"I highly recommend this Don Pollo". 10/10I ordered the ceviche, and it was honestly the best I've tried in NYC. I regret not taking a picture, but that only means I need to revisit soon. The drinks were also fantastic, especially the passion fruit pisco sour." Service was fast and staff were friendlyI came back 8/21 and omg if anything this restaurant just got better and better. I got Fina Estampa, Bella Durmiente, Magia Mezcal y Passion Fruit Sour drinks which i highly recomend. Altho i love all of them, magia mezcal was my favorire.This time i got a " don pollo ceviche " which it have fry calamari in the ceviche and leche de tigre. And OMG "papa a la huacaina" is something you must try !!! Is Delicious.. the arroz con mariscos is something thay as a peruvian im afrain to order ... but guys when im tell you the flavor was give me the vives of been in the beach eathing this dish is Unbelievable!!!!

This is my favorite place around work now. Their green sauce is very good and the fries are crunchy. Amazing! Their chicken taste really good, ordered 3 chickens for my bible study class. Food is amazing! Must try if you are close by.

For a Peruvian food at reasonable price, this is the spot. Their green sauce is soooo good. Just enough thickness and a bit of a kick, would buy if it came in bottles.The ceviche mixto was a refreshing delight, the variety of seafood was a good ratio, plus the shrimp tails and mussels shell were removed. Definitely appreciate it, so I don’t have to use my hands or other utensils to eat.The lomo saltado was also amazing with enough flavors but not overpowering. It does go well with the green sauce. I appreciate that the fries are separate from the beef to ensure they don’t get soggy. The wait staff asked how I preferred the meat prepared, I recommend medium rare/ medium.

Went to this Peruvian location yesterday 10/11/21 for dinner for the first time with some friends. .service was a little slow at first because there was only one waitress, but it was worthwhile then another waiter started after 4pm. Our waitress Marjorie was amazing and the owner of the restaurant Rafael is very welcoming and makes sure customers are having a good time and everyone is happy. The ambience Is it good for family and friends the food is fresh and very good the sangria is amazing and then there is after hour Monday through Friday from 4 to 6.Recommended and will return.

As a peruvian born & raised this is the best Peruvian food place in Queens. I hope it gets the hype it deserves.
