We finally found a good Peruvian restaurant! 🇵🇪 Everything was fresh, hot, and delicious. I ordered the 1/4 chicken with fries, rice, and salad, and everything was on point! The green sauce was AMAZING, the chicken was perfectly cooked, and even the dressing on the salad was so good!

El Pollo à la Brasa is always on point, great service and good atmosphere
The chaufa de pollo is fantastic, and I’m sure the rest of their menu is just as good. If you’re deciding between Fusionista in Montclair and El Gordo, definitely go with El Gordo. The Peruvian food at some of these other places in Montclair has been so watered down that it barely resembles the real thing. I’ve tried chaufa at 4-5 different places, and Fusionista’s was honestly inedible. El Gordo is on another level. Give this place a try and you won’t regret it.

El Gordo MONTCLAIR is a Peruvian restaurant that has been serving customers for 30 years. Reviewers describe the food as fresh, hot, and delicious. The 1/4 chicken with fries, rice, and salad was on point, with perfectly cooked chicken and a salad dressing that is so good. The green sauce is AMAZING, and the mixed chaufa and chaufa de pollo are fantastic. The Peruvian lo main is a delectable delicacy, especially mixed with the Peruvian homemade green sauce (mild spicy). The ceviche is also worth trying. The lomo saltado is seriously the best ever had, so jugoso and fresh, with a great portion. Customers say the flavor is just right and you can really taste the quality and care that goes into the food. The place is small, but the service is always very quick and friendly, both over the phone and at the restaurant. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming. One reviewer orders takeout once a week and calls it their favorite place, noting the chicken and rice are amazing but the salad and salad dressing keep them coming back. Another recommends El Gordo over Fusionista in Montclair, saying the Peruvian food at some other places in Montclair has been so watered down that it barely resembles the real thing, while El Gordo is on another level.
