoorDash in the future“

“This is a complete taste of authentic Peruvian food! All my experiences here have been with takeout. Calling to place an order is always prompt and accurate. Pick up isn't ever more than 20 minutes for food to be ready. The weekends seem to be the busiest as tables are filled with customers. Walking in on the weekends, you'll be walking into classic Peruvian music and/or modern Spanish music. The llama upon entrance is a nice touch to its culture and opportunity for a nice photo. Most importantly, thumbs up to the fresh seafood used for their ceviche mixto. Don't forget to add the papa ha la huancaina as a side dish. Overall, I find the prices here fair for the quality and quantity of what they serve.“

“This spot is definitely a hidden gem.The location is conveniently located but the parking may be a bit difficult depending on what time you go.The service is wonderful! The young lady who served us was truly attentive & listened to all of our vegan needs. The food was amazing!! Fresh & super tasty!!We had the vegan sliders, waffle fries, vegan lo-mein, & the burrito grande. This location has portions down packed!! You get a great amount of food for what you pay for & quality taste. Our drinks were made to perfection!! Passion mint lemonade left me speechless!! Getting that every single time now.If you have any dog allergies be mindful of the fact that there is a business dog on premise. She did not bother anyone nor was she a nuisance. Something to be mindful of if you have allergies to dogs.We will definitely be returning.Thank you guys!!!Dietary restrictions: Vegan friendly!!“

“The food is very good, the service is also very good because I thank the lady from Moños for being patient with me since I was a new customer and she very patiently attended to me and advised me on some dishes that I undoubtedly loved as well as me and everyone else. @ my family, I thank you very much for the attention of the ladies who are at the cash register, without a doubt it is a place where I would return for their service and attention“

“There are many Peruvian restaurants but Julia’s Cafe is one of my newest favorite Peruvian food in town. The food is definitely authentically made by a Peruvian cook that understands the passion of culinary through Peruvian cuisine. Even down to sauces and spices you can taste some authenticity. We often get catering when we have a get-together or a birthday and they often times accept despite not having delivery drivers sometimes. I’m grateful for the owner and his service and for food. Everyone should give them a try and have a taste for themselves. ??“

“In a town with a thousand Peruvian restaurants.. la casa de ceviche is one to check out! Went there late for dinner on a Sunday. Ordered shrimp chaufa and chicken chaufa and both were very delicious. For $19-22 a plate, the serving size did not disappoint. The waitress did not understand English but the menu has both Spanish and English.10/10 would recommend trying.Que rico, gracias!“

“A friend and I stopped by after driving for hours looking at apartments. We were just hungry and desperate for good food. Divina Frontera exceeded any expectations we had. We came around 6-7pm and everything we ordered (which was a lot) still came out fresh and delicious. I must say one of the things I’m most excited about moving to Elizabeth is being close to this gem.“

“First of all, the attention to some, the very kind lady waited for us because it was almost time to saw but the atmosphere was good vibes, for example the music, the food was very delicious, the airport, the magician's candy, the acevichado sushi, ufff, I have to return the acevichado maqui, I said sushi for They knit it for you, but one is Peruvian, it turns out that it's your za but recommended your guy Y7it?“

“Fast service and great size servings.Impressed on a Monday night all the tables were occupied in this small business.Food speaks for itself, and if you love Peruvian food you should try it out.Parking is tough, but what do you expect at Rahway.Staff was super friendly and for a speak easy restaurant the music playing in the background was delightful.“

“I loved this place. Excellent food and good service.My only issue is that the atmosphere could be a little more cozy. I only went in because it was highly recommended, but perhaps if it hadn't been that way, I probably wouldn't have gone in.Parking: Parking is small but free.“

“My family and I love ordering from this restaurant. The food is always fresh, delicious, and plentiful. The owner is always pleasant to speak with and the service is always good. The ambiance is small but comfortable. Their lomo saltado and chaufa especial are our go to order, it's delicious every time.“

