If you were ever kidnapped into the heart of Peruvian country in Paterson then just hope you have your last meal here. They serve the best tasting Peruvian tamale ever. I'm not sure if they make it at the place or not. I've known places to purchase tamales from grandmas and boil and serve it at the restaurant. It's the best tamale because the massa is infused with that chili thing (spice) with a lot of lard or fat that makes the tamale so tender and unlumpy. and it doesn't have that off pudding olive I grew up hating.
The chicarron sandwich is also very good because they bake their bread fresh there. The sandwich also has sliced yams and pickled onion which complements the fatty pork meat. They also give you lots of onions with the tamale. There's also a build your on sandwich. They give you a disassembled platter of ingredients for more $$.
I know you might not believe me because I'm Asian but I was assembled in Peru before I was smuggled to the United States by my parents and assimilated with everyone else. So, there's some credibility to my Peruvian food knowledge.
As you enter, walk past the small grocery part in the room and walk towards the back where all the tables are. You don't have to punch the strongest and biggest guy there but sit down and order yourself a tamale and the chicarron sandwich. You will feel like the man when you much on this meal.
The coffee is watered down with a lot of milk. You might want to ask for it on the side.
For Paterson, The bathroom is impeccability clean.
It kinda helps if you know Spanish. But. if you don't just show them pictures on your yelp app.
I need to find more gems like this. Hit me up! And I can Punch the nastiest guy there and be DUKE!
