I recently visited the Peruvian restaurant **Perú Taypa**, and while the food was flavorful and fresh, the overall experience was marred by poor service, which made my visit less enjoyable.
We ordered **arroz chaufa de pollo**, **tallarines verdes with steak**, and a **jalea de pescado and seafood**. As far as the food goes, I have no complaints – everything was well-prepared and tasted authentic. However, the **jalea de pescado and seafood** was disappointing. There was no fish in the dish, just **calamari**, which made it feel like it lacked the variety of seafood one would expect in such a dish.
The biggest negative was the **customer service**. The waiter only approached us to take our order, bring the food, and hand us the check. In other words, we saw him three times throughout the entire meal. The lack of effort to provide good service was clear. In places like this, one expects a more attentive and engaging experience, especially with such delicious traditional food. But the service was lacking.
We started to think that the **poor service** might be due to the fact that they automatically add a **15% tip**, which seems to reduce their motivation to go the extra mile in providing a pleasant experience. They don’t realize that this hurts the restaurant’s image, and it becomes an important factor when deciding whether or not to return.
To make matters worse, **if you pay with a card, there’s a 4% surcharge**, which is an inconvenient detail not mentioned upfront. This, without a doubt, added to the feeling that the restaurant isn’t focused on providing a complete and enjoyable experience for its customers.
In summary, the food was good, but the terrible service and additional charges for paying with a card make me hesitant to return. There’s a lot of potential in this place, but the service experience needs significant improvement.

Came here for take out. The energy we were met with was horrible. We walked in and said hello, no response. We stood there and after they looked at us and kept talking asked if we wanted a table. We said we would like to order take out. They said ok and a minute later asked if we needed menus… that is typically how you order food so yes, please give us a menu. We decide quickly to just get a whole chicken meal. The woman behind the bar and the man with the neck tats were so rude. It was like we were interrupting their night. We sat at the bar. We weren’t offered a drink or even spoken to again until the food was ready. The special comes with a 2L soda we were told to get 3 cans instead as they didn’t have what is on the menu. We didn’t like any of the options but were told that’s all we could do. No option to purchase something else just “no”. The chicken was good, the fries were soggy (I asked if I could substitute them for something else because I knew they were not going to be good or get another side however, she just said no. Again, no option to buy another side or anything just “No” ) salad was terrible so we threw that all away and had the only other side which she told e was shrimp fried rice and was NOT. It was pork and chicken.
They lack people skills, and basic kindness. On the way out, the same man walks out in front of me and lets the door close in my face. You only have to show me you don’t want my business once.
Everyone has a choice in where they dine, I will never return.

We heard about this restaurant and we are so glad we went. The food was absolutely delicious. We arrived at the height of the Saturday brunch crowd but were able to be seated in less than 10 minutes. Considering that it was so busy it was understandable that it took longer than usual for a server to come over to take our order. But the food more than made up for it. It was extremely fresh, tasty and very well seasoned. We already made reservations to celebrate my dad’a birthday here. I know he’s going to love it too.

I attended this restaurant with my family on Wednesday to celebrate my mother-in-law’s birthday. First, parking is terrible; I had to drive around to locate a spot (which is common in Newark). The establishment is small and charming, with live music. We ordered drinks and waited at least 20 minutes for 5 cocktail drinks; beer arrived faster. The establishment is relatively small and charming, with live music. We ordered cocktails and waited at least 20 minutes for five cocktail drinks; beers arrived quickly. Then we ordered 8 dishes: 2 chaufas, 2 arroz con mariscos, 2 tallarines verdes, 2 lomos carne, 1 jalea, and 1 tallarin saltado (which was changed 30 minutes later for a pescado frito because they ran out of spaguetti). The majority of the dishes took a long time to arrive, but the pescado frito took more than 50 minutes (for which they did not charge). The beverages were good, and our server was pleasant and constantly apologized for the late service. The food was acceptable, with generous servings that don’t justify the food quality or serving time.

