“I hated Lima beans, until I ate them at Contento. In fact, everything I ate there was perfection. My husband and I sat at the bar, which is exactly where I’d sit again. It’s cozy, comfortable and you can see some of the kitchen action as well as chat with fellow diners. The chef came out and helped us pick out a great bottle of wine. I use a wheelchair, which is what first attracted me to going to Contento. I appreciate feeling included. But I have recommended the place to friends and the next time I’m in New York I look forward to going back.“

“Te amo Mission Ceviche! My Boyfriend took me here for my birthday. The entire staff treated me like a King! The customer service at this restaurant is absolutely incredible! The food is a gastronomical fantasy. Incredible flavors, fresh ingredients, truly mouth-watering meals. My Boyfriend is from Peru and he says Mission Ceviche is like coming home for him. He is practically obsessed with the two ceviche dishes (Mixto y Classico). For me it is the short ribs. O-M-G I don’t think I have EVER had a meal so memorable and incredibly delicious. To be honest my words do not do the deliciousness of this meal justice. Simply put...it is oh so good. The short rib is cooked to perfection and is so tender you can eat it with a spoon. The accompanying sides are the perfect compliment. The sauce that’s used...I hope they bottle it because I would buy vats of it! The rice with choclo is sublime. The tres leches rich, creamy and absolutely decadent. The food is amazing. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous. The music is fiyah. The location is super convenient—a half a block to the subway and Crosstown bus. What really sets Mission Ceviche apart is the incredible Maitre’d Carlos. He treats all patrons the same...from babies in strollers to celebrities. He is so incredibly kind, humble, gracious, charming, intelligent, professional and inspiring. He is passionate and proud. It is awesome to see him keep the atmosphere ebullient and festive and the food flowing. He manages it all so effortlessly. I think it is because he honestly loves his chosen career and when you’re happy and you know it “work” is pure joy. That joy Carlos gives it to all of the Mission Ceviche patrons. This was not me and my Boyfriend’s first time dining at Mission Ceviche. We are now greeted by our first names when we arrive. Carlos is there and he has the biggest smile and we know that we are in great hands and know we will eat well. Every dining experience at Mission Ceviche is amazing! Go to this restaurant...make the reservation...you will not be disappointed...trust me! Bravo Carlos and the entire Mission Ceviche staff.“

“Everything was amazing!!! If you get one thing, get the artesano ceviche. I would honestly do a tasting menu of all ceviches. I also got the chicha morada mocktail, classic ceviche, scallop tiradito, amuse bouche, palette cleanser, corn dessert, and passion fruit sorbet. Make sure to get the cancha!!! Soooooo good!“

“This Peruvian-Japanese fusion restaurant is a delightful blend of artistry and flavor. From the moment we stepped inside, the ambiance and decoration captivated our senses. We ordered 3 course prix fixe brunch, and every single dish was a culinary masterpiece. From the trout ceviche to the salmon tartare, wagyu beef paired with sunny side up eggs, and the curry katsu, every bite was flavorful. It blends artistry and gastronomy, highly recommended:)“

“Yea, this place is amazing. We were looking for a quick bite in LIC on a hot day. We were able to sit down before the kitchen break at 3:30pm to order entrees. We sat in the outdoor seating area, which had great jungle ambiance. Servers were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. They have a great cocktail menu. Started off with a few drinks, the pisco sours were amazing. We tried the ceviche mixto and arroz con mariscos, fresh and delicious seafood. There is limited but parking available! Overall, great food, beautiful interior decor, great service, and decent pricing for the area.“

“Because I had to walk back to Times Square from pier 83, I blindly selected this store on the way. It was very quiet in front of the door. I thought it was not open. After entering, I found that it was very big inside and the atmosphere was very good.We ordered a soup, a starter, and three main dishes; the portions were very large, and we felt a little full after finishing the appetizers. The appetizer of beef heart skewers was very suitable for our taste. It was a bit spicy and the children ate a whole skewer. The soup tastes like a non-acid Tom Yum soup, which is very appetizing and relieved my discomfort caused by the boat ride. The three main dishes were also great. The kids thought the chicken was delicious and almost ate the whole quarter. The steak rice has the feel of Pepper Kitchen and the flavor of Xinjiang rice bowl. The fries underneath are very crispy and it is delicious when served hot. I couldn't eat the paella so I packed it away, but I tried it and it was delicious. There was a lot of seafood in it. A very cost-effective store, the menu prices are not expensive, the service is very good, and the customers are almost always attentive. Highly recommended!“

