Peruvian Restaurants near Mineola, NY

“The Portobello Saltado was excellent. So was the Margarita. The waiter was great. A few issues. The Portobello Saltado is on their online menu. It’s not on their restaurant menu. I was told sometimes they don’t have portobellos. Ordered the avocado salad. They don’t have avocados. Ordered two mojitos. Out of mint.Vegetarian options: Portobello Saltado was excellent.“

“Emily our server was very attentive. She was nice and always checking on our table. The music was immaculate. Beautiful decorations and the food was amazing. I had the lomo saltado. Steak was tender and the green sauce was very good. If you’re a whiskey drinker i recommend the matchu pichu.“

“When I found out this family business is co-owned by a fellow Queens College Alum, I had to come!!! It's so inviting and the hostess (sister) was more than accommodating. We were seated quickly and we were able to see the menu both print and via QR Code. We (my husband and I) loved the drink we had as well as the Aji Galina and Arroz Chaufa con Pollo. Extra sauces and a small corn based appetizer was given right away as well. I also appreciated the clean bathroom, which has a urinal and normal toilet, also ADA/wheelchair friendly. The music was excellent too. The fact that this is also family friendly is the ultimate selling point. There's something on the menu for everyone. I will definitely come back with my in laws! This is the freshest, best Peruvian in NYS!!! I WISH YOU ALL THE SUCCESS AND DECADES IN BUSINESS!“

“Came here to eat with the family and we had an awesome experience. The service was amazing! I didn’t get her name but our server was very attentive and hilarious. We all ordered a variety of food like arroz chaufa, salchipapa, jalea mixto and we were 100% satisfied. Definitely worth going back to !“

“Aesthetically appealing on arrival. When we first arrived there was no hostess and we stood around for about 5 minutes before we had to flag down someone to seat us but, once seating the food came fairly fast and and servers were more attentive. Food is decent pretty much the same across all of your establishment. The green sauce is always a hit. Also had the chicken empanadas and for some reason they have olives In them ? first time for everything I guess but I’ll stay away from the empanadas from now on.“

“Staff is very friendly and efficient, rice and beans / plantains are really good! The buffalo chicken empanadas are my favorite.Vegetarian options: Tons of vegan desserts, empanadas and salad!Parking: Small parking lot, street parking just past the street light“

“Best Peruvian food in Long Island!! When craving peruvian food i don’t mind taking 45min ride just to get there, because is worth it! Its so hard to find the exact essence of peruvian cuisine and this restaurant knows how to do it. Meet this place back on 2020 and every time I go they exceed my expectations, polite, friendly and respectful. Food is the best!! Cabrito & anticuchos con rachi my favorite!!“

“Love this Peruvian restaurant. Had Lunch with family & friends after some massages, the restaurant was nicely decorated & the staff super friendly. The bar area was nice & there was a big screen TV with a little stage for singing or if they have an event I guess. Some of the staff spoke English but the majority spoke Spanish. The food was amazing! We had drinks, appetizers, main courses & even dessert. The portions were generous & everything was very tasty. I would definitely be back! Read the menu as there is a 4% up charge on credit card versus paying cash! Also gratuity is included in the bill.Kid-friendliness: They had lots of kid friendly dishes“

“The flavors here are unique and amazing! My party of 2 ordered 6 tapas and the churros for dessert, which came out to be a perfect amount of food. The most outstanding dishes were the lamb chops, soft shell crab tempura, and warm mushroom salad, but everyone was quite excellent! I'll definitely remember this place for another special occasion!“

“Great service! We enjoyed our dinner. It was my first time having beef heart and it was quite delicious. The chicken -pollo a la brasa is always amazing and so well seasoned. The skirt steak was good but I felt the portion of the steak could've been a tad bigger. The taxi tacu rice was yummy! Overall it was a satisfying dinner. We had their ice cream and it was unique flavors...I would recommend that you try it.“

“It is a very small place with 3 tables to accommodate like 12 people. The food is excellent. A lot of people take out. The portions are very big. The lunch specials they charge $15, which includes a large, tasty soup, salad, potatoes with cream, rice, and meat. I had the fried chicken. Go, give it a go!Parking: It's the strip mall parking in Staples complex.“

“If you're looking for a vibrant taste of Peru, look no further than La Candella II. The ambiance is electric, with plenty of seating to accommodate groups of all sizes. Weekends come alive with live music, adding an extra layer of entertainment to your dining experience. Flavorful dishes and wide selection of drinks.“

“(Translated by Google) Very good service. The popusas are delicious and only $ 2 !!The client cervical is very good here. The manager who took good care of me.(Original)Muy buen servicio. Las popusas son ricas y solamente a $2!!El cervical al cliente es muy bueno aquí. El manager que me atendió muy bien.“

“The BEST rotisserie chicken in Elmont! Even my vegetarian family members rave about the smell alone in the car when we get takeout rotisserie chicken and say it's the only time they've considered eating meat again. It is well seasoned and though it's getting pricey, the chicken is consistently good. The place is small but clean and the staff aren't necessarily chatty but not rude. I always miss this chicken when away from Elmont. Haven't ventured into the rest of the menu, but the chicken with rice and beans is my go-to.“

“I cant say enough nice things about this place. First of all...they have GREAT burgers! They are fresh, grilled on fire and the brioche buns are delicious. Everything that I and my family have ordered from there has been absolutely GREAT! The place is spotless clean, the owners and staff are wonderful and the prices are fair. This is one of my favorite places in the area!!! Try it tonight!“

“I'm shocked this restaurant doesn't have more reviews! This is truly an authentic and underrated Peruvian spot on Long Island. This location was formerly known as The Inkan Restaurant & Pisco Bar, but it had closed some time in 2021. Latino Café & Bar replaced this location afterwards (different owners). They have Peruvian fare as well as some Latin American dishes. I've been wanting to try this place for a while and finally decided to order lunch from here today. For lunch, I ordered the Lomo Saltado and a Chicken Empanada on DoorDash. The food was piping hot when it arrived and tasted so fresh! The steak was nice and tender. All of the food was seasoned very well. I also loved the spicy green sauce that came with my empanada. The food was very reasonably priced as well. I'll definitely be giving more dishes a try from this place. I highly suggest you do the same :) *Note* This restaurant makes delivery orders only on DoorDash and Uber Eats. They do not make orders on GrubHub! My order on GrubHub had unexpectedly been cancelled, but when I called the restaurant, woman on the phone told me they don't offer GrubHub.“

“I ate the food so fast I forgot to take a picture, food was excellent, waitress did not speak English but I know some spanglish so it worked out. Service was great, my wife and I both ordered from the grill, wife had salmon, i had the chicken, shrimp and sausage. I left a 20% tip. I will def be back.“

“I was there yesterday Saturday with my family and just love love this place. The food was delicious, the service fast and efficient and very friendly and attentive waiters. There was live music, and we had the best time ever there. Did t want to leave. So, we will be going there frequently. Thank you Candela restaurant for such a great amazing time.“
