I came here with my boyfriend for dinner at around 6 on a Friday. From the website, I expected it to be a little more formal, but I guess the upstairs is only for private parties or maybe later in the evening. Anyway, I ordered the bistec encebollado (steak and onions) and my boyfriend ordered the bistec a lo pobre (steak with fried egg, maduros, rice & beans). The food was plentiful, authentic, and delicious. The waitress was friendly and substituted my rice for a salad since I was cutting carbs. I would consider it pricey for the area, but it sure was tasty with lots to go around. I would go back and maybe try them later at night or for a larger party.
Had a great dinner with my co-workers after school. The only bummer is that they don't serve beer or liquior.
My friend took me there. I was skeptical at first, but was nicely surprised afterwards. Glad when that happens.

Location: Elizabeth, NJ. Not exactly the part of town that I would go to, but now that I know, I'd definitely come here when I go visit Ikea or Jersey Garden. The place is relatively new with private parking. It is clean with a banquet room on top so it gets quite crowded when they have a party upstairs.
Service: Very good service. They patiently explain various menu items. They also gave us free french fries so I give them kudos for trying to get new customers.
Price: A bit pricier than a regular peruvian chicken place but you also get the cleaner place and better service. Entrees go for $6-$23.
Food:
Cheviche: Generous portion and fresh! You can pick either fish only, or mixed seafood. It is not overtly sour and has a good balance coming from the red onions and crunchiness from the fried corn kernels.
Peruvian Chicken: A must. They did it well. I prefer dark meat but that's just me. There were 4 of us so we ordered the whole chicken. Think most of us prefer the dark meat so next time, I'm gonna go for either half or quarter, dark only.
Bistek: Basically skirt steak with their own special gravy. The sauce is wonderful and goes really well with the rice.
Side dishes:
Rice: garlic flavored rice. yummo! goes well with most of the main entrees.
Fried yucca: They make it crispy with enough seasoning.
Sweet plantain: Very good and not as oily.
Will definitely come back again. Glad my friend took me here.