“I live in Manhattan and I decided to go today, Monday, April 29, 2024, to the Caleta 111 restaurant and it was worth the train trip that lasted an hour. The extraordinary corvina ceviche, the lomo saltado and the good seafood chaufa rice.The decoration of the place is very cool, I am Peruvian and I also work in a restaurant (Hirohisa.) It is Japanese food, we have had a Michelin star there since 2017. I have been in this area of cooking for so long and I recommend them to you.“

“Frida has become one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. They take pride in their presentation and it is evident in every area (outdoor seating, service, wall decor, food, and even the restrooms). My Coconut Margarita was incredible. The perfect blend of sweetness and tequila made every drop amazing and enjoyable. We started with the Pulpo Asado (Octopus). It came on a bed of mash potatoes, was nice and firm, and the dipping sauces complemented every bite. The Watermelon Salad was a work of art. The rocoto orange dressing placed this dish into the stratosphere. So glad that I ordered it and highly recommended. Our entrees were all exquisite. The Birria Tacos were flavorful, had a spicy dipping sauce, and a savory birria broth that made this selection incredible. The Birria Ramen was just as good as the photo that I've presented. Each ingredient came together to create unique explosions of flavor and makes this another recommended item. The sides were just as impressive as the entrees. We ordered the Queso Fresco (Fresh Cheese) Sweet Plantains and Yuca (Casava) Fries. Both... amazing. Don't hesitate to come to Frida and enjoy modern cuisine at its finest.“

“The food was very excellent, we had fish ceviche, lomo saltado and it reminded me of my Peru. The only thing they should improve is the service, but apparently they don't have enough employees, but I would give it another chance because if you would come back just for the food.“

“On Sunday, March 17, I went with the family for the first time to celebrate my son Adrian's birthday, we had a great time, the food was great. I have worked for a long time at the Hirohisa Restaurant in Soho, which has had a Michelin star since 2017 and I found the Peruvian food excellent. (I am Peruvian). I recommend it. The lomo saltado is really filet mignon and cooked to perfection, delicious male corvina, spicy shrimp, chaufa rice with chicken and not to mention the pineapple pisco sour the best, etc.“

“Tasty Peruvian food in the neighborhood! Everything was seasoned well and balanced by the mild sweetness of chiacha morada we had as well. Really enjoyed the pasta, it was creamy but not heavy. And always a fan of Peruvian style chicken. Portions were also generous. Loved trying the lucuma ice cream and picarones for the first time too, ended up eating them together and the fresh warm picarones paired well with the cold ice cream. Flavors were great. Need to swing by for a weekday lunch at some point! Service was also super fast and helpful.“

“We have eaten at Surfish four or five times - two brunches and the rest dinners. Every time, the food has been great, the service friendly and efficient. I have had the ramen, the leg of lamb and the black paella. All very good, all big portions, and I'm a big eater. Nice lunch when reheated the next day. Great caipirinhas and margaritas. Our newest fave restaurant.“

“Great experience, waiter was very knowledgeable and explained every single detail. He was also very engaging. Food was definitely very good and there was many great options. Only reason im not giving it a 5 star is because the place looks fancy the people that go were very well dressed but the utensils did not look up to that it may be very minor detail but i feel like its all part of the dining experience.“

“This place is cute. It's small and cozy but plays really great music not only Spanish but English too Ans it's not even that annoyingly loud. The staff top tier, they're great and amazing they make sure you're okay within a reasonable time and they're like annoying about it. I only had appetizers and drinks and both was really good I can only imagine their food is as good as the apps. Overall experience was great I love it. It's a great place to go with friends to catch up or even with a partner to have dinner.“

“We ordered the ribs platter and the ribs and chicken platter. Everything was delicious. The ribs were dinosaur sized and were delicious. I deducted one star cause it was pricey and the rice was undercooked. I saw this restaurant on IG so I wanted to try. Drive from other side of Queens. If in the area, I will buy.“

“This is an amazing and underrated spot. Not only are the Ceviches authentically recreated, the star of the show, the Molkajete is one of the best Mexican grill showcases around. The Peruvian dishes like the Lomo saltado maybe be a bit untraditional in presentation but the flavor is to die for. I highly recommend you come, try the amazing food, and say hello to the wonderful owners.“

