Exploring Peruvian Cuisine in NYC | Harlemite Peruvian Cuisine
Just tried this hidden gem in uptown—Harlemite Peruvian Cuisine! Fresh ingredients, attentive service (our server kept checking if we needed anything), and a chill, quiet vibe. Highly recommend if you're curious about authentic Peruvian flavors! What We Ordered: 🍚 Arroz con Mariscos ($29) This seafood rice dish was packed with goodies—6-7 bouncy shrimp, tender octopus rings, a whole baby octopus, and mussels! Topped with zesty lemon-marinated red onions for that perfect crunch and freshness. Every bite was a flavor explosion of ocean goodness. 🍋 Ceviche ($26) Peru's famous "raw fish salad"! The shrimp version came with cinnamon-spiced sweet potato and giant corn kernels. Pro tip: It's SUPER tangy (hello, lime juice marinade!), but refreshing. We went with mild spice—perfect balance. And yes, the shrimp was properly raw (see that dark hue in the pic? That's the real deal!). Final Thoughts: A must-try for Peruvian food newbies! The portions are generous, and the flavors are bright and bold. 📍 Location: Uptown NYC #NYC #PeruvianFood #SeafoodLover #Ceviche #HiddenGems #FoodieAdventure #UptownEats
