This place can definitely bring you to Peru once you taste their food. I'm so glad El Mamut reemerged after the old facility burned down to the ground. Once it opened its doors again, large crowds of people returned for its amazing Peruvian style sandwiches. El Mamut provides more space, a nicer atmosphere (3 flat screen TVs) but the same quality, family-driven service that makes El mamut an outstanding sandwich shop.
What do I get? Try the pan con Asado is a signature sandwich from Peru. It's beef slowly cooked to perfection. Just like the ones in Peru. Onions vinaigrette can be put on the side if you like.
The empanadas are great too . Baked style. You can take some home.
El surtido is a smoothie composed of pineapple, papaya, strawberry, banana and beets. This is a classic Peruvian smoothie. You can take out the sugar that they add if you want. Great way to start your morning.
I will come back every time I get a chance as long as they keep providing that excellent customer service.
I stopped here for lunch today. I was not really busy. I did notice a few people came to pick up their order. I ordered a Chicaron sandwich and a guanabana shake made with water not milk at the counter. They brought out really fast.
The pork in my sandwich was substantial. The guy kept checking on me to see if I needed anything. He offered more hot sauce but I didn't need anymore.
There's 3 TV with Spanish channel on. The place is spacious and really clean.
I ordered a Lucuma shake with milk for the ride home. I can't really describe guanabana or what lucuma taste like. But they taste good! My 2 shakes and sandwich came out to be $15.50. Not too bad for very authentic Peruvian sandwich.
I'd hang out here and sip on a few shakes if there was free wifi offered, but I shouldn't it's Passaic afterall.