“Absolutely delicious and stunning restaurant! Some of the best drinks I’ve had so far and I love that they all give you a taste of Peru with authentic and unique Peruvian fruits and flavors. I had the ceviche de pescado, chaufa de mariscos and arroz con mariscos. Super fresh and flavorful. The drinks and food complemented well and the dessert was the cherry on the cake! Definitely recommend as a must try if you’re in the area. Worth your time and money.“

“Great authentic Peruvian food , the best ceviche that isn’t ridiculously overpriced in the city ! As a person who comes from South American background and grew up in Queens going to many Peruvian restaurants the flavor is definitely worth the trip to Essex Market in LES if you want an authentic ceviche mixto in Manhattan.“

“Came to this place today, Sunday, for early lunch with the family. Since we were the only customers at that moment, we knew that we would get our orders pretty fast and we were all hungry. The place looked great and food even better! Anticuchos and Jalea is what we ordered appetizers and the specials of the day, Baked Fish and Arroz de Mariscos were really delicious. The classic Peruvian Rotisserie Chicken could not be forgotten which was just as good. Definitely recommend this place. Wished I had my phone to show how great all our orders looked. We’ll be back whenever we are in the area for sure!!“

“I am given this five stars based on the seasoning of their roasted chicken and their green sauce. Outstanding flavors packed with a lot of Peruvian authentic seasonings.. you're gonna want to take my award for it on this one the place is tiny not that many seats so make sure you get there little bit after 5 PM. Only thing I would say is $40 for a sangria which pretty much juice you have to try their chicken Peruvian fried rice not as salty as typical Chinese rice, but still delicious. Always get a side of avocado salad to cleanse your pallet from the richness and fat that is all I will be back and then some and back again lol enjoy.“

“PROs - food taste , location , price , food quantity CONs - service , ambience , spacing between tables !! 3.5 stars First timer . Wanted to try something new and spotted this restaurant in Google with 4+ review. First of all , it was a little tough to spot this restaurant .. it got lost to the restaurant next door called Babylon :). Wish they had some side boards . Price wise it was ok. Paid about 15 $ for lunch special .. service could be better . The women who took order didn't want to answer me about the menu. I'm new to Peruvian cuisine and didn't know what each food meant . Good was actually delicious . Loved the quarter chicken .. it was really tasty and well made . Salad was ok. Rice and bean was so good . There was very less space between tables .. you are almost sitting very close fo the next table and whatever they speak , you can hear and it's kinda not that good . Just for the food I gave 4 stars . Wanted to give 3 stars but 1 more star for the chef ..“

“Fantastic food and service! I originally tried to order on Uber Eats and the restaurant website online for delivery, but neither would allow me. I finally called the restaurant who graciously offered to deliver to Astoria without hesitation, on a snowstorm day (of course I added tip to my order, that was incredibly kind). The food arrived with a very kind gentleman, and it was absolutely delicious! Very happy with this place - will definitely be back :) ..thank you so much!“

“I’ve been coming to El Sombrero for years. The food has been very consistent and my Mexican and Peruvian friends love this place. I have come here as well as taking it to go. We don’t even live nearby, but we like it so much, that we drive half an hour to eat here. I’ve brought friends from all over the world to eat this ceviche.That said, tonight was a bit different. We were served by Miriam (according to the receipt). She was not only rude, she would roll her eyes every time we asked for something.I usually run into the sweet lady who’s always there who seems to be a manager or one of the owners, not sure. But I would have loved it if she was there so she could have a conversation with this girl.I’m definitely gonna be coming back, but I’m gonna wish that that girl is not our server next time“

You might have a slight longer wait than in other places but!! the food is done to order and not sitting under a heating lamp.Adding this place to my weekly rotation for sure. I’ve ordered delivery from Warique at least five times now and, if done/ordered within a reasonable distance , it gets delivered quite fast.I’m looking forward to trying to the rest of the menu.“

“My sister was in town and she was landing in LAG and we wanted something that wasn't what we typically eat when she visits. Checked out a couple of options using google search and narrowed it down to those spot.We don't speak Spanish so it was difficult for us at first to communicate, but after pointing at a couple of options and using Google translate we all felt like the waitresses distant cousins!We ordered this appetizer sampler and 3 entrees and everyone ate family style. It was 4 of us and we all had enough to eat plus leftovers.The place was neat and clean and they offered selections of native Peruvian beer, libation and non alcoholic options. Game was playing too!Definitely would give this place another shot if I'm in the neighbors.“
