Wanted to eat some good food and came across El Palacio Del Pollo…
To be a Friday afternoon or rather evening (5 pm) it was fairly packed… It seems like is more of a takeout spot.. lots of customers going in and out….
Anyway I've been to several Peruvian restaurants and this one is kind of pricey … It was $15 + a plate to be in west orange it is kind of pricey …
As soon as we got seated , the waitress was nice and came along w Peruvian corn which unlike other Peruvian restaurants was nice and warm and water…
I like that a lot of places u have to wait until you place your entrees to get water let along bread…
Hubby ordered half a chicken and it comes along w fries and salad along with that delicious spicy green sauce…
I ordered arroz chaufa con mariscos = seafood fried rice and it was delicious now I see why their prices are a little high for the area… Not only does it feed at least 4 people w one order but it was delicious… No complaints..
My husband's food was very tasty as well… I just had to have a pieces… The rotisserie chicken was flavorful, tender, but a little salty but still delicious…
Definitely a place I will revisit…
So you get here and you have hunk we went to the wrong place, well guess what, you're at the right place. The setting is traditional, straight to the point Peruvian style. Locally set, takes you straight to Peru. It's not high end, but the food is so well done.
We loved it actually. No pressure is suiting up to eat here, like said earlier, traditionally and locally set. Loosen up, embrace this setting and enjoy your payeya and soups and the meat here is plentiful as well.
Go here is you're really hungry, seriously! Else you will leave with a lot of food. And know what you're ordering, they do speak some English, so feel free to ask questions. Ask about the portion sizes, have them show you their plate and actually they can call you to the bar area when serving.
We were so full when we left here, and we'll make a quick stop anytime…. Enjoy!
We decided to have lunch here today and I'm so glad we did!
Our favorite Peruvian spot to eat is Pio Pio in NYC. Given were Jersey natives now, we have to make the best of our new environment. We found this place based on the reviews.
PROS:
– we were instantly greeted and seated
– our orders were taken immediately
– our hostess was friendly and polite
– our food was fresh! From the avocado salad to the seafood fried rice we ordered
CONS:
– the only con would be the parking. The area is extremely narrow and tight.
I would definitely recommend this place for those who enjoy Latin cuisine! Oh! And they only serve chicken Thursday through Sunday (not a pro or con…just a fact).
Sad, but I have to deduct a star based on most recent experience. If this had been my first experience at Palacio I would have walked away and never looked back. Waited at least half an hour for take out chicken, the chicken was dry and overcooked, and the side salad was already wilting with limpy brown leaves. Fries were ok. We tried a soup that was more pasta soaked in some broth rather than a legitimate soup. Not sure if this time was a fluke, but disappointing enough to update my previous review.
So we blew off our VDay steakhouse reservations to come here. For a couple of reasons, we were in the area and we just weren't in the mood for steak. Easy enough to find, has a small parking lot and street parking.
We were seated quickly, our waitress was so concerned that she didn't speak English and wanted someone else to help us, but the language of food is universal. The restaurant itself is a nicer sit down Spanish place with a bar and a take out area as you walk in. A good sized menu with typical Peruvian fare – we were like kids in a candy store and started ordering, our waitress stopped us and said thats too much food, ok let's not get the whole fried fish, but we wanted to!
We had the Patasca soup, a thick soup with all things I like – tripe, cow foot and some fatty beef ribs along with barley and pozole, it's a bland soup, and perfect at that. The mixed ceviche was flavorful with a spicy kick, the red onion that topped the dish rounded the dish out well. We also had the Seafood Stew – it was a sautéed fish filet topped in a seafood stew with all kinds of shrimp and shellfish in a nice red sauce.
The prices were really fair for these styles of seafood dishes, nothing was over $18. Will definitely return to this spot!
