SOOOO good! Arroz Chaufa was amazing and so flavorful! Maduros Fritos tasted like heaven and paired well with the savory rice!

The food here is incredible! I don't know how they get their chicken so juicy. With the spices they use, it is the best chicken I have ever had. The empanadas are crunchy and sweet. Their mild sauce is definitely mild, but still with wonderful flavor. If you like spicy, their spicy sauce is for you. The verde is in between, the chipotle is smokey (my favorite), and their chimichurri is probably the I've ever had. All of their desserts are delicious, but the Maracuyá (passion fruit) mousse might be my favorite dessert on the planet. It is so tangy, light, and fluffy. If you're like me and most desserts are too sweet for you, then you might really like the mousse. Or you could order the maduros frito (fried plantains). They are sweet enough to be a dessert for sure. The bowls are large enough for two meals. The chicken sandwich is also pretty large and the sauce on the sandwich is delicious. The Chicha Morada really does taste like nonalcoholic sangria. The cinnamon and cloves give it an extra kick too. I've never tried the beef, so I can't speak to it. But based on how awesome everything else has been, I'm sure it's pretty good. Also, they are fast! The food comes fast and they have never screwed up our order. Keep up the amazing work, Culantro!

Lomo saltado was good like the peruvian spots in NJ. But portions are a lot smaller. 4 pieces of meat and like 5 fries. I ordered the empanadas definitely not a fan. Mine was suppose to be chicken but mostly white onions. Overpriced for what you get but you can tell its higher quality ingredients. Just not tasty