“Punto Peruano is the place you want to bring your family and friends just for a taste of delicious food in a very familiar environment and great service. En hora buena amigos.Kid-friendliness: To impress me the first thing the waiter did was to bring a nice little bowl of soup for our 15 month old baby girl: finish it all. Then, the rest was wonderful. Good luck guys ???“

“I have returned after a certain time and I have to say:EXQUISITE FOOD.CAREFUL AND VERY ATTENTION ATTENTION.REASONABLE PRICES.THE ENVIRONMENT VERY NICE AND COZY.CONTINUE LIKE THIS!!!I have returned after a certain time and I have to say:EXQUISITE FOOD.CAREFUL AND VERY ATTENTION ATTENTION.REASONABLE PRICES.THE ENVIRONMENT VERY NICE AND COZY.CONTINUE LIKE THIS!!!“

“So I would say food is good, service is great overall. Just a heads up: when ordering online for take out, the sauces they give are almost not even filled up and more watery consistency. It used to be creamy. It was not like this before, dont know why they changed it. Unlike when you eat in, the same sauces are actually better ??‍♀️“

“Loved the food and drinks we got here. Those yucca balls were really tasty, must be the sauce. Octopus appetizer was good. The Combo Marina was almost perfect: bass cerviche was amazing and so was the tuna, the seafood rice and fried calamari were a bit overcooked. Conclusion is although the food was good, it was a bit too pricey to return...especially for Linden area. Parking was only 50 cent / hour.“

“If you want authentic Peruvian food look no further, it’s right here in Clark. The portions of the dishes are more than generous. But the flavor is what keeps you coming back over and over again. I ordered the bistec de pobre and it was absolutely amazing. Highly recommend this place.“

“I walked in on a whim and was greeted with open arms and an education into what Peruvian food is traditionally and how fantastic it is. There were so many possible options that I couldn't decide. I ended up with the ceviche combo plate, and wow! I will definitely be back next time I'm in town.“

“My family and I love coming here on sundays! The food is very delicious, it has a mixture or all types of Latin American dishes. My favorite is the Mofongo de pollo. It comes in a creamy mushroom sauce (I included the picture of what was barely remaining). But we also love to get the Jalea which is not in their updated menu. I did call to ask about that specifically because we ordered take out. Had a bit of a problem with my order but they were able to help me and fixed my order.“

“Excellent restaurant! Glad they were able to rebuild mid last year. Have been coming here for years; always great…generally get the daily menu. Sitting area is not huge; parking on side is generally available. Always futball (soccer) on TV. Service is friendly…looks like the son has taken over after his parents or at least is more enagaged…definitelly starting to modernize…but food is ?.“

“Pleasant atmosphere, home-made restaurant but very rich preparation of the meals.In the drinks (chicha and barley) it could improve, since it feels like they are "from a sachet", but I understand that it is because in the US there is no PURPLE CORN from Peru with which the Delicious Chicha Morada is prepared (Original from Peru ).Everything else EXCELLENT, very good seasoning“

“I’ve been here a couple of times and each time have been highly satisfied! The staff is great, very attentive and friendly. The food is amazing, I have yet to try something I did not love! The portions are great as well. I really enjoyed the ambiance and karaoke!Would highly recommend ?“

“I always order food at work. This time I went downtown and ordered takeout. They treated me very well and with great affection. I loved the service of the two women who were there. You can tell from afar when a person has a good heart. I am going to recommend this place to everyone I know. Very kind. GOOD FOOD.“

“(Translated by Google) First class food!! My wife and I were very well taken care of! Good beer. Latin music ????????️(Original)Comida uma delícia de primeira!! Fomos muito bem atendidos eu e minha esposa! Cerveza boa. Música latina????????️“

“I visit this excellent restaurant from time to time because I enjoy the good air that is outline this restaurant. The team is highly attentive and well trained. The service is very rapid. Not to mention, the food they cook is excellent. I ate there more than once and I was always delighted. The cost is fair. I recommend this place to all my friends.“
