Peruvian Restaurants in New Jersey

Our guide to Peruvian restaurants in New Jersey

Latin American and Caribbean restaurants bring together dozens of national cuisines: Cuban sandwiches and ropa vieja, Puerto Rican mofongo, Peruvian ceviche and lomo saltado, Colombian and Venezuelan arepas, Salvadoran pupusas, Brazilian churrasco, Jamaican jerk and Haitian griot. Many are family-run and closely tied to the community around them.

Rice and beans, plantains (sweet maduros or crispy tostones) and slow-cooked meats appear across the region, but seasoning, sauces and techniques differ a lot between countries. Menus often list dishes in Spanish, Portuguese or Creole with short English descriptions – staff are usually glad to explain.
