Peruvian restaurant ★4.0 (83)·$10–20

199 S Regent St, Port Chester, NY 10573, USA

4.0
I visited this location mid-July 2025. The place was very welcoming with minimal décor. I ordered the half chicken with the Chaufa rice and the vegetables. The food was okay. However, when I warmed up my food later, I noticed a part of my chicken was not cooked all the way. It was pink. I threw it out immediately as I didn’t want to get sick from consuming the chicken. I give this restaurant 3 stars for how polite they were and how attentive they were. This is a tiny place I’m not sure if It’ll work for larger parties or you may just need it to yourself. The prices were very reasonable. The restaurant accepts both card and cash. I arrived by car so I’m unsure what public transportations options are near by. Being from NYC I’ve had Peruvian food before. I would not return to this place. - Brittany Holland
