Food was good but completely overpriced. Expect the worst service in NYC. Never coming back here again.

My family and I (party of five) visited this restaurant yesterday, and it was a major disappointment especially for a place that once proudly held three Michelin stars. We’ve dined here many times in the past and always had high expectations, but this recent visit made it clear that the quality has gone significantly downhill.
As soon as we arrived, the owner’s wife informed us they were only accepting cash “just for today.” However, after reading other reviews, I noticed several customers have been told the same thing on different occasions. It feels misleading and gives the impression they may be trying to avoid credit card fees or worse, taxes. Either way, it was not a good start to the evening.
The food itself was far from what it used to be. My husband paid $39 for Lomo Saltado that came with just ten tiny, low-quality pieces of meat. The fries were burnt, soggy, and drenched in oil we had to send the dish back. My daughter’s ceviche was $29 and served in a portion so small it resembled an appetizer. My arroz con mariscos lacked flavor and the rice was soggy. My mother’s parihuela was just okay nothing special or memorable.
We didn’t even order food for our six-year-old son, and our total came out to $154 plus tip—$175, for all of us to leave disappointed and still hungry. This is absolutely not the kind of experience anyone should be having at a restaurant with Michelin recognition.
Sadly, this visit confirmed that we won’t be returning. It’s disheartening to see such a beloved spot lose its way.

I was very excited to find a Michelin reviewed restaurant in Queens but what a disaster it turned out. The food was terrible and the service couldn’t be worse. Please avoid this place at all cost.

What a disaster. Can’t comment on food because never got served. Arrived just before 1pm on Tuesday (website said they open at noon). Seated at back. Awful blinking white light coming from someplace, sticky table. Shown a QR code to download the menu and then QR code paper was taken away to show to another table. Never served water or given napkins and utensils. 15 min later, I walk to the front to ask if we can place an order. Was told the chef isn’t in and the guy who seated us can cook the food but left (I think she said to get more shrimp?). We waited another 5 minutes, went to seek an update but there was none. Then we left. Extra note: I tried calling several times the day before during mid/late afternoon to inquire about parking nearby and no one ever picked up. Food might be delicious (??) but they clearly don’t know how to run a business.

I loved it, true Peruvian flavor and the place is cute, you feel a beach vibe, the decoration of the place is great, the seasoning is spectacular, the service too, highly recommended ✨????????

Caleta 111 is a culinary gem in Richmond Hill!
This place NEVER disappoints. My husband and I have dined here a few times, and have ordered takeout just as much. Honestly, if I could eat this every day, I would.
The menu offers a journey through vibrant, sometimes unexpected, yet surprising flavors and thoughtful dishes. My personal favorites are the Tiger's Milk, Lomo Saltado, Chica Morada, and cancha - which is a perfect snack on its own! The Tiger' Milk is an explosion of fresh, tangy and savory flavors that excite the palate, while the Lomo Saltado is the ultimate comfort food - perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with bold flavors.
If you're looking for something different, order the Chaufa de Mariscos. From the very first bite, we got instant dopamine hits - the unexpected flavors were a sensory experience that left us saying "ooh!" with each bite.
Don't leave without ordering the Chicha Morada. Its a definite must-have. This refreshing, cold Peruvian purple corn drink is lightly sweet with hints of cinnamon and clove that make you feel at home. It's like a non-alcoholic mulled wine, but better - comforting and reminiscent of Christmas, pure perfection in a glass.
[I think they rotate desserts, but if the Peruvian ice cream is on the menu, definitely try it. I'll be back to try the others.]
The staff is always attentive and friendly. Whether it's your first time or 10th time, they'll ensure you have a great experience. If you're unfamiliar with something on the menu, ask and they're more than happy to explain and recommend dishes that suit your tastes. This definitely adds to the cozy vibes of the restaurant.
The decor is another standout feature, most of it seemingly handmade - I think I've seen them working on a few pieces in the past (I live in the neighborhood). Every detail feels intentional, with a personal touch that perfectly complements the amazing food.
From the appetizers, to the desserts, you can taste the quality and care that the chefs put into every item on the menu. Whether you're dining in or ordering takeout, Caleta 111 is more than a meal - it's a flavorful adventure I know I'll return to time and time again.

I recently visited Caleta 111, and I am absolutely impressed! The ceviche here is some of the best I’ve ever tasted—fresh, vibrant, and perfectly seasoned with that addictive touch of lime and ginger. The leche de tigre is a standout, adding layers of depth to each bite. The combination of fresh seafood like octopus, shrimp, and scallops was simply excellent
Yesterday was my. First visit: excellent Delicious food, and the margaritas With lemon and passion fruit, which was excellent, my companion tried the sangria, very good too. Very good experience I recommend it
