Yesterday around 2:30pm, I asked the waitress in English and in Spanish if they cook with peanuts / peanut oil of any kind because I’m extremely allergic to peanuts and was told no. My parents asked again because we were far from home, they also got reassured they don’t cook with peanuts. I’m half Peruvian and am always cautious to ask about peanuts in food ESPECIALLY sauce based dishes because of my severe allergy. There was also 0 allergen sign in the menu. I was so excited to eat my food and share with my family as we all got varying dishes (lomo saltado, ceviche, salchipapas, chaufa and my dish tallarines verdes con bistec) and a big 2L inka kola. We were having a great conversation, the atmosphere was light because of the music.
I took one bite out of my food and my mouth was tingly, my lip began to visibly swell and I ended up throwing up four times in their restroom. My parents immediately spoke again with two of the servers and a manager and only then did she actually confirm that my plate ( Tallarin verde con bistec) had peanuts in the sauce. While that happened my parents spoke with the restaurant and they didn’t offer us any help, they didn’t even seem like they actually cared that I may die. My parents paid full price for everything even though we didn’t even finish as we had to rush out to get me to an er. Instead we got asked, “do you want us to pack up the food for you”.
My brother was thankfully calm enough to drive us from here (3pm) to the hospital as he and my parents had to tend to my 2 year old toddler while I injected myself with an EpiPen in the parking lot to lessen the reaction just enough for me to even get to an e.r.
I was in the er for 8hrs before finally being released, I don’t recommend that to anyone.
What was supposed to be a great weekend outing for us as a family turned into a full day of worrying if i was going to be hospitalized and intubated. On top of me now having to pay a medical bill and take medications post e.r. visit to help with all the side effects that come with an EpiPen and allergic reaction subduing.

Fresh and delicious food here with super friendly service. We are from out of town and decided to give El Miski 2 a try. We are so glad we did. The place was clean and the food is authentic as it gets. Wonderful meal with our teenage son and his friend.

The chicken is to die for good. Juicy like nothing I’ve ever eaten. The sides are meh, but you go there for the chicken which cannot be beat.
Parking is a bear. No room to pick and choose. 9A traffic is relentless and fast. Dangerous place to pull out. Recommend you order take-out so you are in and out fast.

Best peruavian food I ever taste. Jalea mixta is off the hook, is perfectly cook. And Chaufa de carne is on another level.
The staff is super friendly and the owner ANGELA IS the sweetest lady ever. I recommend anybody to come here try their food.

Good food. We got the 1/2 roast chicken with 2 sides which is a bargain: $14 and it feeds 2 (they have 1/4 chicken but it’s just $2 less). Chicken was great, salad good, rice was rice. Got served ~5-10 minutes after ordering. My spouse also got a soup full of seafood (crab, fish etc) which they liked, but it’s not my thing. Stopped there en route from New England to NYC; this restaurant is easy off, easy on I-287 the Cross Westchester Expy that leads to the Tappan Zee aka Mario Quomo bridge. It’s just east of I-87 and the Saw Mill River parkway which run south to NYC.
If you know Spanish that’s great. If you only know English (like us) then the paper menu in the restaurant has English (& Spanish) descriptions of everything, and numbers for all the dishes, so you can read it and order by number. We trust the quality in a family-run type of place like this more than a fast food chain partly or fully staffed by teenagers, if you know what I mean. Sorry we ate a bunch of the chicken before I took the photo.

I had been there 2 times and fist time I went, we order ceviche shrimp with fish and it wasn’t that good. They pour little juice and felt like dry. We also order the full chicken and yes that was delicious, good flavor.
I would definitely go there again for the chicken but not for ceviches.

Really good Peruvian food. I highly recommend the Parihuela! Really delicious and tangy for a fair price of $16.75

Best Peruvian food in Westchester County. Family atmosphere run by hard working and humble people. I regret not taking pictures of the food like I usually do, it just looked so good that I went straight to eating. The Sustancia de carne o pollo soup was delicious. The half rotisserie chicken with fries and rice is an amazing value given the price and amount of food you get. My wife loved the ceviche (I can’t give an opinion because I’m just not a fan of ceviche in general). We finished up with the yummy flan and alfajor for dessert. They even have Inca kola which is hard to come by. We will most definitely be returning.
