I LOVE PERUVIAN FOOD.
I have no and it in several years and I was pleased to see they had my favorite dish. I love seco verde de carne. Its a Peruvian dish that is very popular and extremely delicious.
The food was so full of flavor, everything was so fresh. Also, it was so cheap! I had to have spent less than 15 for a full entree, rice beans and meat, a side dish, a morirsoñando [popular hispanic drink].
I WILL ABSOLUTELY COME AGAIN! Do not be fooled by the small location and bare minimum decorations. It is a lot better than how it looks. Service is not really good but for the food and price I could care less.
I'm moving to this neighborhood in a few weeks and my friend suggested we have lunch at La Granja Peruvian Restaurant. I can see how this restaurant might be a big problem for me and a bigger problem for my pants.
As others have stated, this place has the feel of a cheaper Pio Pio. That is both excellent and true news! My only gripes before we get to the good parts: beans were a little bland, whereas everything else was extremely flavorful; and when dining in, they don't offer you water…We'll work on that in my future visits.
This is a super casual spot, with an open kitchen behind the counter and everything is fresh and made-to-order, so don't expect to get your food in 10-15 minutes if you have multiple dishes.
Note: They have a baked chicken lunch special that comes with rice and beans, offered Monday through Friday.
Shrimp in garlic sauce, delicious and served with fried yucca. I ordered rice and beans and an order of maduros (sweet plaintains), plus their yummy garlic sauce. Their famed sauce has a lot more heat than the one at other Peruvian places, which I appreciate, BUT also is not nearly as garlicky, and I think that's probably more important. Everything we tried here was amazing–see photos– and it was a challenge, but we managed to eat everything we ordered. Stuffed, satisfied, and so happy to be moving a few blocks away this month!
Hands down the best peruvian restaurant I have been to. This beats Pio Pio in Manhattan and random establishments I tested out in Miami.. because you get quality AND quantity. Holy moly!
Food:
– arroz con marisco – my eyes bulged, my jaw dropped, my mouth watered. This plate was ridiculous. It can seriously feed 5 people. The seafood was huge, the rice was cooked tender and made perfectly flavorful without being too salty or dry. I was in love. I have leftovers for at least 5 more meals.. for $15!!
– avocado salad – pretty standard in terms of taste but so big i felt proud of myself for reaching my vegetable intake of the day.
– plaintains – the side of plaintains is basically an entree worth of food. my friend and I barely made a dent.
– beans – yummy but nothing too special. it was overshadowed by the arroz con marisco. i probably wouldn't order it again.
Service:
– our waitress was lovely! She provided us samples of their homemade beverage and was very delightful.
Please give this place a try! It is worth the trek!! I really hope I will get the chance to try more dishes in the future.