It’s all good in the restaurant. The only reason why I didn’t it 5 Stars is because of the parking. It’s all street parking no lot. It’s very hard to find a parking being that it’s in a residential area. There’s no wheelchair entrance that I can remember.
The restaurant is very nice and clean. The employee’s are very helpful, and the rest rooms are clean as well. The food has a great taste and the green hot sauce is fantastic. I hope this helps you decide.

The good:
The environment was nice and comfortable.
The cocktails were very good.
My wife ordered green pasta and it was good.
The appetizer was delicious.
The bad:
My wife’s pasta was too small for the price.
My beef arroz chaufa wasn’t so tasty and the meet was tough. The appetizer came last when it’s supposed to come first and in addition I mentioned to the waiter that I wanted it first.
My wife’s dish came with beef instead of chicken when we said the word pechuga to the waiter and he repeated it.
In general a waiter should be always making eye contact with his customers in case they need to call him. We needed him to come for more hot sauce and to request the check but he kept passing and not giving the chance to call him. He did approached a couple times to ask if everything was OK though but sometimes those times is when customers are just fine.

We were looking for a Perubian restaurant, and I found this restaurant on Google that looked very cozy. We decided to visit it, We ordered chicha morada, which was very good. We didn’t order an appetizer, but we decided to order jalea and chaufa rice. The rice was very good, I like to be honest, but the jalea unfortunately was too salty. The waitress never came around to ask if everything was alright; quite a bit of time passed, and we had already finished the chaufa rice. When the waitress finally came over, I told her to let the appropriate person know that the jalea was too salty. She came back and asked if we wanted another dish. It had been a long time, and I hoped they wouldn’t charge us for that dish, but they didn’t. They only gave us a small consolation dessert. We don’t like to make a fuss, but I always tell the truth in my reviews.

I had high expectations trying this place, but I was very disappointed.This experience was unacceptable and alarming. The chicken we ordered tasted spoiled, which is a serious food safety concern. Because of this, my children could not eat the food at all, and we had to throw it away. Serving food in this condition is completely irresponsible. The seafood chaufa was barely acceptable and not worth the money. Overall, the quality was extremely poor, especially the chicken. This was our first and last time ordering here. I strongly do not recommend this place.
This was takeout order.

I have been meaning to come eat here. We only ordered appetizers. The ceviche was good. The Causa de Pollo was soft and fresh. The best in the area. Our food came out fairly quickly. I need to return to taste other items. Many plates passed by and they looked inviting.
The space is small so call to check if they have a long wait.
Parking is very difficult in this area of Newark. There is a sign outside that says Valet Parking but I never saw anyone there to take my car.

The food at this Peruvian restaurant was good and above average compared to other Peruvian spots in New Jersey. I ordered the ceviche carretillero. The flavor was good, but I was expecting a slightly larger portion. Unfortunately, the leche de tigre was overly salty, which affected the overall experience.
My wife ordered the tallarines a la huancaína con bistec. The portion was very generous, and she enjoyed the dish since we had tried it during our trip to Peru. However, she mentioned that the huancaína sauce was a bit watery, and the steak was overcooked.
Regarding the service, there is definitely room for improvement. My wife entered the restaurant first while I was looking for street parking. When I entered shortly after, I was not greeted, and none of the staff seemed to notice me, although they did greet customers who arrived after me—so this may have been an isolated incident. We also had to call the waitress to place our order because it took quite a while for her to come over. While interaction with customers could improve, she did correctly repeat our order, which we appreciated.
The food arrived one dish at a time instead of together, which seems to be common in Peruvian restaurants but is still not ideal. The gratuity was already included in the bill, but this was not mentioned beforehand, which would have helped us plan accordingly. I did not order alcohol, but I noticed that it is available.
After our food was served, we noticed staff picking food from a plate at the bar, which made us wonder if it was a customer’s plate. Additionally, our waitress was eating in the dining area next to us, which felt unprofessional.
On a positive note, the ambiance was great. The décor was well done, the music was on point, and the restaurant had good vibes overall. The front dining area was cold, while the back was warm and cozy. However, the restroom was poorly maintained, with a broken paper towel holder and a soda dispenser pulled from the wall.
Overall, while the food and atmosphere had some highlights, the service and professionalism issues stood out. We probably would not return to this restaurant.
