Don Alex Restaurant — Restaurant in Elizabeth

First and last time I come to this place. I got a whole chicken with French fries and rice. Let me tell you the French fries were hard as if they were sitting for a long time and the roasted chicken had basic flavor pretty much no flavor at all. The sauces aren’t even worth getting, also the green and yellow sauce sucked it’s not the same at all like other places I’ve ordered from. The yellow sauce is like lemony and the green sauce is super spicy and it’s missing something. Now everyone wants to raise the price of their food and give you small portions. It’s like all these Peruvian restaurants from Elizabeth had a meeting together and decided they were gonna raise the price on the food and give less portions out. Everywhere I go it’s the same high price and small portions, I understand inflation but seriously. I spent 25 dollars to eat with my family and we get a small portion that is basically enough for two people. I’m disappointed with this place. Tito polleria might serve small portions also but atleast the roasted chicken and French fries taste so much better...

I decided to order from here on New Year’s Eve since my first time ordering from this location went smooth. Sad to say I was extremely disappointed when I ordered the Papa a la huancaína. Usually when I order this dish from other restaurants I am getting more than just one little potato. If I would have known I was getting one small russet potato for 8 dollars I would have never ordered this. Just a heads up for anyone ordering this meal... They charge 3 dollars for a regular potato and charge and additional 5 just for the sauce ! ( was told by employee when inquired about the price ) If this is for single person desperate for this dish and you’re comfortable paying for the convenience then maybe but if you’re ordering for more than one more person this is totally a waste. The dish was also dry and looked like it was just thrown in. I hope they change the serving size and price for this specific dish in the future because there other dishes are actually...

Guys I don't know if maybe this day they didn't have the regular staff or what, but if you have a menu I expect you to have it available for eating. I am here now and it's a Sunday early afternoon. I ask for a Galao which is on the menu and the lady says oh I don't have that today. Then I ask for a cappuccino and she couldn't give me that neither. So I settled for an expresso. Both coffees I asked for contain expresso just with a little milk and froth!!! How can you not supply me this? For my meal I ask for a steak medium rare and nope she had no clue what I was in need for! Horrible service. I will never go back !! I love Peruvian food and I was not able to enjoy some Peruvian food. I know a Galoa is Portuguese way of calling cafe con leche but as I said if it is on your menu I expect you to be able...
